🦠Cases are up again so its "pets only" again!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While case numbers are so high in Canberra 📈we have decided to only allow small friends through our doors once again 🛑Although it's not how we would like it to be (but really, what is lately???) it worked well for us through the lockdowns and most people and their small friends found it pretty easy 😌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With such a small team and only one full time vet (Dr Mel has returned from maternity leave 👏🏻and is seeing patients three days a week, and Dr Sally will be starting her maternity leave in just a few weeks 🤰) if any one of our team contracts Covid-19 🦠or if Dr Matt needs to isolate 🙅🏻♂️we will almost certainly have to close our doors 😫We are taking this extra step to ensure we can stay open and stay here for you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We thank you for your patience and understanding 😊and hope everyone is staying well and enjoying a relaxing summer ☀️with their small friends 🐶🐱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra

Grass seeds 🌾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last summer lovely Tiger Lily came to visit Dr Sally with a very sore eye 🥲On examination Dr Sally found a grass seed in Tiger Lily's eye 👁 Dr Sally removed the grass seed and owner Christine kept a close eye ('see' what I did there?) on Tiger Lily and brought her back for a check up ✅where we were happy to say all had healed well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whilst we are enjoying this lovely weather ☀️ picnics 🧺and long walks 🐕🦺please take care in long grass.
