Lovely five-year-old Boston Terrier Lucy-Belle was referred to our Internal Medicine service after she became lethargic, struggled to walk and developed a cough, high temperature and diarrhoea. Tongue ulcers and enlarged lymph nodes meant she was struggling to eat. 💔

We carried out clinical investigations including blood tests, ultrasounds, urine testing and a CT scan. These revealed numerous disorders which led the team to believe Lucy-Belle was suffering from systemic lupus erythematous, where the body’s immune system attacks the healthy tissue. She also had a ruptured cruciate ligament in her right knee.

Lucy-Belle was hospitalised at LVS for two weeks, with 24-hour supportive nursing care and careful ongoing medical management. Lucy-Belle was able to go home after recovering from her symptoms and has been returning for regular check-ups with Small Animal Medicine Specialist Jodie Green.

Now her immunosuppressive medications have been successfully reduced, she will be seeing Dr Kiki Tarvin and the Orthopaedic team for further treatment of her cruciate ligament rupture.

Well done, brave Lucy-Belle! ❤️

You might remember Mali, one of our clinic’s superstar cats who never says no to a treat.

At a recent checkup, his GP vet noticed an irregular heart rhythm. To make sure Mali’s upcoming dental procedure would be as safe as possible, he visited our cardiology team for a specialist heart scan. True to form, Mali was calm and cooperative with a little help from treats.

The scan confirmed that his arrhythmia is benign and his heart is healthy. This is great news for Mali, who is now ready for his dental care.

Mali reminds us how important it is to investigate even small changes. ❤️

Ten-year-old Helen – a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Miniature Poodle – was referred to our Oncology team to assess a mast cell tumour on her left back leg. 🐶

Mast cell tumours are the most common skin tumours we see in dogs and can vary in severity from almost benign, to very aggressive.

Our Oncology team performed ultrasounds and took samples of the liver, spleen and some lymph nodes to help stage Helen’s disease. Fortunately, these revealed no evidence of cancer spread. 🙌

Our Soft Tissue Surgery team then removed the tumour, as well as the lymph node. We are so pleased the laboratory results showed the mass was completely removed and is a low-grade tumour, meaning Helen should be completely cured.

However, we always advise pet care-givers to monitor any skin lumps carefully, as a patient who has had one mast cell tumour may develop more in the future.

Even though she's an older girl, Helen looks and acts like a puppy, and is always happy to see our team (and have treats from them!). 😋

Gorgeous Tilly has been making herself comfortable during her visits to see Dr Erin Brennan, one of our Dermatology specialists. 🐱

Tilly has been diagnosed with Feline Atopic Skin Syndrome, an allergic skin condition. Erin has been overseeing Tilly’s treatment, ensuring we are keeping her comfortable by keeping her symptoms under control with immunotherapy treatment.

Tilly has specialised injections which aim to desensitise the immune system to specific allergens. This then reduces the overactive response that triggers uncomfortable symptoms like itching and inflammation.

We love seeing Tilly and we’re glad she’s feeling more comfortable with Erin’s help. ❤️

Christophe has just joined the LVS team as our new Neurologist! 👏

He was inspired to specialise in Neurology due to how it blends medicine and surgery, and loves how neurological processes control movement, sensation and thought. He loves all animals and says making their lives better is the reason he became a vet. ❤️

Outside of work, you’ll find him playing and watching sports, reading, surfing, travelling and swimming. His favourite way to spend his free time is with his partner and their elderly dog Kima, a Shepherd-cross rescued from the French mountains, and Toto, their beautiful Italian cat.

Christophe’s favourite part about working at LVS is the team and collaborative spirit here. We agree, Christophe! 🫶

One of her roles includes monitoring patients being prepped for surgery, as she’s filmed doing here.

Outside of work, Laura loves exploring London, going out with friends, trying different foods and going for walks - especially if dogs are involved! 🐕
