A severely undersized dog with an extremely rare dwarfism condition has recovered well following treatment from our vets.

Specialists from the Hospital for Small Animals used progesterone injections to stimulate growth hormone production in Pixie the Chihuahua, who weighed less than 500g at six months old.

Within nine months, the young dog had tripled in weight, could regulate her blood sugar and had normal energy levels.

💊Have you heard about antibiotic amnesties? 💊

Our hospital is taking part in the 2024 Antibiotic Amnesty to support the safeguarding of antibiotics.

Antibiotic resistance is a constant and growing threat to both animal and human health, and we are doing what we can to slow it down. Without antibiotics, our ability to safely perform surgery and provide essential treatment for patients with infections will be very limited.

Antibiotic resistance happens for many reasons including:
💊Giving the wrong antibiotic
💊Giving antibiotics for too long, or not long enough
💊Giving antibiotics intended for another animal or species
💊Giving the wrong dose
💊Giving antibiotics when they aren’t needed

As vets and owners, we can help by regularly assessing whether animals need antibiotics – it is now a legal requirement to assess animals in-person before prescribing antibiotics for a new or recurring condition.

We can also help with amnesties. If you have any unused or out-of-date antibiotics at home, we can dispose of them safely free of charge and reduce the risk of them polluting our waterways and environment. You can bring the medicines to our reception or post them to us.

Let’s keep antibiotics working!

08/11/2024

Today, on World Radiography Day, we are shining a light on the Diagnostic Radiography Team at our Hospital for Small Animals.

The team of five qualified radiographers take thousands of X-ray images each year, providing high-quality images of the tissues, organs and bones of patients to help our clinicians diagnose disease and detect injury of the animals in their care.

They all worked for the NHS before transitioning to the veterinary world when they joined the Dick Vet and say that the variety of cases and animals they work with is one of the best parts of their job. They also teach undergraduate students who go on to become the vets of tomorrow.

Rona, who joined the Hospital more than 30 years ago, said: “I love that no two days are the same. As well as cats and dogs, we also X-ray rabbits, guinea pigs birds and other small exotic animals. Being able to see the unseen in so many different species is fascinating.”

The Diagnostic Radiography Team, one of the largest of its kind in Scotland, is part of the Hospital’s wider Diagnostic Imaging Service that conducts ultrasounds, MRIs and CT scans at our Hospital. The Hospital also has therapeutic radiographers in the Oncology Service who deliver radiotherapy for the patients undergoing cancer treatment.

We thank them, and radiographers everywhere, for everything that they do.
