🩺 Boogie’s Road to Recovery 🩺

Remember Boogie, our brave little pup who came in after a nasty accident with an e-bike? 🐶💙 He underwent orthopaedic surgery at the practice to repair a fractured humerus, with a metal plate fitted.

We’re thrilled to share that Boogie has officially made a full recovery! 🎉🐶

After undergoing surgery to repair a fractured humerus following an e-bike accident, Boogie recently returned for his post-op X-rays — and we’re happy to report everything has healed beautifully. 💪🦴

Not only is Boogie back to his playful, happy self, but he’s also grown so much since we first met him — it’s hard to believe he’s the same tiny pup who came through our doors just a few weeks ago! 🐾💙

Huge thanks once again to his wonderful owners for their dedication and care, and to the team at VetXS for their expert surgical support.

We’re so happy to see Boogie thriving and back to living his best life! 🌟

With less than 3 weeks to go, now is a good time to start preparing your pets for the loud bangs and flashing lights that come with firework season.

Whilst it is an exciting time of year for many, it can be overshadowed by concern for our pets.

We suggest you consider the following now to help them through the next 3-4 weeks:
- Build a den for your pets now and get them used to it in the lead up to bonfire night - visit https://bit.ly/3yRKiyc to find out more
- Book an appointment with our nurses to discuss natural supplements and other options which may help manage unwanted behaviours
- Ensure your pets ID is up to date (particularly if you've moved house ensure you've updated your contact details online)
- Create a routine for your pets which continues beyond the firework season

🐾 Bruno’s Brave Journey 🐾

Meet Bruno — a sweet, spirited 4-year-old whose world turned upside down after a sudden fall left him with multiple pelvic fractures. 💔

Bruno came to us with acute pain and lameness in his hind leg. Radiographs confirmed a serious injury: fractures in both sides of his pelvis and a pelvic subluxation. Thankfully, his hip joints and pelvic canal were not affected, giving this little fighter a chance at a strong recovery. 🙏

We’ll be monitoring him closely over the coming weeks, but this tough little terrier has already shown us just how strong and resilient he is. 💪🐶

Preparation is key to help your pets cope with Bonfire Night and fireworks.

🎆As the dark nights draw in, bonfire night will be here faster than you think. Whilst many humans find fireworks exciting, they can be stressful and scary for our pets. These days bonfire night is rarely one night and often a week long event which makes it hard to prepare.

🎆 As bonfire night is approaching we will release a blog on our website of our 'top tips' for helping your pet cope on bonfire night, and making a safe space for your pet on bonfire night, but, with just under 5 weeks to go - there is still time to consider desensitisation, so that your dog or cat learns not to be so worried rather than having to resort to how to manage their fear on the night.

🎆 If you have a puppy or kitten, a young age is the perfect time to start desensitisation. Dogs that are safely and gradually exposed to many different experiences, including loud noises, during their essential socialisation period of three to 16 weeks of age, are often able to cope more effectively with loud, frightening sounds like fireworks or loud engine noises. Desensitisation involves

🎆 Playing firework sounds from your radio, TV or computer at home at a very low volume while pairing it with positive experiences like treats or play, keeping sessions short and increasing the volume gradually only when the dog remains calm.

🎆 Start weeks in advance (NOW!!) and monitor your pets body language for any signs of stress, stopping or lowering the volume if they show fear.

How can we help?
If you want to talk to our team, give our wonderful nursing team a call, or book in for a free consult with our nurses to discuss ways to help settle your pets prior to the fireworks and noise starting. You can book online here : https://bit.ly/4kMG0O2

🖤 Meet Zak: A Little Fighter With a Big Heart 🐾

This is Zak — a sweet, 1 year and 4 month-old Domestic Short Hair who’s been through more than most cats ever will.

Just a few weeks ago, Zak was the victim of a serious road traffic accident that left him with multiple pelvic fractures, including a sacroiliac separation and an avulsion fracture of his iliac wing. He also suffered nerve damage that initially left him unable to walk or go to the toilet on his own.

On September 9th, he underwent complex surgery to repair his pelvis, where skilled surgeons placed titanium screws and a transilial pin to hold everything in place.

Since then, he's been receiving around-the-clock care, including:
✔️ Intensive pain management
✔️ Physiotherapy and laser therapy
✔️ Urinary catheterization
✔️ Cage rest and mobility rehab

Although the road to recovery is long and uncertain — with ongoing nerve issues and limited use of his back legs — Zak is already showing signs of improvement.

He's slowly beginning to regain feeling in his hind limbs and is participating in his rehab like a champ.

Zak’s spirit hasn’t dimmed for a second. He’s affectionate, curious, and determined to get back on his paws — one step at a time. 🐾💜
