At Carnegie Veterinary Clinic we believe in providing you and your companion with uncompromising service & professional advice.

Carnegie Veterinary Clinic (Murrumbeena Animal Hospital) is located in an inner south eastern suburb of Melbourne. The clinic is well established and has been providing service and care to the companions and clients of Carnegie, Murrumbeena, Chadstone, and surrounds since 1989. The clinic originally operated from fairly small premises on the corner of Murrumbeena and Neerim Roads. The ‘Veterinary Surgeon’ sign is still present at the old site. In 2000, the clinic re-located to a much larger double storey, purpose-built facility with an old English terrace facade, on Rosstown Road. Carnegie Veterinary Clinic and Carnegie Cat Cottage (Urban Cattery) continue the tradition of service and care not only to the immediate neighbouring communities of Carnegie, Murrumbeena, and Chadstone, but also to clients and their animal companions from across a wide area of Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

Today, we celebrate Vet Nurse Day! A moment to shine a light on the true heroes of animal healthcare.
If you have ever spent time in a vet clinic, you know that nurses wear a hundred different hats before lunch. They are surgical assistants, X-ray technicians, lab experts, and pharmacists. But more than that, they are the comforting voice a scared pet hears on the treatment table, and the reassuring shoulder an anxious owner leans on in the waiting room.
They handle the chaos with steady hands, bring warmth to the hardest days, and carry an emotional weight that doesn't just clock out when their shift ends. To every veterinary nurse & the girls here at Carnegie Vets: thank you for your strength, your early mornings, late nights, your gentle care, and your fierce love for animals. The clinics simply could not run without you. Happy Vet Nurse Day!
Show some love to our vet nurses in the comments below 🥰🩷

You spot your pet blinking a little too much, maybe rubbing their face, and you notice a slight redness or a little tear-staining. Is it just a tiny irritation that will clear up, or is it something serious that needs immediate attention? That moment of worry when you see your pet struggling with their eyes is something every pet owner understands. Even seemingly minor signs like watery eyes or cloudiness can be signals of an injury or infection. Taking quick action and seeking early diagnosis and treatment can be the key to preventing severe complications like painful ulcers or permanent vision loss.
Some very common eye issues we see are:

👁️ Conjunctivitis
👁️ Tear Staining
👁️ Entropion and Ectropion
👁️ Cataracts
👁️ Cherry Eye
👁️ Corneal Ulcers
👁️ Glaucoma
👁️ Dry Eye

The above conditions are all very treatable if acted on quickly and not prolonged. We treat eyes as emergencies, so if your pet is suddenly squinting or pawing at their eyes, call us for an appointment on 9563 5422 🩷

Thank you to Animal Emergency Service for this great post on Toxic Plants for dogs and cats. With Spring just around the corner, it is a good idea to have a refresher and be reminded of the plants that can cause harm to your companions.
Some symptoms to look out for if your pet has ingested a toxic plant are:

🪴 Heavy Drooling
🪴 Vomiting and Diarrhoea
🪴 Pawing at the mouth
🪴 Extreme Weakness/Tremors

If you think your pet has eaten one of these toxic plants, don't wait, act immediately.
Give us a call on 9563 5422 to ask for advice from our friendly team. 💙

Yesterday we celebrated Black Cat Appreciation Day! An annual day that celebrates black cats, fights old myths about bad luck, and encourages people to adopt these sweet felines from animal shelters 🐈‍⬛
Some interesting facts about black cat:
🐈‍⬛ Black fur is a colour, not a specific cat breed.
🐈‍⬛ Bright sun can turn a black cats coat to look slightly brown or red.
🐈‍⬛ Their eye colour can be green, gold, yellow or copper.
🐈‍⬛ In many cultures, black cats can be seen as a sign of good luck and wealth.

Black cats are sometimes overlooked but they are probably the most affectionate and loving domestic short hair going around. They are super loyal, playful and cheeky!
If you have a black cat we want to see them in the comments below! 🖤

August is National Pet Dental Health Month & we would like to shine a light on how to keep your pet’s oral health in check. Feeding your pet a healthy, balanced diet is one way to reduce the risk of dental problems.

Dental issues can be distressing for your pet, which means it is very important to have regular dental health check-ups with your vet. Learning to identify the signs and symptoms of dental complications yourself can prevent the escalation of serious dental health conditions. These conditions can be serious if left untreated, not only causing pain and disease in the mouth but may also result in infection of the kidney, heart and liver – so it is vital for pet parents to learn how to keep their furry friends safe from disease.

What can dental disease look like in our pets?
🦷 Bad Breath
🦷 Red, Inflammed, Bleeding gums
🦷 Excess Salivation
🦷 Loss of appetite, resulting in weight loss
🦷 Pawing at the mouth

If you see any of the above signs in your pet, it is time for a dental check up! The vets here at Carnegie Veterinary Clinic will give your furry companion the correct plan to ensure your pets teeth stay nice and healthy. We perform our dental procedures under a general anaesthetic to ensure it is stress free and not painful for your pet. This gives us the best chance to examine every tooth thoroughly and ensure we remove all that tartar build up and plaque.

For any questions relating to your pets dental health or if you are wanting to know more about our dental surgeries, please call us on 9563 5422 & our reception nurses will guide you through the steps and secure you an appointment.
