An unusual thank you…
We love hearing from patients after they are discharged from treatment and are always delighted to receive a message or even a photo (especially a back-in-action shot!). We like to keep them all in our ‘Hall of Fame’ at the Centre to help make others aware of the assistance that can be given to ill or […]
Rolling with Sasha
Meet Sasha…… Sasha is an older dog who has a problem called CDRM. The nerves in her spine are degenerating, making her lose control of her back legs gradually. She can’t be entirely sure where her feet are, which makes walking difficult, and her legs aren’t strong like they used to be. Sasha needs help […]
New Year’s Resolutions?
It’s that time of the year again….. gyms, swimming pools and cycle paths all over the country are full of people determined that 2012 will be the year they get fit, lose weight and make new friends through exercising regularly. Rather depressingly though, it’s not always just the humans who need some tuning up and […]
Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!
New Year is traditionally a time of fresh starts and well intentioned resolutions…. so everyone at ARC would like to wish all of our friends and followers the very best for their 2012 plans. Canine, human, equine, feline and everyone else furred, feathered or scaly, we hope the New Year sees you out and about, […]
Learning about pain
One of the best things about being involved in a new and rapidly expanding area of veterinary medicine is the opportunity to get involved in discoveries at the forefront of the field and try to answer some of the new questions that our expanding knowledge creates. I recently had the privilege of attending a course […]
It’s ‘unofficial’ ultrasound week at ARC…
You know what they say about buses- wait a little while and then three arrive all at once? We’ve had a week a little bit like that at ARC, and our therapeutic ultrasound machine has been very busy. First of all we had a new equine patient. Tendon injuries are relatively common in horses, and […]
It’s Athletics season!
For those of you who’ve been glued to the World Athletics Championships for humans in Daegu, here’s your chance to meet one of our canine competitors. Farley is an agility star with an unusual story to tell….. To save his life from a horrible cancer, Farley had massive surgery to remove the tumour and the […]
Another happy patient!
Everyone likes getting a real letter, especially since they’re practically an endangered species these days! We were delighted to receive a letter from the owner of one of our recently signed-off patients Emmy just the other day, and we’ve posted it on our testimonials page for everyone to read. We couldn’t resist sharing this picture […]
Charity Car Wash day!
Now nobody at ARC is implying that any of friends’s cars are neglected, but we sure do know what a wet and muddy dog walk can do to a vehicle! Well, for once, we can help you with that…. the intrepid vets and nurses from our sister branch at Thongsbridge are taking part in the […]
Fun for all at the ARC Open Day
Sunday turned out a scorcher after all- perfect bouncy castle weather! We had fun welcoming visitors old and young, human and canine to our Open Day. There were fabulous cupcakes on hand to refuel the neurons after touring the rehab displays and demos as well as games of luck and of budding veterinary skill. Several humans as […]
