🎤 Keynote Spotlight: Matt Gurney at IAAHPC 2025 🇺🇸

In September, Matt Gurney was honoured to deliver the keynote lecture at the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care in Louisville, Kentucky.

His talk 'A Zero Pain Approach to Hospice and Palliative Care' was warmly received by an audience of dedicated veterinary professionals, all committed to improving comfort and quality of life for animals in the final stages of their lives.

This inspiring session highlighted the importance of compassionate, pain-free care - a philosophy Matt continues to champion through education and clinical practice.

Expansion of Eastcott Neurology Team

As we approach the end of the year we have exciting news about our neurology service at Eastcott. The team has expanded further and now includes four RCVS-registered specialist neurologists in addition to three nurses, a neurology intern and a neurology technician.

The team work closely with our anaesthesia, physiotherapy, ECC services, and the other referral services at Eastcott to investigate and treat brain, spinal and neuromuscular disorders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have outstanding facilities and the state-of-the-art equipment including high-field MRI, CT and a purpose-built neurodiagnostics suite. We aim to provide the best care for pets and owners and to minimise unnecessary costs with our affordable fixed-price packages.

To support cats with neurological problems we also offer a feline neurology clinic. We also run an epilepsy clinic that offers specialised appointments with ongoing phone support for epileptic pets, and fixed-price ‘Tier 3’ investigations to ensure the highest diagnostic confidence.

Honouring All Who Served - Human and Animal 💜

Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served in conflict - and that includes the animals who stood alongside them.

Horses, dogs, donkeys, and pigeons played vital roles in transport, communication and companionship. Millions of these animals gave their lives in service, often showing extraordinary bravery and loyalty.

To honour their contribution, the purple poppy is worn alongside the traditional red poppy. It serves as a symbol of remembrance for the animals who served and suffered in war.

🌍 Sustainability in Veterinary Anaesthesia - A Global Effort

In September, Dr Tristan Merlin, Anaesthesia Specialist at Eastcott Referrals, played a key role as part of the organising committee for the World Congress of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia in Paris.

Organising a global congress is no small task, and Tristan and the team delivered an incredible event - with a strong focus on sustainability in anaesthesia. Key lectures explored innovations such as anaesthetic gas recovery, a technology we’re excited to be introducing at Eastcott in the coming months.

We’re proud to support initiatives that improve patient care while reducing environmental impact.

Share some love for ten-year-old Oscar 🐱

Oscar was referred to the Eastcott Physiotherapy team following some weakness and mobility issues caused by osteoarthritis in his back legs.

Six months prior to his consult, his owner had noticed some changes at home such as reluctance to jump on and off furniture, struggling to use the stairs and that he was sleeping more. During his assessment, we were able to target areas of weakness to improve his general mobility and strength by various manual therapies and laser therapy treatment. Oscar now has an at-home physiotherapy programme to follow which includes remedial exercises to help strengthen his back legs and target any muscular compensations he may develop.

💬 Oscar's owner said: "After four months of treatment, he is physically stronger and much more comfortable. He enjoys his sessions with Hannah, and she does a great job of making him feel safe and relaxed."

Keep up the great progress, Oscar! 🐾

Complex machines need clever people to run them! Nick Taylor is our radiographer who runs our MRI & CT scanners.
Nick was recently invited to present to a group of MRI experts in Birmingham on the challenges presented by our patients! Think about the difference in size of various humans and then compare that to what we scan on a daily basis - it could be anything from a kitten to a Great Dane! Nick and the team have experience with all patient sizes and use their skills to gain the best images!

World Arthritis Day!

Arthritis isn’t just a disease of old age, it can affect dogs and cats of all ages.

Slowing down, changes in behaviour, or struggling with walks or jumps can all be signs of arthritis, not just “getting older”.

At Eastcott Referrals, our teams of orthopaedic specialists, pain specialists, and veterinary physiotherapists work together with one goal: to reduce the pain of arthritis and help pets stay active, happy, and comfortable.

🐾 Meet Koji, an 8-month-old Maine C**n who suddenly became very unwell with a serious balance problem.

He was seen by Tom Shaw, our Veterinary Neurology Specialist, through the out-of-hours neurology service. An emergency MRI revealed feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) affecting his brain, a condition that was once almost always fatal.

Thanks to the life-saving antiviral medication remdesivir, Koji was treated immediately and spent 10 days in our ICU. Day by day, he began eating on his own and showing signs of improvement.

Six months later, Koji has made a full recovery and is back to a happy, normal life. His journey is a wonderful example of how expert care and modern treatments can give even the sickest cats a second chance.
