Meet beautiful Lola!

Lola returned to Vita this week, 6 weeks after having her left radius & ulna fracture repaired by Stuart. Lola had a double-plate repair, which has fully healed and she is now back to her normal bouncy self.

👀🐾 Remember the mysterious “186” post?

Well… it currently looks slightly less “state-of-the-art specialist hospital” and slightly more “builders’ tea break” ☕🔨😅

But progress is happening every day, and we’re so excited to see the new space coming together.

This expansion will help us continue to grow Vita Referrals and support even more patients, owners, and referring practices across Yorkshire and beyond.

Can you tell what each area is going to be when it is completed?

🐾🩺 Meet Murphy — a gorgeous Boxer dog referred to Vita for management of fractures involving the radiocarpal bones within his wrist joints.

These injuries are rare and can be particularly challenging, with many dogs ultimately requiring the wrist joint to be fused in order to relieve pain and restore stability.

Fortunately, specialist surgeon Rob was able to collaborate with a human orthopaedic screw distributor to source highly specialised implants that could be completely buried within the bone. This allowed the fractures to be carefully reconstructed while preserving movement within Murphy’s wrists.

Using advanced imaging and detailed surgical planning, we were able to tailor the repair specifically to Murphy’s condition — and seeing him back up and walking comfortably is exactly why we do what we do.

Check out the 3D reconstruction showing the screw placement within the fractured bone, alongside Murphy’s progress after surgery 🧡🖤

🩺🐾 Tailored Surgery for Every Patient 🧡🖤

The other week, we treated three young dogs with tibial fractures, each presenting with a different level of complexity.

Two of these fractures were repaired using minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) through small incisions at the top and bottom of the leg— allowing stabilisation through small incisions while preserving the biology of the fracture site and promoting faster healing.

The third case required a more traditional open approach, with double plating, due to the challenge of having just 8mm of intact bone between the fracture and the ankle joint. Careful planning and precise ex*****on were essential to achieve a stable repair.

At Vita we pride ourselves in having the equipment and expertise to get your pet back on all fours as quickly and safely as possible.

🚪🐾 What’s behind 186? Growth with purpose

We’re expanding — with work now underway on our new unit opposite the original Vita Referrals building.

Since opening, we’ve been proud to offer high-quality specialist care at fair, transparent prices as an independent hospital.

It’s encouraging to see wider conversations happening across the profession, including the recent CMA report, with increasing focus on transparency and value for pet owners.

For us, this has always been at the heart of what we do — and this expansion means we can help even more patients access that level of care.

Thank you for being part of the journey 🧡🖤

We’ve officially started work on our new unit just opposite Vita Referrals.

This next step means we’ll be able to support more pets, more owners, and more referring practices, while continuing to build something we’re incredibly proud of.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us so far — we’re just getting started 🧡🖤
