🚨 Foreign Body GI Obstructions: A True Emergency 🚨

Dogs and cats are naturally curious, but sometimes that curiosity can lead to trouble. When a pet swallows an object that becomes lodged in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, it can create a foreign body obstruction—a potentially life-threatening condition that often requires emergency surgery.

Common items we find include:
🐾 Toys and toy parts
🐾 Socks and underwear
🐾 Bones and rawhide chews
🐾 Corn cobs
🐾 Hair ties and strings
🐾 Rocks and other household objects

Signs of a GI obstruction may include:
⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Loss of appetite
⚠️ Lethargy
⚠️ Abdominal pain
⚠️ Diarrhea or inability to pass stool
⚠️ Dehydration

Without prompt treatment, serious complications can occur:
❗ Intestinal perforation (a tear in the intestine)
❗ Septic peritonitis (infection within the abdomen)
❗ Tissue death due to loss of blood supply
❗ Severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
❗ Sepsis and shock
❗ Death

The sooner a foreign body is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome for your pet. If your dog or cat has swallowed something they shouldn’t have or is showing signs of a blockage, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Early intervention can save lives. ❤️🐾

The most expensive squeaky toy 🧸
Our cute friend here REALLY needed to kill (and then eat) that squeaky toy. 💀
Good thing we were able to remove the obstruction from his bowels before it did any major damage…

🐾This may look like an odd picture to post… BUT - if you saw what Kuma’s groin & inner legs looked like when we started his treatments 🥵
You would also be jumping with joy like we are!
Kuma came to us a few months ago with extremely red, chapped skin on his groin, inner legs, feet , ears and perianal area. We did cytology & found that he had an extreme case of yeast (malassezia) overgrowth. We treated him with apoquel, cytopoint, switched his food to a hypoallergenic diet, and prescribed an anti fungal shampoo for his family to use.
We also talked about how allergies contribute to the repetitive nature of these types of skin issues & they invested in allergy testing.

Today we had a recheck appointment-(cue the celebration 🕺🏼 due to how well his skin has healed) and reviewed the results from his allergy test.
What this test shows is that he is allergic to indoor allergens (malassezia & dust mites), molds, grasses, trees, weeds & insects.
Next week we start immunotherapy - because knowing what triggers the immune system allows us to help train it to NOT REACT.

Treatment of the underlying disease is the solution to allergies.

Does your pet have reoccurring ear, skin or digestive issues? Might be a good idea to book a consult to discuss whether allergy testing would benefit your pet!

🦷 Slab Fractures of the Carnassial Teeth: More Than Just a Broken Tooth

Did you know that one of the most common dental injuries we see in dogs is a slab fracture of the upper fourth premolar (carnassial tooth)?

A slab fracture occurs when a large section of the tooth breaks away, often exposing the sensitive pulp inside. This can cause:
🐾 Pain and discomfort
🐾 Difficulty chewing
🐾 Infection of the tooth root
🐾 Abscess formation beneath the eye
🐾 Chronic oral inflammation

Common causes include:
🦴 Chewing on antlers, bones, hooves, rocks, or other hard objects
🎾 Repeated chewing on hard toys

Signs your dog may have a fractured tooth:
❗ Chewing on one side of the mouth
❗ Dropping food while eating
❗ Reluctance to chew hard treats
❗ Pawing at the mouth
❗ Bad breath
❗ Facial swelling (in advanced cases)

Treatment options depend on the severity of the fracture and may include:
✔️ Dental radiographs to assess the tooth root
✔️ Root canal therapy & dental sealant (a referral surgery)
✔️ Surgical extraction

Remember: Dogs are very good at hiding dental pain. A fractured tooth may look minor but can be causing significant discomfort.

If you notice a broken tooth or have concerns about your pet’s oral health, give us a call to schedule an examination. Early treatment can help prevent infection and keep your pet comfortable.

✨ BEFORE & 2 WEEKS POST-OP ✨

This patient underwent corrective surgery for stenotic nares — a condition where the nostrils are too narrow, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. This is especially common in brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds.

By widening the nostrils, airflow is improved, helping patients breathe easier, exercise more comfortably, and reduce the effort required just to get enough air. 🐾💙

The difference in this sweet patient’s nostrils only 2 weeks after surgery is already amazing! His parents say that he is SO EXCITED to sniff everything now!

If your pet snores heavily, struggles with exercise, breathes loudly, or seems to work hard to breathe, a consultation may help determine if they could benefit from airway surgery.

Dog malocclusion is one of the most frequently encountered dental conditions in small animal practice, affecting over a quarter of canine patients. While sometimes perceived as merely cosmetic, these malocclusions can cause chronic pain and tissue trauma that require veterinary intervention. With pain responses similar to humans, dogs with traumatic occlusion deserve accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to ensure their comfort and quality of life.
