🐾 Meet the loveliest boy, Lincoln! 🐶

Today, Lincoln underwent BOAS surgery and nares resection to help him breathe more comfortably. This sweet, friendly boy stole our hearts, and we loved having him with us for the day 🥰👏

💉 What is BOAS surgery?

BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) surgery removes excess tissue obstructing a dog's airway, making breathing easier. It's often done for brachycephalic breeds (like pugs and bulldogs) to improve their quality of life, making them more active and playful.

📋 Signs your dog might need BOAS surgery:

Noisy breathing (snoring, snorting, or wheezing)
Excessive panting
Heavy or labored breathing
Heaving chest and stomach while breathing
If you'd like more information about BOAS surgery, give us a call at 01634407777.

We wish Lincoln a speedy recovery! ❤️‍🩹🐾

This super sweet friend is Spike 💚

Spike is a French Bulldog which is what is known as a brachycephalic breed (meaning he has a shortened head)
They have all of the same structures as longer faces dogs in terms of soft palate, tonsils and tongue, but these structures are all filling a much smaller space.

This can cause a condition called Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) due to a soft palate that is too long for the dog's mouth, partially blocking the windpipe. They also often have very small nostrils which do not allow much in the way of airflow
Our incredible vet Eleni has a particular interest in surgery to correct BOAS. This surgery involves enlarging the nostrils and shortening the soft palate.

Eleni performed this surgery for Spike, whilst he was very closely monitored by our brilliant senior theatre nurse Jonathan.
Spike recovered very well following surgery and went home the very same day 🥳

We expect this surgery to allow Spike to breath more easily and have an improved quality of life 🐶
We will keep in contact with Spike's lovely owner, and see him back soon to monitor his progress
Well done Spike! ⭐️
🐾Symptoms of BOAS include🐾
Noisy breathing, such as snoring, wheezing, or snorting
Open mouth breathing
Bluish gums
Laboured breathing
Gagging when swallowing
Reduced or inability to exercise
Collapse
If you are concerned about any of these symptoms in your dog, please do get in touch with the clinic on 0208 674 3525 and we can book you in for an assessment with Eleni to see how we may be able to help

🦊 A kind-hearted member of the public brought us a young fox they found near Balham Station in desperate need of help 🦊. This little one is suffering from an advanced case of mange—a debilitating condition caused by parasitic mites that live in the skin. The poor fox was weak, dehydrated, and covered in dry, itchy skin. 🥺
We sprung into action to give this brave little one the care they need to get back on their paws.🧡 We provided intravenous fluids and medications to restore his strength and keep him stable. He’s also been given anti parasitic to combat fleas and ticks and to treat the mange that has taken such a toll on his health. We will be transferring him to the wonderful team at Wildlife Aid Leatherhead. There, he’ll continue his recovery in a safe environment, with the ultimate goal of being released back into the wild where he belongs. 🐾Every life is important whether that’s a wild animal or a beloved pet, They all deserve love and care! ❤️
💡 What is Mange?� Mange is caused by microscopic mites, tiny creatures that burrow into the skin, causing intense itching, irritation, and hair loss. In severe cases, like this young fox’s, it can lead to infections and even death if untreated. The type of mange we commonly see in foxes is caused by Sarcoptes scabiei, a mite that spreads easily through close contact or contaminated environments.
When we took a sample from our foxy friend and examined it under the microscope, we found a bustling community of mites. These little critters may be fascinating under a microscope (check out the video!), but they wreak havoc on their host's health. 🔬

Sweet little Melody, the beautiful 5year old French Lop, presented to us for further investigations as she has not been feeling so well. She is owned by one of our incredible nurses from our Lakeview Veterinary Centre. 🐾

She had an ultrasound and a CT scan. We are just awaiting the CT results to be able to determine a forward plan for this sweet little hoppity. She was an absolute pleasure to have with us. 🐰 🥰

CT scanning is a fantastic diagnostic tool, providing highly detailed images of cross-sections of the body. This allows us to visualise bones, organs, blood vessels and soft tissue more clearly than your traditional x-rays. We are very lucky to be able to perform these scans and offer this service 💚

🌟Wonderful Lucy visited us because she had been experiencing repeated urinary infections. We identified that she had urinary stones therefore our vets performed a cystotomy to remove these stones.
A cystotomy is a surgical procedure where an incision is made in the urinary bladder wall to then remove the stones.

🌟Below the diagnostic image shows the stones on x-ray. This is an important method to help aid our diagnosis. There is also a photograph of the stones after they have been removed.
🌟We wish Lucy a comfortable and speedy recovery.

Little Echo was rushed to us by her worried owners after giving birth to one precious puppy, but hours passed with no sign of more. Our vets were concerned a puppy might be stuck, putting Echo and her babies at risk. 🐾

Just before surgery, our vet Paegan did a quick ultrasound and good news! she found heartbeats! 🥰 Echo was taken into surgery, and with the help of our amazing team, we safely delivered and resuscitated 5 beautiful puppies. 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

Echo’s surgery went wonderfully, and she’s now home, happily nursing her little ones. 🏡💚 Bulldogs often face birthing challenges, so remember, we’re here for you and your pets 24/7. If you’re ever worried, call us at 02086743525. 😊

Key hole hunt! 😳

Little Chips came to our Blackheath Veterinary Surgery to see our vets Alan and Gav and have an explorative procedure using their laparoscopic equipment.

Despite being spayed abroad, Chips came to see them as she had been displaying symptoms of NOT being neutered, and repeated mammary masses… their incredible vet team suspected that there may have been some remnants of ovarian tissue left behind (which can sometimes happen on rare occasions), however, using the camera to see inside, they saw that there was a whole o***y still there!

This remaining o***y was removed via key hole, and little Chips had a smooth recovery

She looks a little sad in her photo, but she has a little droopy eye which she has had since birth.

Good luck little one 🥰

What an incredible experience at this year's WVS Rabies Rally! 🛺🐕 DNA Vetcare was thrilled to sponsor and participate in such a fun and meaningful event, racing through the beautiful landscapes of Cornwall. Alongside the adventure, we had the chance to learn about the vital work being done by WVS, WHO, Dogs Trust, MSD, CEVA, and other organizations in the fight to eradicate rabies globally. 💚

We’re proud to share that DNA Vetcare took home both first and last place! 🏆 It was a fantastic event, and we’re so grateful to Luke Gamble and the entire WVS team for their dedication and inspiration. The DNA team consisted of Deanna RVN (regional head nurse of Croydon), Paul RVN (projects manager and lead on DNA Charity Commission), Aida (night VCA and vet), Dane (clinical director), and Stephanie RVN (head nurse of Streatham Hill Vets)

Now, time to recover from the excitement of this memorable journey!

We want to say a huge congratulations to our amazing student nurse Sophie for passing her first year exams! Well done Sophie! Now for year two! Well on the way to becoming a registered veterinary nurse 🐾💚💚

Beautiful Nelly🌷

Nelly visited us for a laparoscopic neutering procedure! Shown are some pre, intra, and post operative images of her stay with us. 🩺
Nelly was super brave, and was up and raring to go super quickly after surgery. She has been discharged for some well deserved rest and recuperation, and we will see her for her post-op checks in 3 and 10 days! 💚

🔑Laparoscopic neutering (or keyhole surgery) is beneficial to any dog over 10kgs.
The benefits include....
• Faster recovery
• Minimally invasive surgery
• Less surgical stress
• Reduced bruising due to precise incisions
• Up to 65% less post-surgical pain
• Safer with lower risks of infection
• Lower risk of post-spay urinary incontinence

Meet Bella 🐶

Bella is a 8 year old Beagle who presented with a mass on the base of her head. The mass has been there for almost a year but has gradually gotten bigger and started to bother her.

Bella visited the surgery to have the lump removed by our fantastic surgeon Eleni👩🏼‍⚕️

It is often impossible to say what ‘lumps and bumps’ are just by looking at them, so Bella’s lump will be sent off to the lab so that a pathologist can examine the cells under a microscope🔬

Bella recovered well from her procedure with one of our amazing veterinary care assistants, Megan, and will be back to visit us in 3-4 days for a post surgery check up and to go through the results from the lab🧪

At DNA Vetcare, our independence allows us to pool our expertise and resources to deliver exceptional care to every pet we treat. 🌟

Last week, at our Iffley branch, we had the pleasure of looking after Polo, the adorable French Bulldog, who came in for BOAS surgery. 🐶💚

Our skilled vet Shivana, who has advanced qualifications in small animal surgery, teamed up with Scott to perform this delicate procedure. 🩺✂️ BOAS surgery can be life-changing for brachycephalic breeds, improving their quality of life tremendously. 🐕✨

06/08/2024

At DNA Vetcare we are very pleased to not only be able to offer a routine day-to-day vet service but also the more advanced surgery.

Our surgeon Eleni had a busy time last week, starting with fixing a nasty tibial fracture on little Gizmo.

During surgery a small plate was placed to help stabilise the fracture site, while the bone heals.

Gizmo surgery was a success and he is recovering well, all being well he will fully healed within a few months.

He’s not a fan of cuddles, but was happy to pose for a post-op picture with Eleni 🥰💚

This year's first grass seed! 😱😱

Brave Bonnie and her pesky grass seed 🐶
Bonnie visited our Peckham Vets branch yesterday as she was having some ear trouble and was very uncomfortable when we looked in her ear 💚
Bonnie stayed with Peckham Vets' amazing team for the day and they attempted to examine her ear a little later and found a grass seed lodged in there. With care they removed this from her ear and gave her ears a clean.

Bonnie was instantly more comfortable once this grass seed was removed 🥰

Grass seeds are very common this time of year and you can often find them getting stuck in ears and paws - especially in dogs with long ears or fluffy feet 🐾 it is always wise to check your dogs paws and ears when getting back from walks to make sure there are no grass seeds stuck or not puncture wounds from a pesky grass seed 🐶
