Meet Oakey, a gorgeous young Kelpie with some seriously impressive ears!!

Oakey came in to see us after developing an upset tummy, which is something we see very commonly in dogs.

"Gastro" can be caused by many things including dietary indiscretion (eating something they shouldn’t), sudden diet changes, infections, parasites, metabolic diseases, and even stress or anxiety. Common signs include vomiting, diarrhoea, reduced appetite, lethargy, and tummy discomfort.

While some mild cases can settle quickly, others may need veterinary treatment to prevent dehydration and help our patients feel better sooner.

If you need any assistance, we are on duty 24/7 throughout the long weekend 😁

Meet Chavo, who made a terrible life choice when he decided to eat some palm seeds… 🌴😬

Palm seeds are one of the most common intestinal foreign bodies we see in dogs. Unfortunately, they’re everywhere, and dogs seem to find them completely irresistible.

In Chavo’s case, his snack of choice led to protracted vomiting. An abdominal ultrasound revealed two palm seeds - one sitting in the stomach, and the other lodged in the small intestine causing a complete obstruction. Off to surgery went poor Chavo...

Palm trees commonly drop their seeds in the warmer months of spring and summer, so if you have palms in your area, keep a close eye on curious pups 🐶

If you see your dog ingest a palm seed, don’t wait it out. Seek veterinary care immediately. Early treatment may allow us to safely induce vomiting and avoid emergency surgery.

Murphy was zooming around at home while his parents were out for dinner and somehow managed to sustain a deep stab wound to the front of his chest. This was not exactly the ending they had planned for their romantic night out!

The wound was deep, but thankfully did not damage any vital structures. After a quick surgery to stitch him back together, Murphy was feeling much better and keen to get back to his usual antics 💛

Safe to say that Mum and Dad might be a little nervous about scheduling date night again any time soon 😐

‼️ Heat Stress Alert ‼️

With another hot summer weekend on the way, it’s a good time to remind everyone how fast pets can overheat.

Even active, healthy dogs like Eadie can get into trouble quickly. Her family noticed she wasn’t quite herself on her walk and brought her straight in for assessment. That swift action made all the difference. Here she is soaking up some final belly rubs from our nursing team before heading home 💛

🐾 Watch out for signs of heat stress:
• Excessive panting
• Bright red gums
• Weakness or wobbliness
• Vomiting or collapse

Animals most at risk include brachycephalics (short-nosed breeds), overweight pets, and those with pre-existing heart disease. If you think your pet may be overheating, get them into a cool shower, offer small amounts of water, and call us straight away for assistance.

We’re open 24/7 on weekends and public holidays, and here to help keep your pets safe this summer. 🌞🐶💛
