🐶 To My Dad (a poem from the dog)
"You feed me when I'm hungry,
You keep water in my dish,
You let me sleep on anything
Or in any place I wish!
You sometimes let me lick your hands, or even lick your face, Despite the fact I've licked myself In a very private place!"

😍 Meet Zara! 😍

Zara is a 12 year old Brittany spaniel cross! Zara's human siblings noticed her breath was getting pretty smelly 😔
She came into BAH for a dental check up with Dr Chris who found significant dental disease. So Zara was scheduled to have a dental procedure under general anaesthetic 🙂👌

Dental Xray images were taken and assessed to confirmed Zara required several extractions.
As you can see in the dental xray images there is a 'halo' around some of the roots of her teeth, this indicates infection and the problem tooth needs to be removed. You can also see some of the teeth are sitting above the gum line which means they also need to be removed as this tooth root exposure would be uncomfortable for Zara and can lead to infection.

Zara ended up needing 9 extractions, however she went home so comfortable her family said it was like she had not had anything done at all! 🙂

Zara recovered very well from her dental procedure and is much happier without the problem teeth! 😍

One of our fantastic wildlife carers recently attended a call for an injured stump tail lizard also known as a shingleback lizard 🦎

The reptile came into BAH where Dr Chris, our main reptile vet, assessed the patient and after an xray determined there was no internal damage to the lizard. While his tail wound looks nasty it is able to heal. After being cleaned and treated with pain relief and antibiotics, the lizard was able to go back to the wildlife carer while he heals and then will be released back into the wild 😍

😍 Meet Winx! 😍

Winx came into BAH when his owner noticed he was not quiet himself 😔
Poor Winx seemed uncomfortable and struggling to pass faeces. The faeces he did pass were very dry.

After an assessment with Dr Sita, an xray image was determined to be the next step for Winx!

On xray it appeared Winx had a bone like substance in his digestive system, which was puzzling as Winx is not fed bones 🤔

Winx had recently changed his diet to a raw meat sachet to help with some other diet concerns. This package was xrayed and, surprisingly to everyone, contained a high volume of bone content in it! 😳
The package said there was some bone powder in the contents however on the xray this content was much higher than anticipated!

We often see patients who are fed bones frequently come in with constipation as bones don't digest well and are very drying for animals. Sometimes the compaction can be so bad these animals require an e***a and, in some cases, surgery to remove the contents 😔

We are pleased to say Winx has now changed diets and after rehydration in the form of IV Fluids, is passing faeces as normal 🥰

Bone on xray image shows up as white. As you can see on both the food xray and the xray on Winx there is lots of bone fragments present!

😍 Meet Wesley! 😍

When Wesley was resting at night his attentive owners noticed his abdominal area appeared to be bigger than usual 😳

He came in for his appointment at BAH where, apon exam, a mass was palpable in his abdomen.
An ultrasound was performed to confirm there was a mass on his spleen.

When a mass is present on the spleen, it can be an emergency situation. A mass could rupture at any time and cause significant blood loss for the patient which in worst case scenarios could be fatal.

Wesley went into surgery where his spleen was removed along with the large mass which was attached to it!

The spleen and mass were sent to a laboratory for testing which came back as a benign splenic hematoma!

This means it is a non cancerous growth!
These specific type of growths can often be caused due to infection, trauma or another underlying condition.

Approximately half of all splenic masses in dogs are benign (non cancerous), while the other half are malignant (cancerous). This percentage can vary depending on whether the mass has ruptured and is bleeding into the abdomen. So Wesley is a lucky little man! 💕

We are pleased to say Wesley is recovering well and back to his happy self! 😍

🌈 Today is rainbow Bridge remembrance day 🌈

Today we remember all those pets who may have left our side, but will never leave our hearts 💕

🌈 Post their photos below 💕

💓 Walking Over the Rainbow Bridge 💞

I felt your touch, so warm, so kind,
The love we shared still fills my mind.
But now I walk a path so bright,
Beyond the clouds, bathed in light.

The pain has faded, I run so free,
Through golden fields, past endless trees.
The sky is painted soft and wide,
A bridge of colors as my guide.

I turn my head, I see you there,
With teary eyes and love to spare.
Please don’t cry, don’t say goodbye,
I live in stars, in moonlit sky.

Each breeze that whispers, each rustling tree,
Is just my way of saying, "I'm free."
Though paws may rest, my heart still beats,
In memories warm, in love so deep.

One day, I know, when time feels right,
You'll walk this bridge bathed in light.
And in that moment, just like before,
I’ll run to you—forevermore.
