Dr Michael Morrice has been awarded Advanced Practitioner Status in Small Animal Practice!

Dylan is a beautiful German Shepherd dog who we have been treating for a condition called ‘anal furunculosis’ . When we first saw Dylan he had a wound next to his bottom and was very tender in that area. Initially it looked as if he had an infected, burst anal gland but when this did not heal with simple treatment, biopsies confirmed that he had anal furunculosis. This is a condition most commonly seen in German Shepherds and is due to an alteration in the way the immune system works. Dylan has been treated for a prolonged period with medications to alter his immune response and whilst the road to recovery has been long, he has been making a gradual improvement. 85% of dogs with this problem will go into complete remission with medical management, but sometimes surgery is needed to help to manage it.
