A lovely story of companionship and loyalty!

Judith Geppert has an impressive resume of achievements and celebrations, but her capabilities are often questioned. Her dog Teddy, however, never treated her any differently.

We are all looking to save money, utilise technology and prevent/avoid our pets from costly treatments. This is a pretty good opinion piece by an American vet that is quite relevant.

Vet clinic life is busy, varied, hectic, emotional, draining and also very rewarding if you have the right people and culture around you! We strive to help people enjoy the beautiful benefits of pet ownership and strengthen that amazing human to animal bond! We can’t always help everyone, as (thankfully!) there will always be a range of opinions, views and circumstances, life truely is like a box of chocolates 🍫💝but our great team truly is caring, strong & committed to our patients and their lucky (even if we are all a bit nutty!)

Parvo virus alert 🦠 We can confirm a case of Parvo virus in Wauchope this week in a 5 week old puppy. Sadly the pup did not survive. ☹️Parvo is easily & effectively prevented with vaccination 💉 but the virus itself can survive very long periods (many months!) in the environment & is resistant to most disinfectants so can be very hard to eliminate. Parvo virus damages the gut lining leading to gut upsets (vomiting & diarrhoea that can be quite bloody), and fever and septicaemia from the damaged bowel. The vaccines are very effective (once a dog has had their course of puppy vaccines from 6-14 weeks of age plus their adult booster, they generally have good protection for 3 years (vaccine, health and age dependent!). Sadly there are enough non vaccinated or incompletely vaccinated dogs to allow the virus to keep infections happening. Due to it’s horrible effects and that it’s virtually impossible to clean/disinfect some areas to be free of the virus, we ensure all dogs coming into the clinic for elective procedures are up to date OR have adequate vaccine titres on blood tests. Please get all puppies vaccinated by 6-8 weeks! At we keep our puppy vaccinations cost to a minimum (it’s less than a normal consult!!!) as a community service and because we believe it prevention and HATE seeing the awful effects of parvo on our great mates!
