Animal Management Team
Here are a few highlights from our Animal Management team's recent visits to Gapuwiyak and Yathalamarra Homeland.
In July, Dr Susannah and Vet Nurses Jess and Sarah visited Gapuwiyak. They were joined by visiting Vet Dr Kathleen and two students from Melbourne University, Taylor and Cailin.
Working as a team, they performed 44 surgeries over four days to ensure these animals in Community were healthy. They also administered over 100 parasite treatments to help protect the animals and prevent the spreading of parasites such as scabies and hookworms.
More recently in August, Dr Susannah and Vet Nurse Jess worked in collaboration with Dinybulu Regional Services to provide veterinary care to the animals of Yathalamarra Homeland. The people of Yathalamarra gave a warm welcome to the team. With help from the Dinybulu Rangers, Marcus and Scott, the team hand out parasite prevention to every dog in the Community. In addition, our vets were able to offer animal desexing.
