💓 Tiny heartbeats, exciting news! 🐾

There's something pretty special about getting a little glimpse of the new arrivals before they've even made their debut!

Take a look at this pregnancy ultrasound we did recently! The two arrows are highlighting two of the developing puppies, while the left arrow shows one of those tiny little hearts beating away. ❤️

Ultrasounds allow us to monitor developing puppies and provide a valuable insight into what's happening beneath the surface.

Did you know that we offer ultrasound services as part of our diagnostic care? From pregnancy checks to investigating a range of health concerns, ultrasound helps us take a closer look and gather important information to guide patient care.

As a mixed practice Vet team, our ultrasound services aren't just for dog's and cat's, we work with animals of all shapes and sizes, from much- loved companion animals to livestock and everything in between.

And let's be honest, those tiny heartbeats never get old! 🐶💕

🐆 FUN FACT FRIDAY: CHEETAHS!🐆

This week, we're celebrating Zambi's newest member, so let's get to know one of the most incredible cats in the world! 🧡

💨 Speed demons! Cheetahs are the fastest land animals on Earth, reaching speeds of around 100–120 km/h in short bursts!

🐦 Wait... was that a bird? Cheetahs can't roar like lions or tigers! Instead, they make a range of fascinating sounds, including chirps, purrs, growls and hisses. Their high-pitched chirps can even sound a little like a bird calling! 🐦🐆

👀 Built-in camouflage! Those distinctive black lines running from the corners of their eyes down to their mouths are called tear marks. They're thought to help reduce glare from the sun while hunting.

🧡 From lightning-fast sprints to surprisingly bird-like chirps, cheetahs are full of surprises!

🐾 Have you ever heard a cheetah chirp? Let us know below!

Zambi has a new addition!! 🐆

We would like you all to welcome Viking to the Zambi family!
Viking is a very handsome male cheetah who now calls Zambi home. We will tell you more about this incredible animal species later in the week when we celebrate his birthday. It would not have been possible to give this special boy a beautiful home without the extraordinary efforts of Sutton Engineering Group NSW who constructed the cheetah dens in support of their partnership with our Foundation. We couldn’t be more thankful for their community spirit and love of animals 🙏❤️

You know when a toddler suddenly goes quiet and you just know that they’re up to no good?... Well, apparently the same rule applies to your boss.

Meet 'Chomper', the blood tube tilter tray (gently inverts blood samples).

One minute everything is quiet… the next, you discover your boss has decided to give the equipment a little personal touch. 😂

The update you know you all wanted...

LOOK WHO’S UP AND ABOUT! 🥰

Just a few days ago, this little girl was incredibly unwell, weak and barely responsive. Now look at her go! Up on her feet, walking around all on her own and looking SO much brighter 💕

We’ve been absolutely loving the updates from her owners, and it’s safe to say this little fighter has stolen a few hearts along the way.

Go little girl! Keep going! 💙🐄

✨️ Patient Spotlight✨️
🐄💙 A Tiny Patient With a BIG Fight!

On Tuesday, we had a very special little patient brought into our hospital. At just 2 weeks old, this tiny calf was extremely unwell.

She arrived hypothermic, lethargic, almost non-responsive and not doing well at all. Sadly, her mum had passed away a couple of days earlier from an unknown cause, leaving this little girl without her mum at a particularly vulnerable age.

We immediately placed a jugular IV catheter and started emergency fluid therapy to help support her circulation, along with antibiotics. She was then admitted to hospital for the day so our team could continue her fluid therapy and provide intensive nursing care - which of course our nursing team were more than happy to do!

Initially, she wasn't interested in feeding and had a very weak suckle reflex, but as the day went on, she slowly started to turn a corner. She became more alert and was able to get herself into a sternal position before going home. 💙
Her owners continued feeding her throughout the night, and on Wednesday she returned to us for another hospital day and continued nursing care.

And what a difference a day made! 🥰
By Wednesday, she was bright, alert and feeding well for Nurse Megan.

Today, we performed a recheck at home after her owners were concerned that she may have been scouring. Thankfully, this little fighter was bright, happy and very much feeling like herself.

In fact, when Nurse Megan arrived, she stood up and moved around, happily accepting the bottle that Megan offered her. 🍼🐄

From almost non-responsive on Tuesday to standing up and walking around just a couple of days later... we'll happily call that a win! 💙

Cases like this are a wonderful reminder of how important intensive nursing care, supportive treatment and dedicated owners can be, particularly when caring for very young and vulnerable animals.
Keep fighting, little one. We think you're pretty special. 🐄💙

🎉 This week we celebrated Nurse Latoia’s birthday! 🎂💙

Sometimes, amongst all the appointments, procedures, phone calls, paperwork and general chaos that comes with veterinary life, it’s important to stop for a moment and celebrate the people who make it all happen.

We love any excuse to celebrate our team… and let’s be honest, any excuse for a good chocolate cake is a pretty good excuse! 🍫🎂😋

Happy Birthday, Latoia! We hope you had a wonderful day 💙🐾🐶🐱🐴

🐑 LIVESTOCK OWNERS, DON'T FORGET THOSE HOOVES! 🐐🦶

With wet weather and soft ground, it's a good time to check in on your livestock's feet!
Prolonged exposure to wet, muddy conditions can soften hooves, making them more susceptible to damage, overgrowth and certain hoof problems. Sheep, goats and cattle can all be affected, particularly when they're spending extended periods on damp ground.

🌧️ Why does hoof care matter?
Soft, wet ground can contribute to:
🦶 Softened hooves that are more prone to chipping and damage.
✂️ Hoof overgrowth, particularly when natural wear is reduced.
🐾 Increased risk of lameness and hoof infections, especially in persistently wet, muddy conditions.

🔍 What should you be checking?
• Overgrown or misshapen hooves
• Redness, swelling or unpleasant odours
• Animals limping, favouring a leg or reluctant to walk
• Mud and debris trapped around the feet

✂️ Regular hoof checks and appropriate trimming can help maintain healthy feet and identify problems early. However, not every animal needs routine trimming, and over-trimming can cause further problems. If you notice lameness, pain or signs of infection, a veterinary assessment is recommended.
🐄 Whether you have cattle, sheep, goats or alpacas, keeping an eye on hoof health is an important part of your herd's preventative care, especially after a wet spell.

📞 Contact our friendly staff on 0429 668 384 you're concerned about your livestock's hoof health or need advice on managing foot problems on your property, or simply request a livestock pedicure the next time we come out to vaccinate/drench your livestock!
Healthy feet = happy livestock! 💚
