Meet Frida
Frida decided to try out a tasty snack she found on the ground while out on her walk .
Unfortunately her sneaky snack had a lot of similarities to slug pellets 😔. These can be fatal to dogs even in small quantities .
Luckily her owners got her straight into us and after discussing options vet Suzanne and nurse Marianne ably assisted by PCA Tammy agreed to flush her stomach out to try and remove any toxins.
Frida spent the night in our 24/7 hospital under MiNight Vet Lisburn s capable care and thankfully was ready to home this morning with no further issues expected 🥰🥰
If you are ever worried about something your dog has eaten do what Fridays owners did and get a picture, ideally a sample of the item and give us a call.
Felix the 2 year old Hermann’s tortoise presented to MiNight Vet Lisburn last weekend after being mistaken for a toy by the neighbour’s dog! He has a punctured shell which will take a long time to heal but is doing well. He will require check ups with the Cromlyn House team until his shell has mended. He surprised the team with how fast he can move when he gets going!

Well that didn’t take too long!
These three cuties have quickly found a loving forever home 🥰🥰
Thanks for all the interest and apologies if we couldn’t get back to you individually.

Handsome Scooby visited us this week to se vet Kathryn- he had a fab time meeting some of our new reception team members as well as his old favourites .
We loved seeing his pictures of his recent holiday. He got a brand new toy and as you can see travelled in nothing less than the lap of luxury 😎😎
It was lovely to see you Scooby!

Lovely Ramona had a big dental today which was a big deal for this elderly lady. We are delighted that thanks to a careful anaesthetic and good pain relief she was very keen to eat again less than two hours after recovering.
Vet Amy used our dental suite with x-rays (just like you get of your own teeth !) to identify the problem teeth and sort them out. Our 24/7 team will be on hand to care for her overnight now with some more tasty food on the menu!

Meet Indie.
Gorgeous Indie came to see us after suffering acute paralysis of her hind limbs 😔.
Vet Kathryn identified that she had a bulging intervertebral disc putting pressure on her spinal cord and took her to theatre to relieve the pressure. This is a common condition in dachshunds.
After a successful surgery this lovely girl spent a lot of time with our nursing team being supported as she learnt to walk again. She progressed from standing with two people holding her up to taking one tiny step forward at a time.
After some weeks of intense physiotherapy both at home and with her very dedicated owner we were delighted that she made a great recovery! She certainly brightened up our days with her cheerful attitude.
We loved looking after her and would like to share some behind the scenes videos of her progress with you. Keep an eye out for her waggy tail coming back halfway through the video when she regained control of this vital bit of anatomy 😉😁😍.

Who do you think won the buster collar challenge?
The veterinary nurses or the vets 🤔
Are you jumping into the week ahead with enthusiasm like our head nurse Beverly?
She just loves it when she hears the bandaging cases come in - and can whip up a donut pretty darn quick !

Here’s head nurse Beverly showing off her donut skills with Brodie 🍩 If only it was this quick to make in reality.
Beverly loves making her donuts almost as much as she loves eating them! 😋

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to spend a day behind the scenes in the vets?
Here’s a day in the life of Walter getting neutered with us.

🥁 Are you ready for the big reveal?!🥁🥁🍿🍿
The lovely Gracie had in fact helped herself to two socks and half a face mask!
So well done to those who said sock!
With the use of our endoscope as you can see we managed to avoid having to perform any surgeries 👍👍
Gracie was a star patient but is under strict instructions- no more scavenging!

🎥 Are you ready for the next instalment of our endoscopy series?? 🎥
Those who said we were in the stomach were right! This next video shows us bringing the object out of the stomach into the oesophagus.
We’ve had sock, hairball, tumour as guesses so far - what do you think?
Final answers tomorrow!
#cromlynvets
Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a vet? Or even just good at video games ?
We’re going to share some videos of a procedure called endoscopy this week. This involves the use of a camera on the end of long flexible tubing.
Your task is to guess what we are looking at! And do you know which part of the body we might be looking at?
A hint- it was swallowed!
We will share more videos and details tomorrow so keep an eye on the page!

Hobie ticked the box on room service for extra head rubs when he was in our purpose built cat ward recently 😍🥰
#cromlynvets
🥰Cici came to see our fabulous nursing team for a ‘biscuit visit’ yesterday to help her associate the vet practice with positive outings rather than scary outings.
SVN Caroline and PCA Helen gently got Cici accustomed to some new things like standing on the vets table and being examined, meeting different team members and walking round the practice to get to know the layout.
As you can see she was so much more confident the biscuit tin was under attack by the end of the session 😂
