November is Antibiotic Amnesty Month!

At Broadleys we would encourage clients to return any unused or out of date antibiotics.

This allows for;
💊Correct and safe disposal of antibiotic medications
💊 Avoids contamination of the environment
💊 Helps to prevent antimicrobial resistance due to inappropriate disposal

Irresponsible use of antibiotics can lead to dangerous side effects, delays in diagnosis and treatment plans, and could contribute to antimicrobial resistance.

✅Please return any unused antibiotics to reception and the practice will dispose of them correctly for you.

We wanted to share a case study with you all this Friday 🐾

Luna, a 5 year old female neutered cross-breed presented to the hospital lethargic, with vomiting and diarrhoea, and had been found by her owners collapsed at home.

Luna was very unwell and deteriorating fast, so diagnostic tests were performed to assess the extent of Lunas illness.

On admit Luna had a high heart rate (tachycardia), and a low re**al body temperature.

Blood tests showed a marked increase in Lunas’ liver values (ALT), and prolonged blood clotting times. An abdominal ultrasound revealed that Luna had a moderate volume of free-fluid in her abdomen. This was sampled using a needle and the fluid was confirmed to be blood (haemoabdomen). The gall-bladder also had a halo-appearance, but the scan showed no other organ pathology.

With advice from emergency and critical care clinicians from Edinburgh, we diagnosed Luna with a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction (anaphylaxis and secondary coagulopathy).

Lunas treatment included aggressive intravenous fluid therapy, a fresh frozen plasma transfusion, and antihistamines to improve cardiovascular status, replace her clotting factors, and limit ongoing histamine release.

The veterinary nurses and animal care assistants (ACA’S) worked around the clock to ensure Luna was constantly monitored.

Following volume resuscitation, when Luna was able to stand and respond to stimuli, it was noted that Luna was walking in wide circles to the right, and her menace response in her left eye was absent. A right sided forebrain bleed was suspected, secondary to the coagulopathy.

Luna made a massive improvement after receiving fluid therapy and treatment with fresh frozen plasma. Luna’s cardiovascular status stabilised (heart rate and blood pressure) and her body temperature returned to normal.

The free-fluid in Lunas abdomen resolved, and her blood clotting times were back to a normal range within 24 hours. Lunas neurological signs were monitored, and it was noted that neurological function returned to normal within 24 hours and all clinical signs associated with the right forebrain bleed had resolved.

Luna was discharged from the hospital 2 days later on oral medication. Lunas bloods were re-checked a few weeks later and were all back to normal limits.

Anaphylaxis is a very rare condition to see in first opinion practice, and can be life threating without prompt recognition and treatment. It has been reported that common triggers of anaphylaxis are drug reactions, ingested food, insect stings and bites.

Luna’s owners were so happy that she had such a great outcome and wanted to share her story with you all!

Everyone at Broadleys Vets was so happy to hear of Lunas progress and we are so glad she is back to her normal self 🐕🐾🥰👏

📋Case Study 1 - Ovariohysterectomy 🐶 🐾Here is Belle (1yo, Female, Cocker Spaniel) She recently visited the practice for an ovariohysterectomy (spay). 🐾Spaying, or neutering a female dog, involves the removal of the ovaries and the uterus. 🐾Spaying your female dog will stop her from coming into season, and prevents unwanted pregnancy if your pet was to be accidently caught by an entire male dog. Spaying will also reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer in later life. 🐾A couple of weeks ago Belle received a ‘pre-spay check’ by one of our vets, Helen, to make sure she was fit and healthy enough for her operation. During this appointment the vet also checked that Belle was not in season or producing milk. 🐾Follow her journey through the practice on the day of her surgery…
