The latest addition to my family, Wrinkles the pug candle from @eye_candle_studio_australia. Animals are a huge part of my life and are spotted in the decorations throughout my house. Wrinkles is hand made and hand painted and freakishly lifelike. In fact I'm keen to operate on his stenotic nares . Thank you to @eye_candle_studio_australia for creating such a beautiful piece of art. Check out their Instagram page for the other breeds they carry - all very much lifelike. . . . . . . . . . . #candle #pug #pugstagram #dogsofsydney #dogsofaustralia #aussiedogs #aussiedogsrule #pugsofaustralia #pugsofsydney #art #handmade #handpainted #candleart #candleaddict #vetlyfe #vet #vetlife #vetsdoglife #vetsdog #vetnurse #vettech #vetnurselife #vettechlife

Do you know what's hiding below the gum line? In this case it was obvious externally that there was a problem with these teeth but this isn't always the case. The only way we can know more information about the health of your pets teeth is a thorough examination under a general anesthetic and radiographs of the teeth. This cat has FORLs - Feline odontoclastic resorption lesions. . . . . . . . . . . . #bvtop50 #newbondivet #veterinarydentistry #vetlife #dentaldisease #veterinarian #veterinary #vetcollege #veterinarymedicine #medvet #vetmed #dvm #veterinaryhospital #veterinaryclinic #prevet #vetstudent #vetschool #medicineveterinaria #futurevet #instavet #medvetlife #vetmedworld #vetassistant #animalscience #vetsofsydney #veterinaryscience #vetsofaustralia #sydneyvets #vetlyf

When Spencer the puppy needed a plasma transfusion nurse Kelly was there to comfort him and monitor him for a reaction to the transfusion. It is vet nurses like Kelly who make a big difference to our patients time in hospital. Vet nurses will cuddle with your pets when you can't. Make sure they are medicated and monitor that their treatment is heading in the right direction. Thanks to all the wonderful vet nurses and vet techs who give their patients unconditional love. . . . . . . . . . #bvtop50 #newbondivet #veterinario #veterinaria #veterinarian #veterinary #vetcollege #veterinarymedicine #medvet #vetmed #dvm #veterinaryhospital #veterinaryclinic #prevet #vetstudent #vetschool #medicineveterinaria #futurevet #instavet #medvetlife #vetmedworld #vetassistant #animalscience #vetsofsydney #veterinaryscience #vetsofaustralia #sydneyvets #vetlyf

A positive Parvovirus test sends a chill through the hospital. We are putting all we have into helping this little pup survive but sadly there are no guarantees. It is so important to vaccinate your puppies against parvovirus. They will need a minimum of 3 vaccinations staying from 6-8 weeks of age with the final vaccine being at 16 weeks or older (as per latest WSAVA guidelines). . . . . . . . . . . #dogsofsydney #dogsofaustralia #aussiedogs #aussiedogsrule #animalsofsydney #petsofsydney #sydneydogs #dogslife #vetlife #veterinarian #vetnurse #vettech #vetnurselife #vettechlife #puppiesofsydney #puppiesofaustralia #vetsofaustralia #aussievets #vetsofsydney #parvovirus
