I really don’t know what I did to deserve so many complicated bleeding cases over the past two weeks. I was starting to think that our in-house blood machine was not working because every case I handled seemed to be suffering from anaemia (low red blood cell count). I had to collect blood from a […]

So spring has finally sprung and we have been enjoying very beautiful sunny weather. I absolutely love the warmer and hot weather but this season keeps us vets much too busy to enjoy sun bathing. Last week, snake bite season begun. It is a bit early but we definitely encountered a few snake bites and a […]

Just as we closed the doors to the clinic and finished up our Saturday morning consults, the afterhours emergency phone rang and I had to go treat a horse with a huge flesh wound. It was the sweetest horse and he cooperated so well with the whole process. As I was ready to leave the property, the farmers […]

I would first like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read my article entitled ‘The anti-pitbull breedist legislation’. I extend my sincere gratitude for all the contributions made via sharing your comments and taking the time to fill in the poll. I asked three questions and as promised, the results of […]

Firstly, I would like to pay my deepest condolences to the Victorian family that witnessed their toddler attacked and killed by their neighbor’s pit bull. I totally empathize with the mourning of this Victorian family and definitely support stricter laws being enforced by the government.

I was baffled with the question because it does happen a lot but I can’t prove it to be an expected outcome. We also […]

This week I have been blessed with what I call a good cat run. I have had heaps of my geriatric cats come in for checkups or follow-up examinations. While I am usually psyched about seeing my feline friends, they do not share the same sentiment. They arrive feeling flustered, humiliated and worst of all […]

So I had a pretty cruisy start to the week. Only had one dog castration in the morning and had enought time to make all my follow-up calls including checkups, discussing lab results and etc. In the afternoon, I was booked up with consults and it went smoothly but I confess I did run a bit late… […]

This week has been a very interesting one. It was pretty hectic the first half but then it slowed down on thursday and friday. I think it got quiet because of the horrid rainy and windy weather. Lots of our clients either cancelled their appointments or simply rescheduled. It has also been a week full […]

Hello everybody. It sure has been a while. I have been suffering from blogging syndrome withdrawals. As you would have noticed, my blog site was being updated and I sure hope you like the new changes. I have also simultaneously been hammered at work. What is important is that I am back now and I […]
