"Hiding in the Christmas tree we have Nemo! We got him as a rescue when he was 9 months old, and he is always up to mischief! He had us in for an emergency appointment on Christmas Eve last year with a sore eye, so it seems pretty apt for him to be submitted!"

Davies - Meet Our Patient - Juno

#MeetOurPatient Say hello to Juno the Sproodle! 🐶 Following a car accident, Juno was referred to us with our Neurology clinician Jack Galer leading the case. A CT scan showed Juno had suffered from a vertebral fracture and luxation (dislocation. This was a challenging case because Juno urgently needed surgery to repair the spinal fracture, which always comes with risks. The operation went extremely well and, as you can see from this video, Juno was back on her paws in no time! Juno has since resumed her normal activities and completed her recovery with post-operative physiotherapy and hydrotherapy. Way to go, Juno! 🌟 #DaviesVetSpecialists #ProudlyDavies #ProudlyLinnaeus

#MeetOurPatient Hugo, the Golden Retriever, is back to his happy, cheeky self after our team saved his life with an emergency operation. Hugo, a rescue dog, was severely ill with a ruptured gall bladder and severe biliary peritonitis, leaving him with a 50/50 chance of survival. His owners, Emma and Michael, were heartbroken as Hugo faced a life-threatening condition. Our Internal Medicine team, led by Anna Threlfall, quickly diagnosed the problem. A multidisciplinary approach involving medicine, diagnostic imaging, anaesthesia, soft tissue surgery, rotating interns and nursing teams was essential for his survival. Lead surgeon Carolyn Burton performed the challenging surgery, removing dead tissue and reconstructing the bile duct to allow continued bile flow. Remarkably, Hugo began eating voluntarily the next day and has made a full recovery. Now, Hugo enjoys two walks a day, his sofa, and a spare bed. His tail rarely stops wagging, and his recovery is nothing short of remarkable. #DaviesVetSpecialists #ProudlyDavies #ProudlyLinnaeus
