Thankfully, with proper treatment and some TLC, Coco is now mite-free and wagging his tail again! 🐾💖 Ear mites are highly contagious among pets, so early detection is key.

🚨Hudson's back at it again! 🚨 After arriving infested with mango worms and later catching a fish hook in his lip (ouch!), he decided to up the ante by snacking on some rodenticide (dicoumarin). 😳 Dicoumarins in rodenticides prevent blood clotting, leading to dangerous internal bleeding in dogs. Quick veterinary intervention is crucial to induce vomiting and start treatment before serious complications occur. His owner, ever the vigilant hero, rushed him to us within an hour, and we quickly induced vomiting. Thankfully, we got it out in time, but Hudson’s adventure didn’t end there—we had to monitor his clotting for weeks. While Hudson’s antics may keep us on our toes, this is a serious reminder to keep toxins and dangerous objects far away from your curious pets. 🐾 Let’s keep our furry friends safe (and out of trouble), even if they're as bold as Hudson!

🐾🌾 Grass Seed Alert! 🌾🐾 Summer means more outdoor fun, but watch out for those sneaky grass seeds (or "awns")! They can latch onto your dog's fur and burrow into the skin, causing irritation and even infection. After each walk or play session, give your pup a good brush to remove any hitchhikers. A little care can keep your dog happy, healthy, and seed-free! 🐕💚 #DurbanvilleVet #PatientHero #CaseOfTheWeek #FeelGoodFriday #VeterinaryCare #PetCare #GrassSeedSeason

Here’s Sr. Jess, showing her dedication by getting right down on the floor to remove Millie’s sutures! Nothing stops her from making sure our patients are comfortable and relaxed—even if it means taking care of business at ground level. 🐾💉 #DurbanvilleVet #TransformationTuesday #TuesdayTreat

Hunter had a special date with his favourite vet nurse, Sr. Christel, who he absolutely adores! He lights up every time he sees her, especially when it’s time for his ear rubs. 🐾 Love you, Sr Christel! 🌞👂🐶 Ear infections in dogs are common, especially in spring and summer. Regular ear cleaning and strict compliance with treatment are key to preventing pain and chronic issues. Keep those ears clean for a happy, healthy pup! #DurbanvilleVet #CaseOfTheWeek #PatientHero #FeelGoodFriday #FridayFun #FridayFunday #FlashbackFriday #FearlessFriday
