Annie - December Patient of the Month! 🐾

Annie is a brave and incredibly kind girl who has been through so much since being diagnosed with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma at the end of last year. She underwent a tonsillectomy and chemotherapy, and after completing her treatment, she went into remission - beating the average survival times. 💪✨

Sadly, over the last month, Annie developed chronic vomiting and required further investigation, including endoscopy and biopsies. Tragically, she was diagnosed with a primary pyloric carcinoma, meaning she must once again face a difficult cancer battle. 💔 The location of the tumour makes surgical intervention impossible, so she is currently undergoing chemotherapy and receiving supportive care as we focus on keeping her as comfortable as possible. ❤️‍🩹

Despite everything she has endured, Annie remains a cheerful, resilient pup. 🐶💖 She is a BVH favourite, having captured the hearts of so many of us. We are honoured to care for her and wish her all the best as she continues her treatment. 🌟🙏

Meet Sr Janet! 🌟

A veterinary nurse since 1987, Janet has devoted her life to helping animals thrive. Her career has taken her through animal welfare, private practice, and specialist clinics, each step adding to the expertise she brings to our team.

Passionate and compassionate, she still finds joy in every moment spent caring for patients. When she’s not at the hospital, she’s with the true stars of her world: her grandchildren. At home, she surrounds herself with four beautiful rescued dogs and a cat, a perfect reflection of her lifelong commitment to giving animals a better life.

Meet Sr Ongama! 🌟
A dedicated veterinary nurse who qualified in 2017 and joined the BVH family in 2018, Ongama first explored his passion for animals through a National Diploma in Animal Production and Pasture Science from Fort Cox College of Agriculture.

A proud father of three, he brings the same compassion he has at home into the hospital every day. And when he’s not caring for patients, you’ll find him cheering for his favourite soccer team - Mamelodi Sundowns! ⚽💛

Stumpi – Our November Patient of the Month!

This incredibly brave 13.5-year-old fighter has been under the dedicated care of Dr. Candyce Pedreiro for a neurological condition affecting his mobility. After a 20-day roller coaster in ICU, Stumpi found his strength again and is now back home with his devoted mom, who left him a Bible while he was in ICU (pictured), offering comfort and hope throughout his stay.

His resilience touched every staff member lucky enough to care for him. Keep shining, Stumpi – you’re an inspiration. 💛🐾
