Bambi, a little lamb just three weeks old, recently visited us at Ebervet Pet Clinic with quite a remarkable story. She was discovered by a kind-hearted family who rescued her from the side of the busy N2, where she was found all alone with no mother in sight. Concerned for her wellbeing, they brought her to us to learn how to properly care for her, hoping to eventually integrate her into a new herd. Dr Bennie provided the family with all the necessary information to raise Bambi successfully. We are deeply grateful to this generous family for opening their hearts and home to Bambi.

We are pleased to report that Cindy is adjusting remarkably well to life on three legs and will soon be available for adoption through Helderberg Animal Welfare.

🚨 Cape of Good Hope SPCA Cautions Public Following Confirmation of Rabies in Local Seal
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA urges the public to exercise caution following confirmation from the Western Cape Provincial Veterinary Services of a rabies case in a Cape Fur Seal along our coastline.
The affected seal was found off the coast at Big Bay and died on May 22, 2024, with laboratory results confirming rabies earlier today. A further two suspected cases from different areas are pending confirmation.
Rabies is a serious viral disease that can affect mammals, including humans, and is typically transmitted through bites or scratches from an infected animal. Rabies can also be contracted if the saliva from an infected animal comes into contact with the mucous membranes (eyes, nose or mouth).
We advise beachgoers and pet owners to take the following precautions 👇🏼

Peria**l Fistulas in Dogs
Peria**l fistulas, also known as a**l furunculosis, are a severe medical condition primarily affecting German Shepherd dogs, though they can occur in other breeds as well. The term "peria**l" refers to the area surrounding the a**s, while a fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between two tissues, organs, or vessels that are not typically connected.
In dogs with peria**l fistulas, infections usually develop in the peria**l region, accompanied by one or more draining tracts. The early stages of the condition may show few clinical signs, making it challenging to detect. As the disease progresses, affected dogs may strain during defecation, exhibit blood in their f***s, and show a decreased appetite. These dogs often lick excessively at their tail and re**al regions, may be reluctant to sit, and could exhibit behavioural changes such as withdrawal or aggression when the tail or hindquarters are touched.
The exact cause of peria**l fistulas remains unclear, but several factors are believed to contribute to the condition. These include impaction or infection of the a**l sacs, poor air circulation around the a**l region, and autoimmune disease. Additionally, there is a genetic component, as the condition tends to occur in certain families of German Shepherds.
Treatment typically involves a combination of medical management and, in some cases, surgical intervention. Cyclosporine is often the treatment of choice, and initiating therapy early can lead to better outcomes. If you suspect your dog might have peria**l fistulas, it is crucial to consult a veterinarian promptly.
By recognising the signs and seeking early veterinary care, owners can help manage this painful condition and improve their dogs' quality of life.

Fading Kitten Syndrome (FKS) is a condition that affects newborn kittens, typically within the first few weeks of life. It's also known as Kitten Mortality Syndrome.
Here's a brief summary:
- Causes: FKS can be caused by a combination of factors, including poor nutrition, genetics, and infections.
- Symptoms: Kittens may appear healthy at birth but soon become weak, lethargic, and lose weight. They may also have difficulty nursing or show signs of infection.
- Treatment: Early detection and veterinary care are crucial. Treatment may include antibiotics, nutritional support, and fluid therapy.
- Prevention: Ensuring the mother's health and nutrition during pregnancy, providing a clean environment, and monitoring the kittens' health closely can help prevent FKS.
If you're concerned about your kitten's health, consult with your veterinarian for guidance and support.
Five-month-old Dolly, the Spaniel, visited us for her spay. She looked adorable with light tufts of fur on the sides of her muzzle. Feeling a bit sleepy when the photo was taken, our Veterinary Technician, Rene, gently assisted her by holding up her head.

Introducing Jack, a tenacious feline who faced a challenging ordeal. Jack was discovered entangled in a spiked fence, his right hind and front legs ensnared. Upon examination by Dr Bennie, it was revealed that he had sustained a Salter-Harris Type 1 fracture of the right distal femur physis, commonly known as the growth plate of the bottomof the thigh bone. The injury was compounded by extensive damage to the thigh muscles, with the femur tearing through them. To address this, our skilled team at Ebervet Pet Clinic performed surgery to realign the fracture, stabilizing it with cross-pins.
Jack's injuries weren't limited to his limbs; the cuts on his right hind and front paws were severe, slicing straight through the flesh and causing damage to the ligaments. Despite the severity of his wounds, Jack was fortunate. Through meticulous care and surgical intervention, we successfully stitched up all injuries, ensuring he retained function in all his limbs.
Despite the odds stacked against him, Jack showed remarkable resilience. By the next morning, he was already displaying signs of improvement, even attempting to move around despite his injuries. Jack's journey serves as a testament to the dedication of our team at Ebervet Pet Clinic in providing compassionate care and achieving positive outcomes for our furry companions, whether feline or canine.

Perianal Fistulas in Dogs Perianal fistulas, also known as anal furunculosis, are a severe medical condition primarily affecting German Shepherd dogs, though they can occur in other breeds as well. The term "perianal" refers to the area surrounding the anus, while a fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between two tissues, organs, or vessels that are not typically connected. In dogs with perianal fistulas, infections usually develop in the perianal region, accompanied by one or more draining tracts. The early stages of the condition may show few clinical signs, making it challenging to detect. As the disease progresses, affected dogs may strain during defecation, exhibit blood in their feces, and show a decreased appetite. These dogs often lick excessively at their tail and rectal regions, may be reluctant to sit, and could exhibit behavioural changes such as withdrawal or aggression when the tail or hindquarters are touched. The exact cause of perianal fistulas remains unclear, but several factors are believed to contribute to the condition. These include impaction or infection of the anal sacs, poor air circulation around the anal region, and autoimmune disease. Additionally, there is a genetic component, as the condition tends to occur in certain families of German Shepherds. Treatment typically involves a combination of medical management and, in some cases, surgical intervention. Cyclosporine is often the treatment of choice, and initiating therapy early can lead to better outcomes. If you suspect your dog might have perianal fistulas, it is crucial to consult a veterinarian promptly.

On Sunday, April 28th, we celebrate Superhero Day, and there's no better time to honour our very own superhero, Sam, here at Ebervet Pet Clinic.

With a heart of pure gold, Sam embodies the essence of selflessness, always ready to extend a helping hand and brighten our days with her infectious joy. Without Sam, our clinic would simply not be the same. She brings order to chaos, infusing every moment with her warmth and wisdom. Her unwavering dedication is the driving force behind every successful steri day, ensuring that our furry friends receive the care they deserve. But Sam's impact extends far beyond the walls of our clinic. She touches the lives of everyone she meets, spreading love and positivity wherever she goes. Her generosity knows no bounds, and her presence lights up even the darkest of days. Today, and every day, we celebrate Sam – our real-life superhero – for the incredible person she is and the difference she makes in our lives. Thank you, Sam, for being the guiding light that brightens our path. You truly are our hero.
Snoop's owner brought him to us when he noticed Snoop wasn't eating and seemed very lethargic. Dr Esmaré conducted a thorough examination and unfortunately found that Snoop was suffering from severe jaundice, with his liver enzymes off the charts. We made the decision to admit Snoop to the hospital for immediate treatment. Dr Esmaré inserted a feeding tube through Snoop's neck to ensure he received the necessary nutrition and medication. With a combination of fluid therapy, antibiotics, and a carefully monitored feeding schedule through the tube, we're pleased to report that Snoop is showing signs of improvement every day. We understand that the bandages holding the feeding tube in place can be uncomfortable for Snoop, so our clinic coordinator, Sam, has been providing him with some much-needed relief from the itchiness. We're keeping a close eye on Snoop's progress and remain hopeful that he will be able to return home soon.
Femoral head amputation sounds scary but thanks to Dr Bennie's surgical skills Milu is recovering beautifully. This poor angel found herself in a bit of a pickle after an unfortunate incident led to a dislocated femur (the thigh bone) and hip joint, along with a severed ligament. But fear not! Dr Bennie and his remarkable orthopaedic surgical skills came to her rescue at Ebervet Pet Clinic. With precision and expertise, Dr Bennie performed a femoral head amputation surgery, which involves removing the femoral head (the rounded end of the thigh bone) to allow the femur to slip back into place within the hip socket. Already, Milu is feeling much happier and more comfortable post-surgery. With the caring support of our passionate team at Ebervet Pet Clinic, we anticipate a full recovery once the bruising and swelling subside. A huge round of applause to Dr Bennie and the entire team for yet another successful surgical triumph! See the incredible works of Dr Bennie in the video below. #petcare #surgicalsuccess #ebervetpetclinic #strand #helderberg #femoralheadamputation #catsoffacebook

New Year Resolutions for pet owners. New Year Resolutions can be tough to keep but where our pets are concerned they can also save us heart ache and expensive vets’ bills during the year. Here’s our list of favourites: 1. Schedule annual pet checkups before January ends to detect early signs of disease. 2. Adjust your pet's care as they age, considering diet changes and modified exercise routines. 3. Keep vaccinations up to date for protection against contagious diseases. 4. Ensure your pet is microchipped to increase the chances of reunion if they go missing. 5. Create a parasite protection calendar to remember treatments and prevent health issues. 6. Commit to being a better pet parent by providing daily walks, playtime, and proper care. 7. Prioritize dental health; book regular appointments and establish a daily dental routine. 8.

On Guy Fawkes, it's essential to ensure the safety and comfort of your pets. Here are some tips: 1.Keep Your Pets Indoors: Ensure your pets are inside the house to protect them from the noise and potential hazards. 2.Use Sound Dampening: Play calming music or keep the TV on at a moderate volume to drown out the loud noises from fireworks. 3.Close Windows and Curtains: This helps minimize the visual and auditory stimulation from fireworks. 4.Create a Safe Haven: Designate a quiet and secure area in your home where your pet can seek refuge if they feel anxious. 5.Consider Calming Solutions: If your pet is particularly anxious, consult with a veterinarian about possible calming medications or techniques. 6.Show Love and Reassurance: Offer your pets plenty of affection and comforting gestures to reassure them during the festivities. Remember, taking these precautions can help make Guy Fawkes a less stressful time for your furry friends. #saynotofireworks #guyfawkes #pets #ebervet
