🐾 Meet Obie! 🐾

This handsome 6-year-old cat came to Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic for hospitalization and further care after being treated for a urethral obstruction at his family vet. This condition causes a urinary blockage, which can be life-threatening if not addressed quickly.

We were happy to be open and able to continue Obie’s care. During his stay, he received intravenous fluids, urinary catheter monitoring and maintenance, pain relief, and other supportive medications to help him feel comfortable and recover smoothly.

After about 36 hours of hospitalization, Obie did wonderfully and was able to go home with medications, a new urinary-friendly diet, and some environmental modifications — all aimed at helping to prevent future urinary blockages.

Our team absolutely loved caring for him — such a sweet and handsome boy! 💙
We’re so happy to see him feeling better and wish him continued good health at home.

🐾 Continuing Education for Better Patient Care

Today, our Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic veterinarians attended an ultrasound course hosted and taught by Dr. Jacquie Pankatz. We had the opportunity to learn and improve on emergency ultrasound techniques (AFAST and TFAST) — skills that help us diagnose and treat our patients more efficiently in critical situations.

We’re excited to bring these enhanced clinical skills back into our practice to continue providing the best possible care for our patients.

A huge thank you to Dr. Pankatz for hosting and sharing your expertise with us! 💙🐾

🎃 Keeping Your Pets Safe This Halloween! 👻

Halloween is full of fun — costumes, candy, and decorations — but it can also be a little too spooky for our pets. Here are a few tips to help keep them safe this season:

🐾 No Halloween treats for pets! Candy and raisins can be toxic — especially chocolate and anything with xylitol (a sugar substitute). Stick to pet-safe snacks instead.

🎭 Watch the costumes! If your pet is dressing up, make sure the costume fits comfortably, doesn’t block vision or movement, and has no small parts they could chew off. Never leave a costumed pet unsupervised.

🕯️ Be cautious with decorations. Keep candles, glow sticks, and batteries out of reach. Curious pets can get burned, shocked, or sick from chewing on these items.

🚪 Keep them secure. With the door opening and closing for trick-or-treaters, make sure your pets have up-to-date ID tags or microchips — and keep them safely indoors or in a quiet room if they’re nervous around strangers.

A little preparation goes a long way toward making Halloween safe and stress-free for everyone — pets included! 💛🐶🐱

Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic is here if you need us. OPEN 6 PM Friday October 31st to 6 AM Monday November 3rd.

Digby’s GDV Emergency

Digby, a 10-year-old male neutered Standard Poodle, was brought to Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic for non-productive retching and a bloated abdomen. On arrival, he had a high heart rate and a painful, distended abdomen — both classic signs of a life-threatening condition known as Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus (GDV) or “bloat.”

Radiographs revealed a severely gas-distended stomach with a ‘double bubble’ appearance, confirming GDV (as seen in the attached image). Immediate treatment was started to stabilize Digby with intravenous fluids and pain relief.

The team performed a trocharization to relieve the trapped gas, followed by emergency surgery to reposition the stomach and restore blood flow. A gastropexy (suturing the stomach to the body wall) was completed to help prevent recurrence.

After surgery, Digby remained hospitalized for close monitoring, supportive care, and pain management. We’re thrilled to report that he made an excellent recovery and is now back home doing great ❤️

His family shared this heartfelt message with us:

“You and your team are amazing! Truly excellent at what you do.
From the initial conversation on the phone to help us decide what to do when Digby was acting weird, to quickly diagnosing what had to be done for his twisted stomach and switching into surgery mode immediately, and ensuring he was comfortable in recovery.
You are true heroes and saved his life.
Within a couple of days, he was up and ready to go out for a walk to our great surprise.
Digby has recovered almost 100% now... He has a good appetite and is back walking around the big block and going to the dog park.
Thank you so much for all you did for him. We are so grateful.”

We’re so happy to see Digby recovering so well at home (as you can see in his photo)! 🐾💙

GDV is a true emergency, and early recognition with rapid veterinary intervention can be lifesaving — just like it was for Digby.

Thanksgiving Home & Safety Tips for Pets 🐾🍂

Thanksgiving brings joy, laughter, and celebration — but all that activity can sometimes be overwhelming for our pets. A few simple precautions can help keep them safe and stress-free this holiday weekend.

🌻 Pet-Safe Décor
Festive centerpieces, candles, and cornucopias look beautiful but can pose risks to curious pets. Avoid lit candles, small decorative pieces, and toxic plants such as amaryllis or hydrangeas. Opt for flameless candles and pet-friendly decorations instead.

🚪 Watch the Doors
With guests coming and going, pets may slip out unnoticed. Make sure your pet is wearing identification. Consider keeping them in a secure room during busy arrival times to prevent escapes.

😺 Create a Quiet Space
The excitement of visitors, music, and noise can be stressful for some pets. Set up a cozy area with their bed, toys, and soft music where they can relax away from the commotion.

🐶 Keep Pets Included (Safely!)
Give your pet attention and exercise before the festivities begin — a tired pet is a happy pet! A walk, playtime, or some cuddle time helps them feel part of the celebration while staying calm and content.

If your pet becomes ill, eats something unsafe, or experiences an emergency over the holiday, Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic is open throughout Thanksgiving weekend.
