Under the lights: a ground-up view of our surgical theatre in use at Emergency Vets 24/7.

Yes, there's a patient under all those drapes, and that's a real anaesthetic happening.

This room is where we perform a variety of emergency and lifesaving procedures. Whether it's 2pm or 2am, our surgical facility is always open and available to our patients 🫶

‼️ The 2026 Winter paralysis tick season is well and truly underway‼️

Ticks are active, biting, and causing the same life threatening paralysis we see every year in dogs and cats.

😮 So far, we have treated 69 dogs and cats for tick paralysis.

Here's a snapshot by suburb.

One case from each of these suburbs: Babinda, Caravonica, Deeral, East Trinity, Edge Hill, Kewarra Beach, Mareeba, Millstream, Packers Camp, Speewah, Stratford, Trinity Beach, and White Rock.

Two cases each from Earlville, Freshwater, Mossman and Whitfield.

Three cases each from Gordonvale and Kuranda.

Four cases each from Bayview Heights, Brinsmead, Edmonton, Manunda, Mount Sheridan and Redlynch.

Five cases from Bentley Park.

Six cases from Woree.

Seven cases from Mooroobool.

🥹 Please...

1) Perform tick searches every day on your pets
2) Check that your tick prevention is up to date
3) If it's not, or if you're unsure, pop in to your primary care vet and grab yourself some tick prevention products TODAY.

AND

👀If you see your pet collapsed, or walking with a wobbly gait, stumbling, gagging, retching, coughing, or with a change in their bark or meow, please call us. It could be a sign of tick paralysis.

Can anyone with a cat relate to this? 😅

🚗🍃 Check out our new fully electric wheels 🚗🍃

This new EV is used by our Hospital Liaison team when we visit our colleagues in primary care clinics – they're the vets and nurses in general practice around FNQ who look after everything from puppy vaccinations to dental procedures.

☕ It's not all coffee, chats and morning teas, though 😉

👉 Important: if your pet has a consultation, hospital stay or surgery with us, we'll ask you to nominate your primary care vet, and request that they send us your pet's medical history.

🤷‍♀️ Why??

🫱🫲 Because we stay closely connected with vet clinics around Cairns to provide consistent care for our patients. Ultimately, if your pet sees us for an emergency, we need to know their medical history, and we also update your usual vet on treatment and medications provided by us.

🫶This our way of making sure the veterinary community works together to look after our shared patients, even when primary care clinics are closed outside of business hours, on weekends, or public holidays.

Keep your eyes peeled for the EV24/7 EV around Cairns and the Tablelands. Don't be shy... give us a wave 👋🏻!

One for the big dog people... what mix of breeds is this guy? He's one of our superstar staff pets. Hint: just two breeds.
