Is your mate up to date? 🧐

Hendra virus is a deadly virus for both humans and horses. Vaccination is the best tool in the kit of a dedicated horse owner to ensure your mate gets the treatment they need without delay.

If you have a horse needing to start vaccination, or has lapsed in their protection, now is the perfect time to take advantage of our Hendra Heroes campaign.

Until October 12th, receive your second Hendra booster in a new course absolutely FREE when starting a new or restarting a lapsed vaccination course.

Continue to enjoy time with your mate without delay. Vaccinate. Protect. Ride! 🏇

If your dog drags or rubs their belly along the ground, itchy skin is the most likely culprit. The sparsely haired tummy is easily irritated by contact allergens, and plants like itchplant (Tradescantia) are a classic cause of red, itchy bellies in spring. 🌱

Insect bites, atopy, and skin infections can also be to blame. Check your garden for problem plants and rinse your dog's belly after walks in long grass. 🚿🐾

If the rubbing persists or the skin looks red, come see us.

Hot spots (acute moist dermatitis) are painful, rapidly spreading patches of infected skin, often triggered by fleas, allergies, or a coat left damp after swimming. ⚠️

Treatment usually involves clipping and cleaning the area and applying topical medication, and many hot spots don't need oral antibiotics at all. 🩹

Because they're so painful and can double in size within hours, prompt treatment matters, as does addressing the underlying cause so they don't keep coming back. If your dog develops a hot spot, book a prompt consultation with our team. 🐾

This sweet Basset Hound visited Dr Amber in Atherton for an ear check recently 🐕

Cytology is a quick, simple way to see what’s happening in the ear and help us choose the right treatment. In this case, we found Malassezia yeast under the microscope - a common cause of itchy, sore ears in dogs. 🤔

This in house diagnostic procedure had the patient home with accurate treatment in no time with happy and healthy floppy ears! 💪

Is your dog scratching, licking their paws, or rubbing their face as the weather warms up? They could have atopy (atopic dermatitis), an allergy to environmental triggers like pollens, grasses, and dust mites. 🌿

It usually appears between one and three years of age and often flares in spring. Atopy can't be cured, but it can be well controlled with modern itch-relief medications, medicated washes, and desensitising immunotherapy. 🐾

Book a check-up before the itch takes over. 📅

Who you gonna call........Rise Vets! 📞

Did you know we have vets on call across the region? Rise Vets is proud to provide a 24-hour after-hours service for both small and large animals. 🐾

This little calf needed some assistance over the weekend when Mum decided she no longer wanted to push. Thankfully, Dr Laura was on call and ready to help in a flash, successfully delivering the little one and ensuring Mum was also healthy and comfortable post-delivery. 🐂

Our after-hours service is readily available by contacting your normal clinic number. If you’re concerned about one of your animals outside of business hours, be sure to contact our after-hours service for immediate assistance and expert advice. 🤓

Over the weekend, our very own Dr Laura and Dr Monique from Charters Towers attended the 2026 JCU Vet Ball at Bartlett Park in Townsville, making the debut for Rise Vets! The girls had a wonderful evening catching up with other industry professionals as well as current students.

Rise Vets (formerly Tableland Veterinary Service) has been a key partner of the James Cook University Veterinary School since the first students enrolled in 2006, hosting all final year students for their cattle rotation at our Malanda clinic and with many of our team holding important teaching positions with the university. We are also a long-time sponsor of the JCU Veterinary Student Association and provide three scholarships each year for third and fourth year veterinary students to support their extra rural work placements.

With many of our current staff across Rise Vets being JCU graduates, we are proud to continue to support JCU, current and future students and the Veterinary Science program for many years to come!

Medicated shampoos can be a powerful part of treating skin disease in dogs. Depending on the ingredients, they can kill bacteria and yeast, calm itchy skin, lift scale and grease, and help restore the skin barrier, sometimes reducing the need for antibiotics. 🧴

The key is matching the right shampoo to the right condition and allowing proper contact time, usually about ten minutes before rinsing. ⏱️

Human shampoos are too harsh for dogs, so ask us what suits your dog's skin. 🐾
