This is Toffee having lots of cuddles from our Student Veterinary Nurse, Vickie. Toffee had eaten rat poison which is harmful to dogs if left untreated. When ingested, rat poison will prevent the blood from clotting which can lead to life-threatening anaemia as it destroys the red blood cells. With intervention from our medicine team, Toffee is back on the farm doing what she loves the most!
Well done Toffee, you are a star.

Good afternoon everyone,

We still have spaces left for this on 20th February.

The goal of these sessions is to have an open discussion between referring and referral clinicians, this way gaining a better understanding on how to make workups and management of challenging cases more effective. It involves orthopaedic, neurology, soft tissue and internal medicine cases.
3-5 persons per group per referral clinician should make an optimal number to make these sessions more interactive.
The whole session should take between 1-2 hours approx. this way gaining valuable external focus CPD.
Don't worry if you're running late after busy day in your practice and you can join the discussion when you arrive.
Snacks and drinks will be provided.

Don't miss this opportunity to share some common challenges in our daily veterinary profession.

Taking place at 6:30pm on Tuesday the 20th of February 2024, this session is completely free to register for, so all you need to do is either send us an email or give us a call to book your place.
(Places are limited per session to make more useful and interactive)

Christopher Skinner (Neurology Resident) will be joining AVR from Glasgow University Vet School on Thursday 1st February and Friday 2nd February 2024.

This is Milo, doesn’t he look snuggly! Milo was in with us recently for cruciate surgery and stayed with us overnight after his operation. Our night nurse made sure Milo was tucked up comfortably at bedtime.

Did you know as well as our amazing day team, we also have an amazing dedicated night team, meaning we have staff working on site 24 hours a day.

Our patients often require an overnight stay to provide them with the rest and medication they need following treatment or surgery.

Being able to keep our patients with us without transporting them to an external out of hours practice we feel is important for their recovery. This ensures continuity of care and allows your furbaby to rest and recover comfortably in one place, without a stressful move to another practice.

Cuddles from our night team come as standard at bedtime with an overnight stay, if your furbaby wants one of course!

Myg is a lovely boy who has recently been signed off from our care after a serious spinal fracture earlier this year. Myg had a L7 fracture of the lower spine that was stabilised using screws and bone cement. We used 3D printing to create a bone model and screw guide to allow accurate placement of screws in a challenging surgery.
Myg is back to enjoying walks with his humans and we wish them all the best. 🐾🎉❤️
