Here we have the lovely Finn and his questionable snack choices (dish cloths!?)
Only one was witnessed, but Finn the Magician brought up two!
If your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, be sure to get them to the vet quick smart 😌
Finn finished his consult with a smile and wagging tail, not dissimilar to when he arrived 🥰

Meet Baxter

Is he just chocolate box??? ❤️

His mum was worried about some lumps above his lids causing him some problems.

When our vets deal with lumps they take sample with a small needle first. This is to look at the cells that are in the lump. We then know what type of lump we have to decide about removing.

Baxter had a heart murmur so it was important to ensure we managed a heart protective anaesthesia.

Our vet Donna removed these lumps by performing a sliding wedge resection. This brings the skin neatly together, almost a bit of plastic surgery. We love Donna.

If you are worried about a lump on your pet let us know so we can check it out. Older pets are prone to lots of different types of lumps.

Thank to his mummy for entrusting us with his care.
But we will just soak up this gorgeous face for now!!

Not my usual posts but unfortunately this is necessary in our rural communities.

As we know Bird Flu has entered New Zealand. So this means you and the team in clinic need to take precautions to prevent spread.

Please read the post from Birdcare.

If you find a sick wild bird please follow the recommendations below. We ask that you DONT BRING WILD BIRDS TO THE CLINIC. Please call first.

For you pet birds please call the clinic and we will triage you over the phone.

Strict isolation and PPE will be followed by staff.

Thank you for your patience. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help or concerned.

We are very aware that AG chicks are now in the community please keep these away from your current flocks and wild birds.

A case of HPAI H5N1 (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza) has now been confirmed in New Zealand.

We know this news may be concerning for many of our supporters, rescuers and volunteers. BirdCare Aotearoa has been working alongside the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) as part of New Zealand’s ongoing HPAI surveillance programme. Birds admitted to our hospital have been routinely tested where appropriate, with all results to date returning negative.

💚 We understand that members of the public will continue to find sick and injured birds and look to BirdCare for help. Our hospital remains open, and we remain committed to providing care for all birds brought to our door.

We ask for your patience while we introduce additional biosecurity measures and new admission procedures that will allow us to continue providing care safely while protecting the birds already in our hospital, our staff, volunteers, and the wider wildlife community.

⚠️ Before attempting to rescue a sick or injured bird, please take a moment to look for signs that may be associated with HPAI.

Signs that may require additional caution include:

🔹Sudden death with no obvious cause or injury
🔹A bird that is unable or unwilling to stand, walk or fly
🔹Coughing, panting, or nasal discharge
🔹Drooping head or wings
🔹Loss of balance, stumbling, circling or unusual behaviour
🔹Neck twisting, writhing or other neurological signs
🔹Severe lethargy or a bird that appears unusually unresponsive

If you encounter a bird in coastal areas showing these signs, even if it is just one bird, please contact the MPI Exotic Pest and Disease Hotline on 0800 809 966. MPI will assess the situation and advise on the safest next steps.

🧼 If you have handled a wild bird, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. If you regularly rescue or handle wildlife, wear disposable gloves where possible and clean your footwear and clothing after contact.

For more information about HPAI, including reporting guidance and ways you can help prevent the spread of disease, scan the QR code in the image above.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we adapt to this evolving situation 💙🐦
