Hello June 🥶

Goodbye May ☀️

Say hi to some of the beautiful happy faces that joined us during May ❤️

26/05/2026

😊 5 minutes with Nurse Schelly 😊

1. If you could be any animal for a day, what would you be and why? 🐾

I would like to be an otter 🦦 in the Scottish wilds ( in summer) just enjoying the surrounding scenery and the seafood 🦞🦐

2. What's the most unusual or memorable case you've ever seen? 🤔

There are lots but one I remember not that long ago was a little terrier type dog with a piece of horses hoof jammed between his teeth across the roof of his mouth. It had been there for a while and had rubbed through the roof of his mouth. He was brought in for smelly breath. The hoof piece was removed under a general anaesthetic and he recovered well 🩹

3. Do you have any pets? Tell us about them 🐶🐱

I have lots of pets. We have 6 dogs 🐶 Five Jack Russell who are very very spoilt and come with us everywhere on the farm and live a life of luxury. We have Poppit,Nutmeg,Jo Jo, Lillie and Rosie. Our 6th dog is our livestock guardian for our poultry. His name is Dumpling and he is a big goofy softy who is just a very special soul.

We have horses 🐴 that we play polocrosse on and our very special ones are Pumba, Graffiti, Ziggy, Willow and Nina. They are the most beautiful girls/ boys that keep us sane and broke.

My beautiful soul animal I guess though is Rupert my beautiful donkey 🫏 He was my 50th birthday present and is the most gentle, kind soul who just seems to know when you need some love (he could definitely be a therapy donkey)

4. What made you want to work in the veterinary industry? 🩺

I actually fell into the veterinary industry by accident. I was trained in the human health industry but had always been involved in some form of animal health as we lived on western properties along way from town. When I moved to the Darling Downs I went to get my cat it's vaccination and walked out with a job, I realised how much I loved the work as always something different and helping animals is a real joy. ❤️

5. What's your guilty pleasure outside of work? 📚📺

My guilty pleasure is definitely playing polocrosse but also my garden 🌿🐝

6. And the most important question of all time - pineapple on pizza.... Yes or No? 🍕🍍

Definitely pineapple on pizza. That salty with sweet taste is the best 😋

20/05/2026

😊 5 minutes with Dr Jake 😊

1. If you could be any animal for a day, what would you be and why? 🐾

Some kind of falcon, 🦅 fast flying with few natural predators.

2. What's the most unusual or memorable case you've ever seen? 🤔

A small Maltese cross for a second puppy vaccination. A bit quiet for a puppy, but didn't look out of the ordinary until I looked at his gum colour - Bone White! A quick faecal smear proved it to be hookworm, he was rushed to emergency and needed two blood transfusions! 💉 last I heard he was doing well, much more active and puppy like 🐶 Worm your dog's!!

3. Do you have any pets? Tell us about them 🐶🐱

Ravi 🐕 - chocolate border Collie, lazy boy who loves to kiss. Will eat entire leaves of bread if you dare to leave it unattended on the counter

Melody 🐶 - Merle border Collie, Ball-addict, sweetheart who will steal and cuddle your socks.

Tortellini 🐈‍⬛ - tuxedo cat, thinks he is a border Collie, rescue from UQ Gatton, super lovely boy.

4. What made you want to work in the veterinary industry? 🩺

Always been fond of animals, and I think after my family dogs growing up, passed away from complex diseases or things I couldn't understand, it made me want to know how and why, what I or others could do next time. There was always something I wanted to know more about, so despite the challenge, I worked hard to get there. 🥳

5. What's your guilty pleasure outside of work? 📚📺

Magic : the gathering cards, video games, swimming, role playing Disney villains with my kids. 🧙‍♂️

6. And the most important question of all time - pineapple on pizza.... Yes or No? 🍕🍍

Yes! Delicious, but I don't normally eat it since my kids like it more than me, so I pass it to them ❤️

13/05/2026

❤️ 5 minutes with Dr Dani ❤️

1. If you could be any animal for a day, what would you be and why? 🐾

A cat, 🐱 specifically my own spoilt kitties —mastering the art of naps and finding the coziest spots to recharge.

2. What's the most unusual or memorable case you've ever seen? 🤔

I once removed a fish hook 🪝 that had lodged underneath a cats tongue.

3. Do you have any pets? Tell us about them 🐶🐱

Hubble, AKA HubCat - my little feral kitten turned smoocher who was found on the highway after (we suspect) falling out of an engine, hence the name HubCat. 🐈

Luna - my rescue from my early vet school days. My trusty guinea pig for my university practical exams is now enjoying life as an elderly woman. 😺

Leo - My 3-legged kitty that was rescued at a previous workplace after he broke his leg. 🐈

Oakley - my little spoodle who is convinced she is a human baby. 🐕

Savvy - my sassy thoroughbred who is now enjoying an early retirement following a leg injury. 🐎

Mimir - a super friendlh albino Darwin python. 🐍

4. What made you want to work in the veterinary industry? 🩺

After losing my childhood cat in a traumatic way, I decided to focus my interest in medicine on saving others from similar experiences 💔

5. What's your guilty pleasure outside of work? 📚📺

A good Netflix binge while hiding my snacks 🍫 from my toddler.

6. And the most important question of all time - pineapple on pizza.... Yes or No? 🍕🍍

💯% yes - Hawaiian all the way! Pizza🍍

❤️ 5 minutes with Dr Laura ❤️

1. If you could be any animal for a day, what would you be and why? 🐾

An Osprey - I would love to be able to fly, love eating fish and there's a fair chance I would not get eaten myself 🦅

2. What's the most unusual or memorable case you've ever seen? 🤔

I once removed an entire BONDS wondersuit from a dog's stomach 😬

3. Do you have any pets? Tell us about them 🐶🐱

Two golden retrievers, Lily & Wyleth. Lily is my sweet old, slightly neurotic girl who I had wanted my whole life and got as soon as I graduated vet school. Wyleth was born with a limb deformity, but is the goofiest & happiest boy. I have a cat, Jiminy, who is obsessed with my husband and tolerates me, he is a naughty boy especially with eating things he shouldn't. I also have a 27 year old horse called Dennis who has been in my life since high school, he is now happily retired 🐴

4. What made you want to work in the veterinary industry? 🩺

I've always loved animals and found surgery fascinating. As a kid I was taken out to watch a C section on a cow and after that I was hooked!

5. What's your guilty pleasure outside of work? 📚📺

Staying up till 2am binging a good book. Love a magarita 🍹

6. And the most important question of all time - pineapple on pizza.... Yes or No? 🍕🍍
