Tinkerbell Tennant-Breust 🐱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This gorgeous male 17 week old Ragdoll came in to be desexed ✅He only had one descended testicle, which is not uncommon in dogs, but quite rare for cats! 🐈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tinkerbell required a procedure called a Cryptorchid Castrate ✂️This is where the undescended testicle is located and then surgically removed from the lower abdomen (similar to the surgical removal of ovaries from a female). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tinkerbell's owners thought he was female when they first adopted him. When they found out he was actually male they decided to stick with his cute name 😊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you have questions about your small friend's desexing surgery? Why not take a look at our website 🖥you can read all about the surgery as well as anaesthesia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra
Aspen 🐶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Aspen 🥰a Bichon Frise, has Cushing's Syndrome. This is when your dog makes too much of a hormone called cortisol. Too much or too little cortisol ⚖️can cause problems so her mum brings in Aspen regularly for blood tests ✅Aspen is such a good patient ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra

Old friends new friends 🐶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the pleasures of our job (and yes, there are many) is to get to know families and their small friends 🧡 We are truly honoured to be there through the beginnings, ends, up and downs of your journey with your small friend 🐱🐶🐰🐭After losing a small friend it can be hard to know when the right time will be, if ever, to bring another into your life 🤔but by the time they are due for the first booster vaccination most people say they can't imagine life without their new baby 😁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have been f r i e n d s with the Gibbs family for 14 years and we were so excited to meet their new puppy Remi 👏🏻 Here she is when she came in for her vaccinations! Remi has a lot to live up to as we were very good friends with her brother Flynn 💙 Since this photo was taken she has been back to visit us for her desexing and well...she is firmly in our hearts - just like her brother 💕You don't ever forget your friends and please know, neither do we. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy
If they had to fly into a window, they chose the right one 😅 🐦👏🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This little bird 🐦was being chased by a magpie, and flew straight into our office window 🙈Nurse Josie, immediately went outside and picked him up, as he was unable to stand up or walk straight 😵⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We gave him a check over. He was a bit stunned from the hard hit to the head, so we kept him in a dark box for a little while to let him rest and recover safely 😴 After a couple of hours he was trying to fly in his box so we took him outside to see if he was ready to fly away, and he did! 😄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was our pleasure, little guy 😍
