🦷🐾 HVH Dental Special - Dental Health Matters🐾🦷
We’re excited to offer our dental special at Hilton Veterinary Hospital – and it’s one you don’t want to miss!
This incredible package includes:
✔️ Pre-anaesthetic bloods
✔️ A comprehensive dental CT scan
✔️ A full scale and polish

Unlike standard X-rays, our CT scan technology provides 3D imaging, giving us a much clearer, detailed view of your pet’s teeth, roots, and jawbone. This means we can detect hidden issues early—like infections or bone loss—before they become painful (and expensive) problems down the line.

✨ Huge savings, expert care, and cutting-edge technology—all in one incredible offer.
📞 Call us now on 033 343 4602 to book your pet’s dental special with Dr. Sarah Halgreen.

Sometimes, it IS brain surgery.

Meet Sniper – a much loved English Bulldog who recently came to Hilton Veterinary Hospital with breathing difficulties and signs of intense pain. While brachycephalic dogs like Sniper often struggle with BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome), something didn’t quite add up.

Sniper’s head bobbed abnormally, and he showed significant discomfort, especially with neck movement. Our specialist team took a closer look – and what we found was both surprising and concerning.

A full-body MRI revealed a large tumour in the left hemisphere of his brain.

Thanks to the expertise of our team of 3 veterinary specialists, including Dr Kenneth Joubert, Dr Martin de Scally and Dr Sara Boyd, Sniper underwent a successful 4-hour brain surgery to remove the tumour completely.

And the results? Remarkable.

By the next day, Sniper was standing and drinking on his own. A few days later, with the help of our dedicated handlers, he was outside stretching his legs. Then after two months of focused rehabilitation, he was walking and running unaided and full of personality once more.

We’re so proud of our incredible veterinary team and grateful to Sniper’s family for trusting us with his care.

Because here at Hilton Veterinary Hospital, healing is more than medicine – it’s a team effort, powered by compassion and skill.

🐶🐱 Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) – A Serious, But Treatable Condition!
Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) is a group of anatomical abnormalities in the upper airways of brachycephalic (short-nosed) dogs and cats that causes breathing difficulties. Breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Persian Cats are particularly prone to this life-threatening condition. Yet, 99% of owners, breeders, and even veterinarians struggle to correctly diagnose, grade the severity, or treat it effectively.
At Hilton Veterinary Hospital & Specialist Referral Centre, we use advanced endoscopic techniques to accurately assess and surgically correct airway
obstructions in a single sedation. Our approach identifies up to 24 linked conditions, improving not just breathing but overall quality of life.
Results Matter!
• Previously established with standard surgery: a 15% airway improvement
• Our more beneficial, specialized techniques: a 75% improvement in exercise ability & quality of life!
🐾 Early intervention is key!
For the best outcomes, we recommend evaluation and correction from 12 weeks of age and definitely before 12 months old, when certain conditions become irreversible.
💡 Why Choose Us?
✅ We are the only veterinary practice in KZN with the expertise of three qualified veterinary specialists ensuring the best possible outcome for our BOAS patients.
✅ We offer a cost-effective “Airway Package” to make decision-making easier for pet owners.

🌱 A Surprising Find in This Sneezing Kitty! 🐱

This sweet cat came to Hilton Veterinary Hospital with persistent sneezing, nasal discharge, and even some bleeding from the nose. Concerned about what might be causing these symptoms, we performed a CT scan and discovered a foreign object in the right nostril.

When we went in to take a biopsy sample, we were shocked to pull out an entire blade of grass! 🌾 This little culprit had been stuck in the nasal passage, causing discomfort for weeks.

Thankfully, the kitty is now feeling much better and on the road to recovery! If your pet has ongoing sneezing or nasal discharge, it could be more than just a cold, always best to get it checked out.

This experience highlights the critical importance of administering antivenom as soon as possible after a venomous bite. Hilton Vet Hospital keeps antivenom on hand for situations like this, ensuring we are always prepared to give your pets the best chance at recovery when it matters most. 🐾💉 "

🚨 Pet parents, regular vaccinations are crucial for your furry friends! 🐾
For puppies and kittens, the initial vaccinations should start at 6 weeks of age, with follow-ups at 9 and 12 weeks. It’s important to complete this series to ensure maximum protection, especially in South Africa, where herd immunity is low and diseases like Parvovirus can spread easily. At 16 weeks it will be time for a Rabies booster & Leptospirosis vaccination.

Don't stop there—at around 6 months, both puppies and kittens should receive a booster to maintain their immunity and to reduce any gaps in immunity.
After this initial series, annual boosters are necessary to keep your pets safe throughout their lives. 🐶🐱

At Hilton Vet Hospital, we’re here to guide you through the vaccination process to ensure your pets stay protected. Contact us today to book your appointment! 💙
