Meet Missy! ๐พ๐
Missy, a sweet 16-week-old American Staffy, came to see us after her paw-rents became very worried โ sheโd been vomiting all morning and was feeling extremely lethargic.
Our veterinarians examined her and took radiographs, which revealed two abnormal masses in her stomach. Missy was admitted right after for an emergency exploratory laparotomy, where we discovered two rocks lodged in her small intestine ๐ชจ๐ชจ
The surgery was a success โ
and Missy is now back home recovering โ happy, healthy, and getting plenty of cuddles from her family. ๐ถ๐
โ ๏ธ Puppies explore with their mouths โ chewing or swallowing foreign objects can become stuck within their stomach and quickly become life-threatening.
If your concerned your pet has ingested something they shouldnโt, vomiting, lethargic, or off their food, seek veterinary care immediately.
