This week is World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW), a global campaign that is celebrated annually to raise awareness about antibiotic resistance and the dangers it poses to both human and animal health.
It's critical that we preserve the effectiveness of our antibiotics for as long as possible, which can be achieved by only using them when necessary. The battle against antibiotic resistance is a collective effort, and we all have a role to play.
We’re going blue to raise awareness. Are you ready to do your part?

lens luxation
Learning about lens luxation…
The lens is a clear structure located behind the iris inside the eye. It is held in place by lots of tiny tension cables called zonules. It helps to focus light onto the retina, where the light is transformed into an electrical signal and sent to the brain.
Lens luxation is a dislocation of the lens. In some breeds of dogs, usually Jack Russell Terriers and other terrier breeds, there is an underlying genetic defect causing the zonules to snap. This is called primary lens luxation.
This condition causes dogs to present with a very painful red and cloudy eye, eventually leading to loss of sight. Thankfully, our talented ophthalmologists are on hand and, with vast experience in this condition, they can help treat animals suffering from it.

Stevie the rescue dog
#MiracleAtApolloHouse…read all about it! 📰
Back in September, we hit the headlines with a case that touched the hearts of our entire team. ❤️
Rescue dog Stevie was taken in by the Dogs Trust and then adopted by the Tatlow family. The two-year-old cocker spaniel was blind before undergoing a sight-saving double cataract operation here at Eye Vet.
Now, he has helped transform the life of the Tatlows' daughter Tegan, who is autistic and previously would rarely leave the house.
Tegan now takes Stevie on daily walks, plays with him and looks after his medication, as the pair have formed an incredible bond.

Dougal the goose
Ready for another #MiracleAtApolloHouse?!
Poor Dougal the goose had previously lost his family in a fox attack and, despite suffering slight injuries in the attack, had been rehomed to live a quiet life when his previous owners moved to France.
However, after suffering impaired vision, which affected his quality of life, Dougal was seen by our clinical director Iona Mathieson.
Iona successfully treated Dougal, who was reunited with his life partner Olive and living his best life until he passed away peacefully at the grand old age of 28!
Giving Dougal his sight back was an honour and we are glad we could help make his last six months more enjoyable.

French bulldog Pep
Saving your pet's sight is our superpower!
In May 2021, we saved the vision of French bulldog Pep. Warned he was in danger of losing his eyesight at just four months old due to a cluster of cysts and growths around his eyes, Pep's owner Kathleen Lee immediately brought him to us.
Due to the complexity of the microsurgery, advanced veterinary ophthalmologist Natasha Carr-Syvecha took charge of the situation. Thanks to her incredible skill and experience, the surgery was a huge success!
Another great #MiracleAtApolloHouse…🙌
