Munster’s first MRI scanner for pets has arrived 🙌
High field MRI is the scan of choice for almost every neurologic (brain and spine) condition in people and pets, and we are thrilled to soon be able to offer this modality in both hospitals 🧠
Installing an MRI is a massive logistical operation and commissioning will take place over several weeks- follow along for updates!

When Toshka was rescued he was in poor condition and malnourished, however, his new family quickly noticed a much more serious health concern 🥺
Toshka was diagnosed with pectus excavatum, a developmental condition where the breastbone grows inwards, slowly crushing the heart and lungs ❤️🩹
Toshka had a splint applied with Dr. Shane Guerin to correct his deformity over several weeks and has made a remarkable recovery 🙌
From a tough start before his rescue to his incredible bravery during treatment, Toshka has been the purrfect patient 🐈🐾
We wish him many happy meowments ahead with his amazing family 🙏

The perfect audio doesn’t exist…
Finn had keyhole chest surgery with our soft tissue team yesterday to remove the diseased lining of his heart through tiny ports using a camera and specialised instruments❤️🩹
Finn was up and about in no time and delighted to be reunited with his family today 🙏
We always strive to minimise the impact of procedures on our patients - keyhole surgery means smaller incisions, less pain and a faster recovery 🙌
