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.

This sweet 10 day old lamb managed to break his leg.
A splint was applied for stabilisation. He was growing fast, which means his bones heal fast! After 3 weeks and one bandage change, follow up X-rays showed the bone was healed enough for the splint to come off.

A fracture like this could also be treated with surgery to get the bone ends in the correct alignment. Splinting offered a lower cost option and thankfully achieved a great result for this little guy 🐑

Check out Baba Yellowlegs, the 5 month old female ferret.

Isn’t she just the cutest! 💕

Baba Yellowlegs was the sweetest patient seeking out cuddles from our staff. She recovered really well from her procedure and was eating again in no time.

Desexing ferrets can help reduce their smell and has multiple health benefits.
If you would like to learn more about ferret desexing and Baba Yellowlegs procedure click on the photos and see the comments.

If you have a ferret at home and are considering desexing, feel free to give us a call.

🦷 August is dental health month! 🦷

Dental health in our pets is just as important as our own dental health.

We will be offering FREE dental health checks this month at both our Trafalgar and Newborough Centres.

A free dental health check involves a 10min consultation with one of our veterinarians. The vet will assess the health of your pet’s teeth and provide you with a dental health assessment, treatment recommendations and preventative care options. 🪥

Have you noticed any bad breath? Or is your pet eating slower than they used to? This could be a sign of dental disease. Don’t miss out on free professional advice!

** Please note: If you have another concern you wish to discuss with our veterinarians in regards to your pet’s health you will need to book a consultation.

🌻 ❤️ Happy Mother's day to all our wonderful mothers out there! Thank you for all that you do, your love and your sacrifice ❤️ 🌻

This year was a particularly special one for our very own Dr Alinda as it was her first time celebrating it as a mother with her beautiful daughter. 😍 Motherhood has been a different pace to days at the clinic but she's got to admit that being a vet has prepped her well for the sleepless nights 😴 and poo-namis 💩
