The surgery fixes the joint in one position and so Angus needed to have 6 weeks cage rest after surgery – but is now doing well although we did have a battle with him to keep his bandages in place – he kept taking them off!

“We are so very grateful for all the help and kindness shown by The Veterinary Referral Centre, specifically Hannah the vet and Laura. I was beside myself with worry over our toy poodle Gucci.

We will always be thankful and appreciative of the…

Penny, the very bouncy Boxer was an overnight guest after having a severe ventricular episode at the end of October. Alex, one of radiology interns can be seen carrying out an ultrasound of her abdomen. His magic touch means that she is having this done fully conscious and without being held. Penny is now doing well and back home with her very relieved owner but the string vest is not a fashion…
