 Laparoscopic spey surgery

We understand the importance of utilising advancements in the veterinary medicine field, which is why we specialise in Laparoscopic spey surgery.

Dr Jason Rapke has performed hundreds of Laparoscopic Spey desexing procedures and is one of Victoria’s most experienced surgeons in this field. The Lap Spey is performed using laparoscopic equipment, which drastically reduces the size of the incision needed for a spey procedure. This results in much less post-operative pain, faster recovery and less wound complications.

Little Ruby was the perfect patient who managed to melt the hearts of every nurse and vet in the building. 💗✨

✨ Meet beautiful Dusty! ✨
He came in to see Dr Jason for a TPLO surgery (Tibial Plateau ...Leveling Osteotomy) 🦴

🐾 So what does that mean?
Dogs can sometimes tear an important ligament in their knee called the cruciate ligament (a bit like a sports injury in humans). When this happens, it makes walking painful and the knee wobbly.

A TPLO helps fix that by changing the angle of the shin bone so the knee becomes stable again — no more slipping or sliding when they walk or run! Think of it as giving the joint a clever new design so they can move comfortably again.

💪 Dusty’s surgery went beautifully and he was already up on his paws just a few hours later! What an absolute superstar. 🌟

We’re so proud of him and the amazing surgical and nursing team who helped him through the day. Here’s to Dusty’s smooth recovery and many more happy zoomies ahead! 🐶💛

Maple popped in for her laparoscopic spay and left looking runway-ready with her new up-do! Who ...says surgery days can’t be glamorous 💁‍♀️🐾

Today we celebrate our incredible team of vet nurses! 🩺💚

Thank you for showing up ...every day with so much compassion for every patient, and for the endless dedication you bring to the clinic. From scrubbing into surgeries, monitoring anaesthetics, taking X-rays and bloods, to doing dentals, nursing hospital patients, and keeping everything running smoothly.
You truly do it all.

You go above and beyond every single day, making sure our patients are cared for, our vets are supported, and our coffee cups are never empty.

We’re so lucky to have such a skilled, caring, and hardworking team.

Happy Vet Nurse Day! 🐾🌸

Today we say farewell to our amazing nurse Mon as she heads off into the next chapter of her ...veterinary nursing career. 🩺💛

For the past 3 years, Mon has been an absolute joy and privilege to work with. Watching her grow as a nurse, mentor our junior team members, and bring her sunshine energy into every shift has been nothing short of inspiring. 🌞

She’s cared for patients with so much love, supported her teammates with kindness, and filled the clinic with laughter.

We’re all so sad to see her go, but so excited to see what’s ahead, because any clinic that gains her is incredibly lucky. 🐾✨

Thank you for everything you’ve done, Mon.
Your hard work, compassion, and positive spirit have left a lasting mark on all of us.
We wish you nothing but the best as you take on your next adventure. 💛

You asked for more cattery content and we’re here to deliver 😻

Welcome to the VIK ...lounge (Very Important Kitties) 🐾✨
It’s their world… we just live in it. 🌎

Each guest enjoys their own private suite (complete with secret tunnels for those bunking with their household bestie).
Their daily itinerary? Playing with the nurses, sampling just one more treat 🧁 , lounging on the cat trees, and when the zoomies hit — putting our kitty treadmill to the test. 👟

The cattery is truly a highlight of our day… and with endless cuddles on tap, the cats seem to agree 💕
