Pet Blood Bank UK (PBB) are holding their next blood donation session at Davies Veterinary Specialists, on June 29th 2024 🩸

Ollie has recently benefited from the work of PBB and generous canine blood donors 🐶

Ollie was diagnosed with Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMTP), meaning he had a severely low blood platelet count.

Platelets aid with blood coagulation and are necessary for preventing blood loss. Symptoms of a low platelet count can include abnormal bleeding, blood in the urine and stool, and excessive bruising.

A blood platelet transfusion helped to manage Ollie's condition while the underlying cause was treated. Thanks to the transfusion and additional treatment, Ollie is now recovering well 👏

For more information on canine donation, or to register your dog, visit www.petbloodbankuk.org or call 01509 232 222.

With the weather now warming up, here are some helpful tips from our vets on how to help your pet beat the heat ☀

☀ Make sure they always have fresh water available

☀ Exercise your pet early morning or late evening

☀ Provide plenty of access to shade

☀ Dogs may enjoy splashing in a paddling pool

🐶

Juno was referred to us with a spinal fracture after being badly injured in a car accident.

Our Neurology Clinician Jack Galer took charge of the case, and the CT scan Jack carried out showed that Juno had suffered a vertebral fracture and a dislocation.

Jack carried out delicate and intricate surgery to reduce the fracture and subluxation of the damaged vertebra and then stabilised it with screws and bone cement.

The journey was a complete success and Juno has been able to return to normal activity after she had completed post-operative physiotherapy and hydrotherapy!

Today, we want to celebrate the courage of beautiful Belle!

Belle, the four-year-old Springer Spaniel, was suffering from a chest infection known as pyothorax. Because the chest infection was so severe, she urgently needed surgery.

A CT scan revealed a large accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity, with samples showing that the fluid was septic and infected with bacteria.

Our Soft Tissue Surgeon, Krizia Compagnone, operated immediately the same night Belle was admitted. She was in the theatre for five hours and remained in our intensive care unit for a week after surgery.

She has now completely recovered and is back to her normal self!

Paul expresses his heartfelt appreciation, describing Krizia and the Davies team as "amazing" and "caring." Their daily updates on Belle's progress and professional demeanour provided Paul with reassurance during a challenging time.

Meet Oakley, the brave chocolate Cockerpoo, who faced a tough journey after a freak accident left him with a broken leg.

Thanks to the expert care of our team, Oakley is now on the road to recovery!

Oakley's owner, Joshua Gardener, said: “The vets provided great care for both us and Oakley, reassuring us that these things just happen."

Under the skilled hands of small animal specialist Elena Addison and resident Edward Bietzk, Oakley underwent successful surgery to treat his fractured tibia. 🏥 The meticulous care and attention to detail ensured Oakley's speedy recovery, much to the relief of Joshua and his partner, Lucinda.

Lucinda expressed their gratitude, saying: “We’d absolutely recommend them to other pet owners. The whole process was organised, supportive and comforting- putting us at ease as much as possible throughout. Exactly what you would need in a stressful, unknown situation."

Now Oakley is back to his playful self, with a bright future ahead! 🐾

As part of Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, we’re shining a spotlight on some of our incredible Veterinary Nurses and Patient Care Assistants.

Hannah has been a Registered Veterinary Nurse at Davies for an amazing 20 years! A huge congratulations is in order! 👏

Hannah is our Nurse Training Manager – a role she hadn’t seen herself doing before, but she’s enjoying the journey it’s taking her on. She loves seeing our Student Veterinary Nurses progress, develop and grow in confidence.

Hannah’s Davies journey began when she joined us as a Rotating Nurse two decades ago. Five years ago, Hannah took on the Wards Supervisor role before making the leap to Nurse Training Manager 18 months ago.

Now, Hannah spends her days supporting our Student Veterinary Nurses, inducting new nurses, updating policies and procedures as required, and giving training sessions for our Patient Care Assistants and Technicians.

As part of Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, we're shining a spotlight on some of our incredible Veterinary Nurses and Patient Care Assistants.

Sophie's passion for veterinary nursing is evident in her six-year journey at Davies. As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, she not only supervises but also leads the Flexi Nursing team, showcasing her commitment to her work.

While Sophie’s favourite moment is still the time she passed her exams, she’s had some amazing career accomplishments over the years, such as moving into referral nursing, completing her graduate diploma and taking the step into her current role as team leader.

Sophie enjoys leading her team and seeing them develop and progress in their own roles. She also finds the moment when she sees a patient get better and go home really rewarding.

Laura is our Clinical Governance Lead and has been with Davies for 16 years. 🎉

Laura began her nursing journey in 2007; she completed her Registered Veterinary Nurse qualification and quickly moved into referral nursing, joining our team in 2008.

Initially working as a rotating nurse, Laura gained experience in all practice areas, including wards. She realised that this is where her passion was and this only grew.

💬 "There is no better feeling than knowing you contributed to a patient's recovery, or even just knowing you were there to offer comfort to a patient in their final days."

Laura's career journey has taken her through rotations, dispensary and wards, with roles such as Deputy Supervisor, Wards Supervisor and Head Nurse.

Last year, Laura embraced the opportunity to become our Clinical Governance Lead. This new role focuses on patient safety, evidence-based protocol development and implementing positive changes within the team. This aligns perfectly with her dedication to enhancing patient care. The role has also led Laura to exploring the Human Factors approach to enhance team dynamics.

Laura still gets to work within wards occasionally, which enables her to keep in touch with the patients and the practicalities of the practice.

Lucy Davies tells us all about her training, experience and much more...

"I chose this career path because of my love of animals and always had animals when growing up. I completed an Animal Management course at Shuttleworth, then decided to take my career further.

"I wasn't originally sure about becoming a Veterinary Nurse, so I applied for a role as a Wards PCA. I enjoyed working closely with the Veterinary Nurses and became more interested in their work, and this helped me decide to apply for a Student Veterinary Nurse role.

"My SVN journey has been up and down, but very rewarding and interesting, expanding my knowledge. When I started, I knew nothing, so I now have a good sense of achievement!

"I have built trusting relationships with my peers here, who have helped me so much, both nurses and clinicians. I chose to join Davies because it is local to me, and I have a family link to the practice.

"It was easier for me to undertake the SVN role because I already knew the way the practice runs and the general routines, having worked here as a PCA already. This helped me settle into the student role much quicker.

"My clinical supervisor, Helen, has mentored me through my training and has been very supportive. My line manager has helped me this year, particularly with revision. I always had regular study time and met with my Clinical Supervisor, which is really important.

"There is always something to do here, such as learn new skills and be involved with interesting cases. I would recommend Davies as a Training Practice because of the knowledge of the staff, the team ethic and the supportiveness of my peers."

I have now moved into a non-clinical role as Operations Manager for the practice, but my experience as a nurse and nursing within the Davies team really supports my role."

🤔 Describe your role
"Ensuring we as a team are able to provide care to the pets, owners and referral practices who need us by ensuring everything is in place to enable this to happen."

Puppies!

🐶 Happy National Puppy Day! Did you know? We provide a neurology service to offer a hearing assessment clinic for puppies? The clinic caters for dog and cat breeds on screening programmes for congenital deafness and where hearing loss is suspected. The clinic is led by Neurology Technician Julia Freeman, a leading exponent of the Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER) screening test, an objective, unequivocal way of assessing a pet’s hearing ability. Julia was a Neurology Technician at the Animal Health Trust for 31 years. She helped to develop and implement BAER testing as a screening process in animals at risk of congenital deafness. This is now recognised as the gold standard in deafness testing by organisations such as The Kennel Club and various breed clubs in the UK. More than 90 breeds of dogs have been identified as having congenital deafness. Breeds affected include Dalmatians, Bull Terriers, English Setters, Border Collies, Australian Cattle Dogs and Parson Russell Terriers. Owners of at-risk breeds can self-refer for screening tests.

In addition to on-the-job training, you will be given five professional development days to help enhance and set you up for a successful career in veterinary nursing, as well as time off the rota to focus on your new skills and to improve your knowledge base. Davies offers outstanding facilities and a multi-disciplinary specialists and nursing team who are exceptionally friendly, professional and dedicated.
