Family owned veterinary practice on the Mornington Peninsula. A dedicated and experienced team provi

Mt Eliza Village Vet was established in September 2016 by Dr Peter Sorensen and his wife Dr Libby Sorensen. Peter grew up in Mt Eliza and studied Veterinary Science at the University of Melbourne graduating in 2008. Mt Eliza Village Vet strives to provide thorough and modern veterinary care at a reasonable price.

Libby and I have always placed great importance on continuing education and keeping up with the latest advances in veterinary medicine.

One of the things we've valued most about starting Mt Eliza Village Vet is having the freedom to shape the direction of our clinic – from the services we offer to the equipment we invest in, always with the goal of providing the best possible care for our patients.

Ultrasound has become an invaluable tool in modern veterinary medicine, particularly in general practice. From assessing heart function and examining abdominal organs to guiding tissue sampling, it plays an important role in diagnosing and managing a wide range of conditions.

Over the years, we've invested considerable time in developing and refining our abdominal and cardiac ultrasound skills, and last week we were very excited to welcome our brand-new ultrasound machine to the clinic! A Siemens Acuson Sequoia with 4 different probes.

Isn't she a beauty! 😍

Thanks to Earl .diagnostics for getting us setup!

It's an exciting investment for us and another step forward in our commitment to providing high-quality veterinary care to our patients and community. 🐾❤️

After eight wonderful years, it's time to wish our lovely nurse Lauren all the best as she embarks on a new adventure in Queensland with her partner Josh!

Lauren joined us in 2018 as a trainee nurse and quickly developed into a highly skilled and valued member of our team, becoming one of our senior nurses. Over the years, she has shared her knowledge and experience, becoming a wonderful mentor to many of our younger team members.

We'll certainly miss Lauren's calm, steady nature, her dedication and the reassuring presence she brings to the clinic.

While we're sad to see her go, we're excited for Lauren and Josh as they begin this next chapter. Thank you for everything you've contributed to Mt Eliza Village Vet over the years, Lauren. We wish you both all the very best! ❤️🐾

We're so pleased to see Billi getting back to her happy, normal self! ❤️

It's been a challenging year for Billi and her family, navigating two serious medical conditions followed by rehabilitation after knee surgery. Through it all, Billi has been a little trooper, and seeing her back on her paws, full of energy and enjoying life again makes it all worthwhile!

Meet Brooke 🐾

Please welcome Brooke to the Mt Eliza Village Vet team!

Brooke joins us as a receptionist, bringing with her years of experience in reception and customer service. She may even be a familiar face to some of our clients, having previously worked as a receptionist at a local medical practice.

Being a local, Brooke has a great understanding and love for our Mt Eliza village community. She particularly enjoys getting to know our clients and, of course, meeting all their very special fur kids. 🐶🐱❤️

Outside of work, Brooke is kept busy with her two boys and is a passionate football fan. She is also actively involved with the local junior football club, the Dolphins.

And like the rest of our team, Brooke is a proud dog mum to her Staffy, Millie. 🐶

We're thrilled to have Brooke join the team and know she'll make our clients and their pets feel right at home!

🐦 H5 BIRD FLU: WHAT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS TO KNOW

H5N1 bird flu has been detected in wild birds in Victoria. We are continuing to see pet and aviary birds at Mt Eliza Village Vet, but we have introduced additional precautions for all avian consultations.

☎️ NEW AVIAN CONSULT PROTOCOL

If your bird needs veterinary attention:

• Contact the clinic before attending
• Tell reception about any illness, unusual signs or recent deaths
• Do not enter the clinic carrying a bird until you have spoken with reception
• Follow the team’s instructions about where to wait and how your bird will be examined

These precautions help protect our staff, clients, other pets and the wider community.

SIGNS TO WATCH FOR IN PET BIRDS AND POULTRY

Neurological signs:

• Unable to stand or fly
• Incoordination, circling or tremors
• Twisted neck or abnormal head posture
• Paralysis or seizures

Respiratory signs:

• Breathing difficulty or panting
• Coughing or sneezing
• Swelling around the head, neck or eyes

Other signs:

• Depression, closed eyes or ruffled feathers
• Diarrhoea
• Sudden or unexplained death

If you notice any of these signs, isolate the affected bird from other birds where possible, avoid unnecessary handling and contact us before travelling to the clinic.

For sick or dead wild birds, do not touch or collect them. Keep children and pets away, record what you see and report it through Agriculture Victoria.

Meet Atlas! 🐾

This little fella is a Norfolk Terrier, and I have to admit, I’ve got a real soft spot for these scruffy, wire-haired terriers! ❤️

Atlas was an absolute superstar for his surgical procedure today — calm, cooperative and an all-round excellent patient. 👏

🐶 Norfolk Terrier fact: Despite their small size, Norfolk Terriers were originally bred as working terriers to hunt foxes and other vermin. They’re one of the smallest working terrier breeds, but they certainly have the attitude of a much bigger dog!

Well done, Atlas! 💙
