Ouch Poncho!🐴😣

After being chased into a barbed wire fence by another horse, Poncho was found with a large laceration on his hind leg.

Dr Meg arrived on the farm and sedated him so she could assess, clean and debride the wound, before suturing the damaged muscle and skin. He was started on pain relief, antibiotics and we checked his tetanus cover, which is so important with this type of injury.

Get better soon, handsome boy! ❤️‍🩹

A ‘hello’ and a ‘goodbye’ from the same Ikhala team you know and trust. 🐾

We knew from the start that Dr Megan would eventually be relocating out of province, but we were lucky enough to have her stay a little longer to help cover Dr Emily’s maternity leave. We’re so grateful for her time with us and wish her all the best for her next adventure! ❤️

Now, we’re excited to welcome Dr Robyn to the Ikhala Vet team, joining Dr Meg. Dr Robyn will be with us through to January, when Dr Emily returns from maternity leave.

Originally from KZN, Dr Robyn studied veterinary medicine in Budapest, Hungary, before making her way to the Eastern Cape. She doesn’t have any pets of her own just yet, but is hoping to soon welcome a Yorkie or a Collie into her home!

We’re looking forward to introducing her to our patients, clients and the wider Ikhala community and we’re thrilled to have her on board! 🐾💙

New home, new start, new microchip! 🏡🤎

Meet Gaston! This handsome boy came into our clinic after being rehomed to his amazing new family. First stop on the checklist? Updating his microchip so he’s officially theirs. 🤗

A microchip is a tiny chip with a huge job, it’s his ticket home if he ever gets lost. When pets change families, updating that chip is one of the most important things you can do.

He was a star patient, and we’re so happy he’s landed exactly where he’s meant to be. Welcome to the Ikhala family, Gaston! 💙

Is your pet’s microchip up to date? If you’re not sure, pop in and we can quickly scan and check for you.

Today is World Rabies Day 🌍

Rabies is 99% fatal, but 100% preventable. And that’s what One Health is all about.

Human health, animal health, and environmental health are all connected. When we vaccinate a dog against rabies, we’re not just protecting that dog , we’re protecting its owner, its family, its community, and the wildlife it comes into contact with.

This past year alone, between our clinic patients and our community outreach programs, we’ve administered over 686 rabies vaccines. That’s 686 animals protected, and 686 families safer.

One vaccine really can save many lives.

Thank you to Wilderness Foundation Africa for helping us put One Health into action every day. The support of Medivet & Partners will help us grow this number even more over the coming year. 💪

🐾 Sometimes, the best treatment is letting go.

Poor little Blackie arrived with a severe fracture of the hind limb. Unfortunately, the damage was too extensive to save the leg, and amputation was ultimately the best option for her comfort and long-term quality of life. ❤️‍🩹

She is now recovering well and, as cats so often do, adapting remarkably quickly to life on three legs. 🖤🐾

WORLD RHINO DAY 🦏

Rhino conservation is about far more than protecting individual animals. It’s about creating a future where rhinos can continue to exist in healthy, sustainable populations across Africa.

Behind the scenes, conservation work can involve veterinary care, monitoring, translocations, population management, research, community partnerships and supporting the people working on the ground every day to protect these animals.

It’s challenging work, and there is still a long way to go, but every healthy rhino, every successful intervention and every protected habitat contributes to the bigger picture.

Today, we celebrate the incredible animals at the heart of this work, and the many people who dedicate their time and expertise to giving rhinos a future. We are happy to play our part. 🦏🩶

We caught a break in the rain this week with our students and with the completed another successful community outreach event! ❤️‍🩹🐶

In just under 3 hours, the team vaccinated over 60 pets, treated a range of injuries, and sent every pet home with a new collar, 3 months of flea/tick & deworming medication, and a pack of nutritious food. 🩺💉

Thank you to Jo at the for hosting, and to our partners your donations and ongoing support are what make these clinics successful. We appreciate you! 🫶🏻

And thank you to our students for showing up, working hard, and taking such great care of every animal and owner who came through, what a great morning! 🐾🙌

This may look intense, but it’s hope in action. 🦏

This rhino is being dehorned to keep her safe.

Rhino horn has no medicinal value, but it is highly valued on the illegal wildlife trade, putting our nation’s rhinos under threat.

Dehorning is painless and done under the watchful eye of Dr Will and his team.
The horn is made of keratin, just like fingernails, and is trimmed above the growth plate, so there is no pain or damage. We apply oil afterward to help prevent cracking at the newly exposed level.

Does it work? Yes. Dehorned rhinos are less attractive to poachers, but it is not the only solution. Reserves use drones, anti-poaching teams, K-9 units, planes, tracking collars, security cameras, and countless other measures to ensure their rhinos’ safety.

It’s not the world we want, but it’s the action that keeps them safe. We are privileged to play our part in protecting this precious and vulnerable species.

Thank you to Kariega Foundation and AzVMA for their partnership in making this procedure happen.
