25/06/2024

Neurology Specialists from our Hospital for Small Animals have used a made-to-measure 3D printed guide to help stabilise a dog’s spine during surgery.

When Geralt the pug was referred to the Hospital by his vet, he was unsteady on his legs and had developed urinary and faecal incontinence. The Specialist Dick Vet team found that Geralt had an abnormal accumulation of spinal fluid that was pressing on his spinal cord. Some of the connecting joints within his spine were also missing.

Surgeons successfully drained the excess spinal fluid and used corridors set within the 3D printed guide to drill and insert screws into the young dog’s vertebrae to stablise it.

Geralt recovered quickly from surgery; his incontinence resolved and he soon regained full strength in his hind legs. His owners report that he is now happy and enjoys life to the fullest.

11/06/2024

Bailey, an 11-year-old Labrador Retriever is back to full health after being successfully treated with radiation therapy twice, following referral to our Hospital for Small Animals’ Riddell-Swann Veterinary Cancer Centre.

Bailey was originally referred to our Hospital last year, after being diagnosed with a rare cancer in his thymus gland. Radiotherapy successfully reduced the size of the tumour by more than 50 per cent and, nine months after the final radiotherapy session, the tumour continues to get smaller.

Bailey then returned earlier this year and benefited from further radiation therapy to treat arthritis in his elbow joints.

Veterinary Specialists in radiation oncology used the Hospital’s VitalBeam linear accelerator; a machine that is commonly used to deliver radiation treatments to cancer patients.

Rachel Moran, Bailey’s owner said: “We can’t thank the Dick Vet Oncology team enough for their expertise and the loving, attentive, supportive care they have given, and continue to give to Bailey. Without them Bailey would not be here today.”

Megan Kiln, one of our Exotic Medicine residents, won ‘Best Resident Presentation’ and ‘Best Student Presentation’ at the International Conference on Avian, Herpetological, Exotic Mammal, Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (iCARE) in Belgium. She presented her research exploring how spleen problems can best be diagnosed in rabbits.

David Kayes, one of our Ophthalmology residents, won ‘Best Resident Presentation’ at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the European College for Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ECVO) in Holland. David presented his genetic research into the mechanisms of disease progression of iris melanomas in cats.

Simone Cutler, one of our Emergency and Critical Care residents, won ‘Best Original Study’ at the European Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Congress (EVECC) in Sweden, when she presented her research that investigates markers in blood samples that link to the severity of breathing difficulties in French bulldogs.

Completing a research project is a vital part of every resident's journey to becoming a European Diplomate in their chosen area of clinical work. We are delighted that their efforts have been recognised on the international stage.

On the final day of Vet Nurse Awareness Month, we are sharing the story of Susan, a Nutrition Nurse at our hospital.

Susan has worked in various roles before her current one, and enjoys the many learning and teaching opportunities that come with working in a large teaching hospital.

“My RVN journey began in 2000 when I joined the Dick Vet as a trainee veterinary nurse, rotating through every Specialist service and studying at college on block release. Since qualifying I have gained additional qualifications including a Diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing, a Certificate in Emergency and Critical Care, a Certificate in Small Animal Nutrition and a higher education teaching qualification. I also trained as a phlebotomist and help at the regular Pet Blood Bank donation sessions hosted by the Hospital.

I’ve held various roles in my career and worked as a Surgical, ICU and Internal Medicine Nurse as well as in the pharmacy. Currently, as a Nutrition Nurse, I provide bespoke feeding plans to our in-patients and support clients and monitor patients following their discharge from the Hospital. I run a ’Fit for Life’ consultation clinic, offering guidance and support to owners on their pets’ nutrition and support clinical research projects.

As well as the nursing side of my role, I really enjoy sharing my nutritional knowledge with student vets and vet nurses. I love it when students return after qualifying and join the staff team at Dick Vet; it completes the cycle of why I choose to work in a teaching hospital.

Why do I love my job? Every day is different. I cherish the relationships I have with clients and their pets, and the constant opportunities for professional growth and development.

Working at the Dick Vet, I have the honour of working with, and learning from, some of the world’s leading veterinary professionals, and the life-long learning never stops.”

As part of Vet Nurse Awareness Month this month, we are sharing the stories of some of the Dick Vet RVN team.

Abbie, who joined the Hospital in 2017 and works in the Internal Medicine Service, loves that every day is different and exciting.

“When I was studying to become a veterinary nurse, I had several placements at the Hospital for Small Animals and gained valuable experience working in all the referral services. I loved the variety of the cases that I saw, so when I saw a vacancy for a RVN advertised at the Hospital shortly after I graduated, I leapt at the opportunity to join the nursing team permanently.

I have a wide range of responsibilities, including placing IV catheters, taking blood samples, monitoring blood pressure, running lab samples, sedating and monitoring patients during diagnostic imaging procedures under the supervision of a vet, and setting up and assisting clinicians with a wide range of medical procedures.

I love the diversity of medical cases we handle. I learn something new every day, so my knowledge and skills are constantly expanding. The hospital is very supportive of nurses that wish to undertake further training. Whilst in my current role, I’ve completed my Fear Free Certification and am currently pursuing a certificate in Advanced Veterinary Nursing (Medical), which will enhance my skills and patient care.

It’s incredibly rewarding to build connections with the patients, care for them, build their trust and support them through their treatment.

I love working at the Hospital; everyone is so knowledgeable, supportive and kind, and completely dedicated to providing the best standard of care to their patients and clients.

Being a veterinary nurse can be difficult at times, it is filled with highs and sometimes heart-breaking lows but if you are passionate and love animals, it is such a rewarding career with multiple areas for career progression."

As part of Vet Nurse Awareness Month this month, we are sharing the stories of some of the Dick Vet RVN team.

Caitlynn works part-time as a Rotational General Nurse at our hospital, which she says gives her the perfect work-life balance.

“I have always had a love of animals, and after speaking to veterinary nurses at career events I realised that veterinary nursing would be the perfect job for me. I graduated as an RVN in 2014, with a degree from Edinburgh Napier University. I then spent eight years developing my nursing skills in a charity practice, before joining the Hospital for Small Animals in 2021 as a Rotational General Nurse.

I love the variety of my role, as it allows me to work with different referring services throughout the hospital, so I’m always learning something new. Working a four-days-on/eight-days-off rota provides me with a perfect work-life balance too, as it allows me to pursue my passion for pet photography and social media work. I also have four amazing dogs and love spending time with them!

I have found working in a large teaching hospital incredibly rewarding due to the diverse caseload and species we encounter. I love being part of a large team and working with Specialists in different clinical areas. I’ve also received further training and clinical coaching so now I help train RVN students too.”

As part of Vet Nurse Awareness Month this month, we are sharing the stories of some of the Dick Vet RVN team.

Shirley, a Senior Surgical Nurse at our hospital, says that she had always been drawn to animals and medicine, making veterinary nursing her perfect career path.

“I’ve been a veterinary nurse for 32 years and have worked in many different nursing roles, including as a nutrition nurse, a head nurse in a general veterinary practice, a nursing lecturer and an orthopaedic nurse. I also worked as a veterinary nurse in Australia for a while too!

I joined the Hospital in 2000 and have worked in my current role for 12 years. I manage a large team of veterinary nurses and collaborate with the surgical and anaesthesia teams to ensure smooth running of the Surgical department. I am involved in teaching and examining vet students as they learn theatre practice.

I love my job because of the variety it offers; clinical work, management and teaching, and the constant learning opportunities available that keep me motivated and inspired.

I have gained further qualifications during my careers and have an Advanced Diploma in Veterinary Nursing (Surgery) and a Fellowship in teaching. Last year, I completed the Veterinary Management Group Certificate in Leadership and Management, and I'm currently working towards the Diploma.

If you have compassion for both animals and humans, strong organisational skills, and the ability to plan ahead, then veterinary nursing might be for you! It’s really fulfilling with lots of career options and opportunities to learn.

24/05/2024

A young dog with degenerative joint disease is now living pain–free and with increased mobility and energy, following double surgery to replace both his hips.

Theo the Samoyed was just a year old when he was referred to our hospital with severe hip osteoarthritis associated with hip dysplasia.

Specialists from our Orthopaedic Surgery Service performed total hip replacement on Theo’s right hip joint and, a year later, repeated the procedure on his left hip.

Theo’s owners report that following his surgeries, Theo’s mobility and energy levels have markedly improved and he no longer requires pain medication or non-steroidial anti-inflammatory drugs.

Read Theo’s full story here:

As part of Vet Nurse Awareness Month this month, we are sharing the stories of some of the Dick Vet RVN team.

Meet David, who found his perfect job that combines his passion for animals and a love for problem-solving in his role as an Anaesthesia Nurse at our hospital.

“My journey to become a veterinary nurse wasn’t straightforward. Ever since I was young, I dreamt of working with animals, but I wasn’t sure exactly what career to pursue. I studied geology and then computing at university and worked in software development for over ten years before I took a career break to help raise my young family.

When I returned to work, I decided I wanted to pursue my dream and find a job working with animals. Whilst on work experience at my local vet practice I was inspired by the skilled veterinary nurses there and became a Veterinary Care Assistant (VCA). My love for anaesthesia, sparked by vet Conor O’Halloran (who now works at the Dick Vet too!), led me to pursue formal veterinary nurse training at The College of Animal Welfare in Edinburgh.

I joined the Hospital for Small Animals as an Anaesthesia Nurse in 2022, and handle everything from preparing patients for anaesthesia to monitoring their recovery. The role is quite varied; one day I might be part of a spinal surgery, the next, I'm sitting by an MRI machine.

I also absolutely adore my team. They are all dedicated to the wellbeing of animals and it is amazing to work with and learn from them.

The best part though? Being involved in cases from start to finish and helping veterinary students gain hands-on experience with anaesthesia. The Hospital is not just a workplace; it's a community that values family, progressive practices and continuous learning.

What I love most is the supportive environment and the thrill of solving the "puzzle" of anaesthesia. Seeing a patient wake up safely after a procedure is incredibly rewarding.

If you're thinking about a career in veterinary nursing, my advice is to go for it. It's hard work but so worth it!”
