🐾 Pedro’s Journey to Better Breathing 🐾
Meet Pedro, a cheeky little character whose life was transformed thanks to BOAS surgery at the Small Animal Hospital. His owner kindly shared with us how the incredible team made the experience reassuring and life-changing. 💙
"Pedro’s experience at the Small Animal Hospital has been nothing but positive- from our very first consultation right through to the aftercare we received. As his owner, I was naturally nervous and anxious about the procedure, but the wonderful staff were incredibly reassuring. They took the time to provide clear, detailed information, which really helped put my mind at ease.
Pedro was able to come home the same day as his operation and, to my relief, was back to his cheeky, happy self within just a few days. The BOAS surgery has truly been life-changing for him: he has even more energy to run and play, he can now eat and swallow his food comfortably without choking, and his breathing has improved significantly- especially in hot weather.
I’m so grateful to everyone at the hospital for their care and support, and a special thank you to his surgeon, Joanna, for looking after my boy so wonderfully."
