Harvey's Journey: A Testament to Resilience

We wouldn’t want to be without our animals this Christmas. And over the last year we know our colleagues have worked tirelessly to save countless lives across the country. 🐶🐮🐱🐴

Harvey was diagnosed with a multicentric lymphoma in April 2022 by Kasia Purzycka, our Specialist in Oncology Park Veterinary Specialists He is now one of the hospital’s longest lymphoma survivors.

Life expectancy in dogs with lymphoma without treatment is only few weeks. With treatment around 80–90% of dogs with lymphoma achieve a complete remission, with an average survival of year. This means that a large proportion of dogs can live longer than that. With the joint care of Lumbry Park Veterinary Specialists Oncology and Internal Medicine Specialists, Harvey has been able to enjoy most of the last 2.5 years and he is still going strong!

Harvey was treated with several chemotherapy protocols and his lymphoma responded very well, meaning he enjoyed long periods of remission. Most importantly, Harvey’s quality of life thorough the process remained brilliant and he was often able to travel to France with his family.

Harvey is still currently fit and well and preparing for Christmas. And the Lumbry Park Veterinary Specialists team were delighted to receive some beautiful photos along with lovely pre-Christmas message from his family.

Celebrating a Year of Excellence: A Tribute to Kat Crane

We're thrilled to celebrate the one-year anniversary of our incredible Anaesthesia Nurse Team Leader, Kat Crane!

Kat's journey in veterinary nursing began in primary care, where she gained valuable experience working with a variety of animals. Her passion for anaesthesia and critical care led her to specialize in these areas.

In 2020, Kat furthered her expertise by completing a Graduate Diploma in Professional and Clinical Nursing at the Royal Veterinary College. Her dedication to providing the highest standard of care is evident in her work. When not caring for our patients, Kat enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, horse riding, and triathlons.

We're so fortunate to have Kat as part of our team. Her expertise, compassion, and positive attitude make a significant impact on the lives of our patients.

Thank you, Kat, for your hard work and dedication!

🔬New Research Publication by Emma Sansby 🌟

We're thrilled to announce that our Anaesthesia Resident, Dr. Emma Sansby, has recently published a research paper in the Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia journal!

Her research delves into the sedative effects of butorphanol in dogs with intracranial lesions. By studying a group of dogs undergoing MRI scans, Emma's research provides valuable insights into the potential use of butorphanol as a predictor of intracranial pressure.

This groundbreaking research has the potential to improve patient care and anaesthesia protocols for dogs with neurological conditions.

Congratulations, Emma! Your dedication to advancing veterinary medicine is truly inspiring.

We are thrilled to share the exciting research led by Marc Armour, our resident in Anaesthesia and Analgesia at Lumbry Park Veterinary Specialists.

His study has shown that visually observing the oscillation of a sphygmomanometer needle provides a more accurate estimate of a dog’s blood pressure than the traditional Doppler ultrasound method. This breakthrough brings us closer to refining how we measure and manage blood pressure in our veterinary patients.

While invasive arterial blood pressure (iABP) remains the gold standard, it is not always practical in general practice. Non-invasive methods, like Doppler ultrasound, are typically used, but we know they can be less reliable.

Marc’s research, funded by the CVS Clinical Research Award, suggests that visual sphygmomanometer needle oscillation could offer a more precise alternative. This could significantly enhance our ability to monitor cardiovascular health in our patients.

We are excited about the potential of this development and its impact on our clinical practice. A big thank you to Marc for his dedication to advancing veterinary medicine!

November is Antibiotic Awareness Month – A Time to Reflect on the Role of Antimicrobials in Veterinary Care!

At Lumbry Park, we’re committed to tackling the growing challenge of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) by promoting the responsible and judicious use of antibiotics in our veterinary clinic.

Our practice is taking part in the 2024 Antibiotic Amnesty. We are asking pet owners to return any unused or leftover antibiotic medications to us for safe disposal. Please drop off any unused medications to us at the practice. You can hand them in to a vet, nurse or the reception team. This medication might be left-over from a recent prescription, antibiotics that you didn’t need or out-of-date medication.

Inappropriate disposal of unused antibiotics could contribute to antimicrobial resistance and pollute the environment through waterways, affecting our wildlife
Don’t ever give your pet, or any pet for which they haven’t been prescribed, left-over or out of date antibiotics. Using antibiotics when not needed could risk side effects, delay an accurate diagnosis for your pet, mean that your pet’s condition may not be treatable, and contributes to antimicrobial resistance. Let’s keep antibiotics working, together!

We integrate research into our everyday clinical practices, not only ensuring better patient outcomes but also contribute to the global effort to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics for future generations.

Our commitment to responsible antibiotic use includes:

Regular training for our veterinary team on the latest guidelines and research.
Close collaboration with clients to ensure appropriate antibiotic use.
Ongoing efforts to monitor and review resistance patterns in our patient population.

Together, we can help slow the rise of antimicrobial resistance and safeguard the health of both our patients and the wider community.
