Meet lovely Luna — a senior cat at the grand old age of 18 and a half, who came to us for a second opinion on her severe entropion in her right eye🐱👁️

What is entropion? 🧐 It's a condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing the fur and skin to rub directly against the surface of the eye. (Picture 1)

Signs to watch for in your cat:

- Excessive squinting or keeping one eye closed
- Watery or mucous discharge from the eye
- Pawing or rubbing at the eye
- Redness or visible irritation around the eyelid

Surgical correction is normally the treatment of choice for these cases - but Luna had a number of underlying health conditions including chronic kidney disease and a significant heart murmur, potentially increasing her risk of general anaesthesia.

So, we decided to adopt a different approach and use eyelid filler instead 💉 — a minimally invasive technique where a small amount of filler containing cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid is injected to gently evert the eyelid back to its correct position. It's a brilliant option for older patients who may not be ideal candidates for general anaesthesia.

She's already so much more comfortable, and as you can see from Picture 2, the hairs are no longer rubbing on Luna's eye! 😊

We do not believe that every patient is the same and always tailor treatments for each pet as an individual. If you're concerned about your cat's eyes, don't wait — give us a call and we'll take a look.

💕🌟 Bo’s Story 🌟💕

At 12 years young, Bo is truly one of the bravest dogs we know.

Over the years, she’s been through a lot, including a hip replacement, cancer treatment and surgery for a cruciate ligament injury. But recently, she faced her biggest challenge yet - a shoulder dislocation that left her in significant pain and unable to use her leg. 😢

We initially performed a minimally invasive procedure to stabilise her shoulder using arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) and a toggle. Despite a strong start, the repair unfortunately failed—not once, but twice—due to severe ligament damage.

At this point, we were faced with some very difficult decisions:

• Was it fair to put her through another major surgery?
• Could she safely undergo another anaesthetic at her age?
• Could she cope without surgery—or even with amputation?

Sadly, none of the alternatives were viable. Bo was in pain, and her quality of life was affected.

So, together with her incredibly dedicated owners, we made the decision to give her one final chance: a shoulder arthrodesis—a complex salvage procedure that involves permanently fusing the joint.

However, in order to give her the best chance, we decided to obtain custom made guides and bone models using CT and 3D printing to help pre-contour the implants prior to surgery - this would give us 'perfect-fit' implants and give Bo the best chance to be pain-free again.

This was a true team effort. Using advanced CT imaging with the help of Cambridge Radiology Referrals, custom 3D planning and 3D printed patient-specific surgical guides from Vet3D we were able to carefully plan and perform this highly specialised procedure with the help of the amazing team .

And the result? 💫

Bo is recovering beautifully and is already back to her happy (and slightly demanding! 😂) self.

What makes her story even more special is her spirit. Despite everything she’s been through, she still walks into the practice with a wagging tail, demanding treats from her people! 🤣

An incredible dog, with an equally incredible family. This was a first for the team at Max and Min and we hope to be able to use these new and innovative techniques to help other patients in the future. 🫶

🐾 CMA Update 🐾

Today’s update from the CMA highlights some important proposed changes for the veterinary sector — particularly around improving transparency, communication, and client choice.

At Max and Min Veterinary Practice, we welcome this direction and want to reassure our clients that we are already aligned with many of these recommendations.

Transparency has always been at the heart of what we do. From clear discussions about treatment options and costs, to ensuring you have the information you need to make the best decisions for your pet, this isn’t something new for us — it’s part of our everyday standard of care.

We believe in:

👉 Open and honest communication
👉 Clear, upfront pricing including written cost estimates for procedures and transparent pricing available on our website
👉 Supporting informed client choice and offering written prescriptions at a fair price
👉 Putting patient welfare first, always
👉 Extremely good value health plans
👉We know that trust is built through clarity, consistency, and compassion — and we remain committed to maintaining those values in everything we do.

If you ever have questions about your pet’s care, treatment options, or costs, our team is always here to help.

Thank you for all your support and understanding during this time. We are delighted that this investigation is now complete and will continue to work to continually improve and advance pet healthcare. 🫶

Laparoscopic 'keyhole' spays

Did you know? At Max & Min, we’re proud to offer laparoscopic (“keyhole”) procedures for patients of any size — including even the smallest of patients.

This tiny girl weighed just 3kg 🐾

You might wonder — why perform keyhole surgery in such a small patient?

Because size doesn’t change physiology — and comfort matters at every weight.

Laparoscopic surgery allows us to perform a traditional spay using a camera and specialised instruments through very small incisions.
In her case, they were just 3mm and 5mm.

So what does that mean for your pet?

• Less pain
• Faster recovery
• Smaller surgical wounds
• Greater surgical precision and visualisation
• A smoother, more stable anaesthetic

By operating inside the abdomen with enhanced magnification, we avoid the traction and tension associated with traditional open techniques.

Less trauma = less inflammation = more comfort.

Most of our keyhole patients are brighter, more comfortable and often back to their usual selves the same day they go home.
Many are ready to return to normal exercise in around 5 days, rather than the typical 10–14 days advised after standard spays.

Advanced equipment. Thoughtful technique. Better patient experience.

Because at Max & Min, we believe even the smallest patients deserve the highest standard of care. 💙

We do now accept referrals for keyhole procedures from other veterinary practices too. Simply get in touch with our team to find out more or ask your vet for a referral.

The new first step in early cancer detection has arrived Max & Min Veterinary Practice - The Vista IQ

We are the first clinic in the country to take delivery of this new and upgraded piece of technology from the team

This new device uses Heat Diffusion Imaging to scan cutaneous and subcutaneous lumps providing an instant results to help better understand the cancer risk of a mass all without the need of any invasive testing.

The upgraded interface now allows more advanced scanning and assessment of lumps in areas previously inaccessible by the original HT Vista using a narrower aperture and laser grid.

Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing the device in action to show you how this upgraded piece of technology can really help detect and treat cancer in dogs.

More information can be found on our website or get in touch with our team to learn more about how we can identify cancer early 🖥
