Vets and vet nurses! Don’t miss our upcoming (in-person) CPD evening with specialists Katia Marioni-Henry and James Guthrie on Tues 8th July.

🐾 Join Katia for an interactive dive into feline neurology! 🐈

Step into the fascinating world of feline neurology through an engaging, hands-on case discussion featuring real patient videos. From the commonly seen to the truly puzzling, Katia will work through a variety of neurological cases that will challenge your clinical thinking and sharpen your diagnostic skills.

Katia has over 25 years of experience in feline neurology, so this session brings the insights of a true expert who has dedicated her career to working with cats affected by neurological conditions. You’ll benefit from decades of clinical knowledge, practical strategies, and a deep passion for feline neurological care.

During this session, you’ll actively practise how to:

🔸Spot subtle and obvious neurological abnormalities in cats.
🔸Pinpoint lesion locations using your exam findings.
🔸Build smart, prioritised differential lists based on patient signalment and history.
🔸Explore diagnostic and treatment strategies - especially in real-world situations where budget matters.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just diving into neurology, this session is designed to enhance your confidence and clinical acumen with feline patients.

Did you know we now offer a referral dentistry service? Since January, we’ve been helping a host of lovely patients with both complex and more routine dental and oral conditions.

Such as little Chihuahua cross Estella, who even helped supervise her report being written with Dentistry, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Registrar Hannah! She also lapped up the fuss from Dental RVN Jess. 💙

Fabulous eyebrows. Fabulous beard… and no, I don’t mean me. Meet Ada!

Unfortunately her front left leg was a bit wonky, which is why this wonderful meeting happened - Ada also happens to be the canine friend of the lead nurse on my advanced surgical team. No pressure right?

Ada was affected by antebrachial growth deformity and I performed a customised antebrachial growth deformity correction surgery, in this case, to realign the elbow relative to the carpus. I am happy to say, this was a success and both Ada and Amelia are happy.

Happy dog, happy mum. Happy nurse, happy surgeon! x

This gorgeous golden girl has officially turned 18 this month, and we couldn't be more thrilled to celebrate such a special milestone! 💙

Lovely to welcome marvellous Moose back to the practice. As you can see, he received a warm welcome and plenty of fuss from our prep team! Two-year-old Irish Wolfhound Moose first visited our neurology team back in 2023 as a puppy! We hope Moose is doing better after his epidural injection. 💙

If you and your primary care vet feel that your animal friend has a condition which requires specialist expertise, or if you or your vet want a second opinion, then a referral is arranged.

You have the right to ask for a referral, and to specify where you want to be referred to.

A referral can only be made by your vet, and we work as partners in care with them to give your animal friend all the options. 👍
