Special pets

Rogie the dog

Rogie Hughes

Rogie first developed cancer in May 2004.He bravely decided to try a new type of chemotherapy and took all the treatment in his stride.He then had 3 1/2 fantastic years which he enjoyed to the full and set new trends in fetching headgear! He was a tremendous character who will be missed at Smithy House.

Basil the dog

Basil Brown

This is Basil Brown, a very special dog. He has had severe heart and prostate disease for years, but he still comes in to Taylor Veterinary Practice wagging his tail and is a perfect patient. He is pretty frail but his secret is an amazing spirit and joy of life (and a few tablets).

Beth the dog

Beth Campbell

This is Beth Campbell, a truly amazing dog. Despite having two artificial hip joints and an underactive thyroid she still remains full of the joys of life. She is a pleasure to treat and all the staff at Taylor Veterinary Practice know her well.

Dente the dog

Dente McAnally

Hi I'm Dente. I have had a problem for almost 2 years now that everyone seems really concerned about but I don't really care. As long as I have my mistress and my long lies I feel I can tackle anything. OK I admit I am slowing down a bit but I reckon I can still show those young dogs in Carmunnock a thing or two!

Benson the dog

Benson Young

This is Benson Young. He is an ex guide dog with a terrific attitude. Despite serious lung problems over the years he is always full of beans and loves life. He barges into our consulting rooms looking for any food he can find and always manages to light up my day. I am amazed and delighted that he is still going strong.

Seve the dog

Seve

Seve is the bionic dog of the practice. He suddenly became very ill and his owners incredibly drove through the night in the worst snow storms for years to have an electronic pacemaker fitted. He is now doing well and neither his or his owners hearts are now missing a beat!

Barney

“At long last I can forward you photos of Barney. The pictures are of him on his holidays, enjoying a saunter. His quality of life has improved hugely since his operation. The trachaeostomy has not bothered him in any way beyond keeping an eye out for infection. He particularly likes it when it's blustery weather, the gusts of fresh air seem to energise him and he becomes quite skittish for a fifteen year old! I can't thank you enough for recognising his spirit to live and for taking on the challenge of doing the operation.”
