This is the lovely Chaz, who belongs to one of our Student Veterinary Nurses, Grace💚As some of you with pets who have had eye ulcers may know, we commonly use serum drops to treat this condition, alongside other medicated drops prescribed. This is done by taking blood from either our larger dogs or, as seen here, some of the staff's pet horses! 🐴The blood is then centrifuged (spun) in our in-house laboratory. This process separates the serum, which is decanted into bottles and stored in the freezer until needed for our patients.❄️
Serum eye drops are often used to treat eye ulcers because they’re packed with healing growth factors, antibodies, and essential nutrients. These drops help speed up tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing by mimicking the body’s own tears💧They’re especially useful when traditional treatments aren’t enough, helping prevent infection and improving recovery time. A natural, powerful way to support your pet’s eye health! 👁️
As seen in the pictures, Chaz was a very brave boy, and his donation will help treat and even save many poorly eyes. Blood donations play a crucial role in this, so if you have a larger breed dog who is seen in practice and you are happy for any blood to be donated, please always let your vet know. Every donation makes a huge difference🩸💉
