With recent confirmed cases of H5N1 Avian Influenza in wild birds, we are asking everyone to take a few extra precautions when seeking veterinary care for a bird. Vigilance and good biosecurity are important.

When bringing a bird to Benetook Veterinary Clinic PLEASE CALL US FIRST on 03 5022 2455.
Our team will ask you a few questions and advise you on the safest next steps. Please do not bring a bird directly into the clinic or reception area until you have spoken with us. If we arrange for you to attend, you may be asked to remain outside with the bird while our team comes to you. This helps protect our patients, staff and other animals.
If you find a sick or dead wild bird, avoid touching or handling it, record what you see and report it to Agriculture Victoria.

Thank you for helping us keep Benetook Veterinary Clinic and our community safe.

We have had the pleasure of helping Bala onto his road to recovery, he is such a gentle boy. He is now looking for a foster carer 💚

FOSTER HOME NEEDED IN MILDURA!

Meet 9-year-old Bala, who is currently in the pound. This gorgeous boy was found as a stray in the middle of nowhere, he had been out there for quite some time and was not only thin, but missing hair on his face.

Bala has been receiving veterinary treatment, it is believed the hair loss is due to an autoimmune condition, he is already responding well to treatment. We are looking for a temporary foster home to help us bust Bala out of the pound and continue his recovery.

We are always short of foster carers in Melbourne and have endless dogs needing our help; so rather than transport Bala down now, we thought we would try our luck at finding a local foster hero that is ready to open up their hearts and home to this sweet boy.

Bala has tested well with other large breed dogs in the pound, he is a fairly chilled-out, friendly boy but did try his luck mounting our assessment dog, easily giving up. Bala could be suited to a foster home with a large-breed desexed dog, he would also be fine as the only dog. Bala hasn’t been tested with cats or other small pets; complete separation would be required.

Bala has shown to be a gentle soul that is quite easy going and friendly, he knows his basic commands, but after spending some time in the pound, his leash manners need some work!
Bala may be suited to living with dog savvy children over the age of 5 years old.

GSRV will supply everything Bala needs, he will need to attend our vet, Benetook Veterinary Clinic for ongoing appointments. We are unsure how long Bala’s foster period will be, this depends on how he continues to respond to treatment.
All of our foster dogs must have a secure yard and be given the option to sleep inside.

If you are a Mildura local and can be the hero that Bala needs to help us get him out of the pound and on the road to recovery, then we want to hear from you! Please complete a foster application via our website www.gsrv.com.au

Today we celebrate Barley, who you would have seen from a previous post. He has officially completed his chemotherapy treatment!

From the very beginning, Barley has faced every appointment and every treatment with the happiest wagging tail and the most gentle nature. He has been an absolute superstar throughout his journey, and it has been a privilege for our team at Benetook Vet Clinic to be part of his care.
While every cancer journey is unique, today marks an incredible achievement worth celebrating. We couldn’t be prouder of Barley and his dedicated family, whose love and commitment have been unwavering every step of the way.
Congratulations, Barley! We hope your days ahead are filled with plenty of adventures, treats and cuddles.

Please join us in congratulating this beautiful boy!
