Pets of the Month
Maggie the Silly cat
Maggie was run over for the second time by her owner in the driveway of their home recently. Many years ago the same thing had occurred and left her with a fractured femur. This time she broke her shin bone. More concerning however was that Maggie was also losing blood. It appears that she had damaged one of her kidneys during the accident. By the time Maggie reached Nepean Animal Hospital she was critically ill and needed an urgent blood transfusion. After a fortnight of care maggie was ready for surgery on her broken leg. A plate and screws were placed and a bone graft inserted at the fracture site. Maggie has now made a full recovery and is no longer allowed to sleep under the car in the driveway.

DuoDuo breaks his leg too!
1 year DuoDuo came home at 2am from a late night adventure badly lame on his left foreleg. After taking x-rays we realised that DD had broken his leg. Out came the orthopeadic equipment again on a slightly larger scale this time and DD is now looking for his next adventure.



Amberlynn the precious Pug who opted for an elective ceasarian
After complications during Amberlynn's previous pregnancy, we decided that the safest option was to perform an elective ceasarian. Everything went according to plan, using the safest anaesthetic techniques available and ensuring that the surgery was performed in a timely fashion, meant that all three of Amberlynn's pups were born healthy and went home with mum the same day.
