Maleny Veterinary Services

It's a girl ♀️ Dr Lauren and Nurse Sophie had the udder pleasure of assisting this brand new mummy delivery her first baby today. What a stunning day to enter the world... welcome little cutie 🐮😍

In our special part of the world, we are lucky enough to share our waterways with beautiful, wild platypuses. We recently had a visitor representing the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland, who shared some awesome information on what to do if you happen to spot a platypus in trouble. Use the steps they've outlined as a guide, but please remember to call the RSPCA on 1300 ANIMAL before you even approach an animal in distress - your safety must come first and the experts are in the best position to instruct you on what to do.

🟢 Maleny Vets will be OPEN during our usual business hours 8:30am to 5:30pm every day this long weekend, including on Friday's public holiday. As long-term proud sponsors of the Maleny Show, we hope everyone gets a chance to pop down to the showgrounds to celebrate our local community and just have a great time! 🐎🎡🌭

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗗𝗿 𝗞𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻, for her recognition at the Glassie Awards this week. She wasn't able to attend the event on the night, but WE'RE SUPER PROUD OF HER every day!!! 👏🥉

🐶 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸! Feedback from the range of Prime100 fresh dog food rolls we have available in the clinic has been really positive, so we’re introducing some 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗩𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦! We now stock:

• Chicken and brown rice
• Lamb and rosemary
• Salmon and tapioca
• Duck and sweet potato
• Kangaroo and pumpkin
• Crocodile and tapioca (when available)

We can also 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗥:
• Turkey and flaxseed
• Wild boar and pumpkin
• Kangaroo and potato
• Pea and algae oil (VEGAN)

Each off the different rolls are made from a single source of protein, formulated with other nutrient-dense fresh ingredients to balance key vitamins, minerals, essential amnio & fatty acids. Not only will your pooch find them delicious and nutritious, but in some cases Single Protein Diets can also benefit pets who have digestion, dermatological or cognitive issues and food sensitivities. If you’d like to learn more about how a Single Protein Diet may support your doggo’s health, please book a time to come in and discuss your concerns and questions with one of our vets.

PS. Thank you to these three chuckling chooks for doing such a stellar job of modelling the range 😂😂

𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗙𝗙 𝗢𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘 🛑 It truly saddens us to have to write this post. Unkind, disrespectful and downright abusive comments made towards our staff have considerably increased in the last little while, and we are putting our hands up to say we will not accept it. We understand current times are tough, money is tight and emotions can run high in stressful situations, however we will not allow our staff to be subjected to mistreatment by the very people whom they show up every day to support. We 𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 price gouge, we 𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 set out to delay, we 𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 take advantage of clients in any way, and any accusation as such 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗡𝗢𝗧 be tolerated when hurled in anger at a member of our staff. If you have questions, you can 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆 raise them. If you cannot do this, we will return your animal for you to seek treatment elsewhere and you will not be welcomed back. On average, a vet dies by su***de every 12 weeks and Maleny Vet Services will not condone an environment that feeds this cycle. To our many, many (vast majority in fact) respectful clients, this post does not speak to you - you are appreciated beyond measure 🙏🙏🙏 Kindness is contagious.

Dr Mitch, Dr Lauren and Nurse Deb got to go on the cutest farm visit this morning to see a Miniature Galloway and her sweet baby. There is just soooo much cuteness going on here 😍🐮

Maleny Vet Services is a proud sponsor of Story Dogs, an organisation that enlists volunteers and sweet-natured pooches to create safe, fun, supportive, non-judgemental environments for primary school aged children who need assistance with literacy. Our sponsored team of Rosemary and Nellie popped in for a visit today, and provided the team with an update about their days spent working with kids at Montville State School - such a dynamic duo and fabulous initiative! 📖🐶

Congratulations Nurse Emma for completing your Certificate IV Vet Nursing. We're sooo lucky to have you 🎉🙌

𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲?! 🏥🐶 Blood is essential to life, and there may come a time when your beloved pet requires a life-saving blood transfusion. For this reason, animal blood donors like the beautiful Beau (pictured 💕) are in high demand - just like humans!

At Maleny Vet Services, our team can usually volunteer our own pets as donors for animals requiring critical care. However there are occasions where we exhaust all our regular donors due to a high number of patients requiring transfusions in a short time frame. For these instances, we would love to establish a Dog Blood Donor Register!

🐾 𝗜𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝗴𝗼 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿?
To be a blood donor your dog needs to be healthy, fully-vaccinated, weigh more than 25kgs and be between 1-7 years of age. Before any pet donates, we run a health screen with a complete blood panel. The blood is tested for compatibility and the donor is sedated for the collection process which only take a few minutes 💉After the bag is filled, the hero is bandaged up, given intravenous fluids, a snack (and lots of cuddles!) and sent home that same day.

If you think your pet may be eligible to become a Blood Donor Hero on our register, please email [email protected] with your contact information and your pet's details, and we'll get back to you. Thank you 🙏🙏

We're very sorry that the clinic will be closed today due to an all-day power outage. On-call emergency care will remain available overnight for existing large animal clients, and we'll be back on deck tomorrow 📢⚡
