For Eye Health Week we’re focusing on some clinical ocular conundrums! 👀

This is a protrusion in a layer of the cornea, known as a Descemetocoele. Surgery can be necessary to repair the damaged cornea and prevent further complications like rupture of the eye’s membranes.

In these images you can see the progress made following successful surgery. The second picture shows the dog is able to fully open his eye and is nearly completely healed. ❤️

Our Ophthalmology team are experienced with managing surgical ocular conditions and are supported by a specialist anaesthesia team to ensure optimal anaesthetic management.

It is Eye Health Week, so we’re shining a light on some of our Ophthalmology cases. 👀

This abnormality was found on a routine eye exam of a seven-year-old Boston Terrier. The dog suffered from Incipient Anterior Subcapsular Cataract, which is usually inherited in this breed. Some will progress to cause significant visual defects but some of these cataracts will stay at this stage.

As cataracts can exist with other vision abnormalities, a full eye examination and testing should be carried out as it is quite likely the other lens may also be affected. The cataracts should also be monitored to ensure it does not progress.

Our ophthalmology team is led by European Specialist, Dr Katherine Manchip. Click here for more information about our Ophthalmology service >> www.eastcottreferrals.co.uk/our-team/ophthalmology/

Say hi to our Soft Tissue Surgery Specialist Andy Beer. 👋

Andy graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2015 before working in general practice in Devon for two years. He then undertook a rotating internship at the Royal Veterinary College in London.

Andy completed a Residency in Small Animal Surgery in 2023 before working at Dick White Referrals. He then moved back to the Southwest and joined us at Eastcott!

Andy successfully passed his ECVS board examinations earlier this year to achieve specialist status. Andy enjoys all aspects of soft tissue surgery, but particularly thoracic and abdominal surgery.

In his spare time, he is kept busy by his Hungarian Vizsla Norman! 🐕

How old do you think Kiwi looks?

She may look like a spring chicken but Kiwi is 16 years old, much older than the average life expectancy of 12 years for cats. 🐱

Like us all, Kiwi has slowed down with age. A few years ago she underwent x-rays which identified changes in the bones of her spine which could explain why she was struggling to jump up.

At that stage, Kiwi’s caregivers implemented some changes around the house to help her mobility, including steps to allow her to still get to her favourite places. ❤️

Environmental and lifestyle adaptations are just as important as pain medication in managing cats such as Kiwi and are part of the approach we take in pain management. Great considerations to be thinking about in Animal Pain Awareness Month.

during Animal Pain Awareness Month

Beautiful Bella is a German Shepherd who underwent a total hip replacement with our Specialist Surgeons Duncan Barnes and Ellie Lederer. 🐶

After her surgery, our Veterinary Physiotherapy team worked with Bella and her care-giver to provide a bespoke rehabilitation plan. As part of the plan, we worked on her pain management with our Pain Specialists, Mar Diaz Arias and Matt Gurney.

Bella attends the pain clinic on a regular basis for acupuncture which helps address muscle tension and keeps Bella’s rehab on track.

Our Pain Clinic is open to referrals from vet professionals looking for pain management solutions for dogs and cats.

Five-month-old Vizsla, Dexter, was referred to our Cardiology department to investigate a heart murmur that was picked up by his primary care vet during his first vaccine visit. 🐕

A Persistent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) was diagnosed, which is a congenital heart defect in which a blood vessel fails to close and leads to abnormal blood flow. A non-invasive occlusion was scheduled and was a joint effort between our Anaesthesia and Cardiology teams,. It consisted of placing a small device in the affected area to close the vessel.

We are pleased to report Dexter is now home and doing well. 🫶
