Meet Skye! Skye was diagnosed with high grade B cell lymphoma affecting her peripheral lymph glands back in April. We provided her with a 25-week course of chemotherapy. Skye achieved complete remission very quickly and tolerated chemotherapy without any side effects, having a great quality of life throughout the course. Even though it is possible that her lymphoma may return in the future, we are overjoyed that she is living her best life now. #teamblaise

Jasper is a very handsome cocker spaniel that sadly got hit by a car and was referred to Blaise as an emergency. The vehicle’s wheels went over his right hind paw. The bones of his paw remained intact, however the soft tissues of the paw were severely damaged. At one point Lara Dempsey, the soft tissue specialist surgeon thought that the limb may need amputating due to the extent of the injury. However, after 3 months of managing his wounds and applying dressings, the limb was saved which was also due to his dedicated owners. Jasper was very brave coming into the hospital and had to have multiple sedations for his dressings and treatment during the three months. Our dedicated specialist anaesthesia team work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure safe sedations and general anaesthetics to our patients and are heavily involved in formulating pain management plans. In Jasper’s case appropriate sedation plans were essential due to the extended period of time of his treatment. Jasper, as you can see from the photo was still on friendly terms with the anaesthetists Daisy Norgate and Sandra Sanchis-Mora and soft tissue surgeon Lara Dempsey at his final check-up appointment. He is now off the lead running around and we are so pleased he is enjoying life with all four limbs.

Meet Winnie, although she showed no signs of illness, a routine check-up revealed she had a heart murmur. The cardiology team here at Blaise Referrals discovered that she had a serious condition called PDA (patent ductus arteriosus), which is life-threatening. Thankfully, they were able to perform a minimally invasive procedure, and Winnie handled it like a champ! She’s now home, fully recovered, and is expected to live a happy, healthy life with no limitations. #WeAreBlaise
