Meet "Cloud", a very handsome 5-month-old Yorkshire Terrier who was referred to us on the 15th December with a right fore radius/ulna fracture!

Yesterday, Cloud was back for a routine support dressing change - and to get him into the festive spirit, we gave him a little Christmas addition to his bandage🎄✨
Cloud was a super brave little pup, and here he is looking very festive.

Please wish cloud a speedy recovery and a peaceful Christmas to him and his family!

Meet the gorgeous Odin

This cheeky little pup was referred to us at Pride Veterinary Referrals after a daring escape attempt from his play pen went a bit wrong… he managed to get himself wedged between the bars and although his quick-thinking owner freed him, poor Odin was suddenly unable to use his back legs.

After being seen by our Neurology Resident, Karol, Odin underwent advanced imaging (MRI) and an EMG test to assess any nerve damage. He was diagnosed with a traumatic ischaemic neuromyopathy. In simple terms, an injury that affects the nerves and muscles.

Over the past few days, Odin has been looked after by our Neurology and Wards teams and has now begun hydrotherapy in our Rehabilitation suite to support his recovery.

Odin is improving daily and will be getting to go home today! Please join us in wishing him well on his road to recovery!

We couldn’t resist sharing these adorable photos of him in the aquatic treadmill… and of course enjoying some well-deserved warm towel cuddles afterwards!

Upskilling Focus at Pride Veterinary Referrals

Last week, our team delivered a dedicated Veterinary Care Assistant training day designed to build on our VCAs’ knowledge and help them continue providing the highest level of care to our patients!

The day featured a mix of hands-on practical sessions, theory refreshers and skill building workshops. Our "VCA's" worked incredibly hard throughout the day and brought fantastic enthusiasm to every part of the programme.
We’re so proud of their commitment to learning and developing in their roles and we can’t wait to see these new skills put into practice!

Keeping Our Skills Life-Saving Sharp!

This weekend, our Nursing Manager Tara Colella and Wards Lead Jenni Gretton headed to the beautiful Cotswolds to complete their RECOVER CPR Rescuer Certification training!

At Pride Veterinary Hospital, our vets and nurses complete a set number of Continued Professional Development (CPD) hours each year to stay up to date with the latest medical techniques helping us provide the very best care for every patient who comes through our doors.

Over the next few weeks, our wider team are also taking part in in-house CPR refresher training, something we repeat at least once a year. This ensures that if a patient experiences cardiac arrest, we can act swiftly and effectively when every second truly counts!
You may notice that when your pet is admitted, we ask about their resuscitation status. This isn’t because we expect the worst, it’s simply so we’re fully prepared in advance, ensuring your beloved pet gets the fastest, most appropriate care possible.
