Unfortunately we have needed to rake our beautiful puppy Dulcie, to emergency after hours at Bundoora Vet twice. She was assessed immediately both times according to her presentation.nThe first time she stayed overnight it was already 1:30am and had all required investigative procedures done. We were then advised to travel to a specialised vet all the way in Dandenong for a neuro assessment. My only gripe with this referral was that they super expensive and were only going to do a MRI as last resort. So it was a waste of $ and journey. We then opted for further care at Lort Smith, which is where we should’ve gone in the first place after Bundoora. She was totally fine by the next day. But I guess they were being thorough.nThe more recent time she was presenting as unwell. I was prepared for the worst and another expensive bill, however she was quickly assessed as having Kennel Cough likely from the dog park and sent away with antibiotics. Which I was grateful for. They have also provided follow up advice over the phone for her quarantine period.nI have a friend who uses Bundoora Vet frequently for ongoing care of her dog with arthritic issues and she speaks highly of their care.nI’ve also previously dropped off a stray pet bunny here.nIn summary, this is a vet hospital who genuinely care for your furry loved ones and I think the fees they charge are reasonable, considering the valuable and thorough service they provide. So thank you!
Saved our dog from an accident where unfortunately he was hit by a car @ 100km/h. Two broken legs and lung leaking into chest cavity. Whilst they couldn't facilitate the orthopaedic procedures on his legs, they stabilised him and rectified the chest aswell as giving multiple options for surgeries. He had his surgeries and returned for after-care for another two days where he further improved.nnBec and I can not thank the team enough for getting this boy back to what he loves!
My mother and I took my mother’s dog, Eden, to Bundoora Vet this morning. Dr Matt Davies was very thorough with his examination and explained everything very clearly. My Mum was extremely appreciative. Photo of Eden with my son.
Thanks to the team who looked after our cat Cody.nnCody was brought to another vet on Friday and was assessed as being fine, no tests were done apart from the Vet feeling his stomach.nnWe weren't satisfied and we were concerned so we took him to the emergency vet in Bundoora. There was about a 40 min wait however we were okay with this as there were emergency cases coming in.nnWhen Cody was seen the vet very quickly found a bulge in his belly and recommended we keep him in for observation, X-ray, Ultrasound and medications. We agreed and paid the $1,200 50% deposit given the time of day we were happy with this.nnOn Saturday morning the Vet conducted the Ultrasound and reviewed the results, we were informed there was an obstruction and that the best course of action was to take him to surgery. The Vet explained all three potential surgical outcomesnn1 Help push it through best casen2 Help push it through but also do a cut in the intentise to checkn3 Full procedurennThey quickly put together another estimate and we paid another $1,000.nnThey took Cody into surgery around lunch on Saturday, we received a call on Saturday afternoon saying everything went well and although they did have to make a cut in his internal organs they did their best to minimise this and it was more a precaution to check everything was well.nnHe spent Saturday, Sunday night with them and we brought him home Monday.nnIn total the cost was around $5,400.nnCody is now recovering at home and although a little tired and wobbly he's doing well, his wound looks very neat and clean and we were provided excellent discharge care notes and all the medications needed.nnTo recap, no it's not cheap however when you understand the cost of providing vet care, the cost of the equipment, training, staff and medications etc this is just the reality.nnOverall we found the staff to be very helpful and they provided Cody with great care, I have no doubt the outcome could have been very bad if we hadn't of trusted their advice.nnI wanted to post this review as when Cody was having surgery I was reading reviews and saw lots of people complaining about the cost. I must admit I was a bit concerned reading the reviews that we were going to be told the estimate was wrong and instead of paying another $3200 it's $5500 or something but that wasn't the case, they gave us a detailed invoice explained all the costs. I understand how upsetting it would be to have what happened to us to a family who couldn't afford the cost however based on my experience with this clinic I feel they would still do their best to assist and ultimately this is the risk we run as pet owners.nnOverall thanks to the staff who looked after Cody, we are all very attached to him and are so thankful that's he was in good hands.
Came in late one Friday night a few months ago with a sick Greyhound called Jordi with a roman nose I told reception I thought he was dying and he was triaged immediately to be urgently examined.nnIndeed his heart was failing and there was nothing we could do, he had collapsed out back.nnThe Dr explained our options to me, and tmy wife over the phone and we asked for honesty and what she'd do if it were her dog. We agreed to let him go.nnI was lead up to the back and we came across Jordi being comforted by a nurse on the ground, she was lying with Jordi who was distressed, I was so touched this nurse was looking after Jordi like he was her own.nnI took her place and he drifted off, they let me stay with him until I was ready to go.nnA terribly hard night, but one made easier by a caring team.nnThankyou so much for all that you do, it cant be easy fronting up everyday, when I assume most days this type of thing happens.nnYou should be proud of your efforts, diligence and care.nnMuch Love to you all.nnJimi.
