Small animal Clinic At Croydon Vet Clinic we pride ourselves in providing the best service we possibly can. This area has separate heating and cooling.

We have the best equipment we can buy and our staff are well trained, skilled and experienced. We are proud of the caring, friendly attitude of our staff. Our primary concern is the health and welfare of your pet. In order to look after your pet's best interests we endeavor to give you the best advice we can and also to use our contacts in the profession to achieve the best outcome for you and your pet. We provide the following services;

In House Laboratory
We have a fully serviced laboratory, which allows us to monitor the health of your pet when unwell and for routine screening. The laboratory is invaluable in the management of many diverse conditions e.g. hormonal and metabolic disease, ear infections, kidney and liver disease and even to select treatment options for lumps and bumps. Imaging

We have a dedicated x-ray room with 300mA Siemans x-ray machine and automatic processor. Treatment Area

This area is for the daily treatments of hospitalised patients, preparations of patients for surgery as well as dental procedures and ultrasonography studies. We have several observation cages for patients recovering from anaesthesia or for patients requiring intensive care. Ultrasonography

Ultrasound is an extremely valuable tool to enable diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection for a wide range of conditions. Some of the problems include heart disease, urinary, liver and splenic problems. One of the major advantages of ultrasound is that it enables us to visualise inside the body in a non invasive way. Surgery
At the clinic we provide a wide range of surgical services. During surgery and anaesthesia we utilise appropriate monitoring equipment to minimise the risk to our patients. Ward

We have a separate ward where pets can be mantained in a clean, dry, comfortable, well ventilated cage. Free Clinics

Our experienced Vet Nurses run free clinics to assist owners with pet obesity, pet dental care and Rabbit and Guinea Pig checks. Please call for an appointment.

🐾 Understanding Stress & Behaviour in Dogs 🐶

Dogs communicate how they’re feeling through their behaviour and body language. Signs of stress can sometimes be subtle, so it’s important to know what to look out for.

🐕 Common signs of stress may include:

Excessive panting or yawning when not hot or tired
Lip licking, turning away or avoiding eye contact
Pacing, restlessness or trembling
Hiding, withdrawing or seeking extra reassurance
Growling, barking or snapping
Changes in appetite, sleep or toileting habits
💛 Behaviour is communication. Changes in behaviour may be a sign that your dog is feeling stressed, uncomfortable, fearful or unwell.

🩺 Always consult your veterinarian if you notice changes in your dog’s behaviour. Pain and underlying medical conditions can contribute to behavioural changes, and your vet can help identify or rule out medical causes and guide you towards appropriate support, including a qualified force-free behaviour professional when needed.

🐾 The earlier we recognise the signs and seek help, the sooner we can support our dogs to feel safe, comfortable and understood.

☀️🐶 SUMMER SWIMMING & HOT SPOTS! 💦

Love taking your dog swimming? Remember to dry, brush and check!

Warm weather and damp fur can contribute to painful hot spots, especially in dogs prone to itchy skin.

🐾 Help prevent hot spots: 💧 Dry your dog thoroughly after swimming. 🪮 Brush out mats and check beneath thick fur. 🐜 Keep flea prevention up to date. 👀 Watch for redness, licking or scratching.

🚩 Notice a red, wet or sore patch? Hot spots can worsen quickly, so contact your vet promptly. Avoid applying creams or home remedies without veterinary advice.

Keep those summer adventures happy, healthy and itch-free! 🐕☀️

🐶💕 Tiny Paws, Big Love! 💕🐾

Who can resist those puppy eyes, fluffy faces, tiny paws and adorable little tail wags? 🥹😍 Puppies bring so much love, joy and happiness into our lives! 🐕💖

But keeping our little fur babies healthy is just as important as loving them! 🩺✨

💉 Vaccinations help protect puppies against serious infectious diseases.

🪱 Regular worming helps protect them from intestinal parasites and supports healthy growth.

❤️ Healthy puppies = Happy puppies!
Miss Lyla recently came in for her second puppy vaccinations and stole the heart of everyone who saw her!

Give your little best friend the best start in life with regular vet check-ups, vaccinations, worming, nutritious food and LOTS of cuddles! 🐾🧸💕

Because they may be little, but the love they give is HUGE! 🐶🥰

Hello lovely pet parents - just a gentle reminder while Melbourne weather is heating up!!
Asphalt and concrete can reach dangerously high temperatures that burn paw pads long before the air feels unbearable to you.
• Try scheduling walks for the cool early mornings or late evenings.
• Stick to grassy or shaded paths.
• If you notice red, blistered, or peeling paw pads—or excessive licking—give us a call right away

🔬 What’s lurking under the microscope? 👀

Skin problems might look similar on the outside… but under the microscope, it’s a whole different story! 🔬✨

A little sample from the skin or ears can reveal some interesting characters:

🦠 Yeast – little round/oval budding organisms that can be linked with greasy skin, redness, itching and that unmistakable “something smells funky” odour! 👃😬

🦠 Cocci – tiny round bacteria that can hang out solo, in pairs or in little clusters.

🦠 Intracellular bacteria – bacteria caught inside inflammatory cells. 🚨 This can be an important clue that an active bacterial infection is happening.

🦠 Rods – long, skinny bacteria that definitely stand out from the crowd! 🥢 Their presence can be particularly important when deciding on treatment.

🍄 Fungal elements – depending on the infection, we may sometimes spot fungal organisms or spores hiding in the sample. 🔍

Because when it comes to itchy skin and sore ears, sometimes the answers are hiding where the naked eye can’t see them. 👀🔬

And remember — cytology is just one piece of the puzzle. We interpret what we see under the microscope alongside the patient’s clinical signs and history to work out what’s really going on. 🧩🐾
