🐻 BEAR 🐻

This mischievous boy had too much fun at a kids birthday party last week and decided to munch into a child’s rubber fork 🍴

Bear presented to our hospital due to having vomiting and diarrhea at home so his owners knowing Bear’s character thought he may have ate something he shouldn’t have!

Once admitted we got to work on X-raying Bear’s abdomen to see what we could find!
In the images below you can see the rubber fork outlined. Unfortunately for Bear this meant we needed to perform an emergency exploratory laparotomy to go and retrieve the fork!

We reunited Bear’s owner with their missing fork and sent him home the next day after recovering with us on intravenous fluid therapy for the night!

As you can see Bear is back to himself and happy to be home with his brother Blue 🥰
He’s under strict instructions to leave the cutlery drawer alone 🫣

🌼LILY TOXICITY IN CATS 🐈

Did you know that Lillie’s are highly toxic in cats and can be fatal.

Contrary to what people believe it is not just the flower that is toxic, it is the stem the leaves and even the water in the vase that can have fatal consequences.

Meet the beautiful Fawn 🐈

Luckily for Fawn her owner knew the effects Lillie’s can have on cats! Once she spotted the pollen on Fawn’s paws and mouth she immediately brought her into the hospital 🏥

Once admitted we got to work to try and stop any of these nasty toxins having affects on her kidneys.

We sedated Fawn to wash her completely from the pollen and also hoped the sedation would induce vomiting. Although cats never like to follow any rules in veterinary so inducing vomiting is not always an easy task!

We placed an IV cannula to initiate aggressive fluid therapy to flush the kidneys.

Once Fawn was up and around from the sedation we medicated her with activated charcoal which helps to bind the toxins.

The following morning we took bloods and ran a kidney profile to see how they were coping after the ingestion of the Lillie’s. Luckily we had got her in time and their was no permanent damage.

After staying in the hospital with us on fluids for 24 hours we were happy to discharge Fawn!

We have kept in contact with Fawn to ensure she is recovering well at home🏡

So remember if you own cats and are looking to buy nice flowers let’s keep the Lillie’s in the shops and pick a different kind!
