🎉 Can you believe our School of Veterinary Science has turned 90?!

When chatting with our alumni at the celebration, one thing we heard time and time again was that it felt like only yesterday they were studying at UQ, even if it had been decades! 💚

It was wonderful to bring together generations of alumni, staff and friends to reminisce, share stories and celebrate the people who have shaped our School over the past 90 years.

The day was a beautiful reminder that while veterinary science continues to evolve, the friendships, connections and passion for the profession remain timeless.

🎂 So, what should we do for our 100th anniversary?

We might have 10 years to go, but it is never too early to start dreaming! We would love to hear your ideas for celebrating this incredible milestone, what you’d like to see for the future of our School, and any memories or stories you would like to share along the way.

💜 Happy Vet Nurse Day! 💜

We treated our amazing team to an afternoon of snacks, painting and a movie screening of Shrek🍿

Working in a veterinary hospital can be stressful, with long days, big emotions and plenty of challenges along the way. We wanted to give our team some well-deserved time to slow down, get creative, have a laugh and switch off for a little while.

Because looking after animals and the people who love them is no small thing. The people who care for them certainly deserve care, too. 💚

And can we just say… we definitely have some artists among us! 🎨👏

To our incredible vet nurses and vet techs, thank you for everything you do for our patients, their humans and each other. ✨

We all loved a little sprinkle of pixie dust in the hospital! 🧚‍♀️

Pixie came to UQ VETS for surgery, where she received a little extra patience, gentle handling and TLC. Alpacas can be particularly sensitive to stress, so this is especially important when they need veterinary care.

Pixie needed surgery to remove a sequestrum — a piece of dead bone in her right hind leg that was causing significant discomfort and leaving her unable to bear weight.

Our veterinary team performed a sequestrectomy, carefully removing the affected bone and surrounding infected tissue to help the area heal.

We are delighted to share that Pixie is now doing really well and is back to her normal self, playing with her alpaca friends! ✨

A big thank you to Pixie’s owners for trusting our team with her care. 💜

👑 A royal appearance for the King’s Birthday

Roxy is doing her bit for the celebrations as a Beaglier, which means she’s part Beagle and part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Her recent visit to UQ VETS involved some royal treatment of the less regal kind: an a**l gland expression. A common occurrence for our veterinary team, and an important part of keeping some dogs comfortable and healthy.

Roxy handled her duties like a queen.

Loki gets ready for his close-up. 🦷

This handsome Standard Poodle came to our Small Animal Hospital for a dental clean under anaesthesia.

Dental procedures are a common part of veterinary care, and regular dental checks can help identify problems before they become painful or more serious. They are also about much more than giving the teeth a good clean.

Once a pet is under anaesthesia, our veterinary team can take digital dental X-rays to look beneath the gumline for things we can't see from the outside, including hidden tooth roots, bone loss, fractures or infection. A dental plate is positioned in the mouth and used to capture the X-ray images, giving the team a closer look at each tooth and the structures beneath the gums.

The team also carefully checks and charts each tooth, measuring the gum pockets to assess periodontal health. Teeth are then thoroughly scaled to remove tartar and bacteria, before being polished to smooth the tooth surface and help slow future plaque build-up.

And if the X-rays or examination show a tooth is severely diseased, cracked or painful, the vet can determine whether an extraction or other treatment is needed.

Regular dental checks are an important part of keeping pets healthy and comfortable, so if your pet is due for a dental, talk to your vet about whether it’s time for a closer look.

Loki needed a little extra tender loving care while he recovered, but he was soon back on his feet and ready to show off those pearly whites. 🐩✨

What do you get when a baby possum, a joey koala and a turtle walk into the Small Animal Hospital?

A very busy weekend for our team! 🐾

We welcomed Bart, a tiny baby possum, Lorry, a baby koala who was later renamed Lorraine when we discovered she was a girl, and Donatello, a turtle who became Donna after we discovered she was a mum carrying eggs.

All three were checked over by our veterinary team and spent some time in the clinic before heading off to their next steps.

Bart and Lorraine are now off with our trusty wildlife carers, where they will continue to receive the care they need as they grow and develop.

And Donna will be released straight back into the wild to get back to her very important job as a turtle mum. 🐢💚
