I'm so excited to have come along to my first International Veterinary Acupuncture Society Congress!!! It was opened by keynote speaker Dr Allen Schoen who was here in Australia when the first acupuncture course was launched here and is here now for the first IVAS Congress on Australian soil. Lucky me it is held in Cairns this year. I've met some of the world's leading veterinary acupuncturists and had the pleasure of chatting with colleagues from all over Australia as well as the USA, Japan, Germany, The Netherlands, UK and New Zealand. I'm looking forward to refreshing my skills and bringing home some of the latest acupuncture treatments for my patients How's your Wednesday looking? #vet #vetlife #veterinarian #veterinaryacupuncture #petacupuncture #vetacupuncture #ivas #ivascongress #ivascongress2017 #avag #aussievets #vetsofaustralia #vetsofsydney #vetsontour #cairns #fnq #tropicalnorthqueensland #conference #work #humpday

Friday night vibes - snoozing 8 week old Savannah is looking for her forever home through @greatwesternanimalhospital. Her adoption fee includes her first vaccination, microchip, desexing and her first bag of food.

#throwbackthursday to a Frenchie with stenotic nares. Stenotic nares are just one of the common ailments that brachycephalic breeds suffer. It is not uncommon that we correct stenotic nares at the time of desexing. This is to improve their ability to breathe. What would be better than corrective surgery would be breeding and selecting for dogs that do not have stenotic nares to start with. By correcting the nares it's not going to address the other brachycephalic airway issues such as elongated soft palates, hypoplastic tracheas and everted laryngeal saccules. . . . . . . . . . . . #bvtop50 #newbondivet #vetlife #veterinarian #veterinary #vetcollege #veterinarymedicine #vetmed #dvm #veterinaryhospital #veterinaryclinic #prevet #vetstudent #vetschool #futurevet #instavet #vetmedworld #vetassistant #animalscience #vetsofsydney #veterinaryscience #vetsofaustralia #sydneyvets #vetlyf #stenoticnares #frenchielife

So I'm #notbondivet but I am @drbelindathevet and I am humbled by everyone who supported my run at becoming the next @bondi_vet. My ego is unbearable after all of your kind words and my heart has been filled with joy in receiving all of your lovely messages. I would love to see a female vet get the lead role. Us girls are dominating graduate numbers wouldn't it be nice if art could imitate real life. I have everything crossed for Drs @dralexhynes and Danni that they will be able to utilise Bondi Vet to be amazing role models for the next generation of vets. . . . . . . . . . . #vet ##veterinario #veterinaria #veterinarian #veterinary #vetcollege #veterinarymedicine #medvet #vetmed #dvm #veterinaryhospital #veterinaryclinic #vetschool #futurevet #instavet #medvetlife #vetmedworld #vetassistant #animalscience #vetsofsydney #veterinaryscience #vetsofaustralia #sydneyvets #vetlyf #vetsdoglife #vetsdog #spoodle #spooodlesofsydney #spoodlesofinstagram
