Sydney Animal Hospitals/World Vets Disaster Relief

Sydney Animal Hospitals and Terrigal Vets  are deploying a veterinary disaster response team today in conjunction with World Vets to assist in animal welfare efforts in bushfire affected areas of the South Coast of NSW at the request of local veterinarians in that area.

Specifically we will be helping wildlife, companion animals and livestock directly impacted and working with local vets who are already struggling with loss of property and personally and professionally demanding conditions.

One of our practice owners, Dr. Ben Brown, and one of the owners of Terrigal Vets Dr. Simon Ibbotson will travel in a small team of vets and nurses to assist local veterinarians and government vets in the area around Bega, Cobargo and Eden. 

Funds will be used solely to animal health supplies such as pain relief, burns creams and bandages and antibiotics. Vets and nurses are donating their time and will not receive any funds

This is an unfolding human and animal disaster that will take many months to resolve. Any assistance you can offer is appreciated.  All funds go directly towards the purchase of veterinary supplies for affected areas and dispersing these directly to animals in need.
