Fitzpatrick The Supervet

Today Prince went back to Fitzpatrick Referrals Animal Hospital, home to the Supervet, just outside Guildford - this time to be assessed by the physio. Although he was very anxious in reception he really liked the physiotherapist. He had some laser treatment on his spine which is a bit like ultra sound, and we have some exercises for him to start doing. The big decision is still whether to put him through surgery with the potential benefits and  risks, or to go with physio, a course of steroids, and a long period of rest. Whatever the decision I think Prince will be getting used to this place, and I might even learn where the poorly marked speed humps are eventually! After his rather eventful day Prince is now sound asleep x

Fitzpatrick Referrals Animal Hospital

During the last two days Storm has been assessed and treated at the state-of-the-art Fitzpatrick Referrals Animal Hospital in Guildford. With the cancer having returned last weekend, the treatment she has been on for the last four months is no longer effective, and so she now requires more specialized treatment. She has had blood tests, x-rays, biopsies and an ultrasound scan as well as her first dose of a more potent chemotherapy. She has come through it all really well and is still very perky. She loved the hospital, and in fact it was quite a job persuading her that it was time to come home tonight. She will return to the hospital in two weeks for her next session of chemotherapy. Just keeping everything crossed that the treatment is effective and successful...
