This week on 'meet the team' we would like to introduce you to our our head veterinary nurse Lisa. She joined Market Cross in June 2024 and has a lot of experience in veterinary nursing with a passion for emergency and critical nursing! Here is her bio.....

I have worked in the veterinary profession for more years than I care to admit (over 20 yrs!). Before joining Market Cross as Head Veterinary Nurse in June 2024, I worked in a very large veterinary hospital in Lanark for 16 years which included covering emergency out of hours provision 365 days per year. It was at my last practice I found my love of emergency and critical care (ECC) nursing which led me to study and gain my post graduate certificate in ECC nursing (Ncert ECC). Although I was predominantly a small animal veterinary nurse, I was fortunate to gain experience within the equine hospital also, having the opportunity to work with some of the best equine veterinary surgeons in the field, including the late Geoff Lane (specialist in equine laryngeal tie back surgeries) who sadly passed away very recently.

I am known as the resident crazy cat lady at Market Cross because of my love of cats and being an advocate for fear free handling! My interests within the veterinary nursing field include; ECC nursing, anesthesia, radiography, wound management and schedule 3 nursing which includes surgeries which do not enter a body cavity. I have carried out many surgeries over my career including suturing wounds, lumpectomies, aural haematomas, tail amputations and complicated surgical wound management, to name but a few!!!

I also have a keen interest in wildlife nursing and have often taken home many wildlife casualties over the years including bats, owlets, buzzards and hedgehogs! My partner and I 's last foster was a little pipistrelle bat named BB (AKA bat boy!). He was handed in to Market Cross in August of last year, found in a wheelie bin, almost dead and full of parasites. We took him home where we realised he was only a juvenile bat weighing in at a mere 3.8g! We taught him how to fly up and down our hallway and after 3 months of rehabilitation and reaching an impressive body weight of 6.2g, we released him back to the wild.

At home, I live with my other half and 4 cats; Weemanio, Doodles, Little Miss Morgan and Aladdin (3 ragdolls and a domesticated long hair moggy). Why is my last cat called Aladdin I hear you ask??? Well........at my last practice, a client handed in a 3 hour old kitten whose mum had rejected him! I took him in and hand reared him, which meant feeding every 2 hours night and day, the only problem was, at the time, I had promised my little granddaughter that I would take her to see the live action movie Aladdin, the kitten was only 10 days old at the time! Most people smuggle in sweets and crisps into the cinema.............I smuggled in a kitten 😹! To the Odeon lux, no less!!!

I am sure you will all agree she is a great addition to the team!

Good morning everyone 🌄!

Today we would like to introduce you to one of our receptionists, Ryan. He joined Market Cross around six months ago and is a valued member of staff. Here is his bio........

I am passionate about animals, nature, rock music, video games and horror films. Though I'm a dog lover at heart, I currently have two cats, Wookie and Misha and an albino ball python called Rayla.

With a background in administration, customer service and veterinary care, and aspirations to one day quality as a veterinary nurse, the receptionist position at Market Cross is an excellent fit for me! I am also the healthy pet club champion, so please ask me how you can save money on your pets preventative health care! I enjoy helping people save money whilst looking after their pets healthcare and getting to know owners and their pets of all ages!

I'm sure you will all agree that Ryan is an excellent addition to our team here at Market Cross!

She also has a keen interest in complementary therapies such as physiotherapy, laser therapy and hydrotherapy.

Hi everyone!

We thought we would show you all what a hard life it is being a cat 😺! This is one of our head nurse Lisa's cats, Weemanio, sporting the long forgotten planking craze 😹! Lisa almost lost him when he was 6 wks old, 14 yrs ago now, thanks to a blood transfusion from one of her other cats, he made a full recovery! I'm sure you will all agree, he is now living his best life!

The Pet Blood bank is always looking for blood donors from cats and dogs, however, they always have a severe shortage of cat blood donors. For more information on how your cat or dog can donate, please contact The Pet Blood Bank or contact us here on our FB page!
