Avian Influenza has been detected in QLD (primarily affects sea birds) so caution must be taken when handling birds. Bird flu is contagious to birds and occasionally mammals including humans.

In order to protect the community, our patients and staff our protocols have changed. We are still triaging wildlife but birds are no longer permitted in the building.

If you are bringing in a wild bird please call us when you are outside so we can provide further instruction. Thank you

Time for some pathology! 🔬

Ernest has been very busy this week running bloods & helping with cytology. Using the microscope was fun but he was worried he'd dye his paws when staining the slides.

We quickly explained this was just part of the job & it can be entertaining trying to explain to owners 😂

Ernest was helping out with Xrays today! Poor Rosie the Hippo was complaining of a sore leg so Ernest put on his lead PPE to take xrays.

We couldn't find any broken bones, or any bones at all really? 🤷‍♀️ How weird!

Ernest assisted in surgery today, though the team had to get creative so he could reach the patient. And we can't forget the all important tea break! ☕

These cuties came for a visit today. Super cute Mini Dachshunds! Aren't their colours divine?

Ernest insisted on setting up the IV catheters for our patients today. We think he did a pretty good job & looked cute doing it!
