Do you remember Peanut from February who received the custom plate to correct his extreme left carpal laxity?

Well, we had the pleasure of seeing little Peanut back for post surgical radiographs at the end of March and look at the difference between pre and post surgery!

Did you know we stock a variety of harnesses to sell to our inpatients following surgery?

Many procedures performed at Christchurch Referrals require dogs to be walked on a chest support harness to assist them during recovery.
And we are pleased to announce that we now stock Bailey and Coco harnesses!

If you would like the nursing team to price up and fit a harness for your pet, please make them aware during communication either on the phone or via PetsApp, and they will be able to do this for you.

This little beauty is Stella, the 1 year 4 month old Labrador who suffered a injury after playing with a stick!

Surgeon Aleks performed an assessment of Stella's mouth, revealing an entry wound in the pharyngeal area which was discharging purulent material. A CT scan followed this assessment and a foreign object was discovered in the right side of her neck. Little Stella was then taken into surgery and a piece of stick was removed.

Stella stayed with us overnight for monitoring before being sent home on a course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.

This is Ralph, he often comes in to see head nurse Clare for hydrotherapy - though he does love to spend a lot of time receiving cuddles from the nursing team before and after his session.

Poor little Ralph underwent spinal surgery in June 2024 and even after three weeks of intensive hospitalisation, he was still a grade 4 and it was never guaranteed that his movement would return. We are pleased to say that with every visit, we see an improvement with little Ralphy and today we even celebrate his birthday!

Happy 8th birthday, Mister!

For anyone wondering about the power behind the scenes here at Christchurch Veterinary Referrals, we felt it was time we revealed who is really in charge.

This is Roo.
A rather handsome 6 year old CKCS.

His primary responsibilities here in the office include:

♥ Scheduling of appropriate snack moments
♥Welcoming guests in for meetings to head office
♥Ensuring the surround area is clear and free of danger
♥ Snoring loudly to remind us who is the boss
♥ Goodie selection in the form of a nose nudge
♥ Keeping us up to date on employee of the month (read on to guess who)

While the rest of us are working diligently to maintain his figure, Roo collaborates with surgeon Raul regularly to secure treats on his way home after a long day of work.

What an example to us all.

This little cutie is Marnie, the 3 month old Lancashire Heeler, who suffered a fractured leg after falling down the stairs!

Radiographs revealed a closed complete minimally displaced spiral fracture of the right tibia. Surgeon Tom performed Marnie's repair using a tiny 2.0mm bridging locking plate in a minimally invasive Open-but-do-not-touch fashion.

Little Marnie stayed with us in hospital overnight for monitoring and pain relief before being sent home the following day on strict crate rest.

Good luck with your recovery, Marnie!

Last weekend a handful of nurses joined the Dedicated to Dachshunds with IVDD group as they held a quiz night at The Woolpack.
