MalagaVet

Our smallest patient of the week - little Tink made her revisit appointment a pleasure today.
Once again she charmed every team member and we are so happy to see her left eye looking back to normal now.
Such cutie! Thanks for making our day!

The smallest patients can make the biggest impact.
Take little Tink here, weighing in at a mighty 1.38kg (!) she managed to charm all of the team in record time!
Tink was in for surgical treatment of a common congenital eye problem called "cherry eye". We even found a small enough "cone of shame" to fit her post-op!
This is a problem where the tear gland in the third eyelid pops out of place. Thankfully Dr Tina from our veterinary team has lots of experience with replacing these rogue tear glands, so Tink could have her operation without delay
Tink really was a pleasure to have in the hospital and we can't wait to see her back for her 10 days post op check up.

Just a few of our very cute and wonderfully varied patients seen at MalagaVet recently. No two days are the same for us, and nor are any two pets.
For individually tailored pet care for your fur-baby MalagaVet is your trusted locally owned and operated family Vet of 21 years and going strong.
Thanks to you for all the gorgeous pets we get to care for!

🐝Bee stings - can still happen even at this time of year!
🐝Even though bit is colder, wetter and windier there are still plenty of insects about and curious pups can cop a sting anywhere.
🐝We've removed bee stings from noses, lips, eyelids, feet and paws and now even from the tip of the tongue while in consultation!
🐝If you suspect a bee sting has happened its best for us to check your pet over as soon as possible. Some pets can have severe allergic reactions and its best to get treated quickly!

🎓Teaching the next generation ...
MalagaVet regularly hosts both Vet and Vet Nurse students so they can gain invaluable hands-on experience in practice.
Our role is to teach them the skills they will use straight away, and help build their confidence with real life experience.
Pictured here:
Vet Nurse student Caitlyn has infectious enthusiasm and its great to be able to help her in her studies by providing a work placement for her.
Our patient Koda is a very sweet natured dog who willingly cooperates with what the vet nurses ask of her, and gets spoiled with treats and cuddles. Chloe's sharing her experience as a qualified Nurse to perfect the mix!

🌺Lest We Forget🌺

We remember not only our human family members who have served over the years, but also the animals that assisted the armed forces. Carrying heavy burdens and sometimes even messages their loyalty and ability to endure are not forgotten.

The Human - Animal Bond
This is why we do what we do everyday.
We were reminded of this in the past week when one of our long time patients Lucy was very unwell and her human Tom was equally distressed.
Lucy means the world to Tom and our team worked hard to help her get back to health and her regular walks with Tom. You may have seen them walking along West Coast Drive where Tom is well known for giving high 5's to runners going past!
It is always stressful for owners when pets are sick, and as your vet we share the concern and worry when treating such valued companions.
We know how much they matter.

🐣I love Easter time, with beautiful weather and the smell of toasting hot cross buns!

🐣With treats such as these and chocolate in abundance around the house at this time of year it pays to be careful that our pet friends are kept well away from it all, especially the Easter Egg Hunt. No-one wants an emergency trip to the vet to add to the daily things-to-do list!

🐣Please note our changed opening hours over the Easter Weekend:
🐰Good Friday 3rd April - CLOSED
🐰Saturday 4th April - OPEN 8am - 4pm
🐰Sunday 5th & Monday 6th - CLOSED
If you're heading away drive safely and have a wonderful time!
