Has anyone seen Tom? Our very shy and retiring clinic cat went missing from 63 Beach Road earlier this week. We believe it might have been the first time he had ventured outside despite having been here for several months. He is a largish black cat with a white undercoat and is nervous of strangers. If anyone has seen him please contact us on 043 735 1456.

Dr Wood would like to share the x-rays of the Crowned Crane that was rescued near Meise's Halt a couple of weeks ago. A clear fracture is visible. We believe that the bird is convalescing well in a specially -constructed enclosure at Settlers Retirement Village in Gonubie. 😊

This little girl was picked up on the BB side of Batting Bridge a short while ago. We unfortunately can't accommodate her here as we have a patient with parvo. Hilltop Animal Outreach has been fantastic and one of their foster mothers has very kindly collected her. Please contact Tanith on 060 4022 822 if you are missing your pup.

These two big, beautiful boys, in the prime of life, are looking for a new home. They are a little shy initially, but once they get to know you they can't get enough attention. Please contact us if you are able to offer them a permanent home; they have been in a cage in our hospital for quite some time now.

Welcome back to work, Dr Wood. 😊🦎🦜🐱🐶

Getting up close and personal with this spectacular Sparrowhawk. He is spending some time with us rehabilitating after being found collapsed last week.

Good news! A week ago we welcomed Dr Sue Willetts who is stepping in while Dr Wood is off. Dr Sue has a wealth of knowledge in small animal practice and is happy to turn her hand to wildlife and exotics as well. She keeps up to date with new and innovative treatments and brings with her some interesting and alternative approaches to common veterinary problems.
We are open as usual for consultations and procedures, but by appointment only.

This little boy is still looking for his forever home.

25/06/2024

This little chap was dropped off with us a few weeks ago suffering from severe mange. He is now on the mend and flourishing in a foster home, but needs a permanent person. He is a little shy, but very affectionate and playful once he knows you. He is accustomed to other dogs and cats and just craves love and attention. We aren't sure how big he is likely to grow, but it is unlikely that he will be larger than small/medium. Please contact us on 043 735 1456 if you are keen to offer him a forever home.

To our clients: Dr Wood has injured his Achilles tendon and needs to have surgery. As a result, he will be off work for a number of weeks. Saturday morning 22nd June we will have Dr Baragwanath available to see patients. We are trying to find a locum vet to work with us while Dr Wood is away. Please call us for an update on whether we have a vet available.
