Clinic visits aren’t just about check‑ups — sometimes they’re about showing off good behaviour too 🐾✨. Tilly reminded us that rewards, timing, and praise go a long way in training. At Vetcross Umvoti, we’re here to guide both pets and their people toward healthier, happier habits!

Sometimes we have the privilege of working with wildlife, and when that happens, we are deeply grateful for the support of FreeMe Wildlife. Their dedicated team is always ready to advise us on medical stabilization and prognosis, and when a case is beyond our scope—or involves a species requiring a special license to hold, even temporarily—the wonderful staff at FreeMe step in without hesitation.

Just this past Friday, concerned teachers from Greytown Secondary brought us a beautiful juvenile barn owl that had fallen (or perhaps been pushed) from its nest. After watching for some time and realizing no parent bird was returning, they carefully collected the owlet and brought it to us. Once we confirmed there were no injuries, we contacted FreeMe to take over its care. We kept the little one safe, warm, and fed overnight, and the following day those same teachers kindly transported the owlet to Free Me, where it will be raised until it is ready for release.

Cases like this bring a wonderful variety to our daily work, and we remain committed to giving each animal the best possible chance. While not every case has such a hopeful outcome (the owlet still has a journey ahead before it can return to the wild), we always provide medical support until transfer or release is possible—or humane euthanasia, if that is the kindest option.

We want to sincerely thank our clients and the public for your ongoing help and support—whether by bringing animals to us or assisting with transport to FreeMe. If you’d like to help in the future, please keep an eye on our reception WhatsApp statuses at 0334172073. Lifts to Howick, Pietermaritzburg, or anywhere in between are always appreciated in the effort to save these special wild lives.

Admin days are tough… luckily, we’ve got furry assistants to lend a paw 🐾💻. Sometimes our doctors need a little extra support with paperwork, and Tilly was more than happy to help!
