🎉 20 YEARS! 🎉

Today marks an incredible milestone - BVECCS has been open for 20 years, providing after-hours and emergency care for the fur kids of North Brisbane!

Two decades of late nights, early mornings, weekends and public holidays!!

We are deeply grateful for every patient who has walked (or been carried!) through our doors, and every client who has trusted us with their most precious family members 💛 🐾

We are also incredibly proud of our amazing team, many of whom have been with us since the very beginning. They haven't aged a bit (😂). Honestly, they are simply the best. None of this would have been possible without them 👏👏

Thank you North Brisbane for supporting us. Here's to many more years to come. 🐾

This is Billie. Billie is a Staffy. Billie does not believe in cones. 🚨

After her spey surgery, Billie decided that post-op care was more of a *suggestion* than a requirement... so she took matters into her own paws, ditched the cone and removed her own stitches. Let's just say things got a little too open-plan down there. 😬

Her family were understandably very worried, but our team worked their magic and put everything back where it belongs and stitched her up good as new. Billie went home with a new cone secure enough to survive a Staffy apocalypse!!

The moral of the story: trust the cone, respect the cone. We know your pet hates it. We know you hate it. But it's doing a very important job! 🐾

🍫 Easter is coming… and so are the chocolate emergencies! 🐾

Meet Winston - expert chocolate thief, with absolutely no regrets! He arrived to us at BVECCS with a racing heart, muscle tremors, and a very sore belly after stealing some dark peppermint chocolates 🙁

Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which dogs struggle to metabolise properly. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous, and even a small amount of dark chocolate can cause serious harm.

Signs of toxicity include:
* Vomiting & diarrhoea
* Restlessness
* Rapid heart rate
* Tremors
* Seizures (in severe cases)

If your dog gets into chocolate, call your vet immediately. The safest course of action is to induce vomiting early, don't wait for symptoms to develop. Early treatment = the best outcome.

Winston was admitted to hospital for treatment and made a full recovery, leaving with a little activated charcoal still on his whiskers as a badge of honour. 🖤💛

If you need veterinary assistance over the Easter long weekend, we're open 24/7 and happy to help! 🐾

Remind you of anyone…? 🤔

This is our favourite staff pooch Benji, debuting a bold new comb over today - kindly made possible by a generous hair donation from our handsome patient Nacho 😄

Nacho had to be shaved for a tick search, and Benji was more than happy to step in and give those luscious locks a second life…

🎶 My milkshake brings all the vets to the yard… 🎶

This sweet boy 'Milkshake' came in feeling pretty miserable, and was diagnosed with pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).

Pancreatitis in cats can be quite subtle and tricky to diagnose, with non-specific signs like lethargy, reduced appetite, hiding, vomiting, or just not acting like themselves.

After some fluids, pain relief, and plenty of TLC from our team, Milkshake felt much better and was well on the road to recovery 💙🐾

If your cat is acting a little off, trust your gut - cats are experts at masking when they’re unwell 🐱

We see pets arrive in all sorts of carriers, from pet prams to cardboard boxes, and sports bags. In an emergency, whatever you can grab is always the right choice.

Cassian, however, arrived riding in style in his very own personalised carry bag! How cute is that?? 💛🐾

Meet Oakey, a gorgeous young Kelpie with some seriously impressive ears!!

Oakey came in to see us after developing an upset tummy, which is something we see very commonly in dogs.

"Gastro" can be caused by many things including dietary indiscretion (eating something they shouldn’t), sudden diet changes, infections, parasites, metabolic diseases, and even stress or anxiety. Common signs include vomiting, diarrhoea, reduced appetite, lethargy, and tummy discomfort.

While some mild cases can settle quickly, others may need veterinary treatment to prevent dehydration and help our patients feel better sooner.

If you need any assistance, we are on duty 24/7 throughout the long weekend 😁
