As all our cat owners know, cats are not small dogs and they have very specific needs. This is why we have worked hard to achieve the ISFM Silver Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation.
It is well and truly spring now here in Woodend which means it is fledgling season! This is a great time to remind yourself of what to do if you’re worried about a bird in your garden or by the side of the road.
Last month we had some very unusual guests in the waiting room... A ringtail possum, a blue-tongued lizard, a lace monitor, a turtle, an olive python, a tawny frogmouth and even a four-year-old saltwater crocodile!
This month we would like to introduce you to our Practice Manager, Sarah Millis. She has been running the place since the start of 2018, so you've probably seen her and her two dogs Hurley and Leroy around the clinic!
This month we would like to introduce our new Head Vet, Dr Jocelyn Hoogstraten. Dr Joss has been a vet for seven years and loves working with small animals, horses and cows.
In our work with the Macedon Ranges Shire Council as their feline pound, we often see cats reunited with their owners after several days or even months missing.
As many of you may know we have operated the shire cat pound for some time. This means that all the local stray cats are brought to us and usually make their way through our shelter program if an owner cannot be found.
In the last ten years, Woodend Veterinary Centre has moved premises, changed names and changed owners. One of the few things that has remained constant is our nurse Rhea Maloney.
