🧸🐾 Meet Yardie! 🐾🧸

Just look at that gorgeous face! 😍 It's hard to believe this handsome boy had been secretly snacking on a towel. 😳🧵

Investigations revealed that Yardie had swallowed a large amount of towel material, which had become knotted together in his stomach. Because it was too large to pass safely, surgery was required.

A gastrotomy (an operation to open the stomach) was performed, and a surprisingly large amount of towel material was removed. 🩺🧵

Following surgery, Yardie stayed in hospital with us for several days so we could keep him comfortable and monitor his recovery closely. He received a constant rate infusion (CRI) pain drip, intravenous fluids, and special IV antibiotics to help support his healing. ❤️‍🩹

This is a great reminder that towels, socks, toys and other household items can be more dangerous than they seem. If swallowed, they can cause serious blockages requiring emergency surgery.

We're pleased to say that Yardie was a wonderful patient and is now recovering well at home with his family. 🐶💙

Connie came to see us with signs many pet owners recognise – lots of wees, a bit of discomfort, and all the tell-tale signs of a UTI 💦🐶

She started treatment, but when things didn’t quite improve the way we hoped, we knew this little lady needed a closer look 👀💛

This is such an important reminder that sometimes there’s more going on beneath the surface…

So we took some X-rays 🩻✨
…and there was the culprit! 😮

Bladder stones! 💎💎

These sneaky stones can mimic UTI signs but won’t get better with antibiotics alone. Connie needed surgery – called a cystotomy – to remove them and help her feel comfy again 🏥🐾

After her procedure, Connie stayed in hospital with us for lots of TLC 🥰 She was kept nice and comfortable on a pain CRI, monitored closely, and given plenty of cuddles (of course!) 💉💤💖

And as you can see… she had her very important support teddy by her side the whole time 🧸💕
Honestly… how cute is she?! 😍

We’ve sent her stones all the way to the USA 🇺🇸✈️ for analysis, which helps us work out why they formed and how we can help prevent them in the future 🔬✨

🌟 Little lesson from Connie:
If your pet isn’t improving as expected, it’s always worth investigating further, and Connie's dad brought her straight back when she hadnt improved. 💛

Give this sweet girl some love below 👇🐶💕🧸

🐾 Max the Farm Dog – One Tough Patient 🐾

Meet Max, a much-loved farm dog who recently came to us with a very large and aggressive tumour affecting his mouth and nose. ❤️

After discussing all options with his family, the goal was to give Max more quality time doing what he loves most. To help achieve this, we performed a surgical debulking procedure to remove as much of the tumour as possible and make him more comfortable.

This was no small task. The tumour involved a significant portion of his upper jaw, including multiple teeth, and had extended into the nasal cavity. During surgery, all affected bone and tissue were carefully removed, and the nasal cavity was packed to support healing over the coming days. As expected with a procedure of this size, there was considerable blood loss, but Max handled it like an absolute trooper. 💪

Max stayed with us in hospital for most of the week so we could keep him comfortable, closely monitor his recovery, and make sure his pain was well managed every step of the way. 🏥💙

He is now recovering at home, where he belongs — surrounded by his family, fresh air, and the farm life he knows and loves. 🌾🐕

Cases like Max’s remind us that sometimes treatment isn’t about a cure, but about comfort, dignity, and giving our patients the best possible quality of life for as long as we can.

We’re all rooting for you, Max. 💙

🎓🐾 Puppy Preschool Graduates! 🐾🎓

We are so proud of our latest puppy class superstars – Mochi, Bluey, Scout & Gigi! 🌟

Over the past few weeks, these clever cuties have been busy learning all the important life skills – sit, stay, polite walking, confidence building, and of course… how to be VERY good boys and girls for treats 🍖😉

Watching their personalities blossom and their friendships form has been such a joy. Puppy school isn’t just about training – it’s about building confidence, social skills, and setting these little legends up for a lifetime of good behaviour.

Well done, graduates! 🎉 We can’t wait to watch you continue to grow. Don’t forget to pop in and show us how clever you are! 🐾💕

🐾 Sweet Mertle 🐾

Mertle is a beautiful 16-year-old Persian who recently came to see us at Gwelup Veterinary Hospital after her mum noticed her appetite had decreased and she was drinking much more than usual.

We admitted Mertle for the day to run some blood tests, which showed that she has kidney disease — a very common condition in our senior feline patients. She received intravenous fluids to help support her kidneys and improve how she was feeling, and we were pleased to see her brighten up during her stay with us.

Mertle has now gone home with a special kidney-friendly diet and medications designed to reduce the workload on her kidneys and help slow the progression of the disease. With the right support, many cats with kidney disease can continue to enjoy a good quality of life for quite some time.

She enjoyed resting in her cosy hideaway.

We’re wishing her lots of comfortable days ahead 💗
