Meet Bessy-Boo, a 14.5-year-old Golden Retriever. Among the handful of conditions that this lovely old lady has, her gums were severely inflamed and had developed what we call “kissing lesions.” This is a severe form of gingivitis that occurs at the points of contact with teeth with a thick layer of dental tartar. She also had a fast-growing facial lump that we wanted to remove.
We performed dental treatment, including scaling, polishing, and extractions, and removed the nodule from her muzzle. Her anesthesia went smoothly, and she recovered quickly. We disagree with the common notion that older pets cannot be anesthetized because they won’t wake up. By tailoring the anesthetic protocol to each patient’s needs and performing the required preoperative investigations, anesthesia for older pets can be both safe and smooth.

🐱Meet Putin. Despite a harrowing accident as a tiny kitten, where he flirted with death, he emerged as a resilient survivor. Today, he's here for his initial vaccinations!
🟣We recommend starting vaccinations at three months of age and administering the last booster at four months of age!
✨And don't forget that the critical feline leukemia vaccine is available & highly recommended for cats with access outdoors! Super important❗

💜Meet our lovely Ward Veterinarian, Khadidja. She is from Algeria and holds a bachelor's degree in Veterinary Medicine from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Vétérinaire in 2020.
🟣Her daily routine inside the clinic is all about ensuring the patients receive the best treatments and comfort, doing it with the utmost care and love! Khadidja is one of the two ambassadors of the Feline Friendly practice by ISFM and enthusiastically whips whoever doesn't abide by the clinic's cat rules😼.
One of the clinic's cats is named after her.

🐾When she is not trying to help our furry babies, her days off involve going to the gym for a serotonin boost, taking long walks, watching historical documentaries (without falling asleep halfway through them), and listening to her favorite music.
🎵Her favorite track is L'amour de ma vie by Billie Eilish!

✨May seem fierce, but he's the sweetest dog around. This is our sweet Sheyla and she is very well behaved Staffie!
🐾Unfortunately, Staffies are sometimes misunderstood due to their historical association with dog fighting, leading to breed-specific legislation in some regions.
💜However, many Staffies are loving family pets when raised in a caring environment.

🐾At Panacea Vets clinic, we adhere to modern veterinary medicine standards.
🟣 Prior to and throughout any surgical procedure, we meticulously follow our comprehensive surgical checklist, ensuring that every aspect is addressed for the safety and comfort of your cherished companion.
💜Interestingly, surgical checklists, originally inspired by aviation protocols, only became a routine practice in human hospitals after 2010, as part of the World Health Organization's efforts to reduce surgical complications.

✨Discover the gentle approach of homeopathy, a centuries-old medical tradition that complements treatment by harnessing the body's natural healing processes.
💜Homeopathy sees symptoms as signals of the body's attempt to regain health, using highly diluted substances to trigger healing.
🟣Unlike pharmaceuticals, it aims to address the root cause, not just symptoms, benefiting conditions like skin issues (hair loss, allergies, wounds), urinary problems (kidney disease, incontinence), behavioral concerns (aggression, depression), cardiovascular issues, musculoskeletal problems (arthritis), and more.

✨Interested in exploring homeopathy for your pet❓
Give us a call to book a holistic consultation with our therapist, Hilke. Let's tailor a treatment plan specifically for your pet's needs. 🐾

22/05/2024

🐾When you enter our clinic, we aim to create an atmosphere similar to a zen retreat.
We've designed a cozy corner where you can treat yourself a coffee or our homebrewed kombucha along with local date treats.
💜Our goal is to ensure you feel relaxed and at ease while you wait in our clinic's waiting area.

☀️As temperatures soar, it's crucial to ensure our dogs stay cool and fit. Many dog owners in the UAE notice their furry companions putting on extra weight during the summer months, but let's abandon the "it's just summer" excuses. We've got the perfect solution: our pool offers a refreshing retreat and an excellent way to keep them active.

💦Swimming isn't just a way to beat the heat—it's a gift for their overall health. It's a superb exercise that strengthens muscles and ligaments, ensuring their fitness levels stay tip-top. Plus, it's a fantastic outlet for burning off excess calories and keeping their minds engaged. So, let's dive in and treat our adorable canine pals to some aquatic fun!

💜Give us a call to learn more about our "fun swim" sessions!

🐾Little Peanut is ready for a groom! This includes a wash with a soap-free shampoo, trim, ear flush, and nail clip.
💜We do recommend bathing a dog no more frequently than once a month. If you still wish to do it more frequently, we recommend using only baking soda and water, as this is very gentle on the skin.
🟣Dogs are not meant to be bathed very frequently, and having a dog smell is a natural scent. So don't try to make your dog smell like strawberries all the time; this is not good for their skin and fur.

What is Hydrotherapy❓
💧Hydrotherapy is a form of low impact physiotherapy. In Greek the word hydrotherapy means “Water Healing”. Its particular value comes about because of the effects of the warmth and pressure of the water, and particularly the buoyancy provided.

When should Hydrotherapy be used❓
🟣General Fitness and Weight Loss
🟣Muscle, Tendon or Ligament strengthening and restoration
🟣Increase in the range of motion in joints
🟣Rehabilitation after an injury, trauma or surgery
🟣Relief of pain, swelling of stiffness which may be experienced in conditions like Arthritis or Degenerative joint Disease
🟣Just for fun

💦Panacea boats the first and largest purpose built circular canine hydrotherapy pool in the Middle East at 6.5 x 9 metres with a total lap length of 24 metres with alternating jet currents.

💜Our hydrotherapy staff had been trained in hydrotherapy and first aid to the highest possible standards.

Why are annual vet visits a must❓

🟣Well, because the vet delves into places the average pet owner dares not venture. We conduct a thorough examination - we're talking ears, eyes (no peeking!), teeth (unless there's a life-threatening situation... shudders), heart and lung sounds, the backside inspection (yes, it's a thing), and yes, sometimes we have to stick a finger where the sun don't shine.

🟣We're like detectives checking out the abdomen, joints, assessing the "fluffiness" factor (aka your pet's body condition score), even examining the thyroid gland for our elder cat friends.

💜And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
So, if you think your pet's "homebody" status exempts them from potential health issues... think again!

Are you looking for a natural and gentle way to enhance your pet's well-being❓
💜Enter the world of acupuncture – a traditional Chinese holistic approach that's been making waves in veterinary care.
💜But what exactly is acupuncture for pets❓ Ιt's a profound healing art that taps into the body's own energy pathways to promote balance and alleviate a range of ailments by giving the body the ability to repair itself and return to a state of balance (good health).

✨From arthritis to anxiety, this ancient practice has shown remarkable results in improving the quality of life not just for human but also for our beloved companions.

Acupuncture increases the circulation, causes a release of many neurotransmitters and neurohormones (some of which are endorphins, the “natural pain killing” hormones), relieving muscle spasms, stimulates nerves and activating the body’s own defense system. Imagine your furry friend feeling relief from chronic pain, experiencing a newfound sense of calm, or regaining mobility they once thought lost.

💜That's the magic of acupuncture. Each tiny needle and each energy point, when targeted and stimulated correctly in harmony with the body’s own rhythm of flow, carry with them the promise of healing and restoration, helping your pet live their best life.

🟣For the trypanophobia, sensitive or hyperactive clients that might not like the idea of needles or the idea of sitting still for long 🤪🐾🐾we target the sensitive areas or delicate wounds using a medical cold laser and / or a electrostimulation acupuncture machine alongside the traditional needles.
🟣At Panacea Vets, we're proud to offer the healing art of acupuncture as part of our comprehensive veterinary services.

When can acupuncture help❓

A partial list of conditions proven to respond to veterinary acupuncture includes:
• Hip dysplasia, Arthritis or degenerative joint disease
• Traumatic nerve injuries
• Lick granulomas
• Allergic skin conditions
• Disease of the spinal cord
• Behavioral issues
• Seizures /epilepsy
• Organ function disorders
• Asthma
• Immune function
• Geriatric support
• Support pets on their cancer journey
• Systemic inflammatory conditions
• Increase performance in competitive animals / horses.

🟣From mastering Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to acupuncture, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, pulse magnetic field therapy, and herbal medicine, Hilke believes healing isn't just about fixing what's broken; it's about nurturing the mind-body connection in both humans and animals.

✨Her educational journey extends from Germany to Brisbane, Australia and beyond, where she continuously explores new concepts in healing modalities.
