🎃🕷️SPOOKTACULAR WILDLIFE🕷️🎃

Getting into the Halloween spirit? 👻 Before decorating your garden, spare a thought for our local wildlife!

While artificial cobwebs and other spooky decorations look great, they can sometimes pose a risk to birds, bats, possums, lizards and other little visitors to our gardens.

If you’re decorating outdoors this Halloween, why not opt for wildlife-friendly alternatives and keep decorations away from trees, shrubs and places where wildlife might be hiding or moving about?

You can still have all the spooky fun without the fright for our furry, feathered and scaly friends!

Wishing everyone a safe, happy and spooktacular Halloween! 🦇🎃👻

🐕 Welcome to another episode of “What Did the Doggo Eat?” 😲
Drop your best guesses below, and we will reveal the answer this weekend 🤔

EDIT: It was in fact a pair of pink tweezers!! Clearly this was WAY too easy. Most of you got it right, we will have to make the next round harder 😅

🐾 TODAY IS VET NURSE DAY! 🐾

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear scrubs covered in fur (and other things we won’t mention).

Our ridiculously talented team of nurses works tirelessly around the clock to love and care for their patients, and we couldn’t be more proud of them.

Happy Vet Nurse Day to our incredible team. We see you. 💙

Today is R U OK? Day 💛

In the vet world, we spend our days caring for those who can't speak for themselves.
Today, let’s use our voices to care for each other.

A simple conversation can make a massive difference. Take a moment to ask a colleague, a friend, or a loved one: "R U OK?" 🐾

🎇 River Fire is tomorrow night!! 🎇

Fireworks can be frightening for pets. A little preparation can help keep them safe and comfortable.

⁃ Keep pets indoors before fireworks begin.
⁃ Close windows and curtains and provide a quiet, familiar space.
⁃ Secure doors, gates and fences to prevent escapes.
⁃ Check ID tags and microchip details are up to date.

If your pet has severe fireworks anxiety, speak with your regular vet about the best ways to manage it.

If you're concerned about your pet, or if they've escaped, please contact us. As always, we will be open 24/7 throughout the weekend.

🦅 Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) - What You Need to Know

Every year, BVECCS provides free emergency care to thousands of injured and orphaned native wildlife patients. With bird flu now detected on our shores, we want to help do our part to keep our wildlife safe.

Avian influenza is a serious viral disease affecting wild and domestic birds. It can spread rapidly through wild bird populations, especially where birds gather in large numbers, and has caused significant mortality events overseas and in Australia's sub-Antarctic territories.

The risk to the general public remains low, but please do NOT handle sick or dead wild birds.

🐦 Found a sick or dead wild bird?
❌ Do not touch or move it
📸 If safe, take a photo or video
📞 Report it to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline: 1800 675 888

🐤 Have a sick pet bird?
If they become unwell (especially with breathing difficulties, lethargy or neurological signs) please call us to discuss before bringing them in. This lets our team prepare infection control measures to keep all our patients safe.

By following these steps, you're helping protect Australia's wildlife, our patients and our staff, while making sure sick wild birds still get the care they need. 💙

Another victim of the backyard zoomies! 🐾

'Mochara' was mid-victory-lap around the yard, when she clipped the garage wall, and managed to slice open her thigh.

Anyone with a sight-hound can attest to their famously fragile skin, with very little padding underneath, and an unfortunate tendency to bleed and bruise more than most. So, what would be an uneventful bump for most dogs, usually results in a trip to the vet for this crowd...

Thankfully, no vital structures were damaged, and after a quick stitch up, Mochara was headed back home to rest and recover, ready for the next adventure. 💛
