Young mumma koala came to us with dog fight wounds, and on physical examination I noticed she had a lactating nipple. It took a team of wildlife carers a full day, but we were able to find and reunite her with her baby!2yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/VetTech

My first bilby anaesthetic! There's minimal information on bilby anaesthesia so I based my protocol on what I knew about bandicoots, ferrets and cats.1yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/VetTech
Is my mask pushed right up to my eyes to stop my glasses from fogging up? Yes. But did my clear vision allow me to closely monitor this anaesthetised echidna? Also yes (info in comments)2yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/VetTech
You all seemed to really like my last photo of Shadow and Mokie, so here's another one. Shadow (black and white) had a Sertoli cell tumour when he was younger, and Mokie became very attached to him while he went through treatment. She still insists on always being by his side to this day.4yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/husky

Meet Oatmeal, named by the wonderful human who found him in a box on the side of the road on a 43°C day. He's alive and safe (no thanks to the people who abandoned him) and will hopefully make some new piggy friends at the sanctuary.4yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/guineapigs

Sometimes it's just easier to let a patient chomp on you while you treat them (no kingfishers or humans were harmed in the making of this photo, regardless of the squawking during his IM injection)4yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/VetTech
The Eastern Brown is considered the second-most venomous land snake based on venom potency, and is responsible for 60% of snake bite deaths in Australia. They're also just as deserving of veterinary care as our other native wildlife.4yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/VetTech
Bandicoots are very vocal animals that produce high-pitched sounds when disturbed. Turns out being wrapped in a towel counts as being disturbed.4yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/VetTech

The wedge-tailed eagle is the largest eagle in Australia and the third largest in the world. To be able to work so closely with one is such an incredible experience.4yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/VetTech
Healthy piggies secrete a white, milky liquid from their eyes which they use to clean their skin. After the eye soap is secreted, they'll use their front feet to spread it around their body. This is one of many reasons why piggies don't need regular baths, they do it themselves!5yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/guineapigs
Hamilton went to vets for some blood work today. He was heckin' concerned!5yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/guineapigs

Any idea what breed Riddle is? He was a stray who found his way to our vet hospital, where we discovered he has neurological problems (hence his name) and so we decided to let him live out the rest of his life in a warm home with one of the staff (me).5yr ⋅ alittlebitiffy ⋅ r/pigeon
