We regularly discuss the options for relieving the pain of Osteoarthritis in our pets.  We are large advocates of injectable courses of treatment in conjunction with oral Glyde doses.   Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone.  It is most common from middle age onward, although it can be at any age. It causes extreme pain and stiffness, especially in the hip and knee joints causing long term lameness.

Congratulations to Maz and her husband Ben, on the arrival of a healthy baby boy, Finnigan on 17^th October. Mother and baby both doing well.

A great effort by Maz who worked up until 5 days prior to giving birth. Throughout the pregnancy, Maz worked full time, without a sick day and has been a real trooper.  We don’t think it will be too long until we see Maz returning. Congratulations again to the happy family.

We are excited to announce that as of June, at our Greensborough practice, we are able to provide our patients with dental x/rays.
