Happy vet nurse day!!

Today we’re celebrating the incredible vet nurses who keep our clinic running, our patients cared for, and our vets (mostly 😉) organised!

Our nurses are there for the messy jobs, the long days, the emergencies, the anxious patients, the worried owners and everything in between.

They monitor anaesthetics, prepare and assist with surgery, care for hospitalised patients, clean up the messes, answer questions, comfort scared animals and manage to keep everything moving at the same time.

They put their hearts into caring for every patient that comes through our doors — whether they have fur, feathers, scales or hooves.

To our amazing team of vet nurses, thank you! Thank you for your patience, compassion, hard work, knowledge and dedication. We genuinely couldn't do what we do without you.

Happy National Vet Nurse Day to all the incredible vet nurses out there! 💕

We are currently experiencing some technical issues with our computer systems, which means unfortunately we are unable to access client files at the moment.

Our team is working to get everything back up and running as quickly as possible. In the meantime, this may cause some delays with appointments, phone enquiries, accessing medical histories and other services.

We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding while we get this sorted!

We’ll keep you updated once our systems are back to normal.

It’s been a busy few weeks in our Equine Hospital!

We’ve had a variety of horses through for procedures and knock-down surgeries, keeping the team busy and the hospital running at full pace.

A big thank you to our team for the teamwork, dedication and care they bring to every case.

This handsome boy came into the clinic overnight earlier this week after an unfortunate crocodile attack. He sustained several bite wounds that needed some attention, so our team got him cleaned up, treated and comfortable. Thankfully, he did really well and is now back home with his family, happily on the mend. ❤️

With croc season starting in the NT, it’s a good reminder to keep our pets safe around the water.

We have had a young chicken handed in to our clinic. Caught by a passer-by running down Hillier road.
Looks to have been attacked by a dog, is okay and with no serious damage.
A very friendly chook who enjoys head scratches!
