Great Western Animal Hospital As your petโ€™s family doctor, we will always have their best interests at heart. They are all lovely and happy to help or answer any questions you may have.

Our dedicated healthcare team at Great Western Animal Hospital, are committed to caring for and improving the quality of life of family pets and their wonderful owners Since our small beginnings in the 1960โ€™s as a one vet practice, Great Western Animal Hospital has been renovated and modernised over the years to become a Fear Free seven-vet practice with great facilities and a dedicated, compassio

nate team of animal lovers. We offer exceptional and compassionate service, well considered advice and a gold standard of care that is tailored to their (and your) needs. We as a team are committed to high quality Healthcare, Veterinary Medicine and Surgery. This means that it is very important for all our team members to participate in ongoing education and external courses to constantly update their skills. Our vets will often participate in continuing education seminars, conferences and courses to ensure we are delivering the most up to date standard of care. Our Nurses are also committed to their education by attending seminars and participating in training courses. All of our nurses are either Cert IV qualified or working towards their qualification, those that are qualified are also AVNAT Registered. We have a dedicated reception team who focuses on Customer Service and Satisfaction. They make sure that we maintain regular and close communication with our clients when their pets have recently undergone treatment so that the vets can better monitor their progress.

๐Ÿ‘‚ Which ear do you think is infected? ๐Ÿ‘‚
Slide to see if you guessed right!

Ear infections can sometimes be tricky to spot โ€” but redness, inflammation, and discharge (like in ear B) are key warning signs that your pet needs a vet check.

Left untreated, ear infections can become painful and may even cause hearing loss or balance issues โ€” so early diagnosis makes all the difference.

๐Ÿ’š Annieโ€™s Post-Op Check ๐Ÿ’š

Beautiful Annie came in for her post-operative check with Dr Kate after undergoing life-saving surgery to treat a pyometra โ€” a serious infection of the uterus that can occur in unspayed female dogs.

Pyometra can develop quickly and, if left untreated, can be fatal. Luckily her family were onto it quickly and Annie is doing amazingly well!

Early signs can include:
โš ๏ธ Increased thirst or urination
โš ๏ธ Lethargy
โš ๏ธ Loss of appetite
โš ๏ธ Vaginal discharge

Weโ€™re so happy to report that Annie is recovering beautifully and feeling much better! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ‘‚ 6 Signs Your Pet Might Have an Ear Infection ๐Ÿ‘‚

Ear infections are one of the most common issues we see in pets โ€” and catching them early makes all the difference. From head shaking to strong odours or sensitivity around the ears, these signs can mean your pet is in pain and needs a vet check.

If you notice any of these symptoms, donโ€™t wait. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent long-term damage and keep those ears happy and healthy.

๐Ÿ’š Happy Veterinary Nurse Day! ๐Ÿ’š

Today weโ€™re celebrating our incredible Veterinary Nurses โ€” the quiet heroes working tirelessly behind the scenes to care for your pets every single day. ๐Ÿพ

Vet nurses are so much more than animal lovers (though theyโ€™re definitely that too!). They:
โœจ Monitor your pets during anaesthesia and recovery
โœจ Collect blood and run in-house lab tests
โœจScrub in and assist in surgery
โœจ Perform physio and laser therapy
โœจ Provide emotional support to reduce fear and stress
โœจ Educate pet owners on everything from nutrition to parasite prevention
โœจ Comfort patients who are sick, scared or recovering โ€” often giving them the cuddles and reassurance they need most

They are the heart of every veterinary clinic, compassionate, skilled, and deeply dedicated to making sure every patient receives the very best care.

To our amazing team of nurses at Great Western Animal Hospital โ€” thank you for everything you do, the care you give, and the heart you put into every shift. ๐Ÿ’š

If your pet has ever been cared for by one of our nurses, take a moment today to say thank you, they truly make a world of difference.

Handsome Rocky Lee was in on Saturday for his annual vaccinations โ€” and he was such a good boy! ๐Ÿ’š

As the weather warms up and more pets are out and about at parks, beaches, and playdates, we tend to see a rise in preventable diseases like parvovirus, kennel cough, and leptospirosis.

These illnesses can spread quickly and can be life-threatening, especially for unvaccinated pets. Keeping your petโ€™s vaccinations up to date is the best way to protect them (and the community) from these serious diseases.

If youโ€™re not sure when your petโ€™s next vaccine is due, give us a call or book online today โ€” weโ€™re here to help keep your furry family members safe this spring. ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿพ
