In‑house training at Eastcott 🩺🐾

Our vets are constantly updating their skills to ensure we deliver the safest, most effective care for your pets. This week, our team refreshed their CPR knowledge using the latest RECOVER guidelines — the gold standard for evidence‑based cardiopulmonary resuscitation in dogs and cats.

In this photo, Nini, one of our brilliant anaesthesia nurses, is leading the session and guiding our vets through the most up‑to‑date techniques. Continuous training like this keeps our team confident, prepared, and always ready to act when it matters most.

Recently, one of our referring practices contacted us to discuss a particularly challenging canine patient of theirs.
Luna is a very worried elderly little dog, whose heart is affected by mitral valve disease (a common canine cardiac disease), and she was in need of a comprehensive dental assessment and treatment. Due to her age, and her heart disease, our colleagues at Clapham Vets sought the combined advice of our Cardiology and Anaesthesia department to try and manage her specific needs as best as possible. Anaesthetising geriatric patients who suffer from a concurrent heart disease is no small feat, and a tailored plan was required to ensure the best possible outcome for Luna.
After careful consideration, and a review of her specific history, our anaesthesia team was able to provide detailed advice for Luna's primary care vets who remained in charge of her dental care.
We were very happy to hear that following our advice, Luna did extremely well and recovered uneventfully from her dental treatment.

We understand that it is not always possible or appropriate to refer every single case to us, and we always happily receive advice enquiries from Primary Care partners so that together we achieve what matters most to us all, a Better World for Pets.

Ana Gonzalez, one of our dedicated anaesthetists, has successfully passed her exams and is now a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (ECVAA). 🌟
This milestone comes after three years of residency training and two years of rigorous exam preparation — a true testament to Ana’s hard work, perseverance, and passion for veterinary anaesthesia.
Ana is not only an anaesthetist; she is also the Anaesthesia Champion for the Green Team and the Patient Safety Team, driving excellence and innovation across our practice.
With Ana’s success, the Eastcott team now proudly counts four Diplomates, representing the highest level of specialisation in veterinary anaesthesia. 🐾💙

Anaesthesia Specialist Tristan Merlin was recently invited to speak to the Veterinary Cardiology Society at their annual meeting.

Tristan covered topics on anaesthesia for the cardiac patient, bringing this group of cardiologists up to speed on the latest considerations that anaesthetists have when faced with a challenging cardiac case.

It was a fascinating meeting and we were delighted to have taken part - great work, Tristan!

🌟 Lola’s Incredible Comeback! 🌟
Meet Lola, an 11-year-old Chihuahua who’s living life to the fullest after overcoming a major spinal challenge.
When Lola started struggling with her hind limbs, she was referred to our neurology team at Eastcott Referrals. An MRI revealed three protruding discs compressing her spinal cord – a rare and complex case.
After careful planning with our anaesthesia and imaging teams, Lola underwent a triple corpectomy – a procedure usually performed on just one disc! Thanks to advanced equipment and the skill of our specialists, the surgery was a success.
Six months later, Lola is thriving, energetic, and back to her happy self. 💕
Tom Shaw, RCVS-recognised specialist in neurology, said:
“A triple corpectomy on such a tiny patient is a considerable challenge, but restoring Lola’s quality of life was truly rewarding.”
👏 Huge thanks to our incredible team and Lola’s dedicated owner for trusting us with her care!

💓 Spotlight on cardiology!

Heart murmurs are commonly found in young puppies. While some are harmless and disappear as they grow, others may indicate congenital heart disease. Detecting these early through a cardiology examination can make a huge difference in your pet’s health and long-term prognosis.

One of the most important things you can do for your new companion is to schedule a complete veterinary health check. Early examinations help ensure your pet is healthy and allow for the early detection of congenital conditions.

At Eastcott Referrals, our cardiology team offers a range of minimally invasive procedures to treat or improve the outlook for many congenital heart conditions — helping your pets live happier, healthier lives. 💖
