Dr. Ana-Alexandra Stamatin

I am a UK-licensed veterinary surgeon with over a decade of experience in small animal medicine and emergency care.

I offer calm, practical online veterinary consultations for dog and cat owners who need help understanding their pet’s health problem, deciding on the next steps, or getting a second opinion after a recent vet visit.

Many owners feel overwhelmed after an appointment or when their pet develops new symptoms. My role is to help you understand what might be going on, what tests may be useful, and how to move forward with a clear and realistic plan.

I commonly help owners with:

• Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats and dogs • Skin problems (itchy dog, allergies, recurrent ear or skin infections) • Eye problems (red eye, discharge, squinting, cloudy eye) • Diabetes and long-term medical conditions • Osteoarthritis and mobility issues • Senior pet care and quality-of-life decisions • Second opinions and understanding blood test results • Nutritional and diet management for chronic conditions

During our consultation we can:

• review symptoms and history • discuss likely differential diagnoses • create a step-by-step investigation plan • discuss treatment options and realistic next steps • prioritise care so that it is both medically appropriate and financially sensible

Online consultations are designed to guide and support pet owners, but they do not replace a physical veterinary examination where this is required. Prescribing medication is not possible without a veterinary-client-patient relationship.

If you have recently seen a vet but still have questions, or you are unsure what to do next, I will help you understand the situation and decide on the most appropriate next steps for your pet.
