To recognise World Cancer Day, we are pleased to share an uplifting story.

Last summer, Vinnie was referred to our Oncology service with lymphoma. He presented with enlarged lymph nodes and fluid accumulation in his chest, prompting us to initiate chemotherapy immediately.

Throughout his treatment, Vinnie received expert care from our Specialist team in our state-of-the-art oncology suite, designed to provide cutting-edge cancer treatments in a calm and supportive environment.

After extensive sessions, we are pleased to share that Vinnie has completed his final chemotherapy session! 🎉 His resilience and sweet nature have truly touched our hearts, and we look forward to welcoming him back for his follow-up appointments.

Let us solve the itch! 🔎

Why might pets need to be referred to our Dermatology service? 🤔

Pets, much like humans, can suffer from a range of skin and hair issues.

Persistent itching, hair loss, and skin infections could be signs of that your pet could be suffering from a multitude of issues, such as allergies.

Our Dermatology service aims to improve our pet's quality of life, reduce irritations and get to the root cause of their issue.

MRI. ✅
Superficial Radiation Machine. ✅

In 2024, we invested in a new MRI machine and also introduced Superficial Radiation Treatment which has allowed us to add to our treatment options for patients who may require imaging to help diagnose their problems.

Superficial radiation therapy is a type of external radiotherapy that uses X-rays or electrons to treat skin cancers and other conditions, which limits the amount of radiation that limits the amount of radiation that reaches healthy tissue and other organs.

The team here will always have an open and honest conversation with pet owners about the options available to their beloved family members and, if needed, our new MRI will provide a hugely effective tool in our bespoke care plans.

Diabetic Clinic 3

📢 Introducing our new diabetic clinic 📹 In the final installment of our 'Tier' Series, Francesca Venier, Internal Medicine Specialist, explains tier three patients. Tier three patients are unique in that they typically aren’t seen in our practice in person but are managed through telephone consultations. 📞 Here’s how it works: ✅ We schedule a phone call with the referring veterinarian. ✅ During this call, we review the pet’s history, discuss necessary investigations, and explore strategies for improving diabetes control. ✅ The referring vet then communicates these insights to the pet owner and outlines the next steps. For more information on our Diabetes Clinic, visit here >> https://bit.ly/3zUw3vO #NWVS #CommittedToExcellence #ProudlyNWVS #ProudlyLinnaeus

Diabetic Clinic 2

📢 Introducing our new diabetic clinic In this brief video, Francesca Venier, one of our Internal Medicine Specialists, explains the focus of our tier two diabetic patients: pets referred exclusively for diabetes management. This includes tailored advice on diet, insulin type and dosage, exercise routines, and more. What does the consultation process look like? 🤔 During the initial consultation and follow-ups, we may perform blood work based on the pet’s history and physical examination. If we suspect a concurrent condition, we’ll refer the pet back to their primary care veterinarian with detailed recommendations for further investigation. This approach is a cost-effective solution for owners who need specialised support in managing their pet’s diabetes, while other conditions remain under the care of their primary vet. What about the charges? 🤔 ✅ Initial consultation with both a clinician and a nurse ✅ Follow-up nurse consultations every 1-3 months, depending on diabetes control ✅ Follow-up clinician consultations every 6 months For more information, visit us here > >>> https://bit.ly/3zUw3vO #NWVS #CommittedToExcellence #ProudlyNWVS #ProudlyLinnaeus

Our services may include: ✅ Diagnostic Imaging ✅ Surgery ✅ Biopsy Collection to address other conditions that may impact diabetic management Consultation Process: The consultation begins with an in-depth discussion between the owner and our specialists to explore differential diagnoses, diagnostic workups, and potential treatment options. Following this, owners will meet with one of our experienced nurses to cover essential topics such as insulin administration, diet, and the overall management of a diabetic pet. We also provide a detailed handout, ensuring that owners have all the key information at their fingertips once they return home.
