🐾 TPLO Surgery at Southern Animal Health! 🐾

Is your dog limping or favouring one leg? It could be a cranial cruciate ligament injury - a common but serious problem that can lead to pain and arthritis if left untreated.

We’re proud to offer the gold standard surgical solution for this condition: the Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO). It’s designed to change the knee joint mechanics, prevent the harmful “shearing force” that damaged knees suffer, and get your dog back on their feet, comfortably.

✅ What this means for your pup:

Better long-term stability and mobility ✅
Slowed progression of arthritis ✅
A structured recovery plan with follow-ups and support ✅

📞 If you’ve been worried about your dog’s hind leg lameness, we’re here to help. Contact us on 9584 6100 or email [email protected] to book a consultation.

Let’s help your dog move freely again,pain-free, happy and back to wagging tails! 🐶💙

🐾 𝙍 𝙐 𝙊𝙆? 𝘿𝙖𝙮 – 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙄𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨 & 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 🐾

Today is R U OK? Day, a powerful reminder to check in with those around us - especially in the veterinary industry.

Veterinary professionals face immense emotional pressure, compassion fatigue, and burnout. It’s no secret: our industry has one of the highest su***de rates in Australia. 💔

So today, and every day, we ask:
👉 𝙍 𝙐 𝙊𝙆?
Not as a formality, but as a genuine invitation to talk, to connect, and to support.

💬 Whether you're a vet, nurse, receptionist, or a pet owner, your mental health matters.

As a client, here’s how you can support your vet team:

🐶 Be kind. A smile and a thank you go a long way

🐱 Understand we’re often working under high pressure and doing our very best for every animal

🐾 Don’t assume. If something isn’t clear, please ask. We’re always happy to explain why we do things a certain way

🌼 Show appreciation. Even small gestures make a big difference to our day

Let’s continue to create a community where compassion flows both ways, from us to your pets and from you to the people who care for them.

📞 If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out:
𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚: 13 11 14

🐾 Scrub Style Alert! 🩺✨

Some of our amazing vet nurses swapped their regular uniforms for a fun Scrub Day, where they got to show off their own colourful and creative styles!

From bold prints to cute patterns, it was all smiles (and maybe a few paw prints) at Southern Animal Health today. We’re lucky to have a team that’s not only skilled and caring - but a team who also brings personality and fun to the clinic every day! 💕🐶🐱
