Just a little “moo-nicure” day for these fluffy legends, Bella and Flora with Dr Laura and Nurse Gabby 😍

These adorable Highland cows were hoofin’ it in for their pedicure, and they handled it like absolute moo-dels! Healthy hooves = happy cows 💕

We’re udderly obsessed with these shaggy sweethearts 🧡
No bull — regular hoof trimming keeps our cattle comfy, healthy, and ready to strut their stuff around the paddock!

Happy Birthday Miss Koko! 💜🐾

Koko lives with Polycythemia Vera - where her bone marrow causes the body to produce excess red blood cells (the opposite of being anaemic), which can put vital organs at risk. Koko requires frequent blood testing, phlebotomy’s (removal of blood) and further ongoing medical management to continue living her best life.

Koko has shown us all what living life to the fullest looks like, and she has lived beyond her expected lifespan. This is a true credit to her dedicated family and veterinary team. Party hard Koko! 🎉🎈

Tilly has completed Chemotherapy!!! ❤️

Tilly was diagnosed with suspected non-epitheliotropic cutaneous lymphoma in November 2025. She has bravely completed 5 doses of oral chemotherapy. A little nervous at first, but soon warmed up to us when the treat jar came out at each visit 🐾

We are very proud of you Tilly and look forward to seeing you again at your monthly revisit 🌸

✨From Critical to Thriving – Forest’s Journey ✨

Forest was referred to us from HorseMedSA at the of 2024 with persistent diarrhoea and severe dehydration unresponsive to initial treatment.

On arrival, he was in hypovolaemic and septic shock. Dr. Gustavo, our Large Animal Internal Medicine Specialist, assessed Forest and initiated an intensive treatment plan.

Forest was diagnosed with:
• Clostridial diarrhoea (infectious cause of diarrhoea)
• Sepsis (bacteria in the bloodstream)
• Omphaloarteritis (inflammation of the umbilical arteries)

Forest was managed in our isolation unit, where he received intensive care before going home for ongoing treatment. At rechecks, he was given a clean bill of health.

Fast forward just over 1 year…

🌿🐴 Forest is now healthy, strong, and thriving – a remarkable transformation from the critically ill foal we first met.

Cases like this remind us why we do what we do ❤️

Adelaide researchers clarifying the thoroughbred yearling sales endoscopy process 🐎

Thoroughbred yearling sales are big business in Australia, but the endoscopy processes to identify and predict horses that will develop performance-limiting laryngeal collapse is a source of frustration for many in the industry. Dr Josie Hardwick of Equine Services at The Animal Hospital, Murdoch University has just completed a PhD through Adelaide University, under the supervision of Professor Sam Franklin.

She investigated how the sales endoscopy process can be improved. Her latest article “Delphi consensus on Thoroughbred yearling sales endoscopy in Australasia” has been published in the Equine Veterinary Journal and can be accessed through the link below: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/sq40CD1vn2i5kkA4Yt5h2TjpXLN?domain=doi.org
