DOODLE'S DRAMA A DOODLE FOR KENTDALE VETS

A charity fundraiser has ensured a 10week-old Doodle puppy that couldn’t stop spending a penny was able to undergo life-changing surgery.

Ten-week-old puppy Faith was born with a urinary defect which meant she had been incontinent since birth.

The DoodleAid charity heard about her wee problem and launched a fund-raising page to pay for Faith’s life-changing surgery at Kentdale Referrals.

Jan Beranek, our highly-experienced EBVS European Specialist in Small Animal Surgery, operated successfully to solve Faith’s problem.

Jan explained: “Faith had been suffering from urinary incontinence since birth, so we carried out a CT scan and urography to diagnose the problem. The results confirmed she had a congenital condition called ‘bilateral intramural ectopic ureters’.

“I carried out abdominal surgery, including a ventral cystotomy, proximal urethrotomy and split division of the ectopic ureters to rectify the problem. Imaging and surgery took a total of three hours. Faith made a good recovery and was only hospitalised with us for 24 hours.

“At her six-week post-operative check and her foster carer advised us that Faith was fully continent immediately after surgery and they were really pleased with the outcome.”

The fund-raisers at DoodleAid were equally delighted they had helped to make such a difference with their generous donation.

DoodleAid trustees Caroline King and Karen Harvey gave a glowing testimonial for the Kentdale team when they thanked all those who had donated, saying: “Faith is a very lucky little puppy as we managed to find a fantastic Vets in Kentdale Referrals.

“Jan and his team performed a total miracle on such a small puppy and DoodleAid will be forever grateful for all the care, and love Faith was shown whilst in their hospital.

“Faith now has the chance in life to blossom into adulthood, all because this wonderful animal hospital gave her the chance she so deserved. We thank you all. The best news of all is that her foster carer Chris Heath has now adopted Faith and given her a forever home. She is doing great and is in fabulous health thanks to everyone involved. Chris adopted another dog from us many years ago, a little poodle-cross called Gizmo, and Faith and Gizmo are now the best of friends.”

Testimonials

  • There’s never a problem speaking to our lovely receptionists at Kentdale Vets to book an appointment; my little girl would not be with us now without Jan, her surgeon and the brilliant nurses that looked after her.

    Stephen – Nancy’s owner

  • If I could give a higher score, I would! This being our second referral, it has felt like coming home, and to feel that when we arrive with major trauma to our dog is wonderful. Immediately we were in smiley, reassuring, safe arms again, and our crisis rapidly disappeared. The immediate welcome from the reception staff to Kirstie, amazing Joe and even the reassuring and friendly night nursing staff all let us know our precious boy was in very safe hands. Can't speak highly enough - and this is a consistent standard.
