Dolly’s story is one of resilience, friendship and hope.

In July 2025, beautiful six-year-old Golden Retriever Dolly was referred to BVSC by Carrara for radiation treatment for an aggressive intranasal carcinoma that had eroded the front of her skull. Despite a guarded prognosis, Dolly exceeded expectations, enjoying more than a year of quality time with her family.

In October 2026, a repeat CT confirmed tumour recurrence. As more than 12 months had passed since her initial treatment, Dolly was eligible for a second course of radiation therapy, which she completed on 13 October 2026.

At her recheck this week, Dolly was doing really well, and we’re hopeful this second course of treatment will give her more precious quality time ahead.

A special part of Dolly’s BVSC journey is her friendship with fellow in house Golden Retriever Zumie, he was here to keep her company during treatment once again! Because sometimes, a familiar furry friend makes all the difference.

We’re proud to be part of Dolly’s journey and wish her and her family many more happy moments together.

Inspiring the next generation of veterinary professionals!

We love supporting the next generation of veterinary professionals and sharing the possibilities that a career in veterinary medicine can offer.

TICK PARALYSIS IS ON THE RISE

Pet owners, please be vigilant!

We’re currently seeing an increase in dogs and cats affected by tick paralysis, and the recent weather conditions have created favourable conditions for ticks to become active again.

Do you know what signs to look for?

**Weakness/Collapse

**Wobbliness when walking

**Lethargy

**Changes in their bark/meow

**Vomiting

**Retching cough

**Laboured breathing

Found a tick? Don't assume your pet is safe once it's removed. If you do remove the tick, please keep it to show your veterinarian team.

Tick paralysis can continue to progress after a tick has been removed for many days. If you find a tick on your pet, seek veterinary advice promptly and have your pet assessed by your closest veterinarian.

If your pet is showing any of the signs above, particularly breathing difficulties, worsening weakness or collapse, seek emergency veterinary care immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen! Early treatment can save lives.

PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BEST!

Make sure your pet's tick prevention is up to date and appropriate for their species. Remember, some tick products intended for dogs are highly toxic to cats, so always check with your veterinarian before using a product.

At BVSC, we know your pets are family. Please share this post to help keep our four-legged family members safe.

Today at BVSC, we celebrated our incredible Veterinary Technicians and Nurses as part of Awareness Week 2026.
This year’s theme, “Everyday Heroes: Strength, Skill, and Heart in Action,” could not be more fitting for our amazing nursing team.
Our specialist veterinarians simply couldn’t do what they do without them. From preparing for procedures and monitoring anaesthesia to administering medications, supporting patients through treatment and providing comfort, our nurses are there every step of the way.
They bring knowledge, skill, compassion and heart to every patient, while continually learning, sharing knowledge and striving to improve the care we provide.
At the centre of it all is our “Pets are Family” philosophy, something our nursing team lives every day.
Today we celebrate them, but more importantly, we thank them for everything they do every single day.
Thank you for being our incredible everyday heroes.

Vinnie has finished radiation therapy!
Meet Vinnie, an 8-year-old Labradoodle who was referred to our Radiation Oncology team after surgery , following a diagnosis of a large, high-grade soft tissue sarcoma deep within his left armpit.
The VSS Carrara team performed an amputation to remove the bulk of the tumour, before Vinnie was referred to BVSC for radiation therapy to target any remaining cancer cells and help reduce the risk of recurrence.
This brave boy completed 20 radiation treatments and celebrated his final radiation treatment in true Vinnie style – with a party hat and bandana!
Radiation therapy can form an important part of a cancer treatment, helping target microscopic cancer cells that may remain after surgery and reducing the risk of the cancer returning.
A huge congratulations to Vinnie and his family for reaching this special milestone. We’re so proud of you, Vinnie!

Sharing knowledge. Growing together. Raising the standard of care.

At BVSC, we’re not just passionate about caring for our patients, we’re passionate about supporting the wider veterinary community too.

Our team is made up of highly skilled professionals who love sharing their expertise, and recently our Radiation Therapist Julia headed to one of our Primary Care Vets, (Bundall), to spend the day training their team in CT imaging.

Through Julia’s specialised training, the team members she trained will now be able to perform CT scans within their own practice, giving them another valuable diagnostic tool to support their patients.

And this is exactly what continuing education and collaboration are all about.

**Sharing knowledge

**Building skills

**Supporting our veterinary colleagues

**Improving outcomes for patients

We couldn’t be prouder of our team for continuing to lead, learn and share their expertise across the industry.

Because when veterinary teams work together and share what they know, everyone benefits, especially our patients. For more information, please contact the BVSC team: [email protected]

Meet L*z — the little dragon breaking new ground in veterinary medicine!

When 6 year old Bearded Dragon L*z started experiencing seizures, an MRI revealed a large mass in his brain.

His veterinary team at (Jindalee) reached out to our Radiation Oncology team at BVSC, Dr Katherine Hansen and Dr Kate Bruce, to see if radiation therapy could help. And together, we did something that had never been reported before. L*z became the first reported lizard to receive radiation therapy for a brain tumour.

Using advanced CT imaging and detailed treatment planning, our team was able to precisely target the tumour while protecting as much healthy brain tissue as possible.

L*z received three daily radiation treatments and absolutely sailed through them!

Now for the best part…

** His seizures have resolved.
** He’s feeling better and continuing to improve.
** His follow-up MRI showed a significant reduction in the brain mass.

L*z’s case will now be documented in a scientific journal, helping veterinary teams around the world learn more about treating brain tumours in reptiles.

We’re incredibly proud to have played a part in L*z’s journey, and even more excited to see what the future holds for this little dragon.

A huge thank you to the team at Unusual Pet Vets Jindalee ( Unusual Pet Vets ) and Dr Josh Llinas for caring for L*z and keeping us updated on his progress.
