…(the one who came to us with hookworm, anaemia and mange) is in his foster home while he gets better. He's hoovered up his meals, laid claim to a couch, barked indignantly at the gardener (who patted him reassuringly) and only peed on the floor once.

Vipes came to us with hookworm, anaemia and mange. But now his gums are pink, his skin is healing and his tail has remembered how to wag… a lot! It will take a few weeks for his hair to regrow, but his skin and coat are now soft and glowing.

Vipes is almost ready to go to a foster home where he will get the most important treatment of all: love.

…this 2kg puppy has survived. He came to us last week with severe seizures. These seizures did not respond to treatment and he had to be put under general anaesthesia for several hours to allow his brain to rest.

Patients often don't survive this condition, but this one has bounced back with ease. He is eating with gusto and growing like a champ.

With his medical history, he needs a family 𝐰͟𝐡͟𝐨͟ ͟𝐮͟𝐧͟𝐝͟𝐞͟𝐫͟𝐬͟𝐭͟𝐚͟𝐧͟𝐝͟ ͟𝐡͟𝐢͟𝐬͟ ͟𝐜͟𝐨͟𝐧͟𝐝͟𝐢͟𝐭͟𝐢͟𝐨͟𝐧͟ ͟𝐚͟𝐧͟𝐝͟ ͟𝐭͟𝐡͟𝐞͟ ͟𝐫͟𝐢͟𝐬͟𝐤͟𝐬͟ ͟𝐚͟𝐧͟𝐝͟ ͟𝐫͟𝐞͟𝐬͟𝐩͟𝐨͟𝐧͟𝐬͟𝐢͟𝐛͟𝐢͟𝐥͟𝐢͟𝐭͟𝐲͟.

…Vipes has mange caused by the Demodex mite and is fighting a severe hookworm infestation that has caused anaemia. Brought to us by Borcherds Paws, he is being treated with antiseptic baths every second day, Nexgard for the mange, deworming and antibiotics. Vipes has a long road ahead, but – with time and love – he'll be wagging his tail again soon 🐾

Ruda and her fantastic team from Ruda's Grooming gave up their Saturday to teach the PDSA, and our friends from CAT Garden Route and the Hoekwil Humane Society, about grooming techniques, tools and shampoos, and how to apply them to animals with different coats 🐾 Lots of fun was had sprucing up Wh**ey and Sniffyboy, both kindly fetched from Touwsranten by Vanessa from the Hoekwil Humane Society 🐾 The pooches left looking and feeling fabulous, and the PDSA is excited to use the tools that Ruda kindly donated to us 🐾 A great team effort!

…to hear that Tspoon – a pup we met on a recent outreach to Kleinkranz – has made a full recovery from parvovirus.

"I can't thank the incredible team at PDSA enough," says Tspoon's owner Jacqui, "especially Vanessa, who went above and beyond to care for my furry girl.

"Your dedication, expertise and compassion meant the world to me during a very scary time. But it didn't stop there: the aftercare and moral support I received from the PDSA team was just as vital in Tspoon's recovery. Your guidance and encouragement helped me navigate the challenging aftermath of Parvo, and I'm forever grateful.

"Thank you, PDSA, for giving me my happy, healthy pup back!"

With 56 dogs sterilised (and cats still being done), our spayathon in Touwstanten showed what we as a community can achieve when we pull together, and what we can learn from each other.

We hope that this is just a first step and that the next one will be bigger and even better!

𝐇𝐔𝐆𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐒 to the professionals who gave their time: Sr Nelene Boltman • Sr Elbe Boshoff • Petra Clark • Ruana Coertze • Sr Cheri Cooke • Melanie de Morney • Samantha Fish • Elna Hardnick • Sr Hollie • Lili Isidoro-Rothman • Alta Koekemoer • Dr Kayleigh-Jean Legg • Natasha Loots • Vanessa Lucas • Dr Stephanie Mallory • Dr Suzanne Muller • Logan Ngubane • Dr Renee Perold • Dr Shaun Sagor • Dr Shirley Searle • Dr Laura Snyman • Robin Teifel • Viona Terblanche Olieslager • Wessel Vermeulen • Dr Mala Wilkens

Many thanks also to Drs Johan and Jeanne-Marié Eksteen of the Knysna Veterinary Clinic for their support

We could not have held an event of this scale without the hard work of the teams from the Hoekwil Humane Society, the Garden Route SPCA and CAT Garden Route – plus our very own PDSA team. Thank you very much to all involved

Thank you, too, to all the volunteers who cleaned, served food, manned the stalls and sat with the dogs while they recovered

And we were blessed with generous sponsors, whose support for animal welfare we very much appreciate and never take for granted: (renierprins.com) • dotsure.co.za • F10 Products • Garden Route Lifestyle Property • • Montego Pet Nutrition • Palm Tyre George • Pet and Pool Warehouse • (tuiniqua.org.za) • (vetscripts.co.za) • (vitalvet.co.za)

🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You 🌟
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Vanessa from the PDSA in George for her exceptional care and support during a challenging time for our beloved Tspoon. Dealing with Parvovirus was incredibly tough, but Vanessa's dedication and compassion makes all the difference. Not only does she provide top-notch medical attention, but also invaluable emotional support. I am immensely grateful for her kindness and professionalism, as well as for the incredible work done by the entire organization. Tspoon IS on the road to recovery, and I know it wouldn't have been possible without Vanessa and the PDSA. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! So grateful.
