Meet Lily the Staffy 🐾
Lily recently visited us for a laparoscopic spay ✨

This minimally invasive procedure uses small incisions and a camera to perform surgery, resulting in less discomfort, reduced pain, and a quicker recovery compared to a traditional spay.

Thanks to this technique, Lily was able to get back to her happy, tail-wagging self much sooner 💕🐶

𝗟𝗼𝗸𝗶 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿! 🌟

The very handsome 𝗟𝗼𝗸𝗶 was referred to us by 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗩𝗲𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 after a lump appeared on his right thigh. Fine needle aspirates confirmed it to be a type of 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗿, in this instance, a subcutaneous skin tumour that required prompt treatment.

Loki was referred to us for a 𝗖𝗧 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻 to check whether the tumour had spread. Thankfully this came back clear, allowing us to proceed with surgery. The tumour was successfully removed by 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱, with 2cm margins of surrounding tissue taken to ensure complete removal.

Due to the tight skin on the thigh and the size of the margins, Loki had a longer recovery period while the wound healed. Throughout his treatment, 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 and never put up a fuss despite his regular visits. His owners have also been incredibly dedicated, supporting him every step of the way.

We’re delighted to say Loki has now been given the ⭐️ 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥 ⭐️ and can start gradually returning to normal exercise 🐶✨

Meet little Milo! 🐾 At just 6 months old, this brave pup sustained a greenstick fracture to his left tibia. 🦴

After an x-ray confirmed the injury, Christian and our highly skilled orthopaedic team quickly took him into surgery, where he received the expert treatment he needed, consisting of locking plates and screws.

Thanks to strict cage rest at home and plenty of love, Milo is now back to his happy, playful puppy self. His owners say it’s as if nothing ever happened — the best outcome we could hope for. 💛✨
