🐍 Snakes are out and about again! We have seen a significant increase in snake bite cases in the last week.

Time is of the essence in regards to snake bites! If you have witnessed or suspect that your pet has being bitten by a snake, it is important to seek immediate veterinary attention! The longer your pet goes without treatment, the lower the chances of survival. If your dog collapses or appears to be not their normal selves; but then gets up shortly after and appears to be fine - call your nearest veterinarian immediately. Your dog needs to be seen by a vet straight away to perform bloods including a clot test to see if they have snake venom in their system, as it is likely your dog has been bitten.

Different types of snakes and the amount of venom that has been injected can cause patients to have a variety of symptoms including:

- Sudden weakness and collapse
- Muscle twitches or tremors
- Vomiting
- Dilated pupils
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
- Bleeding
- Excessive drooling
- Paralysis

Teamwork really does make the dream work!
A lovely gelding was referred to us for straining to urinate with occasional blood seen in the urine. A large bladder stone was discovered and he was booked in for surgery to remove it.
Dr Steve performed the surgery assisted by Drs Emily and Chris.
The gelding recovered well and is feeling much better!

In light of the recent confirmed Hendra virus case in South East Queensland it is a reminder to check and keep up to date with your horses vaccination programme.

For the month of July get your horses first Hendra vaccination done, the second vaccination is free thanks to Zoetis! If your horses vaccinations have lapsed or you've been thinking about starting them now is the perfect time.

Hendra virus (HeV) is a deadly viral disease that is transmitted from fruit bats to horses via ingestion of contaminated fruit bat urine, faeces or body fluids. Hendra virus (HeV) is still a very real threat. It causes a potentially deadly viral disease that can spread from horses to humans. When horses are not vaccinated it can delay life saving treatment as we wait for virus exclusions to be done by the biosecurity lab in order to provide treatment. Can your sick horses afford to wait?

Please note travel fees still apply for field call out and limited travel spots are available. To get your horses locked in please call the equine clinic on 0408 452 846.

Learning and teaching the next generation of vets and nurses is incredibly important. This week we had Dr Bronte showing a vet student how she conducts some small animal surgery, and Nurse Katie was instructing a vet nurse student on how to monitor an anaesthetic which is crucial to surgery.
