🐾 Let’s talk about Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) 🐾

Has your dog suddenly become reluctant to jump, yelps when picked up, seems wobbly on their feet, or lost the ability to walk?

These can all be signs of Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) — a painful condition where the discs between the bones of the spine bulge or rupture, putting pressure on the spinal cord.

Some much-loved and popular breeds, including Dachshunds, Corgis and Beagles, are more commonly affected, but IVDD can occur in any dog.

⚠️ Signs to watch for:
• Back or neck pain
• Reluctance to jump or climb stairs
• Weakness or wobbliness in the legs
• Dragging the paws
• Difficulty walking
• Crying out

If you notice any of these signs, seek veterinary attention as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment can make all the difference to your pet’s recovery and long-term outcome ❤️🐶

Has anyone seen our Dark NorFo / Dark M**o clinic decorations? 👀

It seems they’ve decided to go on a little adventure over the last 24 hours and are currently missing from the clinic.

If you’ve happened to pick them up, we’d love to have them back. Please feel free to drop them into the clinic — no questions asked.

Our team (and the decorations) would be very grateful for their safe return! 🖤

Our very own Dr Jess headed to Melbourne today to take part in an in-person dentistry wet lab as part of her ongoing professional development.

The training included a comprehensive theory component followed by hands-on practical experience, allowing participants to develop their dental skills in a supported learning environment.

We’re incredibly proud to provide opportunities like this as part of our new graduate onboarding and training program. Not only does it help build confidence and clinical skills, but it also gives Dr Jess the chance to connect and network with other graduate veterinarians from Tasmania and across Australia.

If your pet is due for a dental check-up or could benefit from a brighter, healthier smile, you’ll be able to book with Dr Jess when she returns—or with any of our fantastic clinical team.

We’re looking forward to welcoming her back and seeing her put her new skills into practice!

We are back open EVERY Saturday at our Montrose hospital!

🎉 Open EVERY Saturday! 🎉

We’re so excited to announce that we are once again able to offer appointments every Saturday! 🐾

We know weekend appointments make it easier for many of our clients to access veterinary care, and we’re thrilled to be able to provide this service again.

Whether your pet is due for a check-up, vaccinations, or has a health concern you’d like us to look at, our team will be here to help every Saturday at our Montrose hospital, from 9am until 1pm.

Our phones lines will not be open at this stage, and we will only be seeing pre-booked appointments for now.

📞 Give us a call or book online to secure your appointment.

We can’t wait to see you and your furry family members! ❤️🐶🐱
