Boston had an absolute blast during their first visit with us! The staff were so smitten, Boston quickly became patient of the week in no time! ๐คญ๐๐
Bull terrier play dates! ๐คญ๐คญ We love it when our patients get to have a little social time with each other- Vallie and Lady hit it off while waiting for their appointments to start ๐ซถ
Today weโre celebrating the incredible nurses who make our clinic what it is. ๐ซถ
Our nursing team is made up of a pretty special bunch, each with their own quirks, passions and strengths, and all sharing the same love for our patients, their owners and the work we do. From supporting our vets and running consults, to comforting nervous pets, keeping things organised and somehow managing the chaos that comes with veterinary lifeโฆ our nurses truly do it all. ๐ฉบ๐พ
We thought weโd let you get to know the wonderful people behind the scrubs a little betterโฆ
๐ถ Brittany is our resident German Shepherd enthusiast, fluent in dog and always ready with a treat (or several).
๐ Alannah, our newest and youngest nurse, is a quick learner who throws herself into everything with so much enthusiasm.
๐พ Mariam has a natural way with both people and pets, is always ready to lend a hand and absolutely loves a good restraint challenge.
๐ฑ Jasmine is the one keeping our orders and stock under control, and is always the first to put her hand up when a kitten needs a foster mum!
๐ฆ Liz has a huge heart for wildlife and an amazing way with people, making everyone who walks through our doors feel welcome.
๐ถ Courtney is our resident friendly face, devoted Bull Terrier lover and, quite possibly, the only person who gets genuinely excited about cleaning ears. ๐
โจ And Tash? Our practice manager, nurse, jack of all trades and official organiser of chaos. Somehow keeping the whole place moving while jumping in wherever sheโs needed!
Weโre incredibly lucky to have this amazing group of nurses supporting our vets, caring for our patients and looking after our community every single day. ๐
Thank you for all the compassion, knowledge, patience, laughs, late nights, messy moments and everything in between. Veterinary nursing is so much more than a job, and weโre so grateful for everything you bring to our team. ๐ฅฐ
Happy Veterinary Nurse Day to our wonderful nurses! We couldnโt do it without you. ๐ซถ๐พ
๐ฆ๐ A little reminder about our feathered friends
We know how hard it can be to come across a sick, injured or vulnerable bird. Your first instinct may be to help โ and we completely understand. โค๏ธ
With bird flu cases increasing, weโre taking some extra precautions to protect our patients, our team and our wider community. For the time being, weโre unable to take in stray birds or avian wildlife at our clinic.
If you find a bird that needs help, please contact Wildlife Victoria before handling it. They can provide guidance on the safest way to help and what to do next.
If you are advised to handle the bird: ๐งค Please handle it with care and minimise contact. ๐งผ Practise good hygiene and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. ๐พ Keep the bird safely away from pets and other animals.
If youโre unsure what to do, give our clinic a call. Weโre always happy to help point you in the right direction. ๐
Please swipe โก๏ธ for more information on what to do if you come across a sick bird and how to report!
Thank you for helping us look after our community, our patients and our precious wildlife. ๐ฆ๐ฟ
