A world first from the team at London Vet Specialists. ๐Ÿ’š

Earlier this year, we joined forces with the London Zoo's team at our hospital, pooling our resources and expertise to care for two critically endangered Javan Green Magpies.

Groundbreaking CT scans assessed the health of the birds' lungs for the presence of fungal infection and aspergillosis.

Ana Garcรญa Fernandez, Radiology Consultant, said: "The opportunity to help diagnose members of this species is a reminder of why I love this profession. A special thanks to ZSL for its trust in the London Vet Specialists team."

Meet the Team: James Elford BVetMed Dip ECVN MRCVS ๐Ÿ‘

We're thrilled to welcome James Elford to the London Vet Specialists team! With a wealth of experience and expertise in veterinary neurology, James is a valuable addition to London and our team as he heads up the first complete specialist neurology service within the M25. ๐Ÿง 

James graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in London in 2008, laying the foundation for his remarkable career in veterinary medicine. His journey into neurology began after working in mixed practice, eventually leading him to pursue a rotating internship in September 2011. This pivotal experience ignited his passion for neurology, prompting him to embark on a neurology residency at our sister hospital, Willows Veterinary Referrals.

In 2022, James was honored with the prestigious diploma of the European College of Veterinary Neurology, a testament to his dedication and expertise in the field. His enthusiasm for both surgical and medical neurology reflects his comprehensive understanding and commitment to providing the best care for our furry companions.

With his extensive knowledge and genuine love for animals, James is an invaluable asset to our team as our services expand into our new Hammersmith hospital. We are confident that his presence will greatly benefit both patients and the devoted owners of London's pets. ๐Ÿคฉ

Meet Bruno, the brave Chihuahua. ๐Ÿ’•

Three-year-old Bruno was treated by our expert team after a lump discovered on his hind leg turned out to be his small intestines.

Diagnostic imaging by Radiology Consultant Dr Ana Fernandez confirmed that fat and intestines had herniated out of Brunoโ€™s abdomen through the upper leg muscles on his right side.

Under the skilled guidance of our Head of Soft Tissue Surgery, Dr Janet Kovak McClaran, Bruno's surgery was a success. His intestines were carefully returned to his abdomen, and his hernia was expertly repaired by stitching the opening in the leg muscles back together. Bruno was also castrated to reduce the risk of the hernia returning, a testament to our team's comprehensive approach to making A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS.

During his post-operative check two weeks later, Bruno was all healed and back to being his happy, bouncy self. Way to go, Bruno! ๐Ÿ’ช

Now, these were some amazing animals we don't see every day! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿฆœ

It was a momentous occasion when we joined forces with London Zooโ€™s team at our hospital, pooling our resources and expertise to care for two of these critically endangered Javan Green Magpies.

These birds, native to the island of Java in Indonesia, are in a perilous state. They are victims of the pet trade and habitat loss , with their population dwindling to a mere 50 in the wild.

As aspergillosis has been documented in the species, a CT scan was used to assess the health of their lungs for the presence of fungal infection. Following their procedure, both birds recovered well and returned to the zoo. The information collected from the procedures is invaluable, as this was the first CT study documented for the species.

We hope this data can be utilised to further understand the health of Javan Green Magpies and contribute toward the efforts to restore their population. ๐Ÿ’š

This is the lovely Boo, a six-year-old Ragdoll who was referred to our Internal Medicine Specialist Mary after suffering from diarrhoea and occasional vomiting for two months.

Blood tests and abdominal ultrasound imaging ruled out non-gastrointestinal causes, where there is now a suspicion of a chronic enteropathy.

Boo is currently on a diet trial to see if this alleviates his symptoms, though he may require an endoscopic examination of his gastrointestinal tract in the future if there are no improvements.

This Earth Day, we are taking veterinary care to the next level with our soon-to-open new hospital. But what sets us apart? It's our unique approach to design - the captivating Biophilic Design.

Biophilic Design is a term used by many different professions to explore the use of nature within the built environment. It's a concept that goes beyond aesthetics and brings nature into every corner of our hospital.

How can Biophilic Design improve veterinary care?

1๏ธโƒฃ Reduced stress: Studies have shown that exposure to natural elements like plants and natural light can help reduce stress levels in both humans and animals. Our hospital's design will create a calming and healing environment

2๏ธโƒฃ Enhanced wellbeing: Natural elements have a positive impact on our wellbeing. By integrating Biophilic Design, we aim to improve the overall experience for our patients and their owners, ensuring a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere

3๏ธโƒฃ Increased productivity: Biophilic Design is known to boost productivity and focus. Our dedicated team of veterinarians and staff will benefit from a work environment that promotes well-being and efficiency, allowing them to provide the best care possible for your beloved pets

At London Vet Specialists, we believe that a healthy and healing environment is essential for the well-being of our patients and staff. We're excited to introduce this innovative concept to the veterinary field and provide your pets with the best possible care.

Our dog advocate Jess Atkins has shared some valuable insights into the Yellow Dog initiative, emphasizing the importance of respecting these signals and being considerate of dogs that may need their space.

The Yellow Dog initiative is an effort to raise awareness about dogs that need space. It involves using a yellow ribbon, leash or harness to signal that a dog needs extra space or may be anxious or reactive around other dogs.

Say hello to P**a, a six-year-old Beagle belonging to our Radiology Consultant, Ana.

P**a was abandoned as a seven-week-old puppy, weighing less than 1kg. She was having seizures and underwent multiple exams, including blood tests, ultrasound and a brain MRI to find a cause.

Thankfully, all tests were normal and once P**a was looked after and given the appropriate nutrition for her age, the seizures stopped.

Ana couldn't leave P**a without a home, taking her in and later relocating to London, where she is now the most spoiled dog in the London Vet Specialists office!
