Woodcroft Veterinary Referrals

This is Paddy, he was referred to the soft tissue team for a cholecystectomy.

Supporting the surgeons was the internal medicine team, who performed an ultrasound scan to confirm his diagnosis. We induced him under general anaesthetic and maintained him with isoflurane and a range of CRI’s, he was also placed on the ventilator to stabilise his breathing, making surgery easier.

We performed the cholecystectomy and took biopsy’s of his liver for analysis. We flushed his bile duct to ensure patency and closed the abdominal wound.

Paddy stayed in our hospital for two nights to monitor his recovery, he was discharged and returned five days later for a post op check and bloods. He has since been fully discharged from the hospital and is doing well, back to his normal self and enjoying playing again.
