Another two essential team members who keep the wheels at Blue Hills Veterinary Hospital turning; Sally and Benice!

Although doing a lot of work behind the scenes, the day-to-day running of the hospital would not be possible with these two ladies. Sally has been here for a number of years, knows the ins and outs of the practice like the back of her hand; while always being a comforting, steadying and emotional anchor for many of the vets and nurses. While Benice has only just recently joined us, she is proving to be an efficient and capable team member who quickly sorts things out and stays on top of all the daily logistics involved in running a hospital.

We've had some fun with the images and while our team members and their roles have been accurately portrayed, the backgrounds may not accurately reflect the hospital itself.

The Snoot Syndicate gathering together to put the treat dispenser to work! Dr Iuree found herself surrounded and intimated by office dogs Brody, Smudge, Ashley, Moxie and Maggie, who weren't going to miss out on any delicious snacks that may be handed out.

A warm introduction to our wonderful team of vets!

We are incredibly lucky to have these amazing vets at Blue Hills Veterinary Hospital . They all go above and beyond for their patients and clients; always wanting to find the best solution and way forward. Kind, caring and incredibly skilled at what they do, they always wants what is best for their patients. From consultations to stitch ups, from dentals to complex medical works, surgeries and everything in between, we are truly grateful to have them on our team.

We've had some fun with the images in order to create a cohesive look; and while our team and their roles are accurately represented, the backgrounds used may not accurately reflect the hospital itself.

A face that looks so innocent; but belongs to Dricus, the rock eater! This gorgeous young chap is the guilty party of yesterday's xray depicting some rocks in places they shouldn't be!

Thanks to his owner's observant eye, Dr Tim's excellent surgical skills and the wonderful post op care from the entire team at BHVH, Dricus was discharged with his tail wagging and is continuing with his recovery at home.

While any dog can ingest something they shouldn't, puppies and younger dogs are often culprits as their curiosity gets them into trouble. Scent hounds; which include bassets, beagles and dachshunds, frequently top the list for ingesting things they shouldn't. We also commonly see labradors, jack russells and pitbulls for not sticking to their prescribed diet!

If you suspect your dog has swallowed something they shouldn't have, please come in to see us sooner rather than later. Waiting to see what happens only causes further damage to the intestinal tract which can ultimately have devastating consequences if left too late.

Something isn't quite right here 🤔

As much as we love the idea that every pup has a nice full tummy, there are limits and this patient came in with a stomach full of rocks!

Rocks are one of the more common objects that dogs ingest when they really shouldn't; usually when grease and other bits of fat are tossed from the braai onto the nearby decorative pebbles! Some dogs, however, just leave us asking, "but why?!".

Signs your dog may have a foreign body can vary greatly depending on the degree of obstruction, location, duration and type of foreign body; but often include vomiting, decreased appetite, lethargy, diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort. A quick xray, and sometimes abdominal ultrasound, can often confirm the diagnosis and we can get the patient treated and into theater if necessary.

Any guesses as to what breed of dog may have done this? We will share the guilty face soon!

They certainly are pretty cool 😎

An introduction to our amazing nursing team!

The nursing team is made up of nurses Kirstin and Thembelihle, and animal health technicians Monika and Bianca. Together, they are the glue behind the scenes! From collecting bloods, setting up drips, taking xrays, monitoring patients under sedation and general anaesthesia, giving medication, applying bandages,dispensing medication, providing endless cuddles, TLC and so much more; our vets couldn't do what they do without our nursing team!

While the team and their roles have been accurately represented, we've have had some fun with the images. The backgrounds and other illustrations may not accurately depict the hospital.

UPDATE: OWNER FOUND!

FOUND 12 OCTOBER 2026 PROTEA ROAD SUN VALLEY

This older lady has been brought in to us after she was found looking a little stressed in the road. She is spayed and has a microchip but unfortunately it isn't registered so we have no way of contacting her people.

Please pop in to the clinic or call 011 318 2340 if you recognize her.

There honestly aren't enough words to describe the lengths, breadths, widths and depths our incredible team of nurses go to for our hospital.

The heroes behind the scenes; working magic by keeping multiple doctors (with all their individual preferences!) happy, running bloods and other diagnostics, taking radiographs, prepping patients for theater and other procedures, monitoring anaesthetics, treating patients and making sure they are comfortable and settled, picking up on all the small changes in their physical and mental well-being, ordering products and keeping the pharmacy well stocked all while ensuring the hospital runs smoothly and staying on top of all the admin! The queens of multi-tasking, treat dispenser extraordinaires, not afraid of the spicy cat or worried about the accidental puddle or mystery stain; owners of too many pens and always a shoulder to cry on during those tough times.

We take our hats off to you!

It takes a very special kind of person to do this every day. Between our nurses and animal health technicians; we are so grateful for our incredible nursing team who often go above and beyond, eager to learn and always ready to advocate for their patients.

To Sr Kirstin and Monika, who have been with us since 2018, and our newer team members Sr Thembe and Bianca; thank you. We truly appreciate everything you do for us.

Happy Veterinary Nurses Day 2026
