Fitzpatrick Referrals

I’ve been through more surgeries than most dogs dream of biscuits, and each time, the amazing team at Fitzpatrick Referrals have given me not only a second chance, but also dignity, kindness, and a whole lot of love (and the occasional snack). From Professor Noël Fitzpatrick ,who somehow always found time to check on me, even late at night , to every nurse, physio and receptionist who treated me like I mattered, they’ve all been part of my journey. Even when things didn’t go perfectly, my mum and I always felt that I was in hands that cared as much about how I lived as how long I lived. That’s a rare kind of magic. Now, 16 weeks post-surgery, I’m back doing my physio and trying to remember how to use that leg properly. It’s a long road, but one filled with hope and that hope started at Fitzpatrick Referrals. If you’re a worried parent wondering whether there’s still light after heartbreak, I can tell you: there is. Sometimes it even comes with a wagging tail. 🐾💙 With love, Hermes and his deeply grateful mummy

Ended up at Fitzpatrick’s as an urgent referral for IVDD treatment for our 6 year old dachshund Reggie who underwent spinal surgery. Every aspect of the whole treatment journey has been 5*- from initial diagnosis to surgery, physio, hydrotherapy, reception team-every member of staff has been so lovely and professional and we were kept well informed at all times. I knew Reggie was in best hands and received the best treatment possible. We are now 7 weeks post surgery and he’s making a good progress. Still a way to go but I’m sure Reggie will make a full recovery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart :)

We have 'unfortunately' been referred here twice for our British Bulldog. I say unfortunately as the circumstances have been stressful, but every member of staff here are amazing. They are all experts in their fields. So knowledgeable. He had septic arthritis at 8 weeks old. He stayed with them for a week and they managed to save him from the brink of death. And then again just recently for IVDD which needed spinal surgery. The aftercare is excellent too. We've felt really supported through our dogs recovery. Moose is scared of the vets, but strangely he's happy here!
