Another day another life saving procedure.

Shelley's owner informed me on the way to preschool that Shelley had sustained a serious forelimb injury (cause unknown) and requested that I bring her to work today for further investigations. Luckily there were no fractures which is important because turtles need their front legs for swimming. We suspect a soft tissue strain and as such have bandaged the stricken limb and we are cautiously optimistic about full return to function.

Hello everyone, just an update on the latest in the avian influenza situation in Ireland. It's looking like it is going to be a bad winter for avian influenza here and in the UK so compulsory orders are coming in to keep all birds under cover from Monday (but if you can do so sooner all the better, Kells is not too far from here).

The Department of Agriculture is also advising now that members of the public do not approach or pick up sick/injured wild birds. If you do see them, please ring the department who will send out appropriately equipped personnel to collect them. Please do not bring them to the clinic at this time.

Lovely labrador Dave was a hero last week. This smashing boy has been a frequent flyer with us over the last couple of years due to his puppy antics but we never predicted that he would grow up to be a real life saver.

Dave's auntie Izzy came in to see us last week and she was very very unwell. Her prognosis was poor as she needed surgery to have any hope but her bloodwork showed her to be so anaemic that surgery was going to be incredibly risky. We thought there was no hope but then realised that Dave would make a perfect blood donor. Wonderful brave Dave provided a life saving blood transfusion to his auntie and this allowed her to safely have her surgery.

A week on and Izzy is doing fantastically well and we hope she will make a full recovery. Izzy's biggest issue is that she is not the biggest fan of Dave usually but she owes him her life so she will have to be nice to him from now on (or at least for a couple of weeks!). Well done Dave and Izzy, we are so glad you are both doing so well! ❤️

Beautiful Bill went missing for a few days recently and returned with an awful injury to his front leg. We did xrays and found that poor Bill had been shot and his leg was very infected, necrotic and badly broken, with pieces of shrapnel throughout his body. We removed his leg to save his life, but could not isolate all of the shrapnel as it was scattered across his body. Unfortunately he developed a second infection due to the shrapnel and required a second surgery. For a while it was touch and go but thank goodness Bill has pulled through and is doing brilliantly now. He is always so friendly and loves his treats. He had his last check up today and we will miss him so much but also definitely don't want him to need to come back any time soon!
