👀👀 Meet the Team Monday 👀👀

You may have been lucky enough to meet the lovely Magda with your furry family member at some point in the last 10 years. With a wealth of knowledge & experience, you will have been in excellent hands.

Magda graduated from Ludwig-Maximilian-University 👩‍🎓 in Munich/Germany in 1993 & fell in love with eyes in all their beauty in the last 2 years of the course, which came as a surprise as she originally really only wanted to treat horses! 🐴

She moved to the UK in 1996 & whilst working in general small animal practice in South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 she decided to take things one level up, gaining her certificate in Veterinary Ophthalmology in 2003. Magda remained in general first opinion practice for several years after that, juggling work, a young family, & an assortment of cats. 🐈

After a few years in sunny Australia, the pull of the green valleys became irresistible and she returned to South Wales to work in a busy small animal hospital in Bridgend as a general practitioner and 'resident eye person'.

💪🫶 Meet Shadow! 🫶💪

Shadow has been a frequent visitor to Elisa, our Oncologist & Soft Tissue surgeon, over the last few months.

Shadow was diagnosed with a malignant, high grade Mast Cell Tumour, under his tongue. He underwent surgery to remove the tumour with his primary vet & then had a round of electrochemotherapy with Elisa to treat the wound bed. As the tumour was high grade, Shadow then underwent 8 treatments of chemotherapy due to the high chance of the tumour spreading (metastasis).

He is was such a champ throughout his treatment & is now on maintenance dose of an oral chemotherapy drug to try & stop recurrence of the tumour. Such a brave boy 💜
