Did you know MVSC offers bee and wasp venom desensitisation for pets? 🐝

Bee and wasp stings can trigger serious allergic reactions in some pets. Venom immunotherapy (desensitisation) is a highly effective treatment for pets with confirmed venom allergies, helping to significantly reduce the risk of severe reactions following future stings.

Studies show that 85-90% of dogs receiving venom immunotherapy do not experience severe systemic reactions after subsequent bee stings. MVSC can a
create a customised immunotherapy vaccine for pets with confirmed bee and wasp venom allergies.

If your pet has experienced an allergic reaction to a bee or wasp sting, speak with our team to learn more about available treatment options.

CO2 Laser at MVSC 🎇

Laser treatment is a powerful tool we use in Dermatology, allowing us to precisely remove problematic tissue while minimising damage to surrounding healthy structures.

Why we choose laser:
🔺 Improves airflow into the ear canal
🔺 Reduces heat, moisture, and debris build-up
🔺 Targets diseased tissue with high precision
🔺 Less bleeding and faster healing compared to traditional surgery

The goal isn’t just to treat the current infection, it’s to break the cycle of recurrence and make long-term management more effective.

In cases like Soda’s, addressing the structural changes can make a huge difference in comfort, infection control, and overall ear health ❤️

Getting Alby back in the water! 🌊

Like many Labradors, Alby lives for the water, but ear infections were starting to get in the way.

With targeted therapy and ear flushing, we were able to clear the infection and build a plan that keeps him comfortable and lets him keep swimming!

Managing ear disease isn’t just about treating infections, it’s about helping dogs keep doing what they love most! 💙
