⭐️Patient Spotlight⭐️

This is the lovely Pepper, who came to see our specialist Ben in September.

She had a right partial tarsal arthrodesis and stabilisation surgery for grade 3 patellar luxation and stayed overnight in the hospital to recover after her general anaesthetic. She was able to return home the next day and has been doing well so far.

We look forward to seeing Pepper again for her post operative checks, she is such a lovely smiley girl. We wish her and her family all the best in her rehabilitation journey. ❤️

Thank you to Stanley House Veterinary Group for referring Pepper to us 😊

Current and predicted high temperatures in the uk over the coming months can make it difficult to keep your dog cool or plan regular walks. 🌡️🔆 Dogs should preferably be walked during cooler times of day, such as early morning or evening. If this is not possible, it is better to skip a walk than put them at risk of overheating. Be especially mindful of the temperature of tarmac during truly hot spells, as this can blister footpads. Always take water with you on walks 💧 🍃🌾🌻

Pets that are very young, very old or overweight are likely to find it harder to control their body temperature.
Dogs that have short faces (known as brachycephalic) are at a significantly increased risk of heat related problems. This includes breeds such as Pugs, Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, Boxers and Dogue de Bordeauxs. Their anatomy makes it harder for them to cool themselves down, and the added stress makes the problem worse. Often, these dogs already find it harder to exercise, and warm weather can push them quickly past their coping point. 🚫🆘

Signs that should raise concern of heat stress include:
* Heavy panting
* Excessive salivation
* Rapid heart/pulse rate
* Very red gums and/or tongue
* Lethargy
If your pet shows any of these signs, they should be moved to a cool area and offered plenty of water to drink.

Pets that are severely affected and develop heat stroke may go on to show:
* Vomiting and diarrhoea
* Lack of coordination
* Reluctance or inability to stand
* Loss of consciousness

‼️These signs require immediate veterinary attention; heat stroke is an emergency and can prove rapidly fatal.‼️

Please help us keep your pets safe this summer. 🐾

💦✨Cooling off in style✨💦

Mutley aka Peter or Peanut (as his owners lovingly call him), living a pain free life after his bilateral total hip replacements, snoozing in his paddling pool. ☀️ 🏊
 
Mutley first attended MVS in august 2025 with severe hip dysplasia and a left hip luxation. He underwent a left total hip replacement in September 2025 to address the dislocation and returned in February of this year for his right total hip replacement. He has recovered smoothly with positive changes in his temperament seen along the way, now that he is relieved from his prior discomfort. We wish him all the best! Thankyou to Mutley’s owners for the lovely update and videos ☺️🥲

🔈🔔Episode 2: Cruciate Disease in Dogs – Ben Keeley from Manchester Veterinary Specialists joins the hosts to discuss cruciate disease and modern veterinary applications. 🔔🔈

Pelvic limb lameness is a staple of veterinary practice, yet identifying the subtle difference between normal and a significant surgical pathology can be a clinical challenge. In this episode, Ben Keeley, Orthopaedic Surgeon and Clinical Director at Manchester Veterinary Specialists, joins the podcast to provide a masterclass in orthopaedic assessment.
Ben challenges the traditional view of Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) rupture as a purely traumatic event, exploring why it is actually a chronic, benign degenerative process. Ben shares practical tips for the consultation room - from using “black box” muscle mass palpation to determine chronicity, to why dropping the head acts as a “pivot on a seesaw” to offload painful hind limbs. The discussion covers the clinical indications for TPLO and TTA over traditional lateral suture techniques, the nuances of radiographic positioning, and why modern human-medicine-inspired “rapid rehab” is replacing 12-week crate rest. No matter where you are in your career journey this episode is packed with orthopaedic goodies to assist you in day to day practice.
