ANOTHER STRAY

Unfortunately, we have another stray cat currently in our care at Rural Veterinary Services.

This little guy is male, entire and not microchipped. He is also in need of medical attention, so we’re hoping to find his owners as soon as possible. 💙

📣 Please share this post! Someone may recognise him, or know a family who is missing him. Found Mudge street area.

If you recognise this boy or have any information, please call Rural Veterinary Services

Hey… does anyone know where my family is?🐾

Hi hoomans 👋🏼 I’m a little lost and I’ve ended up at Rural Veterinary Services.

I’m an entire boy and, unfortunately, I don’t have a microchip to help the lovely nurses figure out where I belong. 🥺

I’m pretty scared right now, but I’m definitely not feral. I’m just a little overwhelmed and would really, really like to go home. 🏠❤️

Surely someone out there is missing me?

If you recognise me, please contact the clinic or share my post so we can find my family! 🐱🤞🏼

Please help me get home. ❤️

🐶 International Dog Day ❤️

They might steal our socks, take up 90% of the bed, bark at absolutely nothing and somehow always know when we’re eating…

But we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🥹🐾

Today we’re celebrating the dogs who are our farm helpers, adventure buddies, best mates, couch companions and sometimes… our biggest patients!

Here’s to the muddy paws, wagging tails, wet noses and unconditional love that make dogs so special. ❤️

Happy International Dog Day from all of us at Rural Vets! 🐾

Drop a photo of your four-legged best mate in the comments — we’d love to see them! 👇🐕

🐾📺 A little enrichment goes a long way!

Hospital stays can be a little overwhelming, so we like to keep our patients’ minds occupied wherever we can. From plenty of cuddles and attention to some good old-fashioned Dog TV! 😂🐶

Anything to make their time with us a little more enjoyable and help keep those tails wagging. ❤️

🐾 Pathways to Pay Packet Night! 🐾

Last night, Amber and Montana headed along to the Naracoorte High School Pathways to Pay Packet night to chat with students about what it’s really like to work in the veterinary industry. 🐶🐱🐄

It was a great opportunity to share a little insight into the different pathways available within the veterinary field, the skills involved, and what a career in the animal industry can look like.

We love being able to support our local students and hopefully inspire the next generation of animal lovers to consider a career in the veterinary world! 💚

A big thank you to Naracoorte High School for having us! 👏

🎉 Happy Birthday, Bree! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating one of our incredible vets, Bree! 🩺🐾

While she’s spending her birthday exploring the beautiful sights of Tasmania (exactly where she’d rather be than us making a fuss over her for her birthday 🫣), BUTTTT we couldn’t let the day pass without wishing her a very happy birthday.

Bree, thank you for your kindness, dedication, and the exceptional care you give to every patient who comes through our doors. We’re so lucky to have you as part of the Rural Veterinary Services team.

We hope you’re having an amazing adventure, soaking up all that Tassie has to offer. We can’t wait to hear all about it when you’re back!

Happy Birthday from all of us at Rural Veterinary Services! 🥳💚

🔬What’s hiding under the microscope?💩🪱

These tiny oval shapes are worm eggs found during a Faecal Egg Count (FEC) from a sheep sample! While they’re microscopic, they can have a big impact on the health and productivity of your flock.

At Rural Veterinary Services, our nursing team performs in-house Faecal Egg Counts, giving you fast, reliable information to help make informed drenching decisions.

A Faecal Egg Count can help:
✅ Monitor your flock’s worm burden
✅ Avoid unnecessary drenching
✅ Slow the development of drench resistance
✅ Keep your sheep healthy and productive

All we need is a fresh faecal sample, and our team will do the rest!

If you’re unsure when your flock was last checked or would like to book a Faecal Egg Count, give us a call—we’re always happy to help.

👀 Take a look through the microscope in today’s video… those little eggs might be tiny, but they tell us a lot!

❄️ Winter? Cali would like to formally decline. B

This little pug has made it very clear that blankets are non-negotiable on mornings like these! 🐶💙
But honestly who can blame her 🥶🥶

Has your pet gone into full hibernation mode too? We’d love to see your cosy companions! Share a photo of your fur babies all tucked up in the comments. 🛏️🐾

Double the trouble, double the cuteness!🙈

These sweet Labrador puppies recently visited us for a procedure called eyelid tacking.

Some puppies develop entropion, where the eyelids roll inwards and the eyelashes rub against the surface of the eye. This can be quite painful and, if left untreated, may cause damage to the cornea.

Because these two are still growing, they’re too young for permanent corrective surgery. Eyelid tacking is a temporary procedure that gently rolls the eyelids into a more comfortable position while they continue to grow. Once they’re older, we’ll reassess whether they need a permanent correction.

For now, they’re on the road to much happier, more comfortable eyes and we think they’re pretty happy about all the extra cuddles too! 🥹🐶💙

Have a wonderful weekend from all of us at Rural Vets!

It’s little moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. 💙

After Rusty’s adventurous skewer ordeal and successful surgery, his beautiful little humans surprised our team with this gorgeous handmade card.

The long days, the emergencies, the emotional cases, and the hard moments can be tough—but thoughtful gestures like this make it all worthwhile.

Thank you, Rusty and your wonderful family, for making our team’s day. We’re so happy to see Rusty back where he belongs, making memories with his favourite little humans. 🐾
