Celebrating Vet Nurses Day - Friday October 11th 2024
To our tireless and caring team of nurses that make everything we do at MalagaVet possible. You may not physically see it but is their dedication, compassion, and expertise that vet nurses bring to the practice that keeps us operating. Veterinary nurses are the heartbeat of the veterinary practice. From providing critical care to animals in need, to offering unwavering support to pet owners, their roles are pivotal in ensuring the highest standard of care for your pets.

In a small private practice like MalagaVet our team is like a family to us. Long term members that you might know like Chris and Lisa are the rock solid foundation we've built on. Newer team members like Lauren, Andrew, Jordarna and Taylah are learning the craft from their more experienced colleagues. All of our nurses are passionate about helping your pets as healthy as they can be, and giving you comfort that your pets are in loving hands from the moment you step through the front door. So from the bottom of my heart to my nurses, thank you so much for your dedication to the animals and it is a pleasure to spend my working life with such wonderful, caring people.

Enjoy the photo collage of our wonderful team in action....

A smiling dog face to brighten your day! 1 year old Finn is a greyhound cross dog who has definitely found his niche and some stripey pyjamas to go with it!
Don't let the picture fool you, there's plenty of mischief and mayhem behind those eyes!!

Bones - to give or not to give....that is the question....
This is a topic that can evoke heated discussions as to should you or shouldn't you feed bones to pets?
Our job is to let you know the potential risks of feeding bones in the cases we actually see and treat.
Recently our patient Dudley (the big fella looking at me!) was lucky that the 4cm long piece of bone he swallowed was able to be removed, along with 10cm of intestine that had become necrotic. Thankfully, he has made a full recovery from this major surgery. His dedicated owner had pet insurance which helped immensely to cover the cost of his intensive care.
Not all patients are as fortunate, so please just think carefully before feeding bones to your pets. And yes - get pet insurance!

Super Senior Pet of the week - Introducing 19 year old Ollie ! Doesn't he look amazing for such an old gentleman cat ?!

Likes: People. He'll plonk himself down right in the middle of any gathering, big or small.
Dislikes: Whistling. He once came in from another room just to scratch me in the face to make me stop. (He's now gone mostly deaf, though, so he probably wouldn't be bothered anymore.)
Favourite Food: Canned tuna. Or possibly cake. We can't have either without him pestering us for some.
Favourite Pastime: Sleeping on my desk while I work.
Favourite Toy: Probably the laser pointer.
Naughtiest habit: We can't have plants in the house – he'll eat them.

Saying goodbye to our much loved patients is never easy, but is a daily occurrence in the life of vets and vet nurses. What makes this bearable is the knowledge of how much this is appreciated by our clients, to be of service at what can be the most difficult time. To every one of our clients that has said thank you - your words mean more to us than you could possibly know
