FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS
To keep our staff safe, please rethink your visit if you have any flu or covid-like symptoms to ensure our staff are protected.
We highly recommend still practicing social distancing, and wearing a mask if you have symptoms or are unwell.
Hand sanitiser is provided for your use on entry to our practice.
If do have symptoms and still need to come in, please remain in your car, and telephone us on 6242 7276 and we will advise if the vet can do a carpark consult.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
Please be extra kind to the amazing CVES team if you have an emergency with your pets today, they are very short staffed. Please read below.Dear pet parents of Canberra!
Unfortunately, we are experiencing a lot of difficulties with our roster today. Due to multiple staff sicknesses, we tried our best to remain open and cover the shifts that needed to be covered. We thank our amazing team who came together and picked up some extra hours in order to help animals and people in need.
Yet, we are still understaffed in our veterinary department. We do not have either consulting or procedures veterinarians rostered today, meaning 1 hospital vet will be responsible for the entire patient load (walk-ins, GP veterinarians transfers, and already hospitalised patients). As this is a lot of pressure for only 1 person, we have to limit our consultation capacity for today. This will mean we are only seeing critical patients today.
But please, do not worry. Our wonderful and skilled nurse and client care teams are here for you if you need veterinary assistance.
Do not hesitate to call us at 6225 7257 to have a detailed conversation with our team members. We will listen to your concerns and create a plan together to help you determine what is the best course of action for you and your pet.
As always, we thank you for being kind and respectful towards our hard-working team.
Stay safe!
After a massive week for the team doing extra shifts to cover their colleagues due to illness, today was special and bought the team lots of smiles and an overloading of cuteness with three sets of twins in! Yes, you read that right…….Twins x3 ❤️ we captured a serious and a funny picture of them to share with you with permission from their owners.
We could not resist lots of cuddles with these babies today.
Thank you to all our amazing clients for your understanding and compassion shown to the team with us having to reschedule your appointments🥰 We really appreciate you.
