											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.
You can rely on us as your experts in pet care.

 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.   💛
