Dr Rhi recently joined the George Gray Centre Safety Squad at the GGC Hub in Sale for an informative Dog Safety Session.

The session covered:
🐶 How to safely approach a dog
🐕 What to look out for when encountering a stray dog
👀 How to read a dog’s body language
🦴 General dog safety tips for the community

The George Gray Centre’s Safety Squad helps disability clients build practical safety skills for everyday life and real-world situations. It was fantastic to see everyone learning how to stay safe and feel more confident around dogs! 💙

A big thank you to Dr Rhi for sharing her knowledge and helping make our community a safer place.

🌸 Spring is here—and so are seasonal health risks for your pets and livestock! 🌸

As the weather warms up, keep an eye out for common springtime veterinary concerns, including:

🐜 Parasites – Fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and intestinal worms become more active.
🌾 Allergies – Pollen and grasses can cause itchy skin, ear infections, watery eyes, and excessive licking.
🩺 Skin Problems – Hot spots, bacterial and fungal infections, and insect bite irritation are more common in warmer, wetter weather.
👁️ Eye Issues – Dust, pollen, and UV exposure can lead to eye irritation, conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, and pinkeye in cattle.

Regular check-ups and preventative care can help keep your animals healthy all season long. If you've noticed any of these signs, contact our clinic—we're here to help! 💚

Meet Kerry 🐄

Originally from the Waikato in New Zealand's North Island (the "less pretty" island, according to Kerry! 😉), Kerry graduated from Massey University and has been a veterinarian for around 8 years.

A self-confessed cat person, Kerry has three beloved cats back in New Zealand, now living with family.

When asked what she's most looking forward to at GVH, the answer was simple: experiencing different ways of doing things, learning about different farming systems, and working with a variety of animals.

While Kerry enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, her real passion lies in herd health. She loves using milk data, collar data and diet composition to help improve milk production and reproductive outcomes.
Kerry also has a special interest in the transition period and managing metabolic diseases, helping farmers keep their herds healthy and productive.

A few quick favourites:
🐱 Cat over dog
🐄 Cow over horse
🩺 Surgery over consults
🏖️ Beach over bush
🍵 Tea over coffee
☀️ Summer over winter

Kerry's advice for animal owners:
"Trust your gut. If you think something isn't quite right, give us a call—even if you just want a sounding board. And remember, if you think you've put rat bait out of reach of your dog... some of the elite few will still find a way to get to it!" 😅

If you'd like to book an appointment specifically with Kerry, just let our reception team know when you book, and we'll be happy to arrange it. 🐄

🐄 Lameness doesn’t wait!

Lameness can develop at any time, and once it sets in, it quickly impacts cow comfort, milk production, and fertility.

At Gippsland Veterinary Hospital, our experienced dairy vets provide prompt, on‑farm lameness assessment and treatment, helping keep cows moving and productive as herds head through Winter and into Spring.

✅ Experienced dairy vets – practical, cow‑focused care.

✅ Short wait times for treatment – lame cows seen sooner.

✅ Better outcomes with early intervention – simpler treatment and faster recovery.

✅ Protect milk and herd performance – sound cows stay in the system.

Delaying treatment often leads to chronic cases, longer recovery, and greater production losses. Acting early supports better welfare and stronger performance through the season.

📞 If you’re noticing changes in gait, reduced time at the feeding, or cows lying down more than usual, get in touch on (03) 51471177.

Early treatment keeps cows comfortable and milking well.
