Latest News Snippets... (all newsworthy items can be found here!)

January 2018 - To start the year off we are really excited to welcome our newest staff member: Dr Toni Cockburn!  She is a great fit for our team - not only does she bring her laughter and easy going nature, but also enjoys continually updating her skills and knowledge. 

Dr Toni is one of Perth’s leading bird experts, with many years of experience, and is one of the few vets in Western Australia to have been granted membership from the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Medicine in Avian Health. In addition to this, she has vast experience with wildlife and exotic pets, as well as small animal medicine and surgery. She looks forward to meeting you and your pet when you are next in!  If you would like to read more about Dr Toni, please visit our "Meet Our Team" page.

In other exciting additions - we are also excited to share Perth Veterinary Acupuncture's services with our clients.  Dr Karin Nygren is a veterinarian who is also a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist and has over 13 years of experience incorporating the benefits of acupuncture into her clinical work, with great results!  She offers a mobile service, and has started working with Dr Yoko's rehab patients from our facility. 

Dr Karin's acupuncture treatments can assist animals not only with acute and chronic pain, stress and inappetence, but also other medical conditions.  If you would like to book your pet in for an acupuncture appointment please don't hesitate to contact us for more information or to organise a referral.  

December 2017 - We are so proud of our staff, as you know, and this month we have a lot to celebrate! 

Firstly, Adrian is now a graduate veterinary nurse, having completed his two year training with TAFE.  In addition, he has also completed his Low Stress Handling Certification, so he now has "free" time, which he is excited to be (finally) filling with non-study activities. 

In addition to this, Rebecca has started down the path to becoming a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Assistant, by completing the Sports Medicine Component of the Canine Rehabilitation Institute course in Brisbane earlier this month.  Our trainee nurses Renee and Dillon have also passed the first year of their Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.

We are excited to be part of a team that enjoys advancing their skills and knowledge, and wish to congratulate everyone on their achievements for this year.

As this year draws to a close, we wish to take this time to thank each and every one of you for your patronage and hope you have a wonderful festive season.  May 2018 be even better than 2017 for you!

November 2017 - We would like to thank everyone who supported our Fundraising Day on Sunday 5 November, featuring Pet Photos with Santa, Ranger Red Wildlife Display, free soft serve ice-cream, a sausage sizzle and a large raffle with 3 fantastic prizes.

The day was a great success, and you helped us raise $720 for both the Animal Protection Society and the Australian Animal Cancer Foundation.  Dr Tiff and Dr Yoko would really like to acknowledge the huge effort all of our staff and their families made towards the success of the day, not only in organising the event, but also in donating their time on the day to these fantastic charities.  We could not have done it without you Bec, Rebecca, Adrian, Eva, Jill and Renee as well as the extended Roleystone Animal Hospital Family: Peta, Chris, Sue, Jase, Jason & Michelle.
 

September 2017 - Over the past four years, you may have noticed the increasing number of veterinary students spending their holidays doing work experience in our hospital.  We are really excited to say that our team's commitment to sharing our knowledge with veterinary students has recently been recognised by Murdoch University's College of Veterinary Medicine.  As such, we have been invited to become officially recognised as a Partner In Veterinary Education due to the standards of practice we uphold, the number of vet students we host and the "overwhelmingly positive student ratings" we have received. We are truly honoured to have received this recognition, and look forward  to continuing to provide such experiences for others.

August 2017 - We are really proud to announce that a second member of our team has become Low Stress Handling (TM) Certified!  Well done Bec!!

Dr Tiffany and Adrian are next in line to complete the qualification!  Once everyone has completed all the modules, we will be certified as a Low Stress Hospital, highlighting our ongoing commitment to keeping your pet's visit to the vet positive and stress free.

July 2017 - More congratulations are in order! This month we are really excited to announce that Dr Yoko has just become certified as a Canine Rehabilitation Therapist. This qualification provides you with the assurance that your pet's osteoarthritis, post operative rehabilitation, lameness or neurologic disease has not only veterinary basis, but also a physiotherapy basis for treatment. Dr Yoko can design a wide range of therapeutic programs to improve your pet's comfort, mobility and function with both in clinic and at home treatments and exercises, that are both fun and functional.  

If you would like your pet to have a rehabilitation assessment with Dr Yoko please don't hesitate to contact us to book it in for you.  The initial consultation takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, so we prefer for your pet to be left with us for the day, so we can break up the assessment to make it more fun for your pet.  At the end of the assessment, Dr Yoko provides you with a written assessment and treatment plan, and there are always alternatives available to make your pet's rehabilitation suit your schedule and lifestyle.

June 2017  This month we are really excited to congratulate the first member of our team to have completed the Low Stress Handling (TM) Certification course.  

This achievement by Rebecca Waller, one of our registered nurses, means that she has completed over 20 hours of coursework learning how to minimise stress in dogs and cats in many different situations.  

February 2017  It's here... Our official hospital tour video.  You can check it out here, and as always, we are more than happy to show you around in person too!

November 2016  You may have noticed that our nurse Bec has not been at work for the last couple of weeks.  Well, we are very proud to say that she's volunteering her time for the next 2 months working in Borneo at an Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre.  

So far she has not only had the great fortune of working with these fantastic animals, but also travelling around Borneo, enjoying the beautiful scenery & being lucky enough to see native pygmy elephants and a sun bear in the wild!
