Splodge was referred to our Neurology department after his owner found him collapsed and having a seizure. 💔

Neurology Specialist Dr Luca Motta, together with the help of our Diagnostic Imaging team, performed a MRI of Splodge's brain which was normal. However, toxicology testing of his blood and urine revealed Chloralose – which is commonly found in rat poison.

Splodge was treated with antiepileptics and intravenous fluids, and after 48 hours in intensive care he made a fantastic recovery and was able to go home.

We are so pleased Splodge is back to his normal self and is enjoying spending time in the garden and playing in local fields, as well as annoying the family dog by pinching her food. Go, Splodge! 🐈

Lunch and learn at Broadway Vets! 🥪

Medicine nurse Sophie McMurrough holds the prestigious Veterinary Technician Specialist title, recognising her advanced skills and knowledge in this area. Sophie loves all aspects of veterinary medicine but has a passion for diabetic patients and runs her own diabetic nurse clinics to provide support to owners and their pets. 🐕

Sophie recently shared her enthusiasm and knowledge in this area by holding a lunch and learn session for some of the nurses at Broadway Vets on the Wirral.

It’s so inspiring to see our talented nurses share their experiences with others and we can’t wait to hold more of these sessions!

Introducing our Billing Administrator Leeann and her dog Axel. 🐕

Axel is a Llewellyn setter who had been abandoned in Romania. 💔

Leeann adopted him from a local rescue when he was four years old. Initially, he was extremely nervous but with Leeann’s patience, he now loves nothing more than coming into the office and meeting the NWVS team, who have also worked hard by supporting his needs.

Axel recently underwent arthroscopy and bicep tenotomy but he is recovering well with the help of our hospital team. ❤️‍🩹

Leeann first started at NWVS in 2009 as an Animal Care Assistant and progressed to a Team Leader, working between wards and diagnostics. In 2016, she became the first Billing Administrator at NWVS which, with her clinical background, proves very beneficial.

Leeann is passionate about animals and also has two horses which keep her busy in her spare time. 🐎

Thank you to everyone who attended our feline medicine CPD at Chester Zoo! 🐾

We had a fantastic turnout of nearly 100 nurses and vets who came to our CPD on 18 June. They learnt more about lower urinary tract disease, ophthalmic conditions, seizure management, pelvic fracture management and oncology treatment in cats.

It was an absolute scorcher of a day, so a visit from the ice cream van was very welcome! ☀️ 🍦

Huge thanks to Eye Vet Ophthalmology Specialist Laurence Occelli, our NWVS team Francesca Venier, Jessica Grant, Nick McDonald, Rory Fentem and to Domes Pharma UK for sponsoring this event. We can’t wait for the next one!

Getting to grips with knots! 🪢

Surgery Clinician Ed Crystal recently hosted an evening focused on practising suture patterns and techniques, with support from Panos Kokkinos (Surgery Resident) and Emma Horn (Theatre Nurse).

It was great to see so many nurses who were keen to put their new skills into practice and feel more confident in their suturing knowledge and capabilities.

One nurse told us that following this CPD, they had already sutured a wound back at their practice! 👏

Throughout May, we teamed up with the amazing teams at Broadway Veterinary Clinic and My Pet's Vet to host three fantastic first aid events, all to celebrate the vital work of our veterinary nurses in both referral and primary care. 💙

We welcomed more than 50 dog owners, all eager to learn how to respond in emergencies. From perfecting CPR compressions to practising bandaging techniques, everyone got stuck in and made it a fun and informative experience. 🙌

One attendee left us some glowing feedback:

🗣️ “Tina spoke so passionately about such important first aid treatments/management to educate us dog owners. I do feel more equipped now on how I would deal with or help another dog owner if needed.”

A huge thank-you to everyone who came along and, of course, to our wonderful nurses who make events such as this possible. 💛
