Did you know there is a blood bank for pets? 🩸

Pet Blood Bank UK is a charity that helps to save the lives of pets in need. It’s just like the human blood service, but for dogs! 🐶 They run donation sessions across the country where owners bring their much loved dogs to give blood. We pleased to share Blaise has been selected to be a donation site!

Pet Blood Bank needs your help to ensure blood is always available 🙏 They are looking for large, happy, healthy, and confident dogs to come forward as blood donors to help save the lives of other dogs in need. To be a blood donor, your dog should be:

🐶 Between the ages of 1 and 8
🐶 Weigh over 25kg
🐶 Fit and healthy
🐶 Happy, confident, and enjoy meeting new people

If this sounds like your dog, head over to Pet Blood Bank’s website to find out more! www.petbloodbankuk.org

Meet Cooper 🐾

Cooper came to Blaise to see our Oncologist Margo due to a lump in the thigh of his right hindlimb. A CT scan was performed which identified a tumour growing in the muscles of the leg. Sadly, Cooper's tumour was very close to the hip joint, and this meant that a routine amputation was unlikely to achieve clean margins and could result in tumour cells being left behind. Cooper required a surgery called a hemipelvectomy, where the limb and part of the pelvis is also removed. This surgery involves both soft tissue and orthopaedic skills, and Cooper was treated by our surgeon's Callum and Maria, who luckily see both Soft Tissue and Orthopaedic cases. The surgery needed careful planning, and the pre-planned incisions and closure were marked on Cooper's limb using a sterile marker pen to help guide the surgery. Surgery involved cutting the pelvis in three places to allow removal and then repairing the induced abdominal hernia using some of Cooper's muscles. Surgery went well and thankfully the tumour has been fully removed. His owners have shared a lovely video of Cooper on his recovery journey, three weeks after surgery- Look at him go!

We are pleased to share that Ela Mederska, European Specialist in Veterinary Cardiology at Blaise Vet Specialists, has authored the chapter “Bacterial Endocarditis” in the new veterinary textbook Clinical Echocardiography in Dogs and Cats.
The chapter addresses the diagnosis and echocardiographic assessment of bacterial endocarditis, an important and challenging condition in veterinary cardiology. This contribution reflects Ela’s commitment to advancing veterinary cardiology through clinical practice, research and education.

Well done Ela! 🩵
