30/12/2024

New Yearโ€™s Eve celebrations can be overwhelming for cats, with fireworks, visitors, and changes to their routine. Stress in cats can lead to serious health issues, including urinary disease. Hereโ€™s how to keep your feline friends calm and safe this festive season:

1๏ธโƒฃ Prepare Their Safe Space:
Set up a quiet, secure room with your cat's favourite bed ๐Ÿ›๏ธ, toys ๐Ÿงธ, food, water ๐Ÿ’ง, and litter box. Close your cat in this safe space well in advance of visitors arriving or fireworks starting.

2๏ธโƒฃ Provide Hiding Spots:
Cats feel safest when they have places to hide ๐Ÿ›๏ธ. Provide cosy areas such as boxes ๐Ÿ“ฆ, blankets, or access to high shelves ๐Ÿชœ. These spaces allow them to retreat from children, visitors, or other pets.

3๏ธโƒฃ Use Signs on Doors:
Place signs on doors ๐Ÿšช to remind visitors not to enter rooms or leave certain doors open. This prevents accidental escapes ๐Ÿšซ and ensures your cat remains secure.

4๏ธโƒฃ Separate Cats and Dogs:
It's advised not to leave cats ๐Ÿฑ and dogs ๐Ÿถ together unsupervised on New Year's Eve. Even if your pets usually get along, stress can result in unexpected behaviour.

5๏ธโƒฃ Provide Separate Spaces for Cats Who Donโ€™t Get Along:
If your cats donโ€™t get along ๐Ÿ˜พ, avoid forcing them to share the same safe space. Create separate areas where each cat can feel secure without added tension.

6๏ธโƒฃ Follow the Golden Rule for Litter Trays:
Provide one litter tray per cat, plus one extra tray. Clean trays 2-3 times per day โ€” cats dislike using dirty litter boxes. Keep litter trays separate from food and water ๐Ÿ’ง bowls, as cats instinctively avoid eating or drinking near where they toilet.

7๏ธโƒฃ Provide Whisker-Friendly Bowls:
For extra feeding stations, use whisker-friendly bowlsโ€”shallow and wideโ€”so your catโ€™s sensitive whiskers donโ€™t touch the sides. This reduces discomfort and encourages eating and drinking.

8๏ธโƒฃ Start Calming Aids Early:
Calming pheromone sprays, pheromone diffusers and supplements can reduce your catโ€™s anxiety. It's best to start them a few days before New Yearโ€™s Eve for the best results. ๐Ÿ“ž Contact us today to find the right calming solution for your cat!

9๏ธโƒฃ Play Calming Music and Monitor Food and Water Intake:
Calming music ๐ŸŽต or white noise ๐Ÿ”Š can help mask loud fireworks ๐ŸŽ† or party sounds, creating a more relaxing atmosphere. Place alternative food and water bowls in low-traffic areas to encourage eating and drinking without stress. Offer soft, easily digestible food such as digestive-care pouches if your cat is not wanting to eat its usual food.

๐Ÿ”Ÿ Recognise Signs of Stress and Urinary Disease:
Stress can manifest as hiding ๐Ÿ›๏ธ, vomiting ๐Ÿคข, not drinking enough water ๐Ÿ’ง, excessive groomingโ€”or not grooming at all ๐Ÿพ.

Signs of urinary disease include straining or inability to urinate, inappropriate urination (for example on bedding ๐Ÿ›๏ธ ), vocalising in distress ๐Ÿ˜ฟ, showing pain when urinating ๐Ÿšจ.

Important: Male cats are at higher risk of urinary blockages due to their long, narrow urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body). These are all concerning symptoms and your cat will most likely need to be examined by a veterinarian asap!

๐Ÿ“ž Contact us today on 021 554 5877 for personalised advice on how to keep your cat calm and safe this New Yearโ€™s Eve. Weโ€™re here to help!

๐Ÿพ Letโ€™s make this New Yearโ€™s Eve peaceful and stress-free for all your pets. โœจ

๐ŸŒŸ A Day of Transformation and Growth at Bergzicht Animal Hospital with Khula Vet๐ŸŒฑ

We were thrilled to host the Khula Hospital Assistant Workshop on 20th October! It was an incredible day filled with learning, hands-on practice, and connection as we welcomed sixty enthusiastic Veterinary Hospital Assistants from across Cape Town and the surrounding areas, all eager to enhance their skills and deepen their veterinary knowledge. ๐Ÿ“šโœจ

The workshop, led by a team of veterinarians and vet nurses, featured a blend of theoretical training and practical demonstrations. The day began with an inspiring talk from guest speaker Desirรฉ Rees, who explored South Africaโ€™s rich cultural diversity and the positive impact of embracing it on teamwork in veterinary hospitals. ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ’ช

Dr. Charlotte shared essential training on zoonotic diseases, with a focus on rabies, alongside valuable insights into patient care and the veterinary business model. ๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿถ

Dr. Laura, veterinarian and animal behaviourist from Just Nuisance, brought her furry family to demonstrate stress-free handling and canine behaviour. She also discussed methods for managing stress in our feline patients, ensuring their comfort in a hospital setting. ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’™

Sr. Chanรฉ presented a session on surgical kit preparation, instrument and clipper care, and proper cleaning and disinfection techniques, emphasising the importance of gold-standard practices in sterility and hygiene. ๐Ÿงผ๐Ÿ’‰

At the diagnostic imaging station, Sr. Carla reminded everyone about radiography safety and covered optimal positioning and collimation to ensure accurate image quality. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿพ

One of the dayโ€™s highlights was a series of practical canine castrations performed by Dr. Claude and Dr. Rhines. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’› This hands-on demonstration covered gold-standard patient prep, anaesthetic monitoring, and sterile practices in the theatre โ€“ an invaluable learning experience for all! ๐Ÿฉบโœจ We extend our thanks to The WOW Project for their incredible welfare work, arranging the four patients who received sponsored sterilisations.

Our practice manager Hermien and hospital operations coordinator Dheral were absolute stars helping to arrange and coordinate the logistics for the day!

A huge thank you to Khula Vet for the impactful workshop and to the fantastic sponsors, Hill's Pet Nutrition and Elanco Animal Health, for their support in making it possible. Together, weโ€™re advancing excellence in veterinary care! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฉบ

Dr Rhines recently had the pleasure of visiting a local school to bring a hands-on, interactive experience to the kids. She brought along some wonderful animals and spent the day teaching the students about animal care, the role of a vet, and the importance of compassion towards all living creatures.

It was a fantastic day filled with learning and fun! A big thank you to the school for welcoming us and to the kids for their enthusiastic participation. We hope they walked away with a newfound appreciation for animals and perhaps even a spark of interest in veterinary medicine! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฐ
