🚨 GDV in Dogs – A True Emergency 🚨

Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV), commonly known as “bloat,” is a life-threatening emergency where a dog’s stomach fills with gas and twists on itself. When this happens, blood supply is cut off and shock can develop rapidly - minutes truly matter.

Recently, sweet Lady, a Saint Bernard, came to us after hours showing classic signs: a distended abdomen, restlessness, and clear discomfort. Giant breeds like Saint Bernards are especially at risk for GDV, and her family did exactly the right thing by acting fast when they noticed something wasn’t right.

Lady was taken straight to surgery, where Dr. Ruan quickly intervened to untwist her stomach and secure it in place - a procedure called a gastropexy, which helps prevent recurrence. 💉🐾

Thanks to Dr. Ruan’s swift action and the dedication of our after-hours team, Lady received the life-saving care she needed without delay.
We’re so happy to share that Lady recovered beautifully and is now back home with her family - tail wagging and feeling like herself again. ❤️

Early recognition and immediate veterinary care save lives in cases of GDV. If your dog shows any of the following signs:�• Swollen or tight abdomen�• Retching without producing vomit�• Restlessness or pacing�• Excessive drooling�• Weakness or collapse
Seek emergency veterinary care immediately.

Way to go, Lady - and shoutout to Dr. Ruan and our incredible team! 💪✨

🚨 Three Day Sickness Confirmed in the Hunter Valley 🚨
Livestock producers in the Hunter Valley are advised that a confirmed case of Three Day Sickness (Bovine Ephemeral Fever) has been reported in the Singleton area.

Three Day Sickness is a viral disease spread by biting insects such as mosquitoes and midges, particularly following warm, wet weather. While most cattle recover within a few days, the disease can cause:
• Sudden high fever�• Stiffness and lameness�• Drooling and nasal discharge�• Reduced milk production�• Temporary recumbency (going down)
Although the mortality rate is generally low, affected animals can experience significant production losses and require supportive care.

🔎 What producers should do:�✔️ Monitor cattle closely for symptoms�✔️ Minimise stress and handle affected stock gently�✔️ Provide easy access to water and feed�✔️ Consult your local veterinarian if you suspect cases

With current seasonal conditions favouring insect activity, vigilance is key. Early identification and supportive management can make all the difference.

If you’re in the Hunter Valley and noticing signs in your herd, reach out to us for advice.

🚨ATTENTION FARMERS – 3-DAY SICKNESS ALERT!🚨

Three-day sickness (Ephemeral Fever) season is approaching, with peak cases usually seen around January.
🐄 Don’t wait until it’s too late - now is the time to vaccinate your herd!
✅ Who should be vaccinated?
All cattle are at risk – it’s best to vaccinate the whole herd.
Especially important for:
• Valuable breeding bulls
• High-producing dairy cows
• Young stock and replacement heifers
💉 Vaccination is the most effective way to protect your animals and avoid production losses. This disease can strike suddenly - recovery takes time and severe cases can be fatal.

🐾 The Power of Canine Blood Donors - Today, Three Little Lives Were Saved 🩸✨

Today we were reminded just how vital canine blood donors are in veterinary medicine.

We admitted three tiny Border Collie puppies, each weighing around 700g, who urgently needed life-saving blood transfusions. Their haematocrit levels (the percentage of red blood cells in their total blood volume) were shockingly low—just 7% to 12%, when the normal range for dogs is 35% to 55%.

To put that into perspective:
another couple of hours and these pups would not have survived 💔

And yet, all they needed was 30ml of blood, swift action and some TLC.
It sounds like nothing… until you don’t have it.
That small amount was the difference between life and death.

Thankfully, we have some absolute superhero canine blood donors who rushed to the rescue. Because of them, all three pups received transfusions in time, and their donations will help future patients in need too.

Saving these pups took an entire team:
❤️ the rescuers who acted fast
❤️ the veterinary team who stabilised and treated them
❤️ and the future owners waiting to love them

This is why blood donors in dogs are truly lifesavers 🌟

Did you know:
A single 500ml canine blood donation bag can save one large dog… or up to 16 tiny little bodies like these pups.

🏆We offer one free vaccine for every donor dog as a small token of our appreciation and gratitude🫶

If you have a healthy dog and would like to help, please consider calling us and applying to be one of our blood donors.

🐶💉 Canine blood donors: saving lives one drop at a time.
Thank you to our heroes, Augie and Huckleberry Finn🩸✨
