This mommy dog experienced complications during birth and had to be rushed to the vet for a c-section. Afterward, she was sterilized to prevent further risks. When planning to breed your dog or if pregnancy is suspected, it’s crucial to involve your vet from the very beginning. We can assist throughout the process, offering ultrasounds, X-rays to track the number of puppies, and ensuring they’re not too large, or preventing any other complications during birth.
We also provide advice on diet, what to look out for, and guidance through the steps of labor.
So remember, if your dog was on heat and was mated, you should see us four weeks later for a check-up.

A special little visitor trotted into Van Wijk Street Vet today!
This adorable one-year-old miniature horse came in for a general health check, and we couldn’t resist sharing the moment with you. Miniature horses may be small in size, but they have big personalities and need the same care and attention as their larger counterparts.
It’s always exciting to see unique patients like this one, reminding us that our practice truly treats a variety of animals—big, small, and everything in between!
