We have a holistic approach towards the treatment of animals in our care.

We look at the whole animal for example its diet, husbandry, environment and not just its presenting symptoms.

The majority of problems are caused by incorrect  diet & husbandry.

At Currumbin Valley Veterinary Surgery we place a great emphasis on the education of our clients to make them more aware of the special needs and requirements of their pets.

Why don’t people go to the RSPCA or the Animal Welfare League if they have unwanted animals?

Photos from Currumbin Valley Birds, Reptiles & Exotics Vet's post All pet birds enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. However birds in cages should never be left unattended outside. Predatory birds (currawongs, magpies, crows, goshawks etc) treat small birds in cages on balconies, verandas or patios, as “hors d’ouevres”. Especially in spring when they are raising their chicks. When a predatory bird swoops an unattended cage, housing pet birds, there is no protection or shelter for the pet. Terrorised, they flap uncontrollably about the cage and the predators peck their wings, legs and head through the bars of the cage. Little Skittles was the victim of a predatory bird attack. Her leg was pulled through the cage bars. Her leg was “degloved” (skin pulled away from muscle) and she had tendon and ligament damage to her ankle. She was a lucky bird with caring owners. Dr. Peter was able to surgically repair the damage and fit a cast to immobilise the leg during the healing process. She was fitted with a collar to stop her chewing the cast.

Photos from Currumbin Valley Birds, Reptiles & Exotics Vet's post We are in the middle of paralysis tick season on the Gold Coast, South east Queensland - it is not only cats and dogs that are affected- birds can also succumb. Usually birds can groom ticks off their bodies, however they can’t reach ticks that attach to their head or neck. Ticks that attach to the top of a bird’s head don’t affect them very much as there is limited muscle and blood supply. It is when ticks attach to the areas that have good blood supply such as neck or jaw muscles that birds suffer the full affects of tick paralysis. Mei , a Cayuga duck, had two engorged ticks removed from her face and neck. She was severely affected- unable to vocalise, walk or swallow. Fortunately, she responded well to treatment and after 5 days was able to go home.

Photos from Currumbin Valley Birds, Reptiles & Exotics Vet's post We are constantly seeing pet birds suffering from the consequences of unsuitable “hacked off” wing trims. If a bird’s feathers are cut so short that they cannot fly complications occur. New,growing blood feathers are unprotected, birds crash land and injure themselves. We correct bad wing trims by attaching feather extensions to the affected wing. Recently we had to attach donar feathers to Pickachu, a little Budgie, who had a “hacked off”, one wing trim that caused him to “cork screw” heavily to the ground. He is now a much happier, more confident bird who can fly , steer and land without mishaps.
