🌴🐾 Mission Niue – success!

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who supported our fundraising for Dr. David and Nurse Ruby’s trip to Niue. Every donation makes such a difference.

The trip was a huge success with so many island animals being desexed and receiving other much-needed medical treatments.

We’re so proud of our team and can’t wait to have them back in the clinic next week! 🙌🐶🐱

Meet Vargus 🐱

A beautiful Maine C**n came to see us with a sudden onset of sore, irritated eyes. On examination, Dr Anna Goodman, who has a special interest in ophthalmology, discovered that both of Vargus’ lower eyelids were rolling inwards. This condition, known as entropion, caused the eyelid fur to rub against the surface of the eye (the cornea), leading to discomfort and, in Vargus’ case, painful corneal ulcers.

Entropion can be inherited or develop secondary to conditions like herpes virus conjunctivitis. Unfortunately, due to the constant irritation, Vargus’ ulcers weren’t able to heal on their own.

To relieve his discomfort and allow healing, Dr Goodman performed delicate corrective surgery. By removing a small section of skin, she was able to reposition the eyelids so they no longer turned inward. If you look closely at his post-op photo, you can see the fine suture lines as he healed.

We’re thrilled to report that Vargus is now back to his happy, affectionate self with clear, comfortable, sparkling eyes once again! 🎉

Five years today, our wonderful vet nurse Nicole started with Barrowman Goodman vets. She started 2 weeks before we officially opened the doors and was an absolute superstar in getting the clinic up and running. She arrived on that first day to a reception full of boxes, all sorts of equipment and machines to be unpacked and organised with only 2 weeks to do it in! Congratulations Nicole, we love having you in our Barrowman Goodman Team 🐾🥰😍
