Dogs and cats do a pretty good job at hiding pain, so it’s important to watch out for the warning signs that may indicate your pet needs to see a vet.
Wildlife & H5 Bird Flu – Important Information
We continue to provide care for injured wildlife, including wild birds. However, due to the detection of H5 bird flu in Victoria, please call us before bringing any wild bird to the clinic. Our team will assess the situation and advise you on the safest next steps.
If you find multiple sick or dead birds, or a bird showing unusual neurological or respiratory signs, please avoid contact with the bird and contact the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.
Please report even a single sick or dead seabird, waterbird, shorebird or bird of prey.
Do not handle dead birds.
Thank you for helping us protect wildlife, our patients, staff and the wider community.
