🦆 A Little Rescue with a Big Heart 💚
Today we received a call about three tiny ducklings trapped in a drain alongside the MyCiTi bus lane. With no time to waste, our team headed straight to the scene.
Our Practice Manager, Hermien, Dr Rozanne, and vet student Emma sprang into action. After making sure it was safe to proceed, Emma bravely climbed into the drain and carefully rescued each duckling, passing them up one by one to waiting hands.
With all three little adventurers safely out, the next part of our mission began—finding their mom. We searched the surrounding wetlands, hoping to reunite the family, but despite our best efforts, we couldn’t locate her.
The ducklings have since been handed over to experienced wildlife rehabilitators, who will ensure they receive the care they need and, hopefully, one day return them safely to the wild where they belong.
A huge thank you to the kind member of the public who called us, and to everyone involved in making this rescue possible. Every life, no matter how small, is worth protecting. 🦆💛
Sometimes being a veterinary team means leaving the consult room behind and answering nature’s call for help.
