🦴Femoral Head ostectomy🦴

Marmite recently underwent a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) performed by Christos, a surgical procedure performed to alleviate hip pain and improve comfort and mobility.🐾

Following surgery, the focus shifts to recovery, including appropriate pain management, controlled activity, and a carefully monitored rehabilitation plan. Each patient’s recovery is unique, and ongoing care is essential to achieving the best possible outcome.

We wish this brave Marmite a smooth recovery and look forward to seeing continued progress toward a more comfortable, active life. 💙

🩺Surgical practice🩺

Ever wondered how vets touch up their surgical skills? Using cadavers! Or in this case the eye of a cadaver.👀

Below, you can see out opthalmologist Carlos performing a corneal graft. ✨

A corneal graft is a surgical procedure in which damaged or diseased tissue (the clear front layer of the eye) is replaced or repaired using donor tissue or a graft from the animal itself.

Why is this procedure done?

👀 To restore corneal integrity and vision (when possible)
👀 Repair deep corneal ulcers,perforationa or severe corneal damage
👀 Prevent loss of the eye

Post-operatively the patient will be prescribed pain relief and eye medications.

A corneal graft is a sight saving procedure used mainly in veterinary opthalmology to repair severe corneal damage and preserve the eye.

If you have an opthalmic case that need to be referred, Carlos is accepting cases!

🐾Meet Selkie🐾

Selkie is a 1 year old Staffie. Selkie's owners decided it was time for her to be spayed and wanted to have her under go a laproscopic spay rather than the traditional approach which involves opening the abdomen. ✨

Laproscopic spay vs traditional spay, what is the difference❓

Laparoscopic spay (keyhole surgery): This involves making two or three small incisions in the abdomen. A camera and specialised instruments are used to remove the ovaries. It generally causes less post-operative pain, allows a quicker recovery and leaves smaller wounds.

Traditional spay (open surgery): This involves making one larger incision in the abdomen to remove the ovaries. It is a well-established procedure, which is widely available at the majority of vets. Recovery may involve more discomfort and a longer period of restricted activity.

The main difference: Laparoscopic spaying is minimally invasive and often offers a more comfortable recovery, while traditional spaying is more widely available and typically more common . Both are effective methods of preventing pregnancy when performed successfully.

If you have any questions regarding laproscopic spays or were intrested in booking your pet in for one feel free to contact us via email or give us a call.

🐾❤️ A SUCCESS STORY: HOPE, COURAGE & A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE! ❤️🐾

Meet this brave little Dachshund who suffered from acute paralysis caused by Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), a serious spinal condition that can suddenly take away a dog's ability to walk.

Thanks to the expertise and dedication of our Head of Neurology, Prof. Dr. Marios Charalambous, the little one underwent surgery successfully! 🙏🩺🐶

This is a wonderful reminder of how timely intervention, specialist knowledge, and compassionate veterinary care can make a life-changing difference. ❤️

A huge thank you to Prof. Dr. Marios Charalambous for his skill, commitment, and dedication to helping our beloved four-legged friends. 🌟
We wish this little fighter a smooth recovery, lots of strength, and many happy moments ahead! 🐾💖

Never underestimate the power of hope — every little fighter deserves a chance. 🐶❤️

🩺🐾Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)🐾🩺

Meet Bear! Bear presented to us after being referred by our sister hospital Mead after experiencing hind limb weakness after experiencing a few weeks of spinal sensitivity when touched. After having a vet exam him at Mead, it was noticed that there was spinal discomfort present that hadn't resolved with medical management. 🐾

As a result of this, Bear came to see Professor Dr. Marios for a full in depth neurology examination. During this examination Bears reflexes, posture and cranial nerves were checked. Marios had noticed there were defecits in Bears pelvic limbs.

Consequently, Marios decided that Bear should go ahead and have an MRI scan, this specific MRI focused on 4 different areas on Bears spine. This allows us to gain multiple images of different sites to allow for close inspection and examination rather than using 1 big overall image.

The images were sent off to specialist radiographers who determined that Bear has mild compression of the spinal cord (as shown by the yellow arrow in the MRI image).A hernaited disk (slipped disk) was also discovered.

With the help of advanced imaging we were able to pin point the cause of Bears symptoms which allows us to treat accordingly and create a personalised treatment plan.

We wish Bear all the best!🐶

🐾Fracture repair🐾

Meet Pepper!

Pepper came in to see Surgeon Christos after she unfortunately fractured her left distal radius and ulna.🦴

Luckily for Pepper, Christos knew exactly how to fix the fracture! Surgery was performed and the fracture was reduced then repaired using a plate and screws.

What recovery usually looks like❤️‍🩹

Days 1–3: Pain relief and rest
Your pet may be sleepy from the anaesthetic, reluctant to walk, or only lightly touch the paw to the floor. Pain relief is prescribed. Some swelling can occur, but it should not worsen significantly.

Weeks 1–2: Strict rest
Short, controlled toilet trips on a lead, with confinement to a crate or small room when indoors. No running, jumping, stairs, or playing. The incision needs to stay clean and dry, and a follow-up appointment is usually arranged to check the wound.

Weeks 3–6: Early bone healing
Your pet may be using the leg more comfortably, but the bone is still healing. Activity restrictions remain essential. Your vet may take X-rays to check progress, particularly if your pet is a small dog or has a complicated fracture.

Weeks 6–12: Gradual return to activity
Repeat X-rays help determine when activity can increase. Many uncomplicated fractures in young animals heal in roughly 6–8 weeks, while adult animals, complicated fractures and some small-breed dogs may need 8–12 weeks or longer. Normal exercise should resume gradually, only when your vet confirms sufficient healing.

We will see you soon for your post-op x-rays Pepper 🥰🥰

🧤Open gloving contest🧤

Vca vs manager/RVN vs receptionist
Who can put their gloves on the fastest while remaining sterile?👀 Who will win 🤔
Keep watching to see our second and better attempt! ❤️

What is open gloving?

Sterile open gloving is a technique used to put on sterile gloves without contaminating their outer surfaces. It is commonly used in healthcare when performing sterile procedures, such as wound dressing, catheterisation, or other clinical tasks that require aseptic technique.
The word open means that the gloves are put on without using a sterile gown.

Well done to the winners 🥳

Disclaimer:
These gloves were not used in a sterile environment after this video had been made,this video was made for a bit of fun with the team. 🙂
