 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.

Psssst…we have a secret 🤫

There’s catnip inside this toy!

What exactly ...is ‘catnip’ and what does it do to cats? Catnip is a perennial herb of the mint family 🌿 It contains a compound called ‘nepetalactone’, which triggers a euphoric response in many cats when they smell it. Cats usually react to catnip by meowing, flipping, rolling, and rubbing (as demonstrated by the lovely Fosbury in this video 🐱). It is a perfectly safe way to engage in playtime and even relaxation with your feline friend!

Does your kitty 💚 catnip?

If your pet appears to be in pain, please make an appointment with one of our friendly vets. ...They've worked hard on their cat/dog speak and will be able to get to the heart of the problem.

Halloween treats are especially yummy,
But for some it can give them a very sore tummy 🐶
... If your doggy eats choccy you’ll get a big scare,
The darker the chocolate, the worse they will fare 🍫
If you find a chocolate wrapper and it’s empty inside,
Take it to a clinic with your dog by your side 🏥
Keep an eye out for hints of chocolate toxicity,
The vomiting and diarrhoea won’t be too pretty! 🤢
Panting or restlessness are also a sign,
Look at their gum colour and take note of the time ⏰
The faster you act, the better it will be,
Whether your pups eaten one treat or three 🍬
If you’re ever unsure always check with your vet,
They have special skills to help out your pet 🧑‍⚕️

Send this to someone who needs cat kisses today 😽😽😽
