Duke's journey: from injury to recovery thanks to his dedicated owners and our amazing team! 🐾

On the 18th May, 9 year-old Duke presented at our Lancaster branch with a swollen front right leg. When his elbow was clipped for examination, significant discolouration could be seen. It was thought an insect sting or thorn injury had become an abscess.

He was booked in for thorough cleaning of this under sedation but it became clear that a huge deterioration of the skin was occurring.


Duke then needed to be hospitalised for injectable pain relief and antibiotics.
Over the following days, the damaged skin left a deficit (open wound) too large, in a movable area and under too much tension to be stitched back together. Duke's owners managed this at home with medications, exercise restriction, preventing interference and regular cleaning.

*Graphic images*

When our Vets were certain the underlying tissue was healthy, on 29th May, Duke underwent surgery to close the wound over his elbow by moving some of the looser skin from his back and shoulder down and over his elbow. The surgery went well, and after another 3 nights in hospital, Duke went home to continue his recovery.

He had regular checks and diligent care by his owners and after 2 weeks, he was almost completely healed.
There was still some surgical site cleaning, monitoring and preventing infection to do, so the following weeks also were intense.

Duke remained happy and obliging throughout his many visits to the practice, and his recovery is a credit to his owners' care and attention as well as the skill of the Vets and Nurses who cared for Duke throughout.

We'll be posting more pet journeys on our pages going forward; if your animal has received treatment with us and you wish to share their story, comment below or call Ashleigh at Lancaster: 01524 32696.

🚨 Laser Therapy 🚨

By directing certain wavelengths of light to body surfaces, circulation is increased and a number of benefits are seen, including:
1) Reduced inflammation
2) Enhanced collaged production
3) Accelerated tissue repair

We can use Laser Therapy in veterinary to treat a range of conditions including:
🔵 Arthritis,
🔵Gingivitis,
🔵Disc disease,
🔵Chronic pain,
🔵Wounds, including post-surgical.

Laser Therapy is non-invasive and generally very well tolerated by patients.
💫 We are pleased to offer this service from our Milnthorpe branch. 💫
Emma, one of our Registered Vet Nurses with an additional qualification in rehabilitation, is accepting bookings and is happy to advise. Call 015395 62770 to discuss suitability.

Ticks can be as small as a sesame seed but can carry dangerous diseases, like Lyme disease, which affects both pets and humans. Tick bites often go unnoticed until symptoms appear.

🌿 Warmer weather means the start of tick season. Check your pets regularly and speak to us about tick prevention.

Talking pesky parasites in cats 🪱 🐈

Cats can get roundworm and tapeworm by accidentally eating their eggs, and it’s important to take preventative treatment by giving them a regular wormer.

Symptoms of worms include:

🐈 Weight loss
🐈 Eating more
🐈 Diarrhoea
🐈 Tapeworm segments (which look like grains of rice) in your cat’s poo

If you have any concerns or questions about worming your cat, get in touch.

It's going to be VERY hot over the coming weeks!☀️

While it means longer evenings (and a great excuse for an extra walk with your pooch), there are precautions owners need to take to keep pets safe on hot days.

On the last day of Rabbit Awareness Week 2025, we remember Alistair. 🌟

He was found as a stray when he was very young, around 8 months old.

When no-one came forward for him, was taken home by a member of our caring team. He became a confident boy who enjoyed lazing in front of the fire or chasing his people for treats. He had lots of attitude but could be affectionate at times also.

Throughout his life, he was fortunate to not experience any health issues and lived until he was 11.5 years old!

We hope you have enjoyed this week as part of . Rabbit ownership carries as many responsibilities as dog or cat ownership and can be as rewarding.

If you have questions about rabbit health and husbandry, we are always happy to chat.
