🚐🐴 Why mobile vet care is better for large animals

For horses, cattle, goats, sheep and other farm animals, getting to the vet isn’t always simple.

Transport can be stressful, time-consuming and difficult, especially if you have multiple animals, young stock, nervous animals, or no easy access to a float.

That’s where mobile veterinary care makes a big difference.

✅ Less stress for your animals
They can stay in familiar surroundings, which often makes examination and treatment calmer and safer.

✅ No stressful float trips
Great for animals that don’t travel well, are unwell, lame, young, heavily pregnant, or difficult to load.

✅ Ideal for multiple animals
Routine herd or group visits can be more efficient when everyone is already on the property.

✅ More practical advice
Seeing animals in their normal environment allows us to look at paddocks, yards, feeding routines, water access, herd mates and management factors that may be affecting their health.

✅ Less disruption for you
No loading, towing, waiting rooms or long trips away from the property.

Dr Ryan offers mobile large animal visits across the Townsville region for family farms, hobby farms and acreage properties.

And yes, our regular Vet2UrPet services are still running as normal for dogs, cats, pocket pets, home visits, clinic appointments, surgery, dentistry and diagnostics. 🐶🐱

Sometimes the answers are hiding just beneath the surface 👀🩺🐾

Ultrasound is a fantastic, non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows us to take a closer look at what’s happening inside our patients. It can help us assess organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, gastrointestinal tract and more, often without the need for surgery.

Here’s Dr Rach getting a closer look while our patient is gently restrained to help keep her as still, comfortable and relaxed as possible during the scan. 💙🐾

A little gel, a little scan, and hopefully a lot more information to help us work out the next step.

Changing Your Pet’s Diet? Take It Slow.

Thinking about changing your pet’s food? Whether you're switching brands, moving to a prescription diet, or choosing a food better suited to your pet's age or health needs, it's important not to make the change too quickly.

A sudden change in diet can upset your pet's digestive system and may lead to:

🐾 Vomiting
🐾 Diarrhoea
🐾 Excessive gas
🐾 Reduced appetite
🐾 Stomach discomfort

Why Does a Gradual Transition Matter?

Your pet’s digestive system adapts to the ingredients, nutrient profile, and digestibility of their current food. Introducing a new diet too quickly can overwhelm the gut and disrupt the balance of normal digestive bacteria.

A slow transition gives your pet's digestive system time to adjust, helping reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset and increasing the chances of successfully accepting the new food.

A Simple 7-Day Transition Guide

Days 1–2:
➡️ 75% current food + 25% new food

Days 3–4:
➡️ 50% current food + 50% new food

Days 5–6:
➡️ 25% current food + 75% new food

Day 7 onwards:
➡️ 100% new food

Some pets, particularly those with sensitive stomachs or underlying gastrointestinal conditions, may benefit from an even slower transition over 10–14 days.

Monitor Your Pet During the Change

Keep an eye out for:

✔️ Normal stool consistency
✔️ Good appetite
✔️ Normal energy levels
✔️ No vomiting or digestive upset

If you notice ongoing diarrhoea, vomiting, or a significant decrease in appetite, contact us at Vet2urPet for advice.

🐐 A little bit of everything on Dr Ryan and Nurse Kaylah’s property visit! 🐍💉

Dr Ryan headed out recently with Nurse Kaylah for a property visit, with one of the jobs on the list being a young kid (young goat) named Clyde, who was due for castration and vaccination.

For suitable young kids, an elastrator ring can be placed around the sc***um above the testicles. The ring cuts off the blood supply to the tissue below it, allowing it to gradually shrink and detach over the following weeks. Correct placement, appropriate timing, pain management and tetanus protection are all important parts of the procedure.

Nurse Kaylah was on hand helping with handling and restraint, keeping everything running smoothly while Dr Ryan performed Clyde’s procedure and vaccination.

Of course, Clyde’s sister Bonnie and his mum were never far away, keeping a very close eye on proceedings and making sure he was being well looked after. 🐐💚

And because property visits rarely stick perfectly to the appointment book… there was also a surprise patient waiting! 🐍

The resident pet python came out for an impromptu consultation after its owners noticed a lump they wanted Dr Ryan to check. Definitely not your average back-to-back appointment!

From Clyde and Bonnie to a surprise python lump check, this visit was a perfect example of the variety that comes with getting out and about on property calls.

🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIZE!🎂

Today we’re celebrating our wonderful kennel hand and vet nurse in training, Charlize! 💕🩺

Charlize is one of those people who is always willing to jump in and help, whether she’s keeping our kennel patients comfortable and cared for, helping the nurses and vets, cleaning up the never-ending trail of clinic chaos, or learning all the new skills that come with becoming a veterinary nurse. 🐶🐱

We’ve loved watching her grow in confidence and knowledge, and we’re very lucky to have her as part of our team while she works towards her nursing career. 💗

Please help us wish Charlize a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🥳🎈

Walking in to start the day and apparently interrupting a very important staff meeting… 👀🐾😂

Not entirely sure what was discussed, but judging by the seating arrangement, it looked serious.

Clearly the closing crew had been busy the night before… 😂

🐾 Stress-free vet visits, without leaving home.🐾

For some pets, the hardest part of seeing the vet is not the actual appointment, it’s the car ride, the waiting room, the unfamiliar smells, and the general “why are we doing this?”. 🚐💙

That’s where our mobile vet service can help.

Home visits can be a great option for:

🐱 Cats who dislike travelling
🐶 Dogs who get anxious in the clinic
👵 Senior pets who are sore or less mobile
🐾 Multi-pet households
💉 Routine check-ups and vaccinations
💊 Ongoing health and medication reviews
🦴 Arthritis and mobility support
👂 Skin, ear and general health concerns

Your pet gets to stay in their own familiar space, and our team comes to you with the same care, kindness and attention you’d expect from Vet2UrPet.

And when your pet needs extra diagnostics, surgery, dental work or hospital care, our Veterinary Day Surgery clinic is here to support them too, with transport options available.

📞 Call 1300 287 738 to book a mobile visit.

🚨 Emergency C-section for Patchie… and FOUR tiny happy endings! 🐾💗

Patchie, a gorgeous Shih Tzu x Maltese, came into the clinic needing an emergency caesarean section after running into trouble delivering her puppies naturally.

A C-section involves placing Mum under a carefully controlled general anaesthetic, surgically opening the abdomen and uterus, and delivering each puppy as quickly and safely as possible. Once the puppies are delivered, the surgical team continues caring for Mum while another part of the team immediately switches into newborn puppy mode.

And this is exactly why emergency C-sections are such a team effort.

While the veterinarian is performing surgery and concentrating on Patchie, other team members are monitoring her anaesthetic, preparing equipment and medications, receiving each puppy as it is delivered, clearing airways, stimulating breathing, keeping the puppies warm and continually assessing them.

With newborn puppies, those first few minutes really matter. 🩺🐶

As you can see from the photos, it was certainly all hands on deck for Patchie's procedure! Between looking after Mum, assisting with surgery and having a dedicated set of hands for each little newborn, a procedure like this can quickly fill the treatment room.

The very best part?

✨Patchie came through her surgery well and welcomed FOUR healthy little babies!✨

There is something pretty special about watching a busy emergency procedure transform into four tiny puppies wriggling around beside their mum. 💕🐾

Well done Patchie. You did an amazing job, Mumma! 🥰

🦷🐾Dental health matters, and it is about so much more than fresh breath!🐾🦷

Dental disease is one of the most common health problems we see in dogs and cats. It often starts quietly with plaque and tartar build-up, but over time this can lead to inflamed gums, infection, loose teeth, pain, and difficulty eating.

Many pets are very good at hiding dental pain. They may still eat their dinner, wag their tail, or seem “normal”, even with sore gums or infected teeth. Sometimes the only obvious sign at home is bad breath.

Regular dental checks help us assess your pet’s mouth before problems become severe. During a dental check, we can look for tartar build-up, gum disease, fractured teeth, retained baby teeth, loose teeth, painful areas, and signs of infection.

Dental disease can contribute to:

🐾 Bad breath
🐾 Red, swollen or bleeding gums
🐾 Painful chewing
🐾 Dropping food
🐾 Pawing at the mouth
🐾 Tooth root infections
🐾 Loose or missing teeth
🐾 Reduced appetite
🐾 Bacteria entering the bloodstream
🐾 Extra strain on organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys

A professional dental procedure allows us to clean above and below the gumline, where toothbrushes and dental chews cannot properly reach once disease has set in. If teeth are badly damaged, loose or infected, they may need to be removed so your pet can be comfortable again.

Dental care is especially important for older pets, small breed dogs, brachycephalic breeds, cats, and pets who already have tartar or bad breath.

The good news? Treating dental disease can make a huge difference to your pet’s comfort, breath, appetite and overall wellbeing. Many owners are surprised by how much brighter and happier their pet seems once their sore mouth has been treated.

If your pet has smelly breath, visible tartar, red gums, or you are unsure when their mouth was last checked, now is a great time to book a dental check.
