We know that when your pet needs veterinary treatment this can be a worrying and stressful time for both you and your pet.
When your pet is admitted for a procedure or hospitalisation at Moorview Referrals you will be asked what you would like to be done in the unlikely event that your pet suffers a cardiac arrest.
We know that this can be a difficult and upsetting question to answer. Our vets are more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this.
You can also follow the link below to find out more information on what a cardiac arrest is and how cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed.

Find out more about our services and the disciplines that our vets cover by reading our factsheets.

Meet Pablo

This adorable and brave patient with a very cool name Pablo (on the right) was presented to us with radial fracture following a fall.

Considering the size of Pablo's delicate leg and therefore the bone, the implants that were used were rather petite.

However, we are very pleased to report that the surgery went very well and repeated imaging 8 weeks later showed complete fracture healing allowing Pablo to go back to being mischievous boy.

When should I refer a non-ambulatory dog, and what can I manage on my own?

What’s the difference between Horner’s syndrome and facial paralysis again?

In a busy practice, finding the time to perform a full neurological exam from start to finish—and then delve into the textbooks—can be a challenge. This course is designed to simplify the process, focusing on practical approaches tailored to each case presentation. Working in small groups, you’ll collaborate to pinpoint neurolocalisation, making it easier to apply in real-world situations.

Join us on February 4th at Coquet Vets! (Northern CPD)

Some lovley feedback from Hugo's owners.

"We can’t even put into words the thanks for everything that everyone at Moorview referrals did to save his life.
From the second we walked in the doors we were all made so welcome.
The second we met Jos, we knew that Hugo was in the best hands. The care and surgery that she performed was simply amazing. We can’t thank her enough. Hugo doesn’t like vets but he liked her and that’s speaks volumes! She was always so gentle and caring and wanted to help Hugo.
As for the nurses (Hugo’s girlfriends as Jos called them), are angels ! If I’m ever poorly (hopefully not) I would like to be looked after by them! The care that they provide is just the best. They always took the time to talk to us and explain the situation.
They just got Hugo too. They understood his ways and I really felt that they loved him and cared for him the way we would.
The receptionist team , I would also like to thank you. You always asked us how we were doing when we came in, always willing to help and just went above and beyond. Every phone call - and there was a lot of them… was never a bother.
For such a stressful and horrible time, you made it the best you possible could and got us through a really difficult time.
If Hugo could talk , I know he would thank you all, with all of his heart."

Everyone is so pleased to hear that Hugo is d**g well he is such a super star.

Meet Lola

Lola was referred to our ECC department following a choking episode resulting in respiratory distress. When Lola arrived with us she had a breathing tube in place to ensure she was receiving enough oxygen. A CT scan revealed that Lola was suffering from Non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, this is a build up of fluid in the lungs which in this case was caused by the trauma of choking.

After some initial treatment and stabilisation we were able to remove the breathing tube and move Lola into an oxygen kennel, where she continued to be intensively monitored. After a few days hospitalisation Lola was well enough to be discharged back to her owners and come back to us for regular check ups.

We are delighted to let you all know that Lola has now been fully discharged from our care and is back to being a mischievous puppy ready to celebrate her first Christmas. We are sure she will be spoiled rotten, she certainly deserves it.
