June 4, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

A six-month project to expand Nanango Country Veterinary Services culminated in an official opening at the business premises in Fitzroy Street on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Vet Kathy Webb has extended her business by adding two new consulting rooms, an office \/ lab area and a new covered area for the hydrobath.<\/p>\n

We could say that there’s now room to swing a cat (or dog)!<\/p>\n

Kathy has been in Nanango for 25 years and started her own business in 1994 at 61 Fitzroy Street (hence the name at the time, “Fitzroy County Veterinary Surgery”).<\/p>\n

Seven years later she shifted up the road to 7 Fitzroy Street, into the old Telecom depot.<\/p>\n

This has served her well but it was time for an expansion.<\/p>\n

“The new areas are going to be better for clients and staff,” Kathy said.<\/p>\n

Cr Barry Green, from the South Burnett Regional Council, cut the ribbon to mark the opening of the extensions. Lutheran pastor Rob Fechner then blessed the building.<\/p>\n

Kathy said the work had been completed by local builder Neil Uebergang and she was pleased to be able to say only local plumbers and electricians worked on the job.<\/p>\n

She invited all her clients to attend the opening and enjoy a sausage sizzle.<\/p>\n

And although it was still a “work” day, with sick and injured animals dropping by, the staff at the surgery joined in the fun.<\/p>\n

“I just want to say how supportive and loyal the staff have been through the whole building process,” Kathy said.<\/p>\n

Nanango Country Veterinary Services caters for both small pets as well as farm animals, especially horses.<\/p>\n

In fact, about 30 per cent of the practice’s patients are large animals.<\/p>\n

“I have advanced qualifications in horse medicine and horse dentistry,” Kathy said. “And I am studying towards my Masters in Farm Consultancy through Charles Sturt University.”<\/p>\n

Kathy also admits to having a special interest in alpacas.<\/p>\n

She and her husband Bruce – well-known in Nanango rugby league circles – have a cattle property just outside Nanango.<\/p>\n
