🦙 Farm calls don’t get much cuter than this!

Dr Sarah & Dr Bella were out preg testing these gorgeous alpacas the other day 🩺✨ The smiles on their faces definitely tell us they enjoyed their call out, as much as the alpacas enjoyed their pats & extra handfuls of food.

Fun fact: alpacas are pregnant for around 11–12 months before welcoming their cria (baby alpaca) into the world 🦙🤎

PUPPY CUDDLES OVERLOAD 🐾🤍

A few weeks ago we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming this gorgeous litter in for their first vaccinations and health checks — and safe to say the clinic staff were completely obsessed! 🥹

Lots of cuddles from nurses Caitlin & Steph, wagging tails, puppy kisses and brave little patients all around. Everyone passed their health checks beautifully and were so well behaved for their vet visits 💉🩺

Thank you to their lovely owner for bringing these cuties in to see us — we’re pretty sure they made everyone’s day! 🐶✨

🌟 Welcome to the team! 🌟

We’re very excited to introduce Dr Bella, who has recently joined our team as a new graduate veterinarian! Bella completed her veterinary studies at James Cook University in Townsville and loves the variety that mixed practice brings.

Outside of work Bella enjoys horse riding, playing team sports (and is an avid Matildas and rugby fan!), hiking, cycling, and playing music. Originally from NSW, she is very excited to see more of the beautiful state that we call home 🏔️🏕️☀️🥾

Bella is looking forward to meeting all of our wonderful patients, and we’re thrilled to welcome her to the team! Please give Bella a warm welcome 🩺👩🏻‍⚕️🐾

🐶🚨 PARVOVIRUS ALERT 🚨🐶

We are currently seeing Parvovirus in the community, and we want pet owners to be aware. This is a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease, especially in puppies and unvaccinated dogs.

⚠️ Signs to watch for:
• Lethargy / weakness
• Loss of appetite
• Vomiting
• diarrhoea (often bloody)
• Dehydration
• Fever or low body temperature

Parvovirus can progress very quickly and can be fatal without URGENT treatment.‼️

If your dog shows any of these signs, please contact us immediately. Early treatment gives the best chance of survival.

Prevention is key:
Make sure your dog’s vaccinations are up to date and avoid high-risk areas if your pet is not fully vaccinated.

Please help us spread the word to keep our furry community safe 🐾

Get ready with Dr Sarah 🤠🐄

All geared up and heading out for another big day of preg testing — but there’s still time to get your herd booked in!

Preg testing helps you make the important calls such as — who’s in calf, who’s not and who to rejoin. It also helps with planning nutrition, calving groups, and overall herd management 👌

Spots are filling fast, so get in touch to lock in your farm 🐮📞

**Reality of performing a dental 🦷 😹 **

When the vet says ‘just adjusting the water pressure’… and the dental scaler chooses chaos 💦

Meanwhile the nurse on the other side of the table: fighting for her life and a dry face 🤣🩺
