Hannah Burton desexing her 20th animal for the day ends on a fold-out plastic table in a remote community hall.
It's part of a two-day blitz that aims to get rid of as many dogs and cats as possible in the north-west Queensland town of Camooweal.
This is one of the best ways to help with the overpopulation problem communities that are dealing with, according to Dr Burton.
The population of dogs and cats has increased despite the efforts of vets and animal rescue groups in the north-west and Gulf of Carpentaria.
The region's largest animal rescue non-profit Paws, Hoofs and Claws PHC has spent approximately $50,000 on desexing programs over the past year.
We've had a lot of dogs come in the last year with the worst non-contagious mange we've seen.
In 10 years we've probably had 10 -- 12 cases of mange. We had about 20 dogs in the last year, that is a sign of more dogs not being cared for. Ms Carson and Dr Burton said that education programs run in communities did not seem to be working.
Ms Carson said we have tried a lot of avenues but we are still overwhelmed with animals.
The law is incredibly disappointing. When it comes to enforcing any type of law in relation to how you treat an animal, it's a no-win situation. Dr Burton said that a lack of vets made it hard to carry out desexing procedures.
When I was on maternity leave, I was fortunate that a friend of mine was able to step in. That was very lucky. If I were to leave the area for another five or 10 years, I'm not sure who would step into my shoes. Ms Carson said that PHC was looking at enforcing the desexing of any animals adopted out of the organisation.
She said that they are looking at a last-litter approach in which if you take home an animal, it is on the condition that it is desexed.
It is incredibly frustrating to watch the same problems come up time and time again.
