🦷🫏 Donkeys Need Dentals Too! 🫏🦷

This gorgeous girl is Ruffles, who visited us for her annual dental check-up recently. Even though she’s still young, Ruffles had quite a few sharp enamel points that could have caused her discomfort or difficulty chewing down the track. After her dental, she’ll be feeling much more comfortable – and ready to munch happily again!

Donkeys often don’t get the same attention as horses when it comes to dental care, but they absolutely should. Their teeth are very similar to horses’, and they benefit from the same routine care and regular checks.

💛 A big thank you to Ruffles’ dedicated owners, who know how important preventative care is for donkeys.

If you have a donkey (or are lucky enough to love one!), don’t forget – they need annual dentals too.

📅 Call us on 07 3289 1322 book in a dental check for your long-eared friend today!

🐶✨ Meet Noosa! ✨🐶

Isn’t she just divine?! 😍 Noosa came in for her second puppy vaccination this week with Dr Georgia, and let’s just say—we’re all a little bit in love! 💛

Her amazing Mum is very concerned about the number of ticks she is seeing in our area and is already on the ball when it comes to tick prevention (go Mum! 🙌). With our guidance, Noosa now has a personalised parasite prevention plan to keep her safe from tick paralysis as she grows.

🩺 Noosa’s Current Plan:
✔️ Monthly tick & flea prevention & intestinal wormer while she’s growing
✔️ Once her weight stabilises (usually 6–15 months):
→ Annual tick & flea injection
→ Annual heartworm injection
→ 3-monthly intestinal wormer

This tailored plan means peace of mind for Mum, and year-round protection for Noosa. 🌿✅

We can’t wait to see this happy girl back for her next vaccine next month! 🐾💕

📣 Reminder: Our annual tick & flea injection is now 25% OFF!
Now’s the perfect time to get your pup protected—give us a call to book!

🐐💜 A Lifetime of Love for Goats 💜🐐

This week, our large animal internal medicine specialist Dr Rachel had the pleasure of trimming the feet of two very special goats – Morning Star and Royal Dux – for their devoted owner Dulcie.

Dulcie has been breeding and showing goats for over 40 years, having bred more than 400 goats in her time. Morning Star and Royal Dux, a mother and daughter pair, are the last of her cherished herd. These two are now enjoying a relaxed, happy life and continue to bring Dulcie plenty of love and joy.

Dulcie kindly shared a treasured photo of Flicka – the last goat she proudly showed at the EKKA more than 20 years ago, when Dulcie was 80 years old. Flicka went out in style, winning Champion and First Place in her class – a fitting celebration of Dulcie’s incredible dedication and care.

Flicka is closely related to Morning Star and Royal Dux, meaning her legacy lives on in the paddocks today.

Thank you, Dulcie, for trusting us with your girls and for sharing your beautiful story. Your passion and commitment to your goats over the decades is truly inspiring. 💜

🐱🦷 Signs Your Cat May Have Dental Issues! 🚨

Cats are masters at hiding pain, so dental problems often go unnoticed. Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
🔹 Bad breath – Not just "cat breath"—a foul odor can signal infection!
🔹 Drooling or pawing at the mouth – A sign of pain or discomfort.
🔹 Difficulty eating – Slow chewing, dropping food, or avoiding hard kibble.
🔹 Red, swollen gums – Could indicate gingivitis or infection.
🔹 Yellow or brown tartar buildup – Plaque can lead to serious dental disease.
🔹 Weight loss – Painful teeth can cause your cat to eat less.
🔹 Changes in behavior – Hiding, irritability, or less grooming could be due to oral pain.
🩺 Regular dental check-ups can help prevent serious issues! If you notice any of these signs, book an appointment with us today.

🦔 Wildlife Wednesday 🦔

Last week, we had a very special visitor at the clinic — an echidna! 💛

This little one was clipped by a car and brought in for assessment. Thankfully, there were no internal injuries or broken bones — just a few broken quills. After a thorough check-up and some rest, our spiky friend is now on the road to recovery. 😁

Echidnas are tough, but like all wildlife, they need our help when they’re injured. If you ever come across one that’s been hurt, please call your local wildlife rescue or vet clinic.

Let’s drive carefully and keep an eye out for our native creatures. Every life matters. 🌿
