Burwood Vet

Dental Wisdom. Every Pet deserves a pain-free infection free mouth. In one dental procedure our veterinary dentists will generally be able to clean up and improve the oral cavity.
Today Ruby, a 9 year old cavoodle was lucky enough to have his owners bring him for a dental procedure under general anaesthetic after probing each tooth the vet- dentist Dr Phil removed about 10 teeth. The tooth sockets were stitched closed and Ruby was given an antibiotic injection and some pain relief
Ruby goes home the same day and will be a new pet in about three or four days time; after removal of so much pain and infection from the oral cavity.

See the Youtube/ for real live dog dentals, and what the veterinary dentists in Burwood Vet do.

Ruby is a really cute pet? Do you agree? We, at Burwood Vet Dental loved having this gentle trusting pet, and being able to improve her quality of life!

The battle of the chair has begun... We're taking bets on the winner. 🤣

Today Cindy is modelling a woolen jumper... What is everyone else doing to keep their pets warm in this particularly icy weather?

Sooooo skinny!!! The clinic is currently helping a rescue cat. Cindy was brought to the clinic as a stray. We were able to locate her owner thanks to her microchip. Cindy is 15 years old and has been out lost on the streets for the last 4 years, but her owner doesn't want her anymore so one of our staff has adopted her. Cindy is little more than a skeleton and has quite a list of things wrong with her. She has already had surgery for several mouth lesions. She is still waiting for more test results. Due to the significant matting of her long fur, we had to shave her. She had a bath today (she's not a fan of baths). She has traded in her thundershirt and is currently staying warm in her alien onesie. She has quite a wardrobe and is charming everyone she meets.

Rosie is about to have her CT scan at Burwood Vet... She's had some pain and been reluctant to move this week. Her Xray reaults have shown some spinal issues, so Rosie needs a CT scan in order to determine the extent of her condition and help the vets shape the best plan of action for her going forward. As you can see, Rosie is quite relaxed and seems to be enjoying the fuss. Here's hoping she has a speedy recovery.

Sometimes you just have to stand back and admire the patience of our patients. Lila was incredibly sweet while having a blood test today! A routine blood test is a good way to check for any illness or condition that your pet might be hiding!

"You will feed ME first!!!!"
How many of you can relate to this?

It's dog anxiety awareness week!

It's Dog Anxiety Awareness Week! Let's wag away those worries with three tail-wagging tips:

1️⃣ Spot the Signs 🕵️‍♂️
Keep your eyes peeled for unusual behaviours or eating habits - they could be barking up the anxiety tree! Catching these signs early can help make your pup's world a less ruff place.

2️⃣ Routine to the Rescue 📅
A predictable day keeps the jitters away! Setting a daily schedule helps your dog know what's coming, making every day a walk in the park.

3️⃣ Therapy Tails 💬
If your pup's fears aren't just a phase, it might be time to call in the paw-fessionals. A dog therapist can work wonders, turning scaredy-dogs into confident canines.

Let's make this week a stepping stone to happier, more relaxed pups. 🐶

Happy Vet Nurse Day! We're very lucky to have such a diverse team at Burwood Vet. Today is a day when we celebrate our nurses and all of their hard work. Our nurses are tireless and all bring different skills to the clinic Burwood Vet wouldn't be the same without them.

Who has a cat enclosure??? Do you cats like it? What type have you gone for? Check out this article for some ideas.

Cat Enclosures – What You Should Know - Burwood Vet Cats love being outside. The mental stimulation from exploring is priceless and the ability to exercise and keep a pet's weight down is invaluable. Exposure to sunlight is essential for vitamin D production. However, the toll that cats take on our native wildlife from hunting is devastating and that...

The clinic will be closed tomorrow and Monday for the Kings birthday holiday.

We reopen Tuesday 9am.

Easter Hours 🐰

Our Illustrious leader has gone on holiday early and left us unsupervised and so he has no control over our picture editing. We're slacking off in his absence and closing from April 7th - April 10th. He's back on the 11th of April, so we will be too :)

We hope you all have a happy and safe Easter break. In the event you need a vet in our absence, the nearest 24hr clinic is AEC Mt Waverley who can be contacted on 98038122.

Due to an internet outage our online booking platform is down and we are reduced to one active phone line. Please be patient with us when trying to contact us today

This rambunctious little ball of fluff has recently been adopted by one of our Veterinarians! Can you guess what we named him? 🐱
