Meet Roy! 🐾
Say hello to Roy, who recently had big surgery for a tricky knee problem with Dr Will. Roy was diagnosed with lateral patellar luxation with patella baja — essentially, his kneecap was sliding out of its groove on the outer side of his knee, and it was sitting unusually low, making everything more complicated.
We staged the surgery and tackled both knees, doing a tibial tuberosity transposition (TTT) and sulcoplasty on each leg. In plain terms: we repositioned the tendon attachment on his shinbone to pull the kneecap back into line, then deepened the groove the kneecap sits in so it tracks smoothly.
Why stage it? Roy needed time to heal and relearn how to use each leg before we did the other side — doing both at once would have been too much for his little legs to cope with.
Roy has been an absolute superstar through it all — brave, patient, and spoilt rotten by his family during recovery. 💛
He is now well on the way to recovery and absolutely kicking goals with his physiotherapy and hydrotherapy sessions — we couldn't be prouder! 🏊‍♂️💪 We can't wait to see him bouncing around at full speed again soon. Big well done to Roy and his amazing humans!

Happy Vet Nurses Day you absolute legends!
To all our vet nurses, thank you. Your dedication, knowledge and unwavering commitment make an immeasurable difference, not only to the animals in your care but also to their families and to the entire veterinary team. You are the calm in the chaos, the gentle touch in a stressful moment, the voice for those who cannot speak, and often the very heart of a veterinary clinic. The world is a kinder place because of you and we'd be lost without 🩷🐾

🦜 BIRD FLU (H5N1) DETECTED IN GOULBURN

We would like to remind our local community and pet owners to remain vigilant following the recent confirmation of bird flu (H5N1) in a wild Greater Crested Tern in Goulburn.

At present, NSW authorities advise that the risk to human health remains low, and there have been no detections in commercial poultry or captive birds in NSW.

🐕🐈 HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PETS
• Keep dogs and cats away from sick or dead wild birds.
• Do not allow pets to catch, play with or eat wild birds or carcasses.
• Keep backyard poultry and pet birds away from wild birds wherever possible.
• If your pet has contact with a sick or dead bird and subsequently becomes unwell, contact your vet and let us know about the exposure.

👨‍👩‍👧 HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY

🚫 AVOID touching sick or dead birds or other wildlife. Keep children and pets away.

📷 RECORD what you see from a safe distance. Photos can be useful if they can be taken without approaching the animal.

Straight from the horse’s mouth! 🐴🦷

Continuing education and ongoing study are an important part of maintaining the excellent standard of care at Blayney Vets. Our veterinary team regularly meets to discuss the latest developments in veterinary medicine and share knowledge across the team.

Most recently, Dr Maddi gave a fantastic presentation on equine dentistry.

Did you know horses have hypsodont teeth that continue to erupt throughout their lives?

A dental examination involves so much more than simply floating teeth and removing sharp points. It’s a comprehensive assessment of the horse’s mouth and oral biomechanics, helping identify subtle abnormalities that may affect comfort, performance, or bit acceptance.

🦷 How often should your horse have a dental?

• Under 5 years: every 6 months
• 5–15 years: every 12 months
• 16+ years: every 6 months

Regular dental examinations can help identify problems early—before they become painful or start affecting your horse’s wellbeing and performance.

Keep your horse smiling! 😁🐴
