VINNIEֱS STORY

        Stuart and the family now feed Vinnie
        smaller meals at set times throughout the
        day in an upright position. He is gaining
        weight and we very much hope he will
        continue responding well to his medication.
        Stuart explains,

        ֱVinnie has adapted to it really
        well. While progress is slow, his
        personality is returning. Vinnie is
        truly a member of our family and
        we were so glad to get him home.ֱ

        Since the machineֱs installation in February
        2022, the Neurology Team have performed
        12 studies on clinical patients, enabling them
        to effectively diagnose and manage an array
        of neuromuscular diseases. Abbe explains,
        ֱThe Neurogen Tru Trace
        electrodiagnostics machine is a key

        addition to our neurology service,
        supporting our clinical and research
        abilities. With this device, we can
        continue to provide state-of-the-art
        care for our patients.ֱ

                  a lifesaver?                          The RVCֱs Blood Transfusion Team

                                                        needs more feline blood donors.

                                                        donors lots of cuddles, putting them at ease and making
