It's time to enjoy a long weekend. We are open tomorrow, Saturday 14th June.

Monday the 16th June is a public holiday - Youth Day so the practice will be closed.

We'll be open again on Tuesday.

Keep warm and as always, if you're travelling anywhere, be safe on the roads.

This came up as a memory from 2017!!! And no there's nothing wrong with your eyesight. Probably the very first reptile we saw at Watercrest Veterinary Clinic ,the first week we were open to the public.

And if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes we wouldn't have believed it!!! As it's said nowadays (before the AI tsunami we're experiencing) "pics or it didn't happen" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a Florida King Snake, well, a 2 headed one at least. Absolutely incredible. At the time it was fit and flourishing and to our knowledge, still going strong. Each head capable of taking in food, so I'm told meal times were interesting, trying to make sure each head got it's own tasty treat and without the heads fighting each other 😂😂😂😂

*please note, this was a once off consult with a reptile, we stick to dogs and cats (and the occasional little brown furry) here at Watercrest Veterinary Clinic 🐕🐶🐈🐱🐇🐰

Parasites NEVER take a break, especially here on the East Coast where our "winters" are very mild and it hasn't been cold enough over the past few winters to significantly reduce the numbers of ticks and fleas. This winter seems no different, although, lets be honest, when the temperature here in KZN drops below 19'C, it's basically classified as the next Ice Age 😜😉. It needs to be significantly cooler and for a longer period of time to reduce the numbers of ticks and fleas in the environment.

Bravecto is a very good product that protects your fur-babies for 3 months at a time. It is crucial to continue treatment throughout the year, because these parasites are here and thriving!!

Bravecto Chew Tablets for Dogs gives you 3 months peace of mind protection against ticks and fleas. There is also a spot on version for dogs too, this preparation provides protection for 6 months for fleas, but 4 months for ticks. The cats haven't been forgotten, there is a spot on preparation for them too, which provides protection for 3 months against ticks and fleas.

The chews are very tasty and it is rare that a dog won't eat it. The spot on preparation is quick and super easy to apply too and we can certainly assist and do the application for you when you pop your fur baby in to see us.

We also offer a fabulous loyalty program for our Bravecto clients here at Watercrest Veterinary Clinic. Every 10th Bravecto, on completion of the loyalty card, is FREEE!!! And it doesn't matter which weight category you purchase, or if it's the dog or the cat version, it all adds up and you can choose which version you would like to receive for FREE.

Come and chat to our amazing and very knowledgeable reception staff and they will assist you in downloading the Bravecto App and assigning your Bravecto purchases to you card.

*****You may actually get a very nice surprise when you come chat to our reception staff about this amazing offer😉🤫🤭T's and C's apply.

8 and Great!!!!

The 1st of June always brings about such happy memories when Watercrest Veterinary Clinic opened it's doors, now 8 years ago already!!

We are so blessed to be serving our amazing community and for the continued support from our community over these incredible 8 years. It seems like just yesterday but also a lifetime ago that we welcomed our first Watercrest Vet clients to the practice and we're still going strong. The practice has grown so successfully too which shows the level of service we offer.

To the amazing Watercrest Vet team, thank you too, for none of this would be possible without you, the hard workers in front and behind the scenes.

And to our amazing clients, here's to many many more years of keeping our four legged fans happy, healthy and thriving.

Happy birthday to us 🎉🎉🎂🎂🎊🎊

So we had to start a new Watercrest Pups Puppy School page because for some or other reason, Facebook believed we were going against their community guidelines and they kept deactivating our page🙄😐

But we're back up and running on our new page, dedicated to all the clever pups out there 😁😁😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We're so blessed with the most amazing sunsets here at Watercrest Veterinary Clinic. Especially this time of year.
Photos just don't do justice to the colours that were on display. Blink, and you'll miss it too. So important to take a break and enjoy the beauty we have around us.

Fizzy came to visit us last week, her owners were concerned about a strange dark coloured lump on the inside surface of her back leg. The nature of the lump wasn't immediately apparent, although we had our suspicions as to what it could be.

We sedated little Fizzy for the anticipated removal of this odd lump, but, we also opted to take an xray to see if our suspicions were correct.

Our suspicions were correct. A lead pellet from a pellet gun was lodged underneath Fizzy's skin!!!

A very simple procedure to remove the pellet as it was thankfully just under the skin. How long had it been there for? No way of knowing but it hadn't caused any permanent damage. This pellet was removed though because it was very superfial under the skin. Any we find are far too deep into the muscle or other parts of the body, making it very difficult, if not impossible to remove.

Regardless of how "irritating" an animal is to you, be it a cat or a monkey, it is NEVER acceptable to shoot these defenseless animals with a pellet gun, or worse. Pellets lodging in a vital area can cause death or maim an animal that could result in it not being able to move and starve to death.

If the person who shot Fizzy was caught, not only would they be prosecuted under the Animal Protection Act for cruelty to an animal, but also the Fi****ms Control Act for discharging a weapon in a residential area, and yes, a pellet gun, under the act, is classified as a weapon.

Fizzy was fortunate to not have sustained permanent injury or death.

It is NOT acceptable to shoot a defenseless animal with a weapon like this.

Out with the old, in with the new!!!
Our Spotted Eagle Owls got their digs refurbished yesterday thanks to EcoSolutions Urban Ecology 😁😁😁😁😁so here's hoping for another successful breeding season and a new generation of Owlets.

And of course all of this was happening under the critical inspection and close watchful eye of Mr B. He's a hard one to impress but we think EcoSolutions got the paw of approval from Mr B 😂😂😂😂

Go visit EcoSolutions website for more info on how you can get involved in having an owl box placed in your garden. With so much habit destruction going on, they need our help. EcoSolutions also offer a range of eco friendly and safe pest control too.

We'll keep you posted on any further developments now that breeding season is around the corner.
