🐾BEHIND THE SCENES🐾:ANAESTHESIA... When your pet is admitted for a procedure, we have an amazing team of highly skilled and compassionate nurses that make their stay as comfortable as possible. From the gentle handing, soft or pet funny voices to the warmth from cuddles, soft bedding and specialised heating blankets. They are very skilled and trained at identifying discomfort and pain and actioning it immediately. Our nurse team is actively involved in the anaesthetic process including monitoring where we use a combination of hands on approach (always touching our patients) and the use of high level monitoring equipment. We are able to monitor patients O2 levels, heart rate and rhythms with ECG , carbon dioxide levels, blood pressure (in a number of ways) and anaesthetic depth. We use a multimodal approach to anaesthesia to ensure the anaesthetic is safe and appropriate using intravenous and gaseous anaesthesia as well as CRIs , local anaesthetic blocks and pre and post surgery pain management plans. The nurse team is dedicated and always caring for your beloved furry baby as their own.❤️

FELINE PANLEUKOPENIA- FELINE PARVOVIRUS OUTBREAK. Feline panleukopenia is a highly contagious disease caused by the feline parvovirus. It is transmitted by bodily fluids but most often via faeces. It is very stable in the environment which allows infection to occur for long periods of time. Symptoms include depression, lethargy, anorexia, vomiting and bloody diarrhoea and death. There are no antivirals available for this terrible disease and treatment involves very intensive supportive therapy. Even with intensive therapy prognosis is poor. Vaccination is the only therapy to prevent infection. If your cats' vaccinations are not upto date we highly recommend vaccinating your cat to help prevent infection and stop this terrible disease. We have had over 10 cases from Bossley Park and Bonnyrigg that presented in the last 2 weeks that are parvovirus positive.

Today we pause and remember those who fought so bravely for our great nation. The ANZACs symbolise courage endurance and endless sacrifice.
They shall grow not old, as we are left to grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.

🐾INTRODUCING DR ZENYA 🐾 Dr. Zenya graduated from the University of Sydney. She finds the most rewarding part of being a vet is seeing her patients recover and knowing she has helped bring peace of mind to their families.

Originally from Hong Kong, Dr. Zenya speaks English, Cantonese, and basic Mandarin, which helps her connect with clients from a variety of backgrounds.

Outside of the clinic, she enjoys playing basketball, continuing to expand her knowledge in veterinary medicine, and spending time with her partner and her tuxedo cat, Oreo.🐈‍⬛
