You might remember lovely Max, our tripod staff pet who fractured one of his remaining 3 legs and needed urgent surgery at The Veterinary Wellness Centre.

We are pleased to report he is doing brilliantly! Careful rehabilitation, including regular hydrotherapy, has helped him retain strength while protecting his fracture as it heals.

He is very happy to be enjoying walks in the stubble fields with his (human and canine) sisters again, and recently celebrated his 6th birthday in the practice 🥰

Well done Max!

Only a couple of days after our beautiful corgi puppy cuddles, the other half of our logo appeared to see us!

Missy joined our Pet Wellness Plan so she can enjoy a full set of kitten vaccinations, flea tick and worm treatment, microchip, and come to see us as many times as she wants to during the year 🥰

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you are all enjoying some tricks and treats, and keeping pets safely indoors away from guisers.

Here is our spookiest 👻 patient Brody, who you might remember had to have both his eyes removed here at the practice.

As you can see(!) he is still a super-happy boy, and especially suits this time of year! 🎃

Our next tip for helping your pets cope with fireworks:

Put on music with banging rhythms like drum beats - these help to hide the sounds of fireworks better than typically "soothing" classical music.

Drum and bass or djembe beats - whatever takes your fancy! 🥁🪘

Ziggy's owners noticed he was suddenly chewing at his foot last night, and this morning there was a swelling between his toes. They called us and brought him down.

A short sedation, exploration, and iodine flush later revealed a grass seed lodged in there! Ziggy will be much comfier now it is removed.

Lovely Riley had his first visit to The Veterinary Wellness Centre today.

On his appointment notes I could see "ANXIOUS AT VETS" written in large letters.....

Well, as you can see, things at The Veterinary Wellness Centre are a bit different! Riley was lovely and relaxed, and enjoyed a comfy kip on the floor 😴

Who remembers beautiful Orla who had a TPLO with us?

She has healed up beautifully! Here is what her mum has to say after her last hydrotherapy session:
"Ruth hadn’t seen Orla for a bit but was delighted how far she has come since op and last block of 6 sessions during recovery , how she is walking and her muscle mass back again , proof that the aftercare is very important and definitely aids recovery,
Just like to thank Ruth and yourselves for best care ever.
She doesn’t need to see her again
Orla is fast asleep now after her session"

Great job, Orla and family 🥰

Success story number 2 of the evening!

Louis' owner experienced every owners nightmare: they were happily watching their boy do his morning zoomies at the Lagoons, when he slipped on some frosty grass. Suddenly he couldn't get up and was in serious pain. Thanks to the kindness of a nearby golfer, they rushed him straight in to us and made it just as we were opening.

Quick assessment revealed Louis had injured his spine and was paraplegic. We discussed all the treatment options, and decided the best treatment for him was conservative management: strict rest, intense pain relief, and electroacupuncture at the practice.

Louis normally finds vet visits very stressful, so we set up his hospital bed in the Rainbow Room so he would be more relaxed in a less clinical setting, and his owners could stay with him. When they nipped home for some food, our ACA Kirstie stayed with him at all times offering comfort and love.

After a few hours he felt well enough to eat some food. By the end of the day he was able to stand and slowly walk with assistance.

His owners have been following our careful rehabilitation program, including regular acupuncture appointments, and he is progressing brilliantly. To the untrained eye, you wouldn't notice anything wrong with his mobility now at all. He even loves coming in to see us for his acupuncture appointments now!

Time to highlight the value of really excellent veterinary care with a couple of case studies 🥰

Meet Judy. A 17yo lady who, despite her age, is an active and adored member of her family. They noticed a large lump growing in her mammary gland, and that she was increasingly uncomfortable.

We discussed various options and elected for surgery to remove the mass. We use a special anaesthetic protocol for older patients, including making use of local anaesthetic blocks to reduce drug requirements, and her surgery was successful.

She woke up feeling comfortable on the day of surgery, and a week later she is happily fully recovered and back to her old self!

We are all delighted that she can enjoy her golden years in comfort, and that her owners were brave enough to entrust her to our care.

⭐️Experienced Veterinary Superstar Wanted in Edinburgh ⭐️

The Veterinary Wellness Centre is a 2-year-old independent practice that does things a little differently.

We embody contextualised care, taking the time to really get to know every client and patient as unique individuals. This results in effusively grateful clients, brilliant patient outcomes, and a genuine “big family” feeling in the practice.

We combine cutting-edge medicine and surgery with complementary and regenerative therapies, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, LASER therapy, and stem cell treatment. Our emphasis on fitness and quality of life is supported by an on-site rehab suite with an underwater treadmill, Strideway pressure-plate gait analysis, and RAMP veterinary physiotherapists.

Our team is our greatest asset, and we invest heavily in personal and professional growth. If you have a special interest (imaging, dentistry, surgery, or anaesthesia) this is the place to develop, supported by modern equipment, progressive leadership, and a culture of evidence-based excellence. Sustainability is central to our practice, from our low-flow anaesthetic systems to our comprehensive recycling initiatives.
