This was a serious, time-critical situation requiring immediate attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chilli\u2019s outcome was greatly influenced by her owners\u2019 quick thinking. Robert contacted us straight away, providing their details, an estimated time of arrival, and a clear description of what had happened, along with Chilli\u2019s condition. While making their way to the clinic, they applied firm pressure to the wound using a shirt \u2014 simple first aid, but critically important in managing active bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to this clear and timely communication, our team was prepared and ready upon Chilli\u2019s arrival. We were able to promptly assess her, stabilise her condition, and proceed to surgery without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chilli underwent surgery and, in an excellent outcome, was able to return home the very same day. Over the following weeks, she came back for regular bandage changes and rechecks, showing steady improvement at each visit. Within just 2\u20133 weeks, she was given the all clear and had returned to her normal routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cases like this are a strong reminder of how vital early action and effective communication can be in emergency situations. A sincere thank you to Chilli\u2019s owners for acting quickly and entrusting us with her care \u2014 it truly made all the difference.<br>We\u2019re very pleased to see her back to doing what she loves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mbvets.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chilli-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mbvets.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chilli-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mbvets.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chilli-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mbvets.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chilli-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mbvets.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chilli-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mbvets.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Chilli-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in February, one of our lovely patients, Chilli the Red Cattle Dog, had an unfortunate run-in with a goanna, sustaining significant injuries to her ear and leg, including an arterial bleed.
