Nala is an adorable French Bulldog puppy who came to us in November with breathing difficulties. Ultrasound and CT scans revealed she had a lungworm infestation, which had caused right-sided heart damage and bleeding into her lungs.

It turns out she has a fondness for nibbling snails, which can carry lungworm larvae! 🐌

Thankfully, Nala responded well to treatment and is on track to make a full recovery. 🐾💖

Nala is really looking forward to Christmas and is hoping to find treats, toys, more cute outfits, and a new bed under the tree. She also said, “Granta is the best vets in the whole wide world!” 🐶✨

We think her Christmas presents should definitely include worming medication to keep her safe and healthy! 🎅

Kevin is a gorgeous 6-and-a-half-year-old Cockapoo who is currently undergoing chemotherapy for lymphoma. Despite everything, he is an incredibly brave dog who always manages to brighten our day.

Kevin enjoys his visits to Granta, especially because he knows there are plenty of treats waiting for him after his treatment for being such a good boy! 🐾💖

We’re wishing Kevin all the best as he continues his treatment, and we’re sure Santa has some extra-special goodies lined up for him this Christmas! 🎅✨

Dallas is a sweet French Bulldog who came to us in October with moderate BOAS (functional grade 2) and a BOAS index of 67%. She underwent multi-level treatment, including nasal coblation, to help improve her breathing and quality of life.

At her recheck in November, Dallas showed fantastic progress, her BOAS index had reduced to 34%, her functional grade was down to 1, her breathing was quieter, her exercise tolerance had improved, and her owners were thrilled that she no longer snores! 🐾💖

We’re not sure what Dallas’s Christmas wish might be, but we imagine she’d love some cozy cuddles and perhaps a few tasty treats under the tree! 🎅✨

We look forward to seeing Dallas yearly for her BOAS assessments to keep her in top form.

Frank, a highly trained police dog and an absolute delight to care for, was admitted as an emergency in July with a pyothorax.

A CT scan showed a foreign body and a lesion on his right caudal lung lobe. He went to theatre the same day, where his chest was flushed and the tip of his right caudal lung lobe was resected.

Grass seeds can be pesky, Frank later developed an abscess on his right thoracic wall, and another grass seed was removed in October. Now fully recovered, Frank no longer bends to the right and is back to his important work. 🐾

His Christmas wish?

A bag of tennis balls! 🎾✨ A well-deserved treat for this incredible patient! 🎅

Lottie came to us as an emergency after suddenly losing the use of her back legs. She was in significant pain and completely paralysed, unable to feel her back legs due to total spinal cord dysfunction.

An emergency CT scan revealed a slipped disc in her back, and she was taken straight to surgery to relieve the spinal cord compression.
Happily, Lottie began improving soon after surgery.

With the support of our nursing team, physiotherapists, and her dedicated owners, Lottie is now back on her feet and going from strength to strength! 🐾💖

We’re not sure what Lottie’s Christmas wish might be, but we wish her many more happy days filled with love and play! 🎅✨

11/12/2024

Yogi came to us shortly after we opened, presenting with recent-onset seizures. An MRI revealed a brain tumour (meningioma), which was surgically removed. Thanks to Max and the team, Yogi has been doing really well since surgery!

Although he still requires medication to manage his seizures, it hasn’t stopped him from living life to the fullest and bringing joy to everyone around him. 🐾💖

We don’t know what Yogi’s Christmas wish might be, but we wish him many more happy, healthy, and treat-filled days ahead! 🎅✨

🎄✨ Festive fun at Granta!

1️⃣ A little wreath-making magic with some of our amazing team 🌿🎀
�2️⃣ Bella the pug’s adorable gonk tribute to Max the neurologist 🐾😂�
3️⃣ A gorgeous hamper from one of Jane’s clients under the tree 🎁🎄

Feeling the holiday spirit and so grateful for our wonderful staff, clients, and furry patients this season!

Nellie came to us in early June with a tracheostomy tube in place, just three weeks after whelping. She spent a couple of weeks under Jane’s care while her laryngeal abscess resolved and then went home to be an amazing mum to her puppies.

At her last recheck in August, Nellie was thriving and even brought along her daughter, who has stayed with her as a companion! 🐾💖

Her Christmas Wish?

To spend more time with Lucie! 🐶✨ We think Santa will be happy to make this wish come true.

In July, Charlie, a sweet and brave young cat, was diagnosed with juvenile hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and came to us in heart failure. With expert care from Rob and the team, Charlie responded wonderfully to treatment and enjoyed precious time with her family.

Sadly, Charlie passed away last night, but she will always be remembered for her sweet nature and the happiness she brought to those who love her.

This Christmas, we hope Santa fills her stocking in kitty heaven with all the Dreamies she could ever want. 🐾💖✨

In April, Cinnamon was diagnosed with an injection site sarcoma.

Thanks to the care of Rob and Jane, she underwent chemotherapy to shrink the tumour before surgery, allowing for a complete surgical excision.

We’re so pleased to share that Cinnamon is now doing really well! 🐾💖

Her Christmas wish this year?
She loves sardines but wouldn’t mind trying a prawn cocktail! 🦐✨

We hope Santa delivers some tasty treats for this special girl! 🎅

Max presented with a progressive history of incoordination and a tilted head to one side. After extensive investigations, including blood tests, an MRI of his brain, and spinal fluid analysis, Max was diagnosed with Neosporosis, a parasitic infection of the nervous system.

Farm dogs are at higher risk of contracting this disease, often from scavenging carcasses. However, it’s believed Max contracted the parasite from his mother as a puppy and carried it silently until now.

Neosporosis can be a tricky condition to treat, but we’re delighted that Max is making steady progress at home. 🐾💖

His Christmas wish? To keep improving and enjoy life to the fullest! 🎅✨

06/12/2024

You may remember Bolt’s incredible story from a few weeks ago.

Bolt arrived almost completely paralysed after slipping a disc in his neck, leaving him unable to walk. With Max and the team’s dedication, along with Bolt’s incredible determination, he made an amazing recovery after surgery and weeks of rehabilitation. 🐾💪

His Christmas wish? To walk around Buttermere again! 🎯✨ We have no doubt Bolt will be back doing what he loves in no time!

Zuri, a lovely 3-and-a-half-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, was treated by Sara earlier this year for lymphoma.

She bravely underwent chemotherapy, completing her treatment in September. Now, Zuri is doing well and comes in for monthly rechecks to keep an eye on her progress. 🐾💖

Her Christmas wish this year? Any kind of food! 🦴✨

We think this beautiful girl deserves all the festive treats Santa can bring! 🎅

04/12/2024

Back in May, Neeko was diagnosed with a rare condition called pure red cell aplasia. She needed two blood transfusions and intensive immunosuppressive therapy to get things under control.

Thanks to the care and expertise of Rob and the team, Neeko is now doing really well and enjoying life again! 🐾💪

Her Christmas wish? Tennis balls and cat food! 🎾🐟

A unique combo for a very special girl, we hope Santa delivers! 🎅✨

Back in October, Pixie had a dramatic encounter with a supermarket delivery van while chasing a squirrel across the road.

Her pelvis was completely crushed, with severe fractures, significant skin trauma, and major haemorrhage. Thanks to the incredible emergency care she received at Granta, including imaging, intravenous fluid support, and pain control, Pixie was stabilised and set on the road to recovery.

After orthopaedic surgery and ongoing care with wound dressings and flushing, Pixie’s skin wounds are fully healed, and she’s adjusting beautifully to life on three legs. She’s back to getting around the house, playing with her toys, and bringing so much joy to her family.

Her Christmas wish this year? Some yummy food! 🦴✨ And we think this brave girl deserves every treat Santa can bring!

Pixie is also part of the GVS family, as she belongs to our wonderful Dermatologist, Janet Littlewood, who is incredibly proud of her progress.

02/12/2024

You may remember Cooper, who had quite the adventure earlier this year when he was impaled by a stake during a walk.

Thanks to Jackie and the team, he underwent emergency thoracic surgery and made an amazing recovery! 💪🐾

This Christmas, Cooper’s wish is simple and fun: a squeaky toy! 🧸✨
Let’s hope Santa has one in his sack! 🎅

01/12/2024

We’re celebrating some of our incredible past patients with a special advent calendar! Each day, we’ll share a story about one of the brave pets we’ve cared for this year, their journey to recovery, and their Christmas wish. 🎁🐾

This brave boy had a massive liver tumour the size of a football removed by our amazing Jackie back in May.

Now fully recovered, Toby’s Christmas wish this year is simple but heartfelt: some delicious food! 🦴✨

We hope Santa delivers, Toby! 🎅💖

Meet Pocket, a lovely English Springer who’s been battling a prostatic abscess and prostatitis since July. These CT images give a clear view of the challenges he faced: 1️⃣ Compression of the colon by the abscess, explaining his difficulty passing stools. 2️⃣ A massive prostatic abscess pressing against his urinary bladder. 3️⃣ A 3D reconstruction showing the abscess in detail We performed a procedure called prostatic omentalisation, draining the abscess and using omentum, a natural tissue, to act as a long-term drain and promote healing. Fast forward to now, and Pocket is back to his bright, happy self, with no more pain and a healthy urinary and digestive system! 🌟✨ #VetLife #ESSLove #CTScan #ProstaticAbscess #PetSurgery #SurgicalSuccess
