Dog Desk Animal Action — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 14:48:50 GMT

Tina was born on the streets of Türkiye around two years ago. She had recently given birth when she & her two newborn puppies were collected by the dog catchers & taken to the shelter. Tina was luckier than most, she survived her time there but her babies didn’t. A hotbed of disease the little ones soon succumbed to the dreaded distemper & both passed a…

When The Emergency Ends, Where Does The Dog Go?

Dog Desk Animal Action — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 20:35:14 GMT

When a dog is hit by a car, we all know what should happen. Someone stops to help, a veterinary surgeon treats the injuries and, if everything goes well, the dog survives.

We like to think that is where the story ends. In reality, it is often where another problem begins.

That was exactly the situation Sue found herself in. After being hit by a car, she w…

A Mother Cat Fighting To Keep Her Kittens Alive

Anne and her kittens, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, were already known to one of our community carers before they ever came to the clinic.

The little family had developed wounds around their ears, and the carer was doing everything possible with the resources available. The wounds were being gently cleaned and treated at home, and although they would a…

Why We Chose to Give Izzy a Chance

Dog Desk Animal Action — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 15:32:27 GMT

When Izzy first arrived nobody knew whether she would survive. She had once been somebody’s dog and, while we cannot say for certain what happened afterwards, the injuries she arrived with were among the most severe we have seen. The most devastating was a deep wound to her throat, which we believe may have been caused by industrial machinery. The injur…

The Brutal Nature of Parvovirus

Dog Desk Animal Action — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 20:58:36 GMT

A Silent and Relentless Threat

Parvovirus is one of the most devastating diseases a dog can face. It does not creep in gently. It attacks with speed, violence, and little mercy, tearing through a young or unvaccinated body in a matter of days. For rescuers and veterinarians, it is a familiar enemy. For the dogs who suffer it, it is a brutal fight for sur…

Safe at Last - Sven’s Road to Recovery

Dog Desk Animal Action — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 00:35:36 GMT

Sven had a wound on his rump that stopped us cold.

Large. Raw. Angry. The sort of injury that makes you wonder how a dog could possibly keep walking.

It must have rubbed with every step. Pulled when he lay down. Burned constantly. And yet somehow, this boy had carried on navigating the streets with it, because street dogs don’t get to stop and rest.

When h…

Patients Who Carry a Lifetime of Hardship

When our patients arrive at the clinic, they rarely come with a single, isolated problem. These are animals born and raised on the streets, exposed to disease, hunger, violence, and neglect from the moment they take their first breath. By the time they reach us, they often carry a lifetime of suffering in their s…

Oliver’s Story: A Brave Little Kangal Puppy Survives a Hit & Run

Dog Desk Animal Action — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 13:43:58 GMT

When Oliver was found, he was just a tiny Kangal puppy facing a world of pain and fear. At only a few months old, his life should have been filled with play, discovery, and comfort. Instead, Oliver became the victim of a cruel hit and run – struck by a vehicle and left alone on the roadside.

The accident left Oliver with three broken bones. The pain was …

Sally’s Second Chance: Walking Towards a Pain‑Free Life

Dog Desk Animal Action — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 16:16:15 GMT

Sally arrived with a quiet bravery that hid just how much she’d been coping with. An old ankle fracture had fused in the wrong position, and she was born with a painful hip defect.

Cedric’s Story: A Scary Start, Then Growing Pains

Dog Desk Animal Action — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 15:23:24 GMT

Cedric arrived with us as a puppy through our Free Healthcare for Vulnerable Dogs programme. He’d been trying to survive on whatever he could find. That desperation led him to swallow something that wasn’t food. The result was frightening: a rectal prolapse.

Our team moved quickly to stabilise him, protect the exposed tissue, remove necrotic tissue, cont…

AL’s Road to Recovery: Beating Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, and Dental Pain

Dog Desk Animal Action — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 15:05:23 GMT

When AL Arrived

AL came into our care exhausted and in pain.

He was battling on multiple fronts: anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis (both tick-borne infections), alongside painful dental abscesses that made eating a daily struggle.

It was clear he’d been coping with discomfort for far too long, and he needed calm, consistent care to have a chance at recovery.
