A lovely update on the ducklings we cared for recently.

We’re delighted to share that they’ve been reunited with their mother, who welcomed them straight back under her wing.

After being assessed and cared for by our veterinary team, it’s wonderful to see them back where they belong.

Caring for local wildlife is an important part of what we do, and seeing a family reunited is always a particularly rewarding outcome.

Happy Halloween!

Are your pets getting into the Halloween spirit? We’d love to see their costumes, so share a photo in the comments!

Just a quick reminder to keep chocolate and lollies out of reach, make sure costumes are comfortable and keep an eye on pets when trick-or-treaters come knocking.

Many pets look ‘mostly okay’… until they aren’t.

As pet parents, you know your pets better than anyone, but animals are absolute naturals at hiding when something feels off. By the time they visibly slow down, turn their nose up at dinner, or show signs of discomfort, an issue might have already been quietly brewing beneath the surface for weeks.

That’s why our team never takes a "wait and see" approach. When something doesn't feel quite right, we investigate.

Running comprehensive blood screens on our in-house analyzers gives us a clear snapshot of liver, kidney, and metabolic health within minutes, allowing us to catch changes early, long before they become an emergency.

Clarity leads to better outcomes, and keeping your best mate feeling their absolute best is always our why!

If you’ve noticed subtle changes in your pet’s energy or drinking habits, pop in or call our friendly team on (03) 5261 4137, or book your wellness check online anytime!

These precious little ducklings arrived at our clinic very wet, cold and in need of some urgent TLC after accidentally taking a tumble into a backyard swimming pool!

Thankfully, with some warmth, expert veterinary care and plenty of attention from Nurse Yasmin and Dr Alice, they’re now doing much better!

Caring for animals extends beyond our much-loved pets. We’re proud to play a part in looking after our local wildlife, providing veterinary care to those in need and helping them recover so they can return to their natural habitat where they belong.

🐾💙 HAPPY VET NURSE DAY! 💙🐾

We honestly don’t know how we got so lucky to have such an incredible team of veterinary nurses! 🥰

Pictured here are just a few of our fabulous nurses… because getting them all together for a photo is nearly impossible! They’re always too busy running around doing what they do best!

From assisting our vets in surgery, taking blood samples, running lab tests, monitoring anaesthetics, caring for hospital patients, administering medications, cleaning up endless messes, comforting worried pet parents, juggling emergencies, keeping everything running smoothly and, of course, sneaking in plenty of cuddles with our patients!

Our nurses really are the heart of our clinics, and we simply couldn’t do what we do without them.

Today we want to take a moment to recognise and thank our AMAZING nursing team:

Cielle, Yasmin, Megan, Tara, Sienna, Jess, Aviva-Luna, Melissa and Madeleine, along with Vanessa and Dani who are currently on maternity leave! 💕

And a special mention to the wonderful nurses who have been part of our team over the years.

To all the amazing veterinary nurses out there, Happy Vet Nurse Day! We’re especially proud of our fabulous team and so grateful for everything they bring to our clinics each day. 🥰

Thank you for your compassion, dedication, hard work, endless energy and the love you give our patients every single day.

Happy Vet Nurse Day from all of us at Torquay & Surfcoast Veterinary Clinics! 🐾💙

The team fell in love with beautiful Misu when he came in for a vaccination last month with Dr Alice. How beautiful is his eyes 💙

Last week Mabel was brought in to see Dr Alice after suddenly vomiting about 10 times in a row.

On examination Mabel was showing signs of shock and her gums were pale. She was immediately placed on IV fluids and bloods and ultrasound were performed for further investigation. Mabel was showing evidence of anaphylaxis. She was administered adrenaline and antihistamines which helped stabilise her circulation.

Whilst she initially gave us a big scare it wasn’t long before she was back wagging her tail and wanting food.

A couple of hours later her owner found the culprit- a dead bee 🐝

Insect bites are a common cause of anaphylaxis. While some dogs can react with a mild swelling, others can have very severe reactions. Signs of potential anaphylaxis may include include:
- Sudden collapse
- Pale gums
- Sudden vomiting
- Facial swelling or hives
- Respiratory signs

If you are concerned your pet is experiencing any of these signs don’t hesitate to contact us or bring them in immediately.
