Poncho’s Christmas Miracle: A Life-Saving Cardiac Intervention 🎄❤️

On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, Poncho arrived at Blaise Veterinary Referral Hospital with concerning symptoms of severely decreased heart rate (bradycardia), lethargy, vomiting, anorexia, and episodes of weakness.
Initial investigations revealed a pathological arrhythmia, meaning Poncho’s heart was beating at just 15-20 beats per minute. This abnormal rhythm is most likely caused by a degenerative disease affecting the heart’s electrical system. The only effective treatment for this condition is the implantation of a pacemaker.
After a thorough discussion with Poncho’s owners, we moved forward with the pacemaker implantation later that evening. The procedure went smoothly, and Poncho’s recovery was nothing short of remarkable—she truly is our Christmas star! 🌟
We are thrilled to report a significant improvement in Poncho’s health, with her demeanour and heart function showing marked progress just hours after the pacemaker was implanted. We’re hopeful that she will make a full recovery and enjoy the rest of the holiday season with her family.
Pictured with Poncho are Xavier Navarro-Cubas, Head of Cardiology and Lauren Osborne, Senior Cardiology Nurse.

Meet Minty 🐾

Minty was referred to the Puppy and Kitten murmur clinic here at Blaise for investigations of a heart murmur detected at his local vets. Minty had his investigations on the same day which included a Consultation and Doppler Echocardiography (heart scan) with one of our specialist Cardiologists.

As you can see Minty was very chilled out during his time with the Cardiology team and had a fuss from our nurses! Luckily, it was great news for Minty and his family as his heart is absolutely fine - we are very happy to be able to give his family such great news. ❤

Meet Teddy! 🐾

Teddy is a 6-month-old Cockapoo who was hit by a car and sustained a short oblique fracture of his right humerus with a concurrent fissure in the distal segment. Fracture repair was performed by Vassilis Chantziaras at Blaise Orthopaedics and was achieved with the placement of leg screws and a 2.0 mm neutralisation titanium locking plate, one of our brand-new fracture repair systems.

Teddy has made an excellent recovery, the fracture has healed uneventfully and 6 weeks after surgery he is able to be a carefree playful puppy once again, keeping away from cars this time 😃 Well done Teddy! ❤

Rory is a very cute little dog who was referred to the Soft Tissue service at Blaise after being diagnosed with liver masses involving two of his liver lobes and a splenic mass. The masses were causing his platelet cell count to be low (blood cells that are involved in clotting). Soft tissue surgeons Lara Dempsey and Maria Dalla Fontana performed major surgery on Rory to remove his spleen and two liver lobes. After his surgery, Rory spent a few days in the intensive care unit being closely monitored by our specialist intensive care team. His caring and committed owners were delighted to have him back home and were over the moon when the results came back as benign tumours that had been completely removed. Removing the masses has meant that Rory will not suffer life threatening haemorrhage as a result of one of the masses rupturing and he has a good long-term prognosis.
Rory is very youthful both in his appearance and spirit as you can see from the photo and astoundingly, he is 13 years old. We wish him all the very best! 🐾❤
