🐍 FROM FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES TO LIVING THEIR BEST LIVES ❤️

Meet Banjo and Waylon, two very lucky dogs who survived a terrifying snake bite ordeal.

Their owners found them down the backyard, unable to get up and in shock. Both dogs were critically unwell and needed intensive veterinary care, including oxygen therapy and close monitoring.

❤️ Banjo needed oxygen support for four days.
❤️ Waylon was able to come off oxygen by day two.
❤️ Both boys spent nine days in hospital fighting their way back to health.

Snake bites can be life-threatening, and their story is a confronting reminder of just how quickly things can change. Without urgent veterinary treatment, the outcome could have been very different.

Thankfully, these two fighters pulled through! 🐾 Today, Banjo and Waylon are back to doing what dogs do best — enjoying life, getting out and about, and making the most of every day.

We’re sharing their story to raise awareness of the seriousness of snake bites and the importance of seeking veterinary attention immediately if you suspect your pet has been bitten.

If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, treat it as an emergency and contact your vet immediately. Don't wait for symptoms to worsen.

If you suspect your pet has been bitten, contact your vet immediately. Snake bites are a veterinary emergency.

We’re so happy to see these boys doing so well! ❤️🐶

Happy Vet Nurse Day! 🩺🐾💙

Today we celebrate the incredible vet nurses who are the heart of every veterinary clinic. From the early mornings and late nights, to the messy jobs, emergency cases, endless cuddles and everything in between. Our nurses are there through it all.

They comfort the scared, care for the sick, celebrate the recoveries and somehow manage to keep the whole clinic running along the way. 🥹

Being a vet nurse takes strength, compassion, patience, knowledge and a whole lot of heart and we are so lucky to have such an amazing team who give their all to every patient that walks through our doors. 🐶🐱🐴

To all the vet nurses out there, thank you for everything you do. You truly are everyday heroes. 🩵🩺

🐂 BULL TESTING SEASON IS UNDERWAY! 🐂

Our vets have been out on farm recently carrying out bull breeding soundness examinations and semen testing ahead of the upcoming breeding season.

A bull might look fit and healthy, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s ready to get the job done! 🐂

Bull testing helps assess important factors including reproductive health and semen quality, helping identify potential fertility issues before joining.

Getting your bulls checked before the breeding season can help give you confidence that your herd sires are ready to go — and help avoid finding out there’s a problem once the cows are already in the paddock.

🐾 Dexter’s journey from rescue to forever home ❤️

Some of our patients become quite special to us… and Dexter is definitely one of those boys. 🥹

Dexter first came into Vet Cross in June 2025 as a rescue boy from Red Collar Rescue Inc., and he had a pretty rough start. He was suffering from a severe Demodex mite infection, which had left his skin in a very sorry state.

But with treatment, care, baths, patience and lots of love, Dexter slowly began to transform. ❤️

From his early days with us…
🛁 July 2025: starting to grow his beautiful coat back
🐾 August 2025: happily posing around the office with his friends Queenie and Chester
🏡 And eventually, the best part of all — finding his forever family.

Dexter was lovingly raised within the Vet Cross family for a while by the wonderful Dr Amy Campbell, before finding his forever home with Geoff and his wife.

And just look at him now! 😍

Dexter came back to Vet Cross today with his dad Geoff for his annual health check and vaccination, and he was VERY happy to see everyone again! ❤️ He had plenty of cuddles to give and was clearly very pleased to be back visiting all his old friends.

From a little rescue boy with a very rough start… to a happy, healthy and incredibly loved member of his forever family.

Sometimes the best transformations aren't just about the fur you grow back - they're about the life you get to grow into. ❤️🐾

🐾 Mr Diddles’ visit to Vet Cross! 💗

Cuteness overload at our Bargara clinic! 🥰

Little Evie brought her best mate Mr Diddles in to see us after he developed a rash on his paw. Thankfully, with a little help from Nurse Jorja, Mr Diddles is recovering very well! 🩹🐾

We’re not sure who was the more important patient — Mr Diddles or his very caring owner, Evie! 💕

We love seeing our youngest clients bringing their furry friends in for a little TLC too. 🥰

Get well soon, Mr Diddles! 🐶💗

🐍 Snake bites in dogs & cats — every minute matters.

Not every snake bite is witnessed, and you may not find any obvious bite marks.

A dog can suddenly collapse, appear weak or wobbly, vomit or develop other worrying signs — and sometimes they may even seem to recover temporarily.

If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, don't wait to see what happens.

Keep them calm and still, carry them if possible, and get them to a vet as quickly as you can.

Our new guide explains:
🐾 The signs to look for
🐾 What you should — and shouldn't — do
🐾 Why some pets can appear to improve before becoming seriously unwell
🐾 How snake bites are diagnosed and treated

We're also proud that Vet Cross owner Dr Tim Hill contributed to Australia's national snakebite management guidelines.
