🐢✨ Wildlife Wednesday – Mary River Turtle Rescue! ✨🐢

This special Mary River Turtle had a lucky escape after being knocked by a car. Thankfully, a kind-hearted member of the public brought it into the clinic for a check-up. 💙 Our vets made sure it was healthy and ready to return to the wild, where it belongs!

🚗 After heavy rain, wildlife is often on the move! Keep an eye out for turtles, lizards, and other native animals crossing the road, and always stop safely if you can help.

💚 Injured wildlife? Bring them to us, and we’ll ensure they get the care they need!

📅 We are CLOSED from Friday to Monday for the Easter long weekend, and will reopen on Tuesday, April 2nd.

📞 If you have an emergency during this time, please call our clinic number on (07) 3289 1322 – your call will be diverted to an emergency vet clinic for assistance.

Wishing all our clients and their pets a safe, happy, and chocolate-free Easter! 💛🐣

🦷🐾 Dental Health Matters – Just Ask Matilda! 🐾🦷

Did you know dental disease is one of the most common health issues we see in both dogs and cats? One of the earliest signs is tartar build-up and—yep—bad breath! 😬👃

Here at Samford Valley Vet, we take dental health seriously. If we notice tartar or signs of discomfort during a check-up, we may recommend a dental exam under general anaesthetic—and here’s why:

🔍 A thorough clean and exam simply isn’t possible while your pet is awake.
🦷 Scaling and polishing can be painful, especially if there’s gum disease or damaged teeth.
📸 Every dental procedure includes full mouth radiographs so we can check for hidden issues like abscesses or fractures.
🪥 We clean under the gum line and examine areas (like the back teeth!) that are otherwise impossible to reach in a conscious patient.

Take brave Matilda, for example! 💖 She recently came in for a dental and had tartar build-up on her back teeth—which we were able to fully clean. We also discovered a fractured tooth right at the back of her mouth, something that could easily be missed without a full dental exam.

Regular dental care can make a world of difference to your pet’s comfort and health. If you’ve noticed smelly breath or yellow teeth, it might be time for a dental check!

📞 Contant us to book your pet’s dental assessment today!

🌿✨ Wildlife Wednesday – Young Brush-Tailed Possum! ✨🌿

Meet this little Brush-Tailed Possum who recently needed a helping hand! 🐾 This young one is still learning the ropes of life in the wild, and like many joeys, may need some extra care if separated from their mother.

🚨 Did you know? Baby possums ride on their mother’s back until they’re old enough to venture on their own. If you find a young possum alone, it may need help – always contact a wildlife carer or vet for advice!

💚 Found injured or orphaned wildlife? Give us a call – we’re here to help!

🍫🚫 Chocolate and Dogs Don’t Mix! 🚫🍫

Leading up to the Easter weekend, it's important to remember that chocolate is toxic to dogs! While it's a sweet treat for us, even a small amount can make your pup very sick. 😟🐶

Chocolate contains theobromine, which dogs can't metabolise properly. This can lead to: ⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Diarrhoea
⚠️ Rapid breathing
⚠️ Increased heart rate
⚠️ Seizures (in severe cases)

🛑 The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is!

If you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate, contact your vet immediately – quick action can make a big difference. 💙

So as you’re stocking up on Easter eggs, make sure they’re well out of reach of your furry friends! 🐣🐾
Stick to pet-safe goodies instead!

🦠 Hendra Virus – Protecting Horses & Humans! 🚨

Hendra virus is deadly to both horses and humans. It spreads through contact with infected flying foxes and can cause severe respiratory and neurological symptoms in horses. 😔

💉 Vaccination is the ONLY reliable protection!
🔹 Initial two doses, 3–6 weeks apart
🔹 Six-month booster, then annual boosters

Hendra virus is 100% fatal in most cases—vaccination is essential for your horse’s safety and your own! Talk to us today about protecting your horse.

🦃✨ Wildlife Wednesday: Bush Turkey Chick Rescue! ✨🐣

This little (but surprisingly large!) bush turkey chick was rescued by a kind member of the public after being caught by a cat. It’s estimated to be around 1-2 weeks old and has now been placed with a wildlife carer to ensure it gets the best chance at survival. 💙

Did you know? Bush turkeys don’t rely on their parents! 🥚 The chicks hatch fully feathered and ready to fend for themselves, but they’re still vulnerable to predators like cats and foxes.
