Tinker’s Incredible Journey – 6 Years of Strength & Joy

This week marks six years since Tinker came to us after being struck down with grade 5 IVDD in February 2019. She arrived in a terrible state, in awful pain, and facing an uncertain future.

Thanks to life changing surgery, we were able to relieve her pain and give her a fighting chance. While she never regained the use of her hind legs, that didn’t stop her from living life to the absolute fullest.

With the dedicated care of Rebecca Heald, Chartered Physiotherapist & Veterinary Physiotherapist, Tinker has continued to thrive. Now at 13 years old, she’s still full of life, enjoying every moment on two paws and two wheels instead of four.

Tinker is a true inspiration, showing that nothing can hold her back. Here’s to many more happy, adventure-filled years ahead.

Molly & Badger’s Laser Therapy Journey

Meet Molly and Badger, two of our patients benefiting from Class 4 K-Laser therapy at Moorview.

Laser therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that helps manage pain and inflammation while speeding up healing and recovery. It’s commonly used for conditions such as:

- Arthritis and joint pain
- Wounds and skin conditions
- Tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries
- Spinal disc disease
- Post-surgical and post-stem cell treatment recovery

The therapy provides a deep warming sensation, making it a relaxing experience for pets. Each 15-minute session is carried out by our ACPAT-qualified physiotherapist, who may also provide tailored exercises, massage techniques, and recovery advice.

Sessions are £26, with a course of six treatments often recommended for chronic conditions or healing. Each pet is assessed individually to determine the best approach.

🐾 Patient Story: Joe’s Eventful Stay at Moorview Referrals

Joe, a lively Springer Spaniel, was rushed to Moorview with a distended belly, leaving his owner extremely concerned. Initially, there was a fear that he had ingested something he shouldn’t have. Our team quickly assessed his condition, providing immediate care and reassurance during a very stressful time.

After further examination, we discovered that Joe hadn’t swallowed anything dangerous. He had simply managed to escape from the kitchen and overindulged in his own food. He spent the night under observation, charming our team along the way, and was discharged the next day much more comfortable after what his owner described as the world’s most expensive meal!

We’re pleased to hear that Joe has made a full recovery. A huge thank you to his owner for sharing this story. At Moorview Referrals, we know how distressing these situations can be, and we’re committed to providing compassionate, high-quality veterinary care when it’s needed most.

March is Pet Anxiety Awareness Month
Vet visits can be a major source of stress for pets, but with a little preparation, you can help ease their anxiety.

🐶 For Dogs:
- Take short car rides so they don’t associate the car only with the vet.
- Bring a familiar blanket or toy for comfort.
- Use treats and praise to encourage calm behavior.

🐱 For Cats:
- Keep their carrier open at home with cosy bedding inside.
- Cover the carrier with a blanket to reduce visual stress.
- Avoid loud noises and sudden movements while handling them.

If your pet struggles with vet visit anxiety, speak to your vet for tips or possible calming aids. A stress-free pet means a smoother visit for everyone!

Meet Ash!

Ash presented to our ECC team when he was only 6 months old having suddenly collapsed. Initial tests showed that he had very high ammonia levels and he was promptly stabilised with intravenous fluids and medications to reduce his ammonia levels. He stayed in the hospital for a couple of days, but improved very quickly.

Further tests showed that his high ammonia levels were caused by a condition called Imerslund-Grasbeck syndrome, which prevents absorption of vitamin B12 from the intestine. It causes poor growth, lethargy, and eventually neurological signs. Ash now takes a vitamin B12 supplement regularly and we are delighted to see that he is back to being a happy, playful, growing puppy!

In the photo, you can also spot her sister Pixie, who’s always by her side. 😊
