Did you know we’re a The Zero Pain Philosophy practice?!

This means we’ve made a on-going commitment to our patients to ensure their procedures are as pain free as possible!

This is achieved by a multimodal analgesia approach including local regional anaesthesia and nerve blocks. One of our patients below is having an US guided local block prior to her surgery.

Is everyone ready for Halloween?

Nala made sure to schedule her dermatology follow-up just in time. She has been dealing with atopic dermatitis triggered by dust mites and storage mites. Today, we began her immunotherapy (the "allergy vaccine") to help her stubborn immune system tolerate these harmless allergens.

This cutie is a two-year-old Cockerpoo who has been suffering with a painful left eye for the last three months.

Careful examination with slit lamp biomicroscopy revealed an ectopic cilia under the upper left eyelid. This is a tiny extra eyelash which emerges through the inner surface of the eyelid. As this hair is directed straight towards the eye surface, it causes repeated trauma and pain as it rubs up and down on the cornea during blinking, often leading to corneal ulceration.

These hairs can be very difficult to spot without access to more advanced diagnostic equipment, particularly in a dog with a pale coat such as this one!

Fortunately treatment is straightforward provided good magnification is available: this cilia was removed surgically through a small incision, resulting in rapid resolution of the ocular pain.

Remember - Lucy, our ophthalmologist is on hand to help with any troublesome eye cases you may have!

PART TWO of WALTER’S STORY…

Walter went on to have a bone marrow biopsy the following day and after this procedure he was started on immunosuppressant therapy for presumed Immune mediated disease.

The bone marrow samples confirmed that the red cells looked to stop at a certain point in the maturation process. This was consistent with immune mediated destruction at that point and is known as Precursor direction immune- mediated anaemia (PIMA).

A second immunosuppressant drug was added into his protocol.

Bone marrow diseases take a long time to respond to treatment (4-8 weeks) so Walter has to endure high doses of medications to suppress his immune system until this happens. Unfortunately, the transfused red blood cells do not last as long as normal ones too- they age quicker and die away meaning repeat blood transfusions will be needed every few weeks to manage his severe anaemia until his bone marrow starts to work and produce new cells.

Each time we repeat the blood transfusion we have to undertake a process called cross matching (see photo below). Cross matching allows us to check for a reaction before we give the transfusion so that we can reduce this risk back to a much lower level.

Please keep our fingers crossed for Walter over the next month or so as we continue to battle this horrible disease.

CALL TO ACTION: Are you aware that your dog could be a blood donor?

Stocks are currently running low at the Pet Blood Bank UK and more donors are always needed. If you have a healthy dog aged 1-8 years and >25kgs your dog could be a blood bank superhero and literally be a life saver, helping us the treat dogs like Walter.

If you think you can help please visit the petbloodbankuk.org or contact us at Eden and we can help get you registered.

PART ONE WALTER’S STORY…

This week’s star patient is the wonderful but slightly weak and wobbly Walter!

Walter came to our our medicine team about 2 weeks ago as an emergency referral. He presented to his vets weak, wobbly and very pale. Bloods showed he was severely anaemic with only about a quarter the number of circulating red blood cells he should have.

We checked his clotting function (PT and APTT) and this was normal so rat poison was not the problem! Walter was not losing red blood cells either via a bleed (haemorrhage) nor destruction of the red cells (haemolysis).

If there is no loss of red blood cells then the alternative cause for anaemia is a problem with the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow.

As the first step, Walter was given a blood transfusion to stabilise his condition. After confirming his blood type we ordered packed red blood cells from Pet Blood Bank.

The two most likely diagnoses for primary bone marrow disease were immune mediated destruction of the red cell precursor cells or cancer (leukaemia or similar). Other diseases were possible and reactions to drugs or toxins can also affect the bone marrow, however there was nothing in Walter’s history to suggest any exposure to these. Occasionally infections can affect the bone marrow but most of these are exotic to the UK and Walter had no history of travel.

Why choose us to refer to us?

As well as all the below the main reason is because of our client feedback!

The care we provide is ‘all about the animals’ - - a phrase said by so many. We pride ourselves on compassionate patient-led care amongst a collaborative team approach.

This is validated by clients often asking us if they can be referred back to us should anything complex arise in their pets! 💜

Last weekend we officially opened many new areas of the practice! One clinical area in particular is our new dermatology room!

This is where Viorela and James spend their days investigating and carrying out treatments for our skin patients.

The room was set out for the open day with many informative posters, interactive videos and microscope slides all to help teach everyone about the importance of early investigation of skin disease. 🐾
