🐦 Bird Flu Update | We’re Still Here to Help Wildlife 💙🧡
With recent cases of avian influenza (bird flu) in Australia, we’d like to reassure our community that Peninsula Veterinary Surgery is still accepting most bird and wildlife patients.
To help protect our patients, team and the wider community, we ask that if you are bringing in any wild bird or wildlife patient, please call the clinic when you arrive and remain in your car. A member of our team will come out to assist you and provide further instructions.
If you find a bird showing signs such as difficulty breathing, swelling around the head or eyes, tremors, or sudden death, please do not handle it unless necessary. If you suspect avian influenza, report it to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.
Thank you for helping us keep our patients, wildlife and our community safe while ensuring injured native animals continue to receive the care they need. ❤️
