Look how chilled out the gorgeous Steve was in his consult earlier 😍
Steve was at The Veterinary Hospital this morning having his eyes looked at - they look slightly green in these photos due to the fluoroscein dye used to look for ulcers on the corneal surface 👁️
One of our vets, Thryn, has a big interest in ophthalmology and is now happy to see any in-house referrals for more complex eye problems whilst she studies for her certificate 🐱
Come and visit us at the Heckington show!
We will be staying around taking care of all the show animals but have ensured that water is available for any thirsty pets next to ‘Bessie’ our mobile pet clinic which is situated next to the main ring 🐑
Cooper is a much loved regular at The Veterinary Hospital - he visits frequently to see vet Thryn for his eye problems and especially loves the liver paste she gives him! 😍 Here is a gorgeous photo of Cooper in “Bessie” (our mobile vet clinic) with his fetching hat to keep the sun out of his eyes.
Bessie will be at Heckington show this weekend - do come and say hello! ☀️
Happy Friday 🐾
As always, a selection of some of the beautiful animals who have visited us this week 😍

Meet ‘Ted’!
This little darling has had quite the journey with us over the past few weeks. He has secured his place as a favourite patient and made friends with the whole team during his stays with us!
Ted’s eagle-eyed groomer spotted a new lump on his neck during a routine pamper session, and Teds mum brought him straight in to have it checked out by the vet at the Skellingthorpe surgery. Ted was very brave as the vet took an aspirate sample of the swelling with a tiny needle and the sample was sent to a pathologist at the lab. The results took a week to come back- unfortunately bringing a suspicion that the growth was a tumour of the thyroid gland.
Thyroid tumours in dogs are thankfully relatively rare, but when they appear they are usually malignant (cancerous). Some types can become large and press on the structures in the neck, making it difficult for the patient to eat and breathe comfortably. It was important that we established exactly what type of tumour Ted had on his neck, and if the tumour had already spread to other parts of Ted’s body so we could make the best treatment plan for our boy.
Ted came into the Veterinary Hospital on Newport for his investigations. He had a little bit of sedation so he could relax whilst X-rays were taken of his neck and chest and he underwent an ultrasound scan of his tummy. Some more needle biopsies of the lump were taken, as well the nearby lymph nodes.
Fortunately we were able to use our new ‘Imagyst’ cytology machine to analyse those samples in house. This remarkable bit of kit scans the sample, which we place on a microscope slide, in ultra high definition and uses AI to help identify the cell type. The detailed scans of the slide are then sent over the internet to a pathologist so they can be analysed by human eyes too. This means results come through much quicker than with traditional lab testing (which relies on Royal Mail!)
The results came through- it was a mixed bag- but overall good news. Whilst we now knew that the tumour was a nasty thyroid carcinoma, there was no evidence that it had spread to another part of Teds body, and so he could have an operation to try and remove it.
Ted was booked in for surgery the following week to have the tumour excised.
Removing thyroid tumours can be dangerous as there is a high risk of bleeding, or damage to the vital nerves and blood vessels of the throat. It was a tense time for the two surgeons and the nurses involved, but the surgery went as well as it could, and the tumour was removed!
Ted was the bravest boy in recovery and quickly won the hearts of those looking after him! He was soon awake and snaffling some treats in between cuddles.
Ted has recovered well from his op and healed beautifully, thanks to plenty of TLC from his mum and dad at home. We will need to keep a close eye on him to make sure the tumour doesn’t come back- but for the moment he has a clean bill of health, and is back to playing with his brother Winston!
VH ❤️ Ted!
Happy Birthday🎂🥳🎉 To our fabulous receptionist Lucy.
