Featuring
Kiera
We meet a new patient, seven-month-old border terrier puppy Kiera, who arrives at Fitzpatrick Referrals suffering from a front leg fracture incurred after a fall. There are some remarkable parallels with the story of Noel’s own Keira, who was the centre of his world and shared his life for so many years, and so her plight has a very personal resonance for him.
View storyPoppy
Three-month-old Springer Spaniel puppy Poppy was treated by Noel in 2016 when she presented with some of the worst front leg deformities he had ever seen. Poppy was found abandoned in a garden, likely due to her deformities. Noel is faced with the challenge of finding a solution for her adopted family to give the young puppy a future and most importantly a quality of life without pain.
View storyBella
In 2018, nine-month-old Jack Russell Bella was admitted as an emergency after being injured in a freak accident, in which she fell from a carrier on dad Peter’s bike, which resulted in a badly fractured pelvis The serious fracture can’t be left without surgical intervention, but Bella will need time for her medical crisis to stabilise before any surgical repair can even be considered.
