Our amazing wildlife!!!

Today our local wildlife rescue brought us a lethargic and emaciated Flying fox with a severe fracture and tear to the wing.

Unfortunately the injuries meant he would be unable to be repaired and rehabilitated so he was humanely euthanaised.

To safely work with Flying foxes we are required to use thick protective gloves, sedation medication and need to be vaccinated with Rabies vaccination .

Bravery Award of the Month goes to Fluffy!!!!!

Fluffy presented to the hospital for examination of a suddenly swollen eyelid. A growth had developed below the eyelid suddenly and was rapidly increasing.

Plans were made for specialist imaging to assess the safety and suitability for surgery. The tumour had other plans...forcing us to perform emergency surgery and removal of the eye.

Fluffy is back to living life to the full and continues to have the support of his wonderful family.

Thank you for sharing this great picture of such a wonderful fur friend.

Leptospirosis Alert in Our Community
Due to recent flooding in our area, we want to alert pet owners that two confirmed cases of leptospirosis have been reported locally (Charlestown and Bennetts Green).

What is Leptospirosis?
Leptospirosis is a serious bacterial disease that spreads through the urine of infected animals, often in contaminated water or soil. Pets can become infected when drinking, swimming in, or walking through floodwaters.

Leptospirosis is ZOONOTIC - meaning it can be spread from animals to humans.
Children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are especially at risk. Practicing good hygiene and avoiding contact with potentially contaminated water is essential.

Pets at Risk:
* Dogs who go outdoors
* Pets exposed to standing water or puddles
* Animals who interact with wildlife or rodents

Symptoms in Pets Can Include:
* Fever
* Vomiting or diarrhea
* Lethargy
* Loss of appetite
* Jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes)
* Increased thirst or urination

Protect Your Family and Pets:
* Keep pets out of floodwaters
* Clean paws and fur after outdoor walks
* Ensure your dog is vaccinated — Lepto vaccines are available!
* Seek veterinary care immediately if symptoms appear
