🩺Just like humans, pets can develop arthritis as they age — but many suffer in silence.🩺
⁠
*Osteoarthritis (OA)* is a progressive, degenerative joint disease that causes chronic pain and reduced mobility. It’s especially common in:
🐶 Senior pets
🐕 Large breed dogs
🐾 Overweight animals
🦴 Pets with old injuries or joint conditions
⁠
*Signs your pet may have arthritis:*
🐾 Limping or stiffness, especially after rest
🐾 Slower walks or avoiding play
🐾 Trouble getting up or lying down
🐾 Reluctance to jump (especially in cats)
🐾 Muscle loss
🐾 Grumpiness, restlessness or sleeping more
⁠
*Did you know?*
Many cats over 12 show signs of arthritis on x-rays — but most go undiagnosed because cats are experts at hiding pain.
⁠
*Managing arthritis isn’t just about pain relief.*
At Provet, we take a multimodal approach, which may include:
✔️ Anti-inflammatory & pain medications
✔️ Joint supplements (like omega-3s, glucosamine & chondroitin)
✔️ Weight loss & exercise plans
✔️ Special prescription diets
⁠
*Early diagnosis leads to better long-term outcomes.*
Even young pets with joint stress or injury can benefit from early support.

🩺 *Not sure if your pet is affected?*
Book a consult with our team today at 015 793 0797.
Let’s help your pet stay active, comfortable, and happy for years to come.

💔 Meet Rex – A Brave Little Soul in Need of Our Help

Rex is a dog from The Willows whose gentle heart has already endured more than most ever should. Rex was maliciously stabbed, suffering two deep wounds — one to his chest, and another from the top of his neck down under his shoulder blade (about 20cm involving the muscles of his front leg and shoulder).

Despite the unimaginable pain, Rex came to us at Provet Animal Hospital without an ounce of aggression… just very timid and scared but with a wagging tail.

Rex is now safe and receiving intensive care, but his journey to recovery will be long and costly - the initial surgery took about 2 hours and he will need further treatment but the bill is already in excess of R3000 with all that had to be done. Hoedspruit AnimaL Outreach were angels in responding to his owners' call immediately and has stepped in to cover his treatment, but they can’t do it alone.

We’re reaching out to our community — to those who believe in second chances and the healing power of kindness. If you’re able to contribute in any way, please consider donating directly to Provet to help cover Rex’s vet bills and support his road to healing.

🐾 Every little bit helps.
🐾 Every share spreads his story.
🐾 Every donation brings hope.

Let’s show Rex that love wins. 💙

🐾Meet Leah Brown – Veterinary Nurse Locum🐾

Leah grew up in Adelaide, Australia, and in 2022 graduated as part of the inaugural class of the Bachelor of Veterinary Technology at the University of Adelaide.

Before beginning her studies, Leah spent five years living and working as part of a wildlife research team in the heart of the South African bush. It was here, just outside of Hoedspruit, that she solidified her passion for wildlife conservation — and realised the exciting possibility of combining it with veterinary medicine.

After graduating, Leah joined the Wildscapes Veterinary team. She has a particular fondness for the "underdogs" of the animal kingdom – rhinos and cheetahs.

In her spare time, Leah enjoys bush walks with her beloved dog, Roxy, nurturing her ever-growing collection of plant babies and visiting her family in the land down under with her partner, Ben.

While working with wildlife is deeply rewarding, Leah is also passionate about providing stress-free care for all your furry family members and looks forward to helping all of our patients at Provet.

🐾Paige the Beagle — Brave, Beautiful, and Back to Business🐾

Meet Paige, a sweet little beagle with a big heart and an even bigger job. Now enjoying her well-earned retirement, Paige still lives and works alongside her owner Nick Leuenberger out in the bush — a life filled with adventure, fresh air, and purpose.

Recently, her owners noticed a small lump on her eyelid — a meibomian gland tumour, a common growth that forms on the edge of the eyelid and can become irritating or even interfere with vision if left untreated.
Given the sensitive location so close to the eye, removing these tumours requires an extremely delicate surgical approach to avoid damaging the eyelid or affecting eye function. Paige was in excellent hands with Dr Debbie Coetzee at Provet Animal Hospital, who successfully performed the intricate procedure with great care and precision.

Paige, ever the trooper, healed beautifully. She’s now back to doing what she loves, with bright eyes, a wagging tail, and barely a sign that anything ever happened.
We’re so proud to have been part of her journey.

Here’s to many more bushveld adventures ahead for this special little dog! 🐾💚

💛 Frankie’s Journey: From Burn Victim to Brave Fighter 💛

Meet Frankie – a sweet soul who came to us as a welfare case from Hoedspruit AnimaL Outreach after suffering severe burns. His road to recovery has been nothing short of incredible. With weeks of intensive care, love, and determination, Frankie’s wounds healed beautifully – and so did his spirit. 🐾

But Frankie wasn’t quite out of the woods. As he recovered, we noticed some unusual neurological signs. Thanks to Dr. Debbie English at ProVet Animal Hospital and the amazing team at , we were able to take things a step further. Frankie underwent a full MRI scan, which revealed two cysts and a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia – explaining his quirky movements and behavior.

The best news? Frankie remains full of life, love, and tail wags – and is getting the monitoring and support he needs.

Thanks to our partnership with Hoedspruit Private Hospital, your pets can also benefit from advanced diagnostic tools like MRI and CT scans, right here through ProVet Animal Hospital - with full radiological reports of the scans. We're proud to offer this level of care in the Lowveld – because every pet deserves their best chance.

Go Frankie! 💪🐶✨

🐾Meet Dr. Olivia McMurray – Part time veterinarian🐾

Born and raised in Nelspruit, Dr. Olivia spent much of her childhood between the Lowveld towns of Nelspruit and Hoedspruit—where her love for animals and wild places first began. From a young age, she was drawn to veterinary medicine—collecting blood slides from the local vet to inspect under her toy microscope, fascinated by the unseen world beneath the lens.

After graduating from Onderstepoort in 2016 and completing her community service year along the Kruger Park border, Olivia embraced the flexibility of locum work—using it as a way to explore South Africa, follow her creative passions, and contribute to conservation efforts.

Her heart has always been in the Lowveld, and two years ago she made the decision to call Hoedspruit home. Now working more permanently with the Provet team, she brings not only her clinical expertise, but a deep commitment to the animals, people, and wild spaces of this region.

When she’s not in the clinic, Olivia serves on the board of a local conservation NGO, teaches hands-on conservation courses for vet students, and finds joy in photography, art, writing, and time spent in nature.
