Featured Clinic Overview
## Summary Ennis Veterinary Clinic is a pet-only practice established in July 2014 by vets Dennis and Meghan Ryan (BVMS). The clinic is set up for both routine consults and in-clinic investigation/treatment, with facilities listed on its site including an operating theatre, a diagnostic imaging suite (x‑ray and ultrasound), separate dog and cat kennels, and an isolation ward. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe the clinic as strong on diagnostics and follow-up communication—for example, urgent examinations leading to a serious liver failure diagnosis within a week, and a late-evening call to confirm blood test results after a poisoning scare. There is also a sharply negative account alleging a prolonged misdiagnosis (ear infection vs. mast cell tumour) with repeated antibiotics and delayed referral. ## Services Based on the website summary and recent reviews, the clinic is associated with: - Diagnostics and investigations - Diagnostic imaging on-site: x‑ray and ultrasound (website) - Blood tests discussed in follow-up communication after a toxic exposure case (review) - In-patient care / hospitalisation - Separate dog and cat kennels and an isolation ward (website) - A cat kept in for two days for monitoring/treatment after toxic flower exposure (review) - Surgery and procedures (facility-supported) - Operating theatre and prep room listed (website) - One review mentions referral for surgical removal of a mast cell tumour elsewhere after diagnosis concerns (review) - Second opinions and re-assessment - Owners describe coming for a second opinion or transfer from another vet, with re-assessment and diagnostic work-up (reviews) ## People - Meghan Ryan (vet, co-founder): Mentioned repeatedly for direct communication and follow-up—e.g., a late-evening call to confirm blood tests were clear after a cat’s toxic exposure, and being part of a team described as acting “quickly and decisively” during urgent diagnostics (reviews). - Dennis Ryan (vet, co-founder): Named alongside Meghan in a case where owners valued the urgency of examinations and clear communication while managing a dog later diagnosed with severe liver failure (review). - Adam (role not stated): Credited with being “absolutely brilliant” during a re-assessment of an older dog with an ongoing infection, with note that the dog was anxious and improved after care (review). - Nurses (not individually named): Mentioned for caring for a cat over a two-day stay during an emergency toxic exposure case (review). ## Reviews 4.7 stars from 286 reviews. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - Fast, decisive diagnostics and second opinions: One owner reports an urgent work-up that led to a severe liver failure diagnosis within a week after switching for a second opinion. - Proactive updates: A specific example is a late-evening callback from a vet to confirm blood test results after a poisoning scare. - Hospital care for acute cases: A cat stayed in for two days following exposure to a toxic flower. - Mixed experiences on diagnostic accuracy and referral timing: One review alleges a misdiagnosis (treated as an ear infection with repeated antibiotics for nearly two months) before a mast cell tumour was identified and referral made, which the reviewer says affected prognosis.

O'Connor's Ennis Veterinary Surgery provides consultations for companion animals and also runs a mobile ambulatory service for farm and equine clients (as stated on its website). The website also states a 24/7, 365-day on-call emergency service; however, multiple reviews describe not getting a response when calling late at night for an emergency, so expectations around out-of-hours access may be worth clarifying. From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention: - vets taking time to assess and discuss options rather than “automatically jumping to expensive procedures” - support around end-of-life decisions, including time spent talking through options for an older dog - willingness to help in difficult situations (e.g., assessing and treating a stray cat when others were “unhelpful”)

BurrenVets presents itself as a veterinary practice aiming for “personal” care (from its website tagline). From the latest reviews, the clinic is frequently used for prompt assessment of sudden injuries and for diagnostic imaging, with multiple owners describing same-day appointments for limping/foot injuries and staff who take time to explain options. Reviews also describe x-rays and ultrasound (including under sedation), and several mention support during palliative and end-of-life visits. One review strongly conflicts with the positive experiences, alleging a serious failure to respond appropriately to an emergency involving a cat with breathing difficulties.
