Could your cat be a lifesaver? ๐Ÿฑโค๏ธ

Our feline blood donors are essential in saving lives by providing critical blood transfusions to patients in need.

If you believe your cat could be a suitable donor, we can arrange a blood typing and general health check with one of our caring nurses. We'll document this information and reach out when blood is required. Your cat's contribution, typically twice per year, could be a lifesaver.

On the day of donation, we conduct thorough blood tests to ensure your cat's health and readiness. After gentle sedation, we collect the blood and provide comprehensive fluid therapy, nourishing food, and a few hours of dedicated recovery time before your cat returns home, safe and sound.

Introducing Neurology Specialist Camilla Cooper. ๐Ÿ‘‹

Camilla graduated in 2008 and worked in mixed practice, then small animal practice in Manchester. She returned to the University of Liverpool in 2011 to undertake a Small Animal Rotating Internship, followed by a Residency in Veterinary Neurology.

Camilla became a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Neurology at the University of Liverpool, obtaining her European Diploma in Veterinary Neurology in 2018. She is also a European and RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Neurology.

Following a stint as Associate Professor in Veterinary Neurology at Colorado State University, Camilla returned to the UK in spring 2024 and joined the team here at Northwest Veterinary Specialists. Throughout her years at the University of Liverpool and Colorado State University, Camilla has helped to train many veterinary students and the odd Neurology diplomate!

She is currently part of the European College of Veterinary Neurology (ECVN) Examination Committee. Camilla's main interest is clinical neurology. However, she has also co-authored a number of papers and loves to help general practitioners foster their love of Neurology.

It's great to have you on board, Camilla!

Meet Shelby, the Wolfhound puppy, who had a life-threatening bacterial infection after a suspected rodent bite but is acting like a puppy again, thanks to the care he received from our team.

Shelby was very poorly when she arrived at our hospital and was not even able to stand or walk.

Shelbyโ€™s health was rapidly deteriorating, with imaging and clinical signs suggesting the presence of severe sepsis, a life-threatening reaction to an infection impacting multiple organs.

Our team quickly started Shelby on intensive critical care, administering a broad spectrum of antibiotics to combat the dangerous infection. It was also necessary to perform a high tail amputation to give her the best chance of pulling through.

Following intensive care treatment, surgery and a multidisciplinary approach to save her life, Shelby started showing an improvement in her demeanour, appetite and mobility. Day by day, the whole team was amazed by her slow and steady progress.

Shelby has had to learn to walk again but is now back to being a fun-loving, mischievous puppy who is enjoying life as she should. What an amazing result. ๐Ÿ’•

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰As we continue to celebrate our fantastic nursing team this Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, today we are extremely proud to introduce our Diagnostic Imaging Nurse, Emma Coogan, who recently achieved her VTS application in diagnostic imaging.

To pass this first stage of her VTS assessment, Emma had to complete 10,000 hours of work with a minimum of five years dedicated to diagnostic imaging (Emma has twelve years, so she aced that). To practice as an advanced technician, Emma had to demonstrate an extensive skills list, which required signing off by our specialists.

In addition, Emma had to complete a case book comprising 60 case logs, six detailed case reports, and five exam questions covering a range of imaging modalities, including MRI, CT, radiography, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound.

Emma has already been awarded the status of Veterinary Magnetic Resonance Imager (RVMRI) with the American Association of Veterinary Radiologists (AAVR). On completion of her final exams, she will join Sophie McMurrough, who holds a VTS in Medicine, Michelle Moran, who holds a VTS in Anesthesia, and Caroline Boothroyd, who holds a VTS in both Medicine and Oncology.

Join us in congratulating Emma on her fantastic achievement! ๐Ÿ’™

โ“ Did you know? Just like humans, animals respond to physiotherapy. The purpose of physiotherapy is to restore and maintain mobility, function and independence.

Physiotherapy serves to optimise recovery and performance, from post-surgical management to injury treatment without surgery, management of conditions in older patients, and preventative strengthening. It is an essential addition to the management of a wide range of conditions.

Our Veterinary Physiotherapists are highly trained, so you can be assured they all comply with the highest standards and demonstrate specialist knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, and physiology.

๐ŸฆWe've been birdwatching! Early on this year, our team took part in the annual Big Garden Birdwatch.

This initiative, in collaboration with the RSPB, allows us to contribute to the vital task of monitoring the population trends of garden birds. As part of our commitment to sustainability and the well-being of wildlife, our dedicated associates actively engage in this survey, helping to conserve and understand our avian populations.

By participating in the Big Garden Birdwatch, we showcase our dedication to environmental stewardship and our passion for protecting these magnificent creatures. This initiative provides valuable data and reinforces our commitment to caring for the ecosystem we share.

To help draw birds to our community, our team came up with the idea of crafting bird-feeding balls to put in our local area over lunch together.

We appreciate the dedication of our team members. The Big Garden Birdwatch demonstrates the impact of uniting and taking steps to support nature.

Today, we are introducing you to Pablo, a beloved dog who risked bleeding to death in a highly-complex operation to remove a tumour from a major blood vessel.

Nine-year-old crossbreed Pablo underwent an operation with a mortality rate of up to 40 per cent per cent - but it was his only chance of returning to his old life.

Our Surgery Specialist, Matt Smith, carried out the operation to remove the tumour, which extended 7.5cm along the major vein, returning blood to the heart. Despite its complexities and significant challenges, the surgery was a success, and Pablo has made a full recovery.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Owner Gemma Trevers said: "Pablo is now like a puppy again. His quality of life is amazing!"
