💛 Wear Yellow Day for Cystic Fibrosis. 💛

Our Small Animal Surgery Specialist Andy Craig has been helping to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust Charity Event

Andy says: "For the past two years, I've sent out a work-wide e-mail stating that I would donate £5 for every person who wore yellow and sent a photo to me.

"This year, I raised about £650, with Linnaeus kindly donating to the pot, so in total the donation was around £900.

"In total, more than £900 was raised by my colleagues wearing yellow and submitting photos, so a huge thank-you to everyone who took part!"

Earlier this year, our Cardiologist Gavin McAulay put his best foot forward to climb the UK's famous Three Peaks! 😲

Gavin's brilliant achievement was in aid of the charity Turning Tides Ending Local Homelessness, which helps to support homeless people in Sussex.

Well done, Gavin, time to put your feet up!

Regular check-ups are key to preventing and managing pain in pets.

Our NDSR Pain Management Clinic is here to support your pet’s health every step of the way.

Check-ups are scheduled to assess the effectiveness of a medication or after interventions to ensure we see an improvement. If we don't see any improvement, it means we can take other actions to ensure pets can still do things such as tackle stairs pain-free and live an active and healthy a life as possible. ❤️

To support veterinary professionals, Francesca Tee from our Ophthalmology team has published an in-depth article looking at Feline Eosinophilic Keratoconjunctivitis (FEK). 👁️

FEK is a chronic and progressive infiltrative disease of the cornea and conjunctiva in cats. It's sadly described as a disease that cannot be cured, only controlled.

In part one of this series, Francesca gives an overview of this condition, reviews the symptoms to look out for and looks at how to recognise possible cases >> https://bit.ly/3XNaR4J

Pain awareness and pain scales. 📈

Here at NDSR, to help manage chronic long-term pain in patients, we use pain questionnaires to assess your pet’s level of pain.

Even though our animals can't tell us directly where or how much it hurts, by assessing changes in behaviours, willingness to exercise and how much the pain is interfering with their day-to-day life, we can gain information on the effectiveness of a treatment or interventional management, such as injecting pain killers closer to where it hurts.
