‼️Please check your pets microchip registration!‼️

🚨 Important Microchip Update for Pet Owners 🚨

The company HomeSafeID (Microchip Pet Registry) has gone into receivership, and the future of their register is uncertain. This means they may no longer maintain their microchip database.

To ensure your pet’s microchip remains active and up to date, we strongly recommend transferring their registration to another database. At our clinic, we use Australasian Animal Registry (AAR). You may be able register your pet’s microchip here: https://www.myras.com.au/AAR/register/Registration.aspx

Not sure where your pet's microchip is currently registered? You can check here: https://petaddress.com.au/.

Keeping your pet’s microchip details current and registered is crucial for their safety and for reuniting them with you in case they are ever lost.

Please email us or call if you are unsure of your pets microchip number.

Meet Boo 👻🤍

Boo was referred to our hosptial back in June after he was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma of his rib. Boo’s Mum discussed the treatment options with Dr Jessica Finlay, one of our Specialist Oncologists who recommend an abdominal and thoracic CT. During this CT Boo was also diagnosed with a lung tumour, unrelated to his chondrosarcoma. He had a surgical assessment with Dr Kadie O’Byrne, one of our Specialist Surgeons. Dr Kadie recommended Boo have a thoracotomy (opening of the chest) for removal of the right caudal lung lobe and associated mass. Boo’s dedicated Mum understood this was a tricky and major surgery but was keen to do whatever she could to help Boo so he underwent surgery with Dr Kadie and her team in August. Boo then had surgery to remove his chondrosarcoma, a few ribs and reconstruct his thoracic and abdominal wall. This also required reimplantation of his diaphragm. The surgery was a success and we are so happy to report Boo has recovered beautifully and is continuing to see both our Surgery and Oncology teams for follow up monitoring.
