Dayboro Village Vets Advanced, accessible and bond-centred veterinary care and services. Dayboro Village Vets’ vision is to make veterinary care accessible and inclusive.

We’re a veterinary practice that puts people first. We recognise that pet owners have expert knowledge when it comes to their pets, and we acknowledge and celebrate this by partnering with them to deliver professional veterinary care and service. Alongside patient outcomes, we measure our success by how included, engaged, and trusting our clients feel, and by the difference, we make in our communi

ty every day. WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US:

"I am incredibly grateful to see Holly, Ash and Rosie head up a new team to reinstate Dayboro with the excellent veterinary care the community desperately needs and deserves. Dr. Holly and Dr. Ash worked at Old Mill Vets back in 2008. Together with Rosie, I couldn’t have asked for a better leadership team to jolt life back into the clinic. Their surgical, medical and customer care is second to none. Out with the Old (Mill Animal Vet) and in with the New (Dayboro Village Vet), while retaining the core values of a family-run business. The community will be delighted with the new team and services."
- Dr. Slade Walker, Old Mill Equine Service

"I met Holly and Ash in 2008 when they were previously practicing in Dayboro. Over the years they provided an outstanding level of medical care for our dogs and horses. This included diagnosis, treatment, and advice concerning behaviour, diet, and health. Our animals have thrived under their care. With our West Highland Terrier Lola approaching 15 years of age and still enjoying a highly active lifestyle, including beach runs, swimming, and, of course, many, many cuddles. They have been caring, passionate, and empathetic throughout the years to our situation and needs. I have also been impressed with their dedication to their profession, seeing them constantly upskill and remaining at the forefront of their industry. We are thrilled to see them establish a high-end veterinary practice servicing the community’s needs."

🚨 TICK SEASON IS HERE! 🚨
Is your pet up to date with their tick prevention?

Paralysis tick envenomation can be life-threatening and potentially fatal, even with treatment - so prevention is key! 🐾

🕷️ Tick prevention options include:
• Yearly tick injections for dogs (which can be aligned with vaccinations)
• Monthly chews or spot-on treatments
• 3-monthly chews or spot-on treatments
• 6-monthly spot-on treatments
• Tick collars

⚠️ Know the early signs of paralysis tick envenomation:
• Lethargy or unusual tiredness
• Weakness in the hind limbs, a wobbly gait or staggering
• Difficulty or changes in breathing
• Changes to their voice
• Gagging, drooling, vomiting or difficulty swallowing
• Reduced or no appetite

⚠️ Tick paralysis is a veterinary emergency ⚠️

If you think your pet may be showing signs of tick paralysis, seek veterinary treatment immediately. The sooner treatment begins, the better the chance of a positive outcome.

🐶🐱 A note for our owners of older pets:
Dayboro Village Vets has seen multiple tick paralysis patients over the past couple of weeks. We've noticed delays in treatment for some older, arthritic pets because hind-limb weakness was initially thought to be an osteoarthritis flare-up.

Early tick paralysis symptoms can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from other conditions. Keeping your pet's tick prevention up to date is one of the best ways to help protect them.
If you have even the slightest concern that your pet may be showing signs of tick paralysis, please contact your veterinarian.

❤️ We’re always here to help, and we’d much rather see your pet for a false alarm than have treatment delayed.

Stay safe this tick season! 🐾

Meet Dave & Scout! 🐾💙

Dave and Scout have been visiting us here at Dayboro Village Vets since Scout was just a puppy, and it has been such a pleasure watching him grow into the beautiful therapy dog he is today!

From the very beginning, Dave and his family have been incredibly dedicated to giving Scout the best start in life. From regular weigh-ins and socialisation visits to making sure his diet was tailored to support his growing body, Scout has always been in wonderful hands. 🥰

Earlier this month, Dave noticed a lump developing on Scout. Being the proactive pet parent he is, he booked an appointment with us straight away to have it checked. After assessing the lump, we recommended surgical removal and, without hesitation, Dave booked Scout in and opted to have the mass sent for histopathology testing so we could find out exactly what it was.

The results showed that Scout had a trichoblastoma, a type of skin tumour. Thankfully, we’re very happy to share that the mass was successfully removed with clear margins, meaning no tumour was left behind! 🎉

Scout has healed fantastically and came in today for his recheck and vaccination… and, of course, plenty of snacks and cuddles! 🐶💕

Scout can now get back to being a Therapy dog bringing smiles to those in hospital, as well as his family. ❤️

Thank you, Dave, for your ongoing love, care and dedication to Scout. It has been an absolute pleasure supporting you both on this journey and watching the wonderful dog Scout has grown into. ❤️

Here’s to many more happy, healthy adventures, Scout! 🐾

Meet Myf & Murray! 🐾💕

Myf and Murray have been part of the Dayboro Village Vets family since the early days, and they are very much loved members of our clinic. 🥰 (You may have seen a photo of Myf on our Socials back in 2023!)

And can you believe that Myf is less than a month away from celebrating her 20th birthday?! 🎉🎂

Thanks to Murray’s incredible love, dedication and attentiveness, Myf is looking absolutely fantastic for a senior citizen of almost 20!

Murray first brought Myf to us in 2022 after noticing that she was inappropriately urinating and vomiting up her food. With his dedication and commitment to her care, we were able to help Myf get back to her happy, comfortable self.

Since then, we’ve worked together with Murray to create an ongoing senior-care plan to help Myf enjoy her golden years in comfort. This has included:

🐾 Monthly arthritis injections to support her mobility
🦷 Dental care to keep her mouth comfortable
🩺 Regular blood tests to monitor her internal health
❤️ Ongoing monitoring of her behaviour, appetite and toileting habits
🐱 Regular health checks to make sure she continues to feel her best

These days, Murray brings Myf in every month for her arthritis injection and health check, and, of course, the all-important cat treats! 😻

Myf is incredibly lucky to have such a passionate and attentive owner, and it is always an absolute pleasure to see these two walk through our doors.

Please join us in wishing Myf a very happy 20th birthday! 🥳🎂💗

Here’s to many more happy, healthy and treat-filled months ahead, Myf! 🐾

🐍 SNAKE SEASON IS HERE! 🐍

** Pet owners — it’s time to be extra vigilant!**

As temperatures rise, snakes become more active and encounters with dogs and cats become more common. Snake bites can be life-threatening, and early veterinary treatment gives your pet the best chance of survival.

🐾 WHAT DOES A SNAKE BITE LOOK LIKE?

Signs aren't always obvious, and your pet may not have a visible bite wound.

Watch for:

• Sudden weakness or wobbliness
• Collapse
• Vomiting
• Muscle tremors or twitching
• Difficulty walking
• Dilated pupils
• Difficulty blinking
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
• Blood in the urine
• Progressive paralysis or difficulty breathing

🚨 SUSPECT YOUR PET HAS BEEN BITTEN?

Treat it as an emergency.

1️⃣ Keep your pet as calm and still as possible.
2️⃣ Carry them rather than allowing them to walk. Movement can encourage venom to spread more rapidly.
3️⃣ Contact your veterinarian immediately and head to the clinic.
4️⃣ If you can safely identify the snake from a distance, take a photo — but NEVER attempt to catch, kill or approach it. Snakes are protected wildlife in Queensland.

⚠️ Do NOT wash the bite area, cut the wound, suck out venom or apply a tourniquet.

🌿 REDUCE THE RISK AROUND YOUR HOME

✔️ Keep grass short
✔️ Remove piles of rubbish, timber and other hiding places
✔️ Keep gardens tidy
✔️ Reduce rodents and other food sources that may attract snakes
✔️ Keep pets away from areas where snakes may be hiding
✔️ Keep dogs on a lead when walking through long grass or bushland
✔️ Keep a licensed snake catcher's number handy

Queensland Government advice recommends keeping outdoor areas tidy and allowing snakes to move away rather than attempting to interfere with them.

❤️ REMEMBER

A snake bite is always an emergency.

If your dog or cat suddenly becomes weak, collapses, vomits, trembles or develops unusual neurological signs — don't wait to see if they improve.

📞 Call us on 3171 2227 and seek emergency veterinary care immediately.

Meet Anita with Bentley, and the newest member of the family, Mini, cuddled in Dr. Michaela's arms. 💙
When rescue Dachshund Mini found Anita and Tim, he found more than a new home—he found a family committed to giving him the very best start to his second chance.
Since being adopted, Mini has settled in beautifully, gained some much-needed weight, and loves spending his days with his new big brother, Bentley. Mini’s arrival has also been a great support for Bentley who has suffered separation anxiety since his older brother passed away earlier this year.
Wanting to make sure every aspect of Mini's health was covered, Anita brought him in for a thorough health check.
Together, Anita and Dr. Michaela discussed Mini's transition into his new home, reviewed his microchip and desexing information, talked through any questions or concerns, and created a healthcare plan tailored to his needs. Because Mini's previous heartworm prevention history was unknown, he also received a heartworm test and heartworm injection to ensure he was protected moving forward.
It's always heartwarming to see owners so dedicated to setting their pets up for a happy, healthy future. With Anita and Tim's love, commitment, and proactive care, Mini's future is looking incredibly bright.
Thank you, Anita and Tim, for opening your hearts and home to Mini and giving him the second chance he deserves. We can't wait to watch him thrive. 🐾❤️

Meet sweet Lottie, a 12-year-old Golden Retriever, and her incredible, devoted owner, Keryn. ❤️
This year has been an extraordinary journey for Lottie. She has undergone a splenectomy, a partial liver lobectomy, endoscopic removal of a foreign body from her pylorus, exploratory surgery, and treatment for severe pancreatitis.
Facing even one of these procedures is a significant challenge, requiring dedication, patience, and unwavering love from an owner. Together, Lottie and Keryn have overcome every hurdle, and today Lottie is looking better than ever!
Keryn's commitment, attentiveness, and determination have made an incredible difference throughout Lottie's recovery. We feel so fortunate to work with such caring and dedicated pet owners, and it's a privilege to be part of their journey.
We know Lottie is a much-loved member of the family, and seeing both her and Keryn doing so well is the best reward. ❤️🐾

Meet Alexis and her very special boy, Edward. ❤️
When Alexis noticed Edward limping during playtime one morning, she didn't wait. She booked him in straight away so we could get to the bottom of what was going on. After diagnostics, Edward was diagnosed with medial collateral carpus ligament instability, and together we made a plan to give his ligament every chance to heal without surgery.
For the next 12 weeks, Alexis was there every step of the way. From regular bandage changes and recheck appointments to the strict home care needed between visits, her commitment never wavered. She gave Edward the very best chance at recovery with endless patience, love, and dedication.
Although the ligament didn't heal as hoped and orthopedic surgery became the best option, Alexis didn't hesitate to make the decision that was in Edward's best interests. Edward underwent surgery to stabilize his carpus, and once again, Alexis was there through every stage of his recovery, making sure he had everything he needed to heal.
Today, Edward is recovering well and is back to being the happy, cheeky little boss of the household that everyone knows and loves.
Stories like Edward's remind us that great outcomes aren't just about medicine, they're also about the incredible people who care for their pets every single day. Alexis, thank you for your unwavering love, trust, and dedication to Edward. He is one very lucky little goober to have you by his side. 💙🐾

🦘 Meet this sweet little joey, who was given a second chance thanks to a caring member of our community.

After his mother was sadly found deceased, this little one was discovered safe in her pouch and brought to us for assessment. Our team examined him and quickly contacted a local wildlife carer to continue his journey.

While he was with us, our wonderful nurse Lauren tucked him into a pouch inside her warm jumper. The dark, snug space mimics the safety of a mother's pouch, while her body heat and heartbeat helped comfort and calm him during a very stressful time. ❤️

This little guy is an important reminder to always check the pouch of a deceased marsupial when it is safe to do so. A simple act can save a life.

A huge thank you to the kind community member who stopped to help, and to the incredible wildlife carers around Dayboro. Your compassion, dedication, and tireless work give vulnerable native animals like this joey the best possible chance. 🧡

Has your pet been slowing down during these colder months? 🐾❄️

Just like us, our furry friends can experience osteoarthritis as they age. This common, chronic joint condition causes cartilage breakdown, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Keep an eye out for signs such as:
🐶 Lameness or limping
🐱 Difficulty getting up or lying down
🐾 Reluctance to exercise or play
🦴 Reduced activity or slower movement

To help keep your pets comfortable, Dayboro Village Vets is offering $25 OFF select osteoarthritis injections throughout August for eligible dogs and cats living with this painful condition.

If you've noticed changes in your pet's mobility, we'd love to help.
