Who remembers little Poppy, who recently visited our Dewsbury Hospital for a CT scan? 🐶

Poppy’s scan revealed a tumour on her spleen, an abnormal liver, and a mass on her leg that needed removal. 💔

On the day of her procedure, Poppy had her spleen and the leg mass successfully removed, along with a liver biopsy for further investigation.

Now, we’re thrilled to see Poppy all cosy and recovering beautifully, receiving plenty of TLC from our amazing team. And we can’t help but be fascinated by these action shots of our team working their magic to make sure Poppy’s journey to recovery is a success. 💖

We’re so proud of Poppy’s progress and can’t wait to see her back to her happy self soon!

Meet Booboo, a wonderful patient who recently visited our Brighouse practice for a dental procedure. 🐾

Upon examination, Booboo had mild plaque buildup, some calculus on his teeth, and mildly inflamed gums. Additionally, we identified a potential fracture in his upper carnassial teeth. 🦷

Fortunately, Booboo only required a minor extraction, a professional cleaning, and X-rays for a more thorough evaluation. 🐶

Our Patient Care Assistant, Roisin, took a moment to give Booboo some extra care and snapped this beautiful picture. 📸

We're pleased to report that Booboo is recovering well, and we look forward to supporting his ongoing dental health.

🌻 🐶 While daffodils can be beautiful and bring a burst of colour to your garden, they can be toxic to dogs if ingested. The most dangerous parts of daffodils are the bulbs, which contain lycorine and other alkaloids that can cause gastrointestinal irritation.

The symptoms of daffodil poisoning in dogs include:

⚠️ Nausea, retching and excess salivation
⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Drooling or slobbering
⚠️ Diarrhoea
⚠️ Rapid breathing
⚠️ Faster than normal heart rate
⚠️ Seizures

As the daffodils start to make a welcomed appearance, if your pet has ingested any part of a daffodil, please get in contact with us immediately.

Meet our rehabilitation star of the month ⭐

12 and a half year old Honey! 🍯🐕

Honey was referred to our rehabilitation centre to conservatively manage a cruciate ligament injury and support her elbow osteoarthritis ❤️‍🩹.

Honey has made brilliant progress with her mobility and comfort, by visiting our veterinary physiotherapists weekly for both laser treatment and hydrotherapy.
Despite her age and conditions, she is a very happy and excitable girl! 💪🏻🤩

Her owners have also done an excellent job by managing her well at home. 💛 Honey enjoys sitting in her stroller whilst her owners can still enjoy adventures, which Honey’s legs unfortunately can no longer cope with. ⭐️

Keep up the good work Honey! ⭐️💛🍯
