Sonny's Staff Spotlight! With Nurse Nicole

Nicole C (our newest Nicole) has just completed her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing! She has been working with us for the last 6 months after initially volunteering with us while studying.

Outside of work, Nicole enjoys catching up with friends and family, knitting and listening to loud music, most of which are compatible with her favourite activity, spending time with her furry family members.

Nicole made a career change just over a year ago because she decided that she wanted to work in a field where she felt like she was doing something good. This combined with her love for animals led her to veterinary nursing and she hasn't looked back! Her favourite part of being a vet nurse is hand raising kittens for our cat adoption program and watching them go to their forever homes.

Nicole is both a cat and a dog person, she says there are no favourites among her children ;) Her furbabies are Isa - 7 year old Jack Russell x Poodle, Cookie - 4 year old German Shorthaired Pointer, Magnus & Indie - 1 year old Domestic Short Hairs, Titan - 9 month old Domestic Short Hair (her first foster kitten who never left) and the most recent addition, Tora - a 2 year old temperamental Bengal.

Stay tuned for more Staff Spotlights in the coming months, so you can get to know all my wonderful friends at Casula and Elizabeth Drive!

Love and Licks, 

Sonny

Does Your Pet Have Bad Breath?

It is commonly believed that bad breath on your pet is normal, and that it is just part of being a dog or cat. 

 However, this bad breath can actually indicate dental disease.  What begins as tartar and plaque build up, gingivitis, and smelly breath can lead to serious dental issues such as rotten teeth, gum disease and tooth root abscess formation. 

FIV study

Please take a moment to answer these three questions:

 

- Do you have a cat? 

- Is it over 5 years old? 

- Does it have unrestricted outdoor access?

If the answer to these three questions is YES then your kitty might be eligible to be a part of this important study. 

 

We need cats who meet the above criteria, and who have never been vaccinated against FIV, and have never been tested for FIV. They also need to live within the postcode districts of 2170 or 2168. 

 

For being part of the study you'll receive a $30 voucher to be used at either our Casula or Elizabeth Drive clinic. 

  

What is the FIV Study?

This study is a world first, being conducted primarily to confirm the FIV vaccine is working under Australian conditions. With only ten clinics across Australia participating, we are very excited to be able to contribute to this important and valuable study. 

You as an owner will also benefit from this study, by being provided valuable information on the health of you cat, including:

• a full physical examination
• check on the FIV status of your cat
• white blood cell analysis to assess the immune status of you cat. 

What is Involved?

A small amount of blood (2.4ml) and a swab of saliva are all that is required from your cat, should you agree to participate in the study. A trained veterinarian will perform the blood collection, and a local anaesthetic cream will be used to minimise your cat's discomfort. 

If you would like this valuable study please phone Elizabeth Drive Animal Hospital.  

Remember, if your cat has ever been in a fight, there is a risk they could have contracted FIV! 

This is an ongoing study, please forward to any friends who may meet the criteria for this study. 

Welcome Back Dr Libby!

  

Dr Libby has returned from maternity leave, after having her second child. 

Dr Libby has returned to her previous consulting days of all day Monday and Tuesday mornings.
