Dr. Anuschka had her hands (and heart) full with six adorable Staffy puppies who dropped by for their very first vaccinations. 💉✨

Starting life on the right paw is so important, and these brave little warriors handled their check-ups like absolute pros. There were wagging tails, tiny puppy breaths, and just a little bit of chaos—exactly how we like it!

Thinking of adding a new member to your pack? Don't forget that early vaccinations are the best way to protect your pups from parvovirus and other life-threatening diseases.

This incredibly handsome boy, Finnegan, came to us in a lot of pain with injuries around his tail. After radiographs, we discovered he had suffered a severe tail injury, his tail had become internally detached from the rest of the body. Ouch! 😭

Finnegan was stabilised and kept comfortable with pain relief overnight. Once he was strong enough, our team performed a tail amputation, as the tail could no longer function or heal properly.

Through it all, Finnegan showed nothing but affection and resilience. We’re so grateful we could help this sweet boy on his road to recovery, and we know he’ll continue to thrive, just with a little less tail and a lot more love 🙌

Meet Willow, our adorable dachshund puppy with a big heart and even bigger determination 🥰

Willow was born with a congenital issue affecting the growth of her front legs, causing them to develop abnormally. To help her walk and grow comfortably, she was seen by specialist surgeon Dr. Christiaan Triegaardt, who performed a bilateral ulnar osteotomy, a procedure where a small section of the ulna is carefully cut out to allow the front legs to straighten as she heals.

We’re happy to share that Willow handled her surgery like an absolute star and is already on the road to recovery.

Tuki is a 8 year-old Domestic Short Hair who has been in and out of hospital battling severe constipation caused by a developing mega-colon. Despite the best medical management, his condition progressed, and it was decided that a colectomy (removal of the permanently damaged section of his colon) was the best way forward 🥲

The surgery went smoothly, and Tuki made a full recovery. In fact, this food-loving cat’s first act after waking up from surgery was to eat. We’re so proud of how strong and resilient he has been throughout his journey 💪

Hopefully, this surgery means fewer hospital visits and a much more comfortable, happy life ahead for this sweet boy.

We’re all cheering you on, Tuki!

Meet Spencer 🐶

Spencer was referred to us after suffering a nasty leg fracture. Luckily, the timing worked out well, and Dr Triegaardt, a specialist surgical vet from CSSV, Cape Specialist Surgical Vet, was visiting us the very next day and was able to repair the fracture by placing a plate and screws.

Spencer stayed with us for a few days for pain management and monitoring, and during that time, this little boy completely stole the hearts of our team ❤️

He’s now on the road to recovery, and we wish him all the best as he continues healing at home!

Lucky Nino! 🙌

Nino was one very lucky dog after ingesting a fish hook that travelled through his entire
gastrointestinal tract without causing any damage. Remarkably, it only became lodged right at
the very end as it was passing out 🫣

We were able to assist and safely resolve the situation, and Nino avoided what could have been
a much more serious outcome.

A reminder to pet parents: Fishing hooks pose a real danger to curious dogs. Please dispose of
them properly and keep a close eye on your pets, especially during beach and fishing outings.

Daniel’s Beach Day Didn’t Go as Planned 🥲

Daniel came to see us after a beach visit took a turn for the worse when he got a fishhook stuck in his lip. With some light sedation, we were able to remove the hook safely, and Daniel was soon ready to head home feeling much more comfortable.

A gentle reminder to pet parents: Always keep a close eye on your dogs at the beach. Unfortunately, not all hooks are removed from caught fish, and curious pups can easily get injured. Staying vigilant can help prevent painful (and scary) accidents like this one.

The Frenchie puppy who stole everyone's hearts at Vitalvet Animal Medical Centre this morning! 🥰

Fletch came in for his 10-week puppy vaccination, and although we fell in love with him, he opted to fall in love with our peanut butter treats 😄

Little Daisey visited us at Vitalvet, feeling a bit under the weather with a tummy bug. After some treatment for her diarrhoea, she was feeling much better, and she didn’t leave empty-handed! 😁

Check out her new look! She headed home rocking this adorable biker jacket. She’s officially the coolest and toughest patient on the block 💪
