📣 Exciting News! 📣

Join us in welcoming Dr. Anna Bowker to the Cape Vet family! 🌟 She is joining us on a part-time basis to assist while Dr. Lee is away on maternity leave 🤰🏼

“I’m thrilled to be joining the wonderful team at Cape Vet! I’ve been fortunate that my 16-year journey as an equine vet has taken me from the KZN Midlands to various corners of the world, combining a passion for horses, equine welfare, veterinary medicine, and travel. I recently moved back to SA, this time to the beautiful Western Cape, and am loving the outdoor lifestyle that the Cape has to offer.

Although I enjoy all aspects of equine veterinary care, I have a special interest in reproduction, and hold a CertAVP in Equine Stud Medicine from the University of Liverpool. I currently serve as a remote veterinary advisor for a global NGO called SPANA, supporting working animals worldwide. I am delighted to be joining Cape Vet on a part-time basis and look forward to working with the team (and meeting all of our lovely patients!🐴)”

Dr. Anna will be on call starting this weekend, ready to bring her expertise and passion to our wonderful clients and their horses. Let’s give her a warm welcome! 🎉

Dr Lezanne Gunter is a veterinary Acupuncturist. Call our office on 021 712 2290 to find out more.

This poor guy got a major impaction. Fortunately for him, Dr Lee was on call and managed to get it moving with drenching and dripping.

With the cold weather setting in, don't forget to make sure your horses are drinking enough water. Maintenance water intake is around 60ml per kg body weight per day. This equates to about 30litres per day for a 500kg horse.

Addition of plain salt (table salt) can help to encourage water intake.

Cape Vet Team going the extra mile to put your horse first.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
