Tabby came to see us as an emergency 5 weeks ago! 🥺 She was very unwell with abdominal pain and vomiting and her blood tests showed she had high liver values. Her gall bladder looked abnormal and a sample was collected of her bile which showed she had a bacterial infection and this was likely the cause of her signs.

Tabby was quite poorly for the first two days she was in hospital with us, but thankfully she responded to her antibiotics. She was discharged with a feeding tube and lots of medications, her owners have been so dedicated and diligent in caring for her for the last month.

She was in yesterday for a check up and she was feeling so much better - she devoured her licklicks and her blood results were all normal! 👏

Well done Tabby, we are so pleased you are on the mend! 💖🐾

At Bridge Referrals, we’re proud to provide advanced veterinary ophthalmology services as part of our comprehensive multidisciplinary care. Based in the North East of England, our team combines the latest diagnostic technology, surgical techniques, and collaborative expertise to deliver the highest standards of veterinary eye care for pets.

Veterinary ophthalmology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions in animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic species. From corneal ulcers and cataracts to complex retinal or intraocular diseases, early and accurate diagnosis is vital to preserve vision, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.

Our ophthalmologists use state-of-the-art imaging and surgical equipment to manage even the most challenging eye cases — always with the comfort and welfare of each patient as our top priority.

In this video, one of our ophthalmologists, Olivia Grice, offers insight into what veterinary ophthalmology involves, what to expect during a referral, and how our team at Bridge Referrals works together to provide complete care.

Meet Boo the Chow Chow! 💖🐾

Boo was referred to our ophthalmology department back in April! 👁️

Boo had upper and lower eyelid entropion, this is where the eyelids roll in and the hairs on the skin rub the ocular surface, and in Boo’s case, was causing corneal ulceration in her right eye! She was very sore and couldn’t open her eyelids! 🥺 One of our ophthalmologists Sarah, performed surgery to shorten all four eyelids and to turn the eyelids out to correct the entropion.

Boo’s owner recently sent us these gorgeous photos, they are thrilled with the results, Boo is now back to her happy self! 💖🐾

The lovely Luna! 😍

It’s not very often our patients see reception from this side of the desk but she seems very at home here! 💖

Luna is always a welcome face at Bridge! She is a beautiful Saluki cross who is being investigated by our internal medicine team for bone marrow abnormalities.

She is never phased by her visits and, as you can see, is certainly not shy! 💖🐾

The handsome Bertie has completed his initial therapy for an aggressive bone cancer called osteosarcoma! 🩵🐾

His treatment consisted of full staging, a limb amputation and five rounds of a chemotherapy infusion called carboplatin!

He has done so well and we will see him back in one month for a recheck and ensure his awful disease is still under control! 🫶

He has a lot of fans here and we all look forward to seeing him back! ❤️
