Crown Vets Referrals

Wee Penny, looks beautiful in our CVR recovery shirt after her laparoscopic spay! This is an excellent alternative to the cone of shame 😂 More comfortable and easier for the dog to move around. Just ask when you drop off or collect your dog.

Saying bye to little Willow after her lap spay today. She’s off home with one of our CVR shirts. Doesn’t she look gorgeous!

Koda went home yesterday after his TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) a surgical repair procedure for cruciate ligament disease or cruciate injuries. He missed his mum a lot being away from her, it was lovely reuniting them! #cvr #crownvetsreferrals #referralcentre #northofscotland

Just said goodbye to this little cutie. Daisy left happy after her laparoscopic spay wearing her CVR recovery shirt! #daisy #beardie #beardedcollie #keyholesurgery #lapspay #cvr #crownvetsreferrals

Meet Reuben, he was in for arthroscopy yesterday. He has Elbow dysplasia so arthroscopy helps removes the broken bones that cause pain. We wish you well Reuben and you will be back to work as a therapy pet in a few weeks. #crownvetsreferrals

Thank you for all your support over the last year!

Finlay was first referred to us for a CT scan back in June this year which confirmed bilateral coronoid disease meaning elbow dysplasia. Treatment for this is called arthroscopy, which means placing a camera into the joint via a keyhole procedure and smoothing off the irregular structures to relieve the problem. Due to ongoing lameness in his right foreleg, Finlay was re-admitted for another CT followed by a second arthroscopy. This is extremely rare however Finlay is doing well again. He stole many hearts with those eyes within Crown Vets.

Do you know if your pet is ideal weight or overweight??
Having an ideal weight helps reduce joint issues and increase the chances of a successful recovery.
1/3 pets are overweight! ... The sad fact is we see so many OBESE pets that when we see a ideal weight often the owners are told that they are skinny!
Using a light touch you should be able to feel the ribs, see the waist and see an abdomen tuck.
Come in to see one of our nurses and let us help you achieve an ideal weight with small maintainable changes.

Lady Duckie was in CVR for an examination this morning. She belongs to our nurse Steph. Sassy is her middle name. #duck #duckie #crownvetsreferrals #crownvetsinverness #inverness #scotland #northofscotland

Wee Sally was a bilateral TTA which means both her legs were operated on at the same time. This is rare however in her best interest. With an ideal body condition score recovery should be straight forward with reduced strain on her joints. Get well soon Sally. We enjoyed meeting your cuddly toys to help you feel at home when with us. 💙

Daisy was a little wriggle bum and extremely difficult to photograph as she just wanted tummie rubs. She was extremely friendly and we wish her all the best after her TTA prodcedure. 💙

Tara was in to see us for post op radiographs. This happens 4-6 weeks after the procedure to ensure everything is healing correctly. We were glad to see Tara doing extremely well and have now discharged her. Those puppy dog eyes 💙

Alfie was so happy after his corrective patella procedure that he was head butting our nurse Steph for cuddles 😻 Get well soon Alfie!

Meet Leo, this gorgeous boy came into see us for a procedure called a Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA). His owners informed us that he can be a bit grumpy however he was nothing but a gentlemen when he was with us! Thank you Leo, Get well soon!
