First vet visit 🐾💕
These little guys came in for their very first vaccinations.. but judging by these photos, they thought they'd booked into a puppy café! 😂
Lots of cuddles, patience and, most importantly... TREATS!!!!
We're all about making those first vet visits positive, fun and Fear Free, plenty of treats, cuddles and good experiences to help them learn that the vet isn't so scary! 🐶😍
Did your pet love or hate their first vet visit?

Rainy season is here! 🌧
We're currently making some exciting updates to our clinic systems, which means a few of our usual flea, tick & worming reminders may not have come through as expected.
If you're sitting there thinking "Hmm... when did I last give them their FTW treatment?" Don't stress!!!
Give us a call and we can check your pet's records and let you know when they're next due. 🤳
Keeping your pets up to date with parasite prevention is especially important during the warmer, wetter months, so let's keep those unwanted visitors away!

Meet Koa! ♥🐨
Earlier this year, Dr. Derek and Nurse Georgia visited Cooberrie Park Wildlife Sanctuary to give this handsome little guy a health check and microchip.
Koa was born at the park in December and was more than happy to dish out some koala kisses, their adorable nose-to-nose way of saying hello!
Be honest... would you get any work done around this face? 😆😍

**SNAKE BITES - WHAT TO DO**

Snake bites can be life-threatening to dogs and cats. If you suspect your pet has been bitten, treat it as an emergency and contact your vet immediately.

🐾 Keep your pet calm and still, carry them if possible, as movement can help venom spread.

📞 Call your vet and let them know you’re coming. Don’t wait for symptoms to appear.

📸 If it’s safe, take a photo of the snake from a distance. Never try to catch or kill it. Snake identification can be surprisingly difficult, and different species can look very similar.

⚠️ Even if your pet seems completely normal, they still need urgent veterinary assessment. Signs can take time to appear.

Your safety comes first, leave the snake alone and get your pet to a vet ASAP.

🐴🐶 MEET GEORGINA! 🐱🐮

We’ve got a new face around the clinic, and we’re pretty excited about it! 👋💚

Dr Georgina graduated from JCU in 2022 and made her way up from sunny South Australia. She’s Bull Check accredited, has further studies in equine dentistry and small animal ultrasound, and apparently can’t decide whether she likes big animals or little animals more… so she chose both!

Georgina particularly loves getting out on large animal calls, but she’s just as happy seeing our small animal patients. She’s passionate about patient care and is known for being thorough, thoughtful and genuinely invested in her patients. 🩺❤️

When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll most likely find her with her partner, her two dogs and her horses, so it’s safe to say animals are very much her thing! 🐶🐶🐴

You’ll be seeing Georgina around the clinic part-time, so if you spot her, make sure you say G’day! 👋

Prevention Can Save Lives. ❤️🐾

Daisy’s story could have ended very differently... She spent 10 days in hospital with tick paralysis.
Ten days of intensive care. Ten days of constant monitoring and treatment. Ten days where her family had to hope that she would come home.
Thankfully, Daisy made it. ❤️
But sadly, not every pet does.

Tick season is here in Queensland, and we are already seeing an increase in tick paralysis cases.

Tick paralysis is one of the hardest things for our team to see. Dogs and cats can become progressively weak and paralysed, struggle to breathe, and require constant monitoring and intensive nursing care. It takes a huge amount of time, medication, equipment and, most importantly, dedicated staff to give them the best chance of survival.

Ticks don't discriminate. Young or old. Big or small. Indoor or outdoor. By the time you notice something is wrong, your pet can already be critically unwell.

We know tick prevention is an ongoing cost. But when you compare prevention to the emotional and financial cost of treating tick paralysis, it is something worth prioritising.

Tick prevention for your pet can start from around $250 a year, depending on the type of prevention, species and size of your pet.

Treatment for tick paralysis can start from around $2,000, and can be significantly more depending on your pet's size, how severe their paralysis is, and how long they need hospital care.

But honestly, the cost isn't even the part that stays with us.
It's watching a family wait.
It's watching a dog or cat struggle to breathe.
It's watching our team work around the clock to give a patient every possible chance.
And it's the heartbreak of losing a patient when we know prevention can make such a difference.

Daisy was one of the lucky ones. She made it home. ❤️

But every year, we see dogs and cats who aren't so fortunate.

That's why we're sharing Daisy's story, not to scare or blame anyone, but to remind pet owners that tick paralysis is something we need to take seriously.

Because when it comes to tick paralysis, prevention really can save lives.
