Meet Rosie-Beryl, a sweet 6-year-old cockapoo with a heart full of love. ❤️

During a routine groom, Rosie’s groomer noticed some unusual swellings. Her owner wisely decided to investigate further — and these swellings were found to be enlarged lymph nodes. To determine the cause, fine needle aspirates were performed.

Sadly, the results revealed that Rosie had large B-cell lymphoma, the most common and aggressive form of cancer in dogs.

Rosie has since started regular chemotherapy treatments under the care of certificate holder in medicine - Dr. Cassie Kilty, and she has been an absolute star throughout. 🌟

We’re so proud of her strength and resilience — and we’re sending all the love and support to Rosie and her family. 💛🐶

Just a little update to make our neighbouring practices aware we have just made a significant investment in updating our foreign body retrieval tools and biopsies equipment as part of our endoscopy suite.🤩

If anyone has any cases requiring these kinds of interventions we are happily receiving referrals. Please feel free to email or phone.📞

This is a minimally invasive and very effective option for treatment of foreign body ingestion or diagnostic tool for animals requiring investigation of gastrointestinal symptoms.

With a little pic of Egg because he’s cute🤍

Lovely little Daisy 🤍

Sweet Daisy visited us last week for TPLO surgery (tibial plateau levelling osteotomy) to help improve her comfort and mobility. Daisy is known well as she belongs to the mum of one of our orthopaedic nurses Danielle💕

The surgery was expertly performed by our orthopaedic surgeon Christian, with Daisy carefully monitored throughout her anaesthetic by Danielle 🐾

After a short stay in hospital, Daisy recovered well and was comfortable enough to head home with strict rest instructions and plenty of much-needed TLC from her owner.

We wish Daisy a smooth and speedy recovery and can’t wait to see her progress over the coming weeks 🌼✨

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 – Louise 👋🐶

Louise qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2024 after completing her veterinary nursing diploma in Cardiff. She has been part of the veterinary industry for 9 years, having previously worked on reception before starting her diploma.

After qualifying, Louise moved down to Cornwall and joined the Penmellyn team in 2024. She initially joined us as a rota nurse before becoming a valued member of our orthopaedic team early last year.

Louise enjoys all aspects of veterinary nursing but especially loves being involved in patient recovery and seeing the progress our patients make during their time with us.

Outside of work, Louise has a Cavapoo called Gus and enjoys spending her spare time exploring Cornwall on long walks with him 🐾💙

The adorable Snoop was rushed in to us on Saturday after suddenly losing the use of his back legs 💔

He had a CT scan that afternoon, followed by spinal surgery (a right-sided hemilaminectomy) performed the very same day by Christian Marchant, advanced practitioner in small animal surgery 🩺✨

Thanks to his owners’ speedy action and prompt surgery, Snoop was trotting back home by Wednesday 🐕💨

He was an absolute joy to look after and completely stole the hearts of everyone he met.
Go Snoop! 🌟💙

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 🐶✨
