Walmer Veterinary Hospital

Walmer Veterinary Hospital The aim of this page is to give you some insight into the philosophy and principles at Walmer Vet Please be assured of our best service at all times.

To get the most out of veterinary science one cannot only look at the clinical facts obtained from examining the animal alone. The synergism created when the owner, the vet and the animal all becomes part of the problem solving process has huge advantages. We therefore believe that it is imperative that we have an individual relationship with each of our clients and their pets/animals. It makes a

holistic approach to problem solving much easier and more attainable. We therefore encourage our clients to see the vet(s) of their choice during consultations, especially where follow-up consultations are needed. This, however, is only possible at a practice where staff turnover is low, and where the practice strikes a balance between having enough vets to cope with the work load, and having too many so that this individual approach is no longer possible. The same scenario is true for the rest of our staff โ€“ we want our clients to feel part of our practice, and feel at home with people that they know and trust. It will come as no surprise that the four vets at Walmer Vet have been there for an accumulative total of more than a hundred years, with most of the reception staff and hospital staff unchanged for the past fifteen years. It is a humbling realization that some of our clients have been with the practice longer than ourselves (Walmer Vet was established in 1964), and we find it especially rewarding that the boys and girls of yesterday often become clients of tomorrow. We hope and trust that we will meet your expectations at Walmer Vet. Veterinarians :

Did you know ...
The first monument dedicated to abandoned animals was built in 2010 and can be found on the boardwalk of Moana, in Galicia, Spain ... ?
This stone work pays tribute to homeless animals. The monument, besides being a symbol of compassion, reminds us of the importance of respect and responsibility towards animals without a family.
Please spay & neuter your pets and help your employees to do same.

Credits: Garotas en accion peru and Lela Soage, a woman whose life was dedicated to providing shelter and love to these abandoned beings.

Once, Inky was loved and part of a family. She adored her humans, specially the children.
Now, at the tender age of only 18 months she finds herself alone, lonely and in desperate need of a home.
Even though sweetj Inky is confused and sad, she just cannot resist a game with her kennel mates. She is super playful!

We apologise for these pics of a deceased (no visible injuries) Cape Dune mole rat. We try and use "real" pictures and not generic ones from the internet. These guys are very seldom seen and it took us quite a while to even identify it.
Did you know ...
Cape Dune Mole-rats are generally solitary with individual burrows ... ?
They eat underground roots and bulbs, as well as grasses and green forbs from above ground that they pull in to their burrows.
Cape Dune mole rats are considered an important "eco-engineer" by modifying soil properties in its habitat;
These little critters have a lifespan of approximately 6 years.

"Understanding who Vervet monkeys are, why they are โ€œhereโ€, what their behavior means, how to behave or not when they are around, and how to humanely keep them from those areas you donโ€™t want them to be, is key to a peaceful co-existence between humans and Vervet Monkeys!
Vervet Monkeys live in close-knit troops of 25 to 55 individuals, led and protected by the dominant male, within a fixed territory which the females never leave from birth till death and carry information about the territory (the troopโ€™s ancestral home) from one generation to the next.
The adult female monkeys in the troop, led by the alpha (dominant) female, dictate the day to day social dynamics of the troop which also functions within the parameters of a strictly enforced individual and clan hierarchy (โ€œpecking orderโ€).
Male Vervets leave their birth-troop when they become sexually mature and are nomadic till they are able to join another troop. The presence of a mature male Vervet in a troop is also temporary as he will leave, or be evicted from, his current troop a number of times during his adult life, even if he is the alpha (dominant) male in the troop.
Lone adult males are not โ€œroguesโ€, rather they are dispersing males looking for a new troop to join! Most mature females weigh between 3.5 and 5 kilograms, and mature males weigh between 5 and 7.5 kilograms, rarely reaching 8 kilograms!
Females give birth to a single baby, twins do occur but are rare and seldom survive, after an approximate six-month pregnancy.
Most Vervet babies are born during the period September to December, but occasional births can, and do, occur throughout the year.
Not all adult females in the troop have a baby in any given year. Observations by those who work in the field of Vervet Monkey protection, rescue and rehabilitation are of he opinion that due to the high infant mortality rate, possibly only one out of every four babies might live to adulthood.
Vervet monkeys are protected in terms of both national and provincial conservation legislation and also in terms of national animal protection legislation, and catching, possessing, translocating, injuring or killing a Vervet Monkey without official approval via an issued permit is an offence!"
