Are you ready to transform your garden this summer? 🌻🌷🌼

We're thrilled to offer a unique opportunity to do so while supporting a good cause. Our reception area is now home to a diverse selection of plants, all nurtured from seed 🌱by Leanne, one of our exceptional Registered Veterinary Nurses. These plants are not just a beautiful addition to your garden but also a symbol of your support for 'Help Street Cats and Dogs '. 🐶🐱

👩‍⚕️🙌 In continued celebration of Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, today, we would like to introduce Elicia Freeman, our Clinical Nursing Manager, who has been an indispensable part of our team for the past nine years, qualified 10 years ago as a Registered Veterinary Nurse. 💚

Elicia's journey at WMR is a testament to her dedication and growth. Starting as a Nurse, she advanced to a Senior Nurse and is now our Clinical Nursing Manager, leading a team of 32 professionals.

Our diverse team, comprising Lead Registered Veterinary Nurses, Registered Veterinary Nurses, Student Veterinary Nurses, and Patient Care Assistants, works in harmony to drive clinical excellence. Their collective efforts embody our mission of making A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS, a mission Elicia has championed with unwavering dedication and expertise.

Elicia's favourite moments at WMR are "watching colleagues grow into their roles and career progression. We all work closely together and drive for clinical excellence."

Elicia shared that one of the most memorable moments of her career was when she worked as a Student Veterinary Nurse. During her work with the RSPCA, she played a crucial role in helping a Staffordshire Bull Terrier recover from its injuries and providing the necessary care for the dog over four weeks. After several weeks, the dog was successfully discharged and was able to find a new, loving home.

Elicia, we are grateful for your invaluable contributions to our team, patients, and clients. We are also in awe of your unwavering dedication and hard work, which are a testament to your exceptional character and commitment to excellence.

Thank you for your continued dedication to our patients, clients, and team, Elicia. We appreciate all that you do! 💚

Say hello to three-year-old Spice, a championship-winning Korthals Griffon who was referred to us after almost losing her tail following a mystery accident. 🐶

After being referred with a circular wound with the tail tip missing, Nikki Shingler, our Veterinary Physiotherapist, performed pioneering laser therapy to heal the wound without surgical intervention.

Thanks to our successful treatment, Spice, whose show name is Fidelix Infinity, went on to compete in Crufts - way to go, Spice! Keep being a champion. 🥇

03/05/2024

We're so pleased to hear this feedback from the owner of brave Bella! 💕

"We were referred to WMR just before Christmas after Bella ruptured a cruciate ligament. We were understandably anxious about what would happen and how Bella would cope with surgery and recovery.

Bella had surgery a week after being seen by Marcin, one of the vets at WMR. Marcin also did her surgery. He explained clearly what would happen during surgery and the early days following surgery.

Bella stayed overnight, and we were asked about her preferences by the nurses, who clearly cared about her and looked after her well.

When we took her home, Bella was a little sorry for herself and slow to get going, and she also reacted to one of the drugs. Marcin was, again, really helpful and saw her the same day I rang, changed her drugs and made her more comfortable.

When we had a setback whilst walking, Andy saw us again at short notice and reassured us.

All the staff at WMR have been great. If I have rung in, reception staff have been calm and helpful, as have the vets, and staff on the front desk are always welcoming and cheerful.

Bella has had excellent treatment, as have her owners, and we are happy to recommend WMR."

We wish Bella all the best with her ongoing recovery. 💪

01/05/2024

Did you know, May is ?

This month we'll be shining the spotlight on our brilliant nursing team to celebrate all the important work they do here.

First up, meet Brodie, a Student Veterinary Nurse. Take a look at what she has to say about her experience at West Midlands Referrals 🎬

Meet Loki, the brave puppy who stole the heart of our Practice Administrator, Ann Staniland! 🐶💖

Ann's journey with Loki began when he was just 10 weeks old, referred to us from a rescue centre for a fractured accessory carpal bone in his right wrist. Despite the challenges, Ann welcomed Loki into her home, providing the love and care he desperately needed.

Thanks to Andy Whittingham, one of our Veterinary Surgeons, Loki's journey took a hopeful turn. Instead of opting for surgery, Andy decided on a conservative approach, keeping Loki's leg in a splint for weeks to monitor his progress closely.

After several X-rays and weeks of careful management, Loki's bone began to remodel and stabilise, but he was later diagnosed with left elbow dysplasia.

With Ann's nursing expertise and unwavering dedication, Loki received months of hydrotherapy and is now managed with laser therapy, ensuring he thrives despite his challenges.

Today, at 15 months old, Loki is a cherished member of Ann's family, showered with love and affection every day.

22/04/2024

This , we bring you a heartwarming story of Wiz and Amber, the adorable duo belonging to our Client Care Assistant, Liz Ball! 🐶💖

Before joining WMR, Liz dedicated seven years to rescuing animals at an RSPCA rehoming centre. In July 2014, she encountered a heartbreaking case involving seven Pomeranians seized as part of a cruelty and fraud investigation. These poor pups were unwell, battling parasites and bacterial infections like Campylobacter and Giardia, requiring weeks of intensive treatment.

With their legal case dragging on, Liz and four others stepped up as fosterers, welcoming two of the dogs into her home. Her journey as a fosterer spanned nearly three years before justice prevailed in April 2017. The 'owner' was prosecuted, banned from keeping animals for life, and received the longest jail sentence ever from an RSPCA prosecution.

For Liz, fostering turned into forever love as she officially adopted Wiz and Amber, now integral members of her family.

Fast forward almost seven years, and these pups will soon celebrate their 11th birthdays in July!

15/04/2024

This , Meet Mij and Kiki, the dynamic duo of our Administrator Penny's family!

Mij is a Romanian Rescue who had little success being rehomed immediately and had moved from one kennel to another.

Despite his misfit appearance, he's a unique character who stole Penny's heart from day one.

Despite his past traumas, Mij has blossomed into a loving and kind soul, relishing the simple pleasures of life, like pottering around the garden and enjoying peaceful walks (rain notwithstanding). His unconditional love knows no bounds, and we cherish every moment with him.

Then there's Kiki, a Jack Russell mix with boundless energy. Despite her rocky start with an eye infection and subsequent surgery, Kiki exudes happiness and zest for life. Whether she's playing with her toys or frolicking in the sunshine with the hosepipe, Kiki's enthusiasm is infectious. Though she may try to boss Mij around, he remains unfazed, and their unique bond is a testament to the power of love and companionship.

Mij and Kiki have found solace and love in Penny's home, enriching their lives. They may have different stories, but together, they make Penny's family whole.

Teddy has settled into his new home with Katie really well and has been the perfect addition to her family.

One-way system for our pets

⛕Did you know? We now have a one-way system in place to prevent dogs from coming face-to-face with one another. It's proven to be really successful and allows our areas to stay as peaceful and relaxing as possible while pets visit us. It especially helps dogs who are more nervous and don't enjoy being around other dogs. 📹 You can see one of our patients using our one-way system in this video! You'll also see the arrows on the walls so staff are aware of which way the one-way system goes. #WestMidlandsReferrals #CommittedToExcellence #ProudlyWMR #ProudlyLinnaeus

Tilly!

🎉 AMAZING NEWS! Veterinary Surgeons at West Midlands Referrals saved Tilly, a coughing cocker spaniel, by removing her entire left lung lobes due to a rare inflammatory pulmonary disease that caused a mass obstructing the entire left side of her chest. Despite the complexity of the surgery and the removal of an entire lung, Tilly made an amazing recovery and is now back to her old self. Her owner reports that she is even enjoying lead walks! Chris Lancelott, the Veterinary Surgeon at WMR who led the procedure, said that Tilly's recovery was excellent, and she has behaved brilliantly at home. He added that the surgery was not without risk, but seeing Tilly's amazing recovery was worth it. We are thrilled to hear that Tilly is doing so well after her surgery, and we wish her a speedy recovery! #WestMidlandsReferrals #CommittedToExcellence

We recently received this message from a very happy and grateful pet owner💕 “Three years ago today, you saved my paralysed Westie’s life. So, I thought I’d give you an update. He’s 12 years old now and still going strong, running, chasing squirrels, forever terrorising the postman and even jumping (even though he knows he’s not allowed, and it still gives me a heart attack!). He’s not showing any signs of slowing down yet. And right now, he’s tapping me to go for a walk!” #WestMidlandsReferrals #VeterinaryReferrals

Today marks the end of World Antibiotic Awareness Week. 🦠 The appropriate use of antibiotics is incredibly important to us, as antibacterial resistance is a growing concern in both human and animal medicine. There is pressure to preserve the medical use of antibiotics; therefore, we must ensure we use antimicrobials responsibly and only when appropriate.
