💛 Frankie’s Journey: From Burn Victim to Brave Fighter 💛

Meet Frankie – a sweet soul who came to us as a welfare case from Hoedspruit AnimaL Outreach after suffering severe burns. His road to recovery has been nothing short of incredible. With weeks of intensive care, love, and determination, Frankie’s wounds healed beautifully – and so did his spirit. 🐾

But Frankie wasn’t quite out of the woods. As he recovered, we noticed some unusual neurological signs. Thanks to Dr. Debbie English at ProVet Animal Hospital and the amazing team at , we were able to take things a step further. Frankie underwent a full MRI scan, which revealed two cysts and a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia – explaining his quirky movements and behavior.

The best news? Frankie remains full of life, love, and tail wags – and is getting the monitoring and support he needs.

Thanks to our partnership with Hoedspruit Private Hospital, your pets can also benefit from advanced diagnostic tools like MRI and CT scans, right here through ProVet Animal Hospital - with full radiological reports of the scans. We're proud to offer this level of care in the Lowveld – because every pet deserves their best chance.

Go Frankie! 💪🐶✨

🐾Meet Dr. Olivia McMurray – Part time veterinarian🐾

Born and raised in Nelspruit, Dr. Olivia spent much of her childhood between the Lowveld towns of Nelspruit and Hoedspruit—where her love for animals and wild places first began. From a young age, she was drawn to veterinary medicine—collecting blood slides from the local vet to inspect under her toy microscope, fascinated by the unseen world beneath the lens.

After graduating from Onderstepoort in 2016 and completing her community service year along the Kruger Park border, Olivia embraced the flexibility of locum work—using it as a way to explore South Africa, follow her creative passions, and contribute to conservation efforts.

Her heart has always been in the Lowveld, and two years ago she made the decision to call Hoedspruit home. Now working more permanently with the Provet team, she brings not only her clinical expertise, but a deep commitment to the animals, people, and wild spaces of this region.

When she’s not in the clinic, Olivia serves on the board of a local conservation NGO, teaches hands-on conservation courses for vet students, and finds joy in photography, art, writing, and time spent in nature.

🐾Meet Dr. Bart Gazendam – Locum Veterinarian🐾

Dr. Bart was born and raised in the Netherlands, but has been working in South Africa for the past four years.

He began his veterinary career with a strong focus on equine medicine and surgery, practicing in both the Netherlands and the UK. However, after a few years, he felt it was time for a change. Since childhood, Dr. Bart had dreamed of becoming a "safari veterinarian"—and that dream gradually became a reality.

Earlier this year, he completed his residency and became a SAVC-recognized specialist (MMedVet) in Wildlife Medicine & Disease.

When he's not working, Dr. Bart enjoys spending time outdoors—hiking, running, or simply exploring nature. At home, he shares life with his partner, Gina, who also works in the veterinary field, making for some very interesting dinner conversations.

Although Dr. Bart focuses primarily on equine care and wildlife, you will be seeing more of him at Provet where he will be helping out with our smaller furry patients.

Welcome Dr Bart!

When she’s not helping care for your beloved pets, you’ll likely find her soaking up the outdoors or spending quality time with her close-knit family – something that remains a big part of her life.

🐾Meet Dr. Debbie English – Veterinary Surgeon & Pangolin Specialist🐾

If you’ve visited Provet Animal Hospital with your beloved pet, chances are you’ve met Dr. Debbie English – our primary companion animal veterinarian and surgeon.

With her exceptional skills and heartfelt approach, she provides everything from routine care to complex surgeries – always with a calm, holistic, and empathetic touch.

Born and raised in the Kruger National Park, Debbie knew she wanted to be a vet from a young age. After graduating from Onderstepoort in 2017, she completed her community service year in the Lowveld and quickly found her professional home here at Provet.

Her interests are as diverse as her skills – she loves working with companion animals, wildlife, exotics, and equines, but what truly sets her apart is her remarkable work with pangolins. She’s one of the few pangolin specialists in South Africa, and her dedication to this endangered species is nothing short of inspiring.

Outside the clinic, Debbie’s vibrant spirit shines through in her love for birding, getting creative with art, and soaking up nature on scenic getaways with her husband, Ruan.

🐘TALES OF HOEDSPRUIT🐘

Ntombi’s Journey: From Rescue to the Wild

Please note: All pangolins are housed offsite at a secure and undisclosed location for their safety and ours.

In April, a female pangolin—now named Ntombi—was rescued from the illegal wildlife trade by the Limpopo Pangolin Collective, and four poachers were arrested. Remarkably, Ntombi was pregnant, so two lives were saved that day.

Though she arrived dehydrated and underweight, she was a fighter. After receiving treatment at Provet she then spent some time being rehabilitated at Umoya Khulula, where she made an incredible recovery.

Today, Ntombi is back in the wild, being carefully monitored and doing exceptionally well—healthy, strong, and thriving.

A huge thank you to all of our loyal supporters for helping us make these incredible success stories possible.
