Massive congratulations to Dr. Katerina Rysaki on her superb article featured in the June edition of the Veterinary Ireland Journal 🇮🇪📖

It’s a double celebration as Katerina also begins her ECVS surgery residency training here at Veterinary Specialists Ireland! 🙌

Becoming an EBVS Specialist is a major commitment, requiring 4–5 years of intensive, hands-on training under the supervision of board-certified Specialists, combined with scientific research, lectures, seminars, and a rigorous final examination.

Only those who complete every element of this demanding programme can earn the title Specialist—a guarantee of advanced expertise and exceptional care

We’re proud to offer Ireland’s only private practice small animal residency training programme—and even prouder to welcome Katerina to the team! 🇮🇪🇬🇷

Erin and Laura certified no less than 26 Teddy Bear First Aiders at Margaret’s Montessori today 🙌🧸⛑️

From bandaging broken bears to examining X-rays and extracting toy cars from sore teddy tummies, it was an action-packed morning 🩹🚗

Many vets and vet nurses know from an incredibly young age that helping animals will be their passion and calling 🐾

Veterinary is a career that tests your heart as much as your head — every day demands your best, full of challenges, joy, and heartache
We love what we do and we do it for them - we simply could not do it otherwise ❤️

Here’s to inspiring the next generation of animal heroes! 🙌

🌟Cian has won Student Veterinary Nurse of the Year 🥳 🌟

A massive congratulations to Cian Duffy on this prestigious and very well deserved award, announced at the IVNA Congress this past weekend 👏👏👏

Cian hails from Summerhill and began his career as a patient care assistant at Veterinary Specialists Ireland 🏥

Cian started the veterinary nursing programme in Cork last year and has become an invaluable team member in both Meath and Cork hospitals, so much so that head nurses and mentors Olivia and Mairead occasionally throw down over his schedule 😂

We are so proud of Cian's achievement and outstanding career progression - the future is incredibly bright indeed 🙌

Bryce gave the biggest hugs after his platelet-rich plasma injection 🥰

Bryce injured a tendon to a back toe several weeks ago, leaving his toe stuck in a abnormal position

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) was made from Bryce's blood, concentrating healing growth factors into a small aliquot that was injected directly into the damaged tendon 💉

Bryce was a toe-tally awesome patient, showing an excellent response to his first injection, and a second injection was performed to help complete healing 🙌

Whilst not a 'cure-all', regenerative medicine using platelet-rich plasma and/or stem cells to help the body heal can be very useful in some orthopaedic conditions, including arthritis and damaged tendons and ligaments
