🐾✨ Welcome to the World, Little Ones! ✨🐾

There’s nothing quite as special as helping bring new life into the world! 🐶💕

This week, we had the joy of assisting with the safe delivery of a beautiful litter of puppies. Mom did an amazing job, and all the pups are healthy, happy, and already stealing hearts. 🍼🐾

We’re honored to be part of these precious first moments and look forward to supporting these pups as they grow strong and thrive.

💖 Whether it’s prenatal care, delivery, or postnatal support—we’re here every paw-step of the way.

Help us welcome these little miracles with some love in the comments! 🥰👇

🐶 Bones: Not Always a Treat! 🦴
We know dogs love to chew—but did you know giving your dog bones (especially cooked ones) can cause serious oral injuries and even emergency situations?

⚠️ Bones can:
🔹 Splinter and cut the gums, tongue, or throat
🔹 Get lodged between teeth or in the roof of the mouth
🔹 Crack or break teeth
🔹 Cause choking or digestive blockages

If your pup loves to chew, stick to vet-approved dental chews or toys designed for safe chewing.

📞 If your dog is drooling excessively, pawing at the mouth, or not eating after chewing on a bone, contact us immediately.

❤️ Let’s keep those tails wagging—and mouths pain-free!

🐾 : Did You Know? 🐶
Dogs can get sunburned too! ☀️😎
Just like humans, dogs can suffer from sunburn, particularly on their nose, ears, and belly. It is common especially those dogs with light-colored or thin fur.

🧴 Vet Tip: If your pup loves soaking up the sun, apply pet-safe sunscreen to exposed areas and provide plenty of shade during peak hours (10am–4pm).

🦠 What’s Hiding in Your Pet’s Ears? 🐶🐱
Today’s case spotlight: An ear smear revealed the presence of cocci bacteria, a common cause of ear infections in pets!

🔬 Ear smears are a simple but essential diagnostic tool we use to identify what’s behind those itchy, inflamed ears. By examining a sample under the microscope, we can spot bacteria, yeast, or inflammatory cells, helping us determine the right treatment quickly.

🧫 In this case, we found cocci, which are round-shaped bacteria often responsible for painful infections. Treatment involves:
✔️ Thorough ear cleaning
✔️ Prescription ear drops or antibiotics
✔️ Follow-up exams to ensure healing

🐾 If your pet is shaking their head, scratching their ears, or has a bad odor coming from them, don’t wait—those signs could point to a deeper issue.

🐾 Is Your Dog Skipping or Limping? It Might Be Patellar Luxation! 🦴

Patellar luxation is when the kneecap slips out of place. It's a common orthopedic issue in dogs, especially small breeds like Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and Yorkies. 🐶💔

⚠️ Signs to watch for:
• Intermittent limping or skipping
• Kicking a leg out to "pop" the kneecap back
• Stiffness after rest or play
• Decreased activity or reluctance to jump

👩‍⚕️ Early diagnosis is key! Left untreated, it can lead to pain, joint damage, or even arthritis.

✅ The good news is there are treatment options from lifestyle changes to surgery depending on the severity of the luxation.

This patient underwent surgery with Dr Marike Marais to correct the luxation, and it was a huge success! 💜🐶

📅 If you notice any of these signs, book a consultation with our vets today. We're here to keep your pets moving comfortably and happily!

🐶 What’s That Swelling on Your Dog’s Ear? It Could Be an Othaematoma! 🩺

Have you noticed a soft, squishy swelling on your dog’s ear flap? It might be an othaematoma, a pocket of blood that forms between the layers of the ear due to trauma, often caused by excessive scratching or head shaking.

👂 Why it happens:

Allergies or ear infections can cause irritation

Dogs shake their heads or scratch vigorously

Small blood vessels in the ear rupture, leading to a fluid-filled swelling

⚠️ What to do if you notice it:

Don’t wait bring your pup in for an exam by our veterinarians

Treatment may involve draining the hematoma and addressing the underlying cause (like an infection or allergy)

🐾 Left untreated, othaematoma can become painful and lead to permanent ear deformities.

📞 Call us today if you see swelling on your dog’s ear. We’re here to help keep those ears happy and healthy!
