Trafalgar & Newborough Veterinary Centres

Trafalgar & Newborough Veterinary Centres Compassionate healthcare and advice for your furry family and farm. Wes established a branch clinic to the Trafalgar Centre in Newborough in 1979.

The Trafalgar Veterinary Centre was originally a one vet practice established in 1949 by Dr Wes Southgate. In February 1984 Dr Peter McCourt purchased the Centre. Dr Gee Tawfik joined in 1990 and became co-practice owner in 1991. In 2018 Dr Gee Tawfik became sole owner after Dr Peter McCourt retired. Dr Jared Waddell-Smith and Dr Jackson Chuo are now co-owners after purchasing the clinic from Dr G

ee Tawfik in 2021. Today the Trafalgar Veterinary Centre is open from 8.30am to 6:30pm Mondays and Thursdays, 8:30 to 5:00pm Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and 10am to 12pm Saturdays. Our Newborough branch hours are from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. Puppy Preschool is run by our very own Dr Kerrie Piper on Tuesday nights. The clinic offers an out of hour service for emergencies concerning any species with all emergency consultations conducted from the Trafalgar Centre.

How cute is Mimosa?!

She came in last week as a 2 day old weighing 6.8kg, because she hadn’t been able to urinate.
She was diagnosed with a condition called v***ar agenesis, which means she didn’t have an opening in her v***a.

Dr Jared performed surgery to find the internal structures and suture them to the skin to re-create her missing v***a.

We are happy to report she is recovering really well, has gained 2kg, and she semi-happily accepted a cuddle for a photo op.

Her owner is obviously very happy that Mimosa’s new ‘designer vagina’ is working well and no further issues are expected 😄

25/02/2025

Please note both our Trafalgar and Newborough Centres will be closing early today at 4pm for a staff meeting and staff training.

As always we will be available for emergencies on 0418 515 518.

Hope everyone has a good Tuesday! 🐤

These good girls are Gracie and Rosie and they would like to spread awareness about quick release collars to other dog families.

Last night the girls were up to their usual antics and playful games when Rosie's jaw got caught in Gracie's collar. Rosie twisted and pulled and pushed to try to get free, getting her front leg stuck and her jaw twisted in the collar. Gracie struggled to breathe and was unable to get away as Rosie rolled and pushed at her. Fortunately their family noticed a change in their usual playful sounds and ran to their aid. The quick actions to hold the dogs still while someone fetched the scissors no doubt saved the life of if not one, but both the dogs.

Quick release collars are designed to snap open whenever there is tension on the collar. If you leave your dogs unattended with collars on, we recommend investing in a quick release collar to help prevent devastating accidents.

Gracie has some bruising and swelling around her eyes and Rosie has some bruises and abrasions in her mouth, but otherwise these two girls came away relatively unscathed and remain the best of friends. They were the goodest girls today for their check with Dr Kerrie.
