Meet M***a 🐾

This gorgeous girl, M***a, had a very frightening ordeal after going missing for a couple of days. When she finally returned home, she was found to be severely injured, with signs suggesting she had likely been involved in a road traffic accident.❤️‍🩹

M***a presented with multiple serious injuries, including facial trauma, a large abdominal wound, and lameness in her left hindlimb. She was urgently referred to WMR, where radiographs confirmed a left tibial fracture. Further examination revealed significant damage to her left eye and extensive soft tissue injuries.

Our veterinary surgeon, Dimitris Mitrakos, acted quickly to stabilise M***a.
Surgery was performed to repair her abdominal wound and stabilise the fractured tibia. 🦴
Sadly, her left eye was too badly damaged to be saved and had to be removed. A small tongue laceration was also repaired during the procedure.

To support her recovery, M***a had an oesophageal feeding tube placed and remained hospitalised with round-the-clock nursing care from our dedicated team. She also benefited from regular laser therapy sessions with our in-house veterinary physiotherapist, Nikki, helping to promote healing of her wounds.💕

After all she has been through, M***a has shown incredible resilience. She is now home, resting and recovering well—and gradually getting back to her happy, normal self.😍

Well done, M***a—you’re amazing! 🐱💙

As part of our services at WMR, we offer physiotherapy for both inpatients and outpatients. 🌟🙌

Physiotherapy often includes prescribing remedial exercises; this month we are focusing on 'Forelimb raised stretch'. The aim of this stretch is to strengthen the core muscles, improve balance and encourage weight bearing to be shifted towards the hindlimbs.🐶
We do this by placing our pet in a square standing position then pop a step of suitable height in front of your pet’s forelimbs.
Encourage your pet to lift their forelimbs onto the step, with their weight shifted backwards onto the hindlimbs.🐾

Please see the video below for a demonstration and check out our website for further information on our physiotherapy service: https://www.wm-referrals.com/our-services/veterinary-physiotherapy

Meet Reggie the 7yr old Cocker Spaniel🐶

Reggie was out running one evening when he unfortunately fell into a pothole and injured his right forelimb.
He was referred to WMR, where an examination and X-rays confirmed a right-sided lateral condylar fracture. ❤️‍🩹

Given Reggie’s breed, our veterinary team were concerned that this fracture may have been caused by an underlying condition known as a humeral intercondylar fissure (HIF).
This is a small crack within the humeral condyle (the part of the upper limb bone that forms the elbow joint), which can lead to pain, lameness, and an increased risk of fracture.
HIFs are most commonly seen in Spaniel breeds and can often affect both elbows. 🐕

To investigate further, a CT scan was performed, which confirmed the presence of a HIF in Reggie’s left elbow as well. 🦴

Our veterinary surgeon Andy Whittingham carried out surgery to stabilise the fracture in Reggie’s right elbow.
Eight weeks later, Reggie returned for a recheck, which confirmed that the fracture had healed well. At this stage, a screw was placed in the left elbow to stabilise the HIF and help prevent it from progressing to a fracture in the future. 🌟

Well done, Reggie - you’ve been incredibly brave throughout your treatment! 🙌💕

This beautiful girl is Pippa, who was referred to WMR with a history of stiffness when rising and yelping after exercise.🐕

Veterinary Surgeon Andy Whittingham examined Pippa and reviewed her radiographs, which confirmed bilateral hip osteoarthritis. Andy discussed a range of treatment options with Pippa’s owner, and together they decided to proceed with the least invasive surgical option initially - a hip neurectomy.❤️‍🩹

A neurectomy involves surgically reducing the sensory nerve supply to the affected hip joint capsule, helping to decrease pain in the area. The rest of the nerve supply to the hindlimb remains intact, meaning Pippa can still walk and feel normally in all other respects.

Following her procedure, Pippa also received laser therapy from our in-house veterinary physiotherapist to support her recovery.🙌

Osteoarthritis is a progressive condition with no cure, so while this procedure should provide Pippa with comfort for some time, she may require further treatment in the future.💕

Wishing you all the very best, Pippa!🐶🐾
