✨ Get to Know Mikayla! ✨

Originally from Sydney, Mikayla moved to the country and ...discovered her true passion for caring for animals. After starting her career in aged care, she made the switch to veterinary nursing and hasn’t looked back! 💚

As a trainee veterinary nurse, Mikayla splits her time between Ovens & Kiewa Vets and our sister clinic, Dr Paws, where she is always eager to learn and grow. 🩺🐾

Growing up around dogs, cats and horses has strengthened her love for animals, with a particular soft spot for the bigger members of every species! At home, she is kept busy by her three very spoilt dogs and one equally spoilt cat. 🐶🐱

Mikayla loves supporting clients and their pets through both the happy and difficult moments. She has also developed a growing passion for pathology, enjoying the challenge of learning something new. 🔬

We're so lucky to have Mikayla as part of both our teams and can't wait to see where her veterinary nursing journey takes her! 💚🐾

🐾 PHARMACY FRIDAY – MALASEB DOG WASH! 🐾

Is your dog feeling itchy, smelly or ...suffering from recurring skin problems? 🐶

✨ Malaseb is a medicated shampoo commonly used in dogs to help manage yeast and bacterial skin infections. It contains active ingredients that help reduce the organisms contributing to skin irritation and infection.

🛁 How does it help?
Malaseb can help:
✔️ Reduce yeast and bacteria on the skin
✔️ Soothe and clean irritated skin
✔️ Help manage greasy, smelly or flaky skin
✔️ Support treatment of certain skin infections when used as directed by your vet

💡 Top Tip: For medicated shampoos to work effectively, it's important to follow the directions carefully and allow the shampoo to remain on the coat for the recommended contact time.

🐾 Remember: Not every itchy dog has the same cause! Allergies, parasites and other skin conditions can all cause similar symptoms, so it's best to have your pet assessed by your vet before starting treatment.

💚 Ask our team about Malaseb and whether it’s suitable for your pet!

✨ Get to Know Molly!

Originally from Hamilton 🏡, Molly has had a love for animals ...from a very young age. Growing up on a beef and sheep farm, she was surrounded by animals every day, and it's no surprise she found her way into the veterinary industry 💚🐮🐑

Molly has been part of the Ovens & Kiewa Vets family for almost a year. While she spent much of that time completing her placement with us, her dedication, positive attitude, and strong work ethic quickly stood out. Through her hard work and commitment, she has truly earned her place as a valued member of our team 💚✨

You'll often see Molly helping care for our patients both in hospital and behind the scenes. She has a gentle, compassionate nature and is always eager to learn, ensuring every patient receives plenty of love, comfort, and exceptional care 🐶🐱🩺

Molly is passionate about developing her nursing skills and is always looking for opportunities to learn and grow. She demonstrates an exceptional attention to detail and regularly asks thoughtful questions to gain a deeper understanding, ensuring she learns not just the "how," but also the "why" behind veterinary nursing. Her curiosity, commitment to learning, and desire to provide the highest standard of patient care make her an invaluable member of our team. Whether she's caring for patients, assisting our veterinarians, or supporting clients, she approaches every task with kindness, enthusiasm, and professionalism. 💚

🏡 At home, Molly's love of animals continues! She has two horses and a Kelpie, who keep her busy outside of work. Growing up on the farm gave her a deep appreciation for caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, and that passion shines through every day at the clinic 🐴🐕🌾

We're incredibly proud of everything Molly has achieved in such a short time and are so lucky to have her as part of the Ovens & Kiewa Vets team. We can't wait to watch her continue to grow into an amazing veterinary nurse! 💚
