🌿 Wildlife Thursday at Singleton Veterinary Hospital 🌿
This little joey came into our care under heartbreaking circumstances after her mum sadly passed away in an accident. 💔🐾
During her exam and diagnostics, we discovered she had a broken arm. With a gentle bandage, lots of cuddles, and a whole team cheering her on, she was stabilised and made comfortable. 💚
She’s now off to a dedicated wildlife carer for rehabilitation, where she’ll continue healing and growing strong. 🦘✨
We’re so grateful to everyone in the community who looks out for our wildlife - every call makes a difference. 💛

Sweet Sage the Maremma gave us quite the scare after deciding a rock looked like a tasty snack 🪨🐶
Her quick thinking humans brought her in when they noticed something wasn’t quite right - and it’s a good thing they did! Swallowed objects like rocks can cause serious issues, including intestinal blockages, inappetence, vomiting, pain, and lethargy. Left untreated, they can be life-threatening.
Radiographs confirmed the rock, and we moved straight to surgery to safely remove it. Thanks to prompt care and her resilient spirit, Sage was back home bright-eyed and wagging her tail the very next day 💚

🎉 From Kennel Hand to Qualified Vet Nurse! 🩺🐾
We’re so proud to celebrate an incredible milestone for one of our own - Kristy! 💚
Kristy first joined the Singleton Vet Hospital team in September 2022 as a kennel hand, bringing with her a genuine love for animals and a strong desire to learn everything she could about veterinary care. From day one, her dedication, compassion, and willingness to jump in and help wherever needed made her an invaluable part of our team.
In January 2024, Kristy took the next big step in her career and began studying her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing. Over the next 18 months, she balanced online study with hands-on experience in the hospital - mastering new skills, caring for patients, and proving her commitment to every furry (and not-so-furry!) friend who came through our doors.
Two weeks ago, Kristy officially completed her Certificate IV, and we couldn’t be prouder! 🎓💚 Her journey from kennel hand to qualified veterinary nurse is a testament to her passion, perseverance, and love for animals.
Please join us in congratulating Kristy on this amazing achievement - we can’t wait to see all the wonderful things she’ll continue to do as part of our team! 🐶🐱✨

🐄 Pregnancy Testing in Cattle – How We Estimate Fetal Age 🐄

🎥 Video in comments! 🎥

When we ultrasound cows, we’re not just looking for a heartbeat to confirm pregnancy – we can also estimate how far along the pregnancy is.

Early on, we measure things like:
• Crown–rump length (length of the fetus)
• Head size
• Eye diameter

As the calf grows, we use other features such as:
• Cotyledon (placentome) size
• Fetal movements
• General body proportions

In the video below, you can see a 5-month-old fetus on ultrasound. With a little nudge from the probe, it even kicks back – a nice sign of a healthy, active calf developing inside the uterus. 🥰👣

Pregnancy testing helps us:
✅ Confirm pregnancies early
✅ Identify empty cows
✅ Estimate calving dates for better herd management

Today we’re celebrating the heartbeat of every clinic - our incredible vet nurses and receptionists! 💚🐾
Your compassion, skill, and dedication make all the difference for our patients (and their humans). Thank you for the love, care and calm you bring every single day. We see you, we appreciate you!
