Pet Stories

Preparing for an emergency can save your pet's life

This was the case for Timmy, a four-year-old male cat that arrived at the Animal Referral Hospital in Homebush for severe bleeding on the leg indicative of a cat fight injury sustained when roaming outside some days before. He was lethargic and weak, and his gums were very pale.

Timmy was rushed into the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) where emergency blood tests indicated he had a severe blood clotting disorder and was severely anaemic. Timmy went into shock from the amount of blood lost and, despite receiving intravenous (IV) fluids, the blood was seeping through his bandages. He needed an urgent blood transfusion to save his life.
Burned cat makes amazing recovery
Dr Sarah Goldsmid, veterinary surgeon from the Animal Referral Hospital in Homebush, slowly cuts away Snowy's bandages, revealing a small wound under his arm. It's hard to believe almost a year ago this domestic longhaired cat was brought to the RSPCA with severe burns to his entire body.
Snowy was tortured – tied up with an electrical cord, burned severely all around his body and his left ear was cut off. The case caused such an outcry from the public.

"The overwhelming response for Snowy's case was incredible," says RSPCA NSW Inspector Skye Adams, who oversees the case. "People donated thousands of dollars towards Snowy's veterinary treatment."
Quick actions save pet from a deadly snake bite

When eight-year-old Franki was carried into the Animal Referral Hospital (ARH) in Baulkham Hills a few weeks ago, she was regurgitating, retching and gagging, with paralysis starting to set into her worn-out body.
