Recently we celebrated our Vet Mike, who joined us five years ago after making the huge move from Ireland to Australia and what an impact heโ€™s had!
Mike is a favourite with clients, patients, and the entire KVH team. His kindness, calm presence, and willingness to jump in wherever heโ€™s needed makes him a valuable team player. And of courseโ€ฆ we canโ€™t forget the Irish banter that keeps us smiling even on the busiest days.
Thank you Mike for your dedication, your humour, and the heart you bring to our hospital every single day. โ˜˜๏ธ

As temperatures rise again today in Victoria, our pets are at serious risk of heat stroke - especially brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs, Frenchie's, Boxers, and Persians.
These breeds struggle to cool themselves efficiently and can overheat very quickly, even on what feels like a โ€œnormalโ€ warm day.

๐Ÿพ Hot ground = hidden danger
When the air temperature is around 30ยฐC, bitumen and asphalt can reach 50โ€“60ยฐC!
Thatโ€™s hot enough to burn paw pads in seconds - and remember, theyโ€™re not wearing any protection on their paws.

โš ๏ธ Signs of heat stress include:
- Excessive panting or drooling
- Lethargy or weakness
- Bright red or pale gums
- Vomiting or collapse

๐Ÿ’ง How to keep your pet safe:
- Walk early morning or late evening (a rest day is ok too)
- Check the ground with your hand - if itโ€™s too hot for you, itโ€™s too hot for them
- Provide constant access to shade and fresh water
- Never leave pets in cars - even briefly
- Make sure gates and fences are secure with the risks of sever winds

If youโ€™re ever worried your pet may be overheating, seek veterinary care immediately - heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency. Stay cool, stay safe.

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ These adorable French Bulldog siblings came in for their desexing surgery together - and handled it like pros.

๐Ÿ’Š Being brachycephalic breeds, Frenchies like Boomer & Franky need extra care under anaesthetic and during recovery. They receive premedication for 3 days prior to surgery to prevent gastroesophageal reflux and oesophagitis and our veterinary team takes special precautions on the day to keep them safe and comfortable with minimal stress throughout their procedure.

โค๏ธ There was snuggles, teamwork and a whole lot of amour!
