How lucky are we to have such beautiful patients come in to the clinic! This is Loki, a stunning silver Bengal who we have been looking after recently. Those markings are magnificent 🥰

Loki has recently been diagnosed with a type of polyneuropathy that can affect Bengal cats. The peripheral nerves in the body are damaged, leading to muscle weakness. Loki was having some difficulty using his hind legs, he had a stiff gait and a somewhat plantigrade stance (where his heels touch the ground when standing). With some medications, time and a lot of love and dedication from his family, Loki is on the mend and as you can tell from these photos, is feeling a lot better! We hope you continue to improve Loki!

Here is a cause that needs our support. It began after Millie, a family pet, was allegedly seen on security footage being brutally killed and then her body being taken away and dumped.

Her case needs our support as the animal cruelty laws in Victoria are so weak and they need changing - most offenders just get a slap on the wrist. The maximum sentence here in Victoria is just two years, and those sentences are almost never handed out. If this happened in Queensland for example, a seven year sentence could be handed down.

Check out the page Justice for Millie to read the full details. There is a petition to sign if you believe that animal cruelty offenders deserve harsher penalties, as well as merchandise to help raise awareness of Millie's cause.

Wonderful news - Wookie had been adopted - his sister and Mum will be ready soon so keep an eye out here for further information.
This is Wookie! He is looking for a home of his own. His sister Autumn was posted here a few weeks back and landed on her feet in her new home, so now it's his turn! He is a playful mischievous boy, but he also has a heart of gold and loves a cuddle.

Today is World Turtle Day! Although we don't see may turtles here as patients, we did have one brought in by one of our wonderful clients who was found on the Koonung Trail. It was an Eastern Long Neck Turtle hatchling 🐢After a call to Wildlife Victoria for some advice, we xrayed him (with our dental xray unit!) to make sure his shell wasn't damaged and let him have a little swim in some water as his shell was quite dry. After he was given a clean bill of health, we asked our lovely client to give him a ride back home. We love taking care of our native wildlife!

Today is National Rescue Dog Day!

We are featuring nurse Amy's amazing rescue dog Sam! He is almost 17 years old - it's his birthday this coming Sunday 🥳 Amy and her family adopted him when he was only one year old from Save A Dog Scheme in Glen Iris. He has been an important part of their family and has even allowed Amy to bring two Burmese cats into his home! He had his eye removed around three years ago due to a detached retina but he hasn't let this stop him from enjoying life.

Can anyone guess what three breeds make up his heritage? 🤔 Hint: one is definitely not what you'd think!

Feel free to post your beautiful rescue dogs in the comments!
