** Stem Cell Therapy **

Does your dog suffer from arthritis yet surgery is not a viable option and medical therapy has failed?

Stem cell therapy uses cells taken from your own dog that are then grown and activated in a laboratory to be injected into your dog’s affected joint(s). The effects can last up to 12 months and the cells are preserved at the lab so more can be grown for further injections.

This therapy has been scientifically proven to reduce pain and lameness in those suffering from the inflammatory effects of arthritis.

We are offering this service at Rose Valley Vets for fixed price packages. Most pet insurance companies will cover this treatment in full!

If you’ve been a client of ours for a while, you’ll undoubtedly have met the practice dog Alfie. He is 12 years old and has undergone cruciate surgery in both legs and has IVDD in multiple places along his back. In recent months he has been intermittently lame due to arthritis in his elbow. His case is not surgical currently and he hasn’t responded to medical therapy. Therefore, he is undergoing stem cell treatment.

Here he is after the first stage of his procedure. We will keep you up to date with his progress!

** Puppy and Dog Vaccination Update **

As you may have heard already, the pharmaceutical company that manufactures the vaccinations for puppies and dogs has decided to no longer supply the two strain leptospirosis vaccination (commonly known as Lepto 2).

We have finished our supply of lepto2, therefore, moving forward any dog or puppy that has received the Lepto2 vaccination previously will need to receive the L4. This will require 2 vaccinations, 4 weeks apart.

The pharmaceutical company are offering the second vaccination free of charge therefore there is no extra cost to you for ensuring your pet is fully vaccinated.

In addition, many insurers these days require your pet to be up to date with vaccinations, therefore you run the risk of voiding your policy if you don’t keep your dog up to date.

There is no need to rush into booking an appointment. The vet will simply use the lepto4 vaccine at your usual booster appointment and request a further appointment in 4 weeks time.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions. Equally, however, we will not tolerate any abuse received regarding this matter. It is not a decision the practice has made and there is nothing we can do. Any complaints or comments can be referred to MSD Animal Health.

Charlie having some chill time after his “senior pet MOT”!

Cats are notorious pain disguisers and the subtle signs of pain can go unnoticed.

Has your older cat been acting more grumpy recently? Has a hesitancy to jump? Hiding? Not grooming? Yowling in the middle of the night for no reason? All of these can be signs of pain. Remember, “they’re just old” is not a reason - a cat should be lively, happy and playful whether they’re 2 or 22!

Book a senior cat MOT to make sure your cat stays as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

We understand it can be a stressful time getting your cat to the vets - try popping the cat carrier in the house for a week before the appointment. We do everything we can to make your appointment as calming as possible. We take our time, let your cat explore the consult room and have a lot of dreamies on hand for bribery!

Charlie was a rescue cat and spends most of his days on a farm but he certainly wasn’t bothered being in for the day. And to top it off, his bloods came back all ok 💪🏻

Oh, Sandie! We may have fallen a little bit in love with your sweet face!

Sandie has been a tough puppy whilst recovering from a broken bone.

Many fractures require surgical repair particularly in breeds such as Dachshunds, however as Sandie is so young and only the ulna is fractured, she is a good candidate for a cast. To avoid complications, we have used a half cast to allow for growth whilst still supporting the bone to heal.

Sandie has been an amazing patient - even tolerating us dabbling with our artistic side!

Suggestions for her next bandage design??

For those visiting the practice in the coming weeks, we do apologise for the rather strong farmyard smell throughout the practice! We are hospitalising Horncliffe the sheep for a substantial wound to his leg.

We are trying our best to cover the smell!

Thank you for your understanding!

** NOW OFFERING TPLO SURGERY **

Cranial cruciate ligament failure in large dogs such as Rotties and Bully's remains a very common issue and is often a surgery that your GP vet will refer for surgical correction. TPLO has become the gold standard for cruciate surgery in dogs over 20Kg.

Following completion of her Small Animal Surgical Certificate and a further TPLO dedicated course, Francesca is now able to offer this complex surgery at Rose Valley.

By offering this procedure at our practice, you can take comfort in knowing that your dog is being cared for by the team that you have come to know and trust.

We offer a fixed price TPLO package at £3800. The cost of the package reflects the level of expertise required to perform this procedure, yet is lower than referral costs, and encompasses ALL the after-care your pet will need to ensure a smooth recovery.

The package includes-
• General anaesthetic with the most modern equipment ensuring a thorough monitoring of your pet under anaesthetic
• Pre, intra and post-operative pain relief and medication
• Surgery by a surgery certificate holder
• High quality implants utilising locking technology
• Overnight hospitalisation in our dedicated in-patient ward whereby your pet is monitored and comforted throughout the night by one of our nursing team in close consultation with our vet on-call
• Suture removal and bandage changes
• 6-week post-operative radiographs
• 6 laser therapy rehabilitation sessions

Rehabilitation is paramount to a successful TPLO, so referral to our rehab partners Canine Health & Hydro. will be encouraged. The only thing worse than no physio is bad physio! These guys are fantastic in what they do and work closely with the vet to ensure a robust treatment plan.

Get in touch with the practice on 01282 930 190 to discuss all your options.

**Lost**

Please can you keep an eye out for Winnie. Winnie has managed to escape from her carrier this morning in our car park before making it into the practice!
She was last seen crossing the road and heading under the bridge.

She's very nervous so may be hiding.

If you see her please contact us on 01282 930190.

Two ginger boys to the rescue!

“Ginge” and “Monkey” became potential life savers by donating their blood to a poorly cat.

Blood transfusions in cats is a little different to dogs and unfortunately, there is no pet blood bank for cats. Therefore, if a feline friend requires blood, it’s a matter of finding suitable donors then and there. In this case it was the nurse’s and the vet’s own cats.

Time will tell if this procedure became a life-saving one.

It’s always tough being a vet’s/nurse’s pet - you get volunteered for so many things you never dreamed of doing!

𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝑨𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑹𝒆𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕

Last week the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced its initial review had highlighted some concerns within the industry, particularly with the rise in cost of veterinary care and the huge increase in the number of veterinary practices owned by six major corporate groups.

We are a proudly independent practice, with the practice owner seeing clients and pets every day. We aim to be transparent with our prices with common costs available on our website and estimates are given ahead of any procedure. We understand that financial situations differ and endeavour to provide a range of options to find the best solution for the individual circumstances. That being said, the practice still has wages to pay, utility bills, wholesaler costs and more. This practice is someone’s livelihood - we make our prices fair but do still need to charge for our services!

We stock a wide range of medications at our surgeries as we know our clients appreciate the convenience, speed and reliability of being able to obtain medications at the time of a consultation or procedure. However, we are also happy to provide a written prescription upon request to clients who wish to source medications from an alternative supplier.

We are extremely grateful for our lovely clients who have remained supportive and polite at this time but sadly we have had our share of unfairly angry phone calls and social media posts.

The Rose Valley team work hard every day to provide care for your animal; between us we have completed over 20 years of studying and obtained over 20 years of experience. Unfortunately in our profession, not everything is textbook; our patients don’t respond to our treatment the way they should or we have to work within your financial constraints - this shouldn’t reflect badly upon us. We do our best with what we have - knowledge, experience, modern equipment and a very good team.

We will always try and work with you, but our day-to-day world is tough enough without unreasonable anger. Therefore, if you are abusive to any member of our team that is deemed unreasonable, we will not tolerate it and you will be asked to find an alternative practice.

Last night saw a call out for a feathered friend rather than the furry kind!

Mrs Chicken was suffering from crop stasis, which means the crop is not emptying as quickly and effectively as it should. If left untreated, it can turn into life threatening sour crop.

The crop of a chicken is the first part of their digestive system and stores food before moving into the stomach. Crop stasis can be due to large objects such as rocks that the chicken mistakes for bugs, which then can’t pass through into the stomach. However, in this case the culprit was several pieces of corn kernels.

Mrs chicken underwent surgery to remove the culprits and has recovered very well! She gave the practice her dawn chorus this morning!

Laser Therapy Vs Demodectic Mange

Young Betty was suffering with very sore, red and itchy skin.

Demodex was found to be the cause! Demodex is a mite that lives in the hair follicles of all dogs and whilst their immune system is functioning normally, it will cause no harm. Demodectic mange most often occurs when a dog has an immature immune system (i.e puppies) allowing the number of skin mites to increase rapidly.

The mites are easily killed with certain medication. However, it is the severe inflammation to the skin that makes puppies feel so unwell. This is why we recommend a course of laser therapy to reduce the inflammation of the skin much sooner.

After just one laser session, the redness in Betty’s face dramatically reduced and her owners saw her happy, puppy self coming back! Betty continued with laser therapy sessions, once weekly for 6 weeks and is now fully healthy!

If you’d like to know more about laser therapy, just give the practice a call. There are a number of conditions it can be used for!

Star patient of the week! Wilma is only 10 weeks old but has overcome pneumonia. This little girl couldn’t eat or drink because of the infection in her lungs, so she was hospitalised with us and had round the clock care. She came back for her recheck today and she is back to her playful puppy self! An absolute joy to see 🥰 Well done Wilma!

From our family to yours, wishing you a Merry and healthy Christmas!

Happy Birthday to our very own Alfie who turns 9 today! Rescued from the streets when he was just 6 months old, Alfie now spends his time following whichever team member has food or putting his PAT (pet as therapy) license to good use by getting cuddles from our clients 🥰 There are many dogs and cats out there that need a good, loving home. If you’re considering a new addition to the family, adoption is a very rewarding experience for all 🐶

Our pets can be infected by many different parasites. The video below shows a segment of a tapeworm which was found on a cat in the surgery! Tapeworms have a hook like mouth fo attach to the intestines and can grow up to 30cm in length. They release segments that are known as proglottids which contain eggs. These look like grains of rice and can usually be seen around the animals anus. We can easily treat parasites here at the surgery so If you are concerned that your animal may have worms, contact us to discuss how we can treat and prevent parasites!
