🐾 When a limp tells a bigger story…

Curry came to the clinic because of persistent limping on his right foreleg. An X-ray revealed a severe chronic fracture of the radius and ulna. This was not a new injury — the same fracture had occurred years ago, and a previous failed casting caused the bones to heal improperly.

Because of this, the fracture developed into a chronic malunion, where the bones healed in the wrong position with excessive callus and calcified bone formation. This abnormal healing caused deformity, pain, and prevented the bone fragments from being properly reconnected.

Our team carefully evaluated the limb and initially attempted to salvage the leg. Unfortunately, due to the severe calcification and deformity around the fracture site, the bone segments could no longer be realigned or reconstructed safely.

⚕️ Because the limb had become painful and non-functional, the most humane and medically appropriate option was a scapulectomy — surgical removal of the affected forelimb to eliminate chronic pain and improve Curry’s quality of life.

The procedure was successfully performed by Dr. Angelo, specializing in orthopedic surgery, together with Dra. Fatima, specializing in soft-tissue surgery.

🐶 Recovery will still take time — especially since Curry is a Pomeranian, and we all know how playful and energetic they can be. But the good news? Curry is already more comfortable and starting to return to his playful self.

💡 Important reminder:
Improperly healed fractures can lead to chronic pain, deformity, and loss of function. In some cases, amputation is not giving up — it’s giving a pet a pain-free second chance at life. Many dogs adapt incredibly well and live happy, active lives on three legs.

Curry’s journey to recovery continues, but this little fighter is already bouncing back. 🐾✨:

🧵 Cookie, the sewing kit mastermind… caught in the act.

Cookie was brought to the clinic after the owner noticed a lump on the neck. Around the same time, one needle from their sewing kit mysteriously went missing — and the prime suspect was none other than Cookie.

To confirm the suspicion, our vet immediately performed an X-ray.
📸 The result: a sewing needle lodged in Cookie’s neck.

⚠️ Thankfully, the needle was not lodged in the trachea (windpipe) or the esophagus (food pipe). If it had penetrated either of these structures, it could have caused:

Difficulty breathing

Severe swallowing problems

Infection in the chest or surrounding tissues

Life-threatening complications

Because the needle was located within the soft tissues of the neck and had not punctured these vital structures, surgical removal was safer and more straightforward.

⚕️ Our vet then performed surgery to carefully locate and remove the needle, preventing it from migrating deeper or causing further injury.

✨ The procedure was successful, and Cookie is now on the road to recovery.

💡 Reminder to pet owners:
Small objects like needles, threads, pins, and sewing materials can easily become dangerous foreign bodies for curious pets. Always keep these items securely stored and out of reach.

Because sometimes… the cutest pets are also the sneakiest masterminds 🐶🧵

🐶 When back pain isn’t just back pain…

Chewy was brought to the clinic for arching of the back and obvious pain. During re**al palpation, our resident vet felt a mass effect inside the re**al area, so an immediate X-ray was requested to confirm the suspicion.

📸 The result? A significantly enlarged prostate.

🩺 Diagnosis:
Chewy was diagnosed with prostatic enlargement, most commonly due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — a hormone-dependent condition seen in intact male dogs.

As male dogs age, continuous exposure to testosterone causes the prostate gland to enlarge. When it becomes too large, it can:
- Compress the re**um → causing difficulty defecating and arching of the back
- Cause pain and discomfort
- Sometimes compress the urethra → leading to difficulty urinating

⚠️ The added challenge? Chewy is cryptorchid.

Cryptorchid means one or both testicles did not descend into the sc***um. Some people think cryptorchid dogs:
❌ Don’t produce hormones
❌ Won’t seek female dogs
❌ Don’t need neutering

But that’s not true.

Even a retained testicle:
✔️ Still produces testosterone
✔️ Still stimulates the prostate
✔️ Maintains male behaviors
✔️ Has a significantly higher risk of developing tumors

💉 Treatment:
The gold standard treatment for BPH is castration, including removal of the retained testicle in cryptorchid cases.

We’re happy to share that Chewy has now been successfully castrated, including removal of the retained testicle.

Over the next few weeks:
- Testosterone levels will drop
- The prostate will gradually shrink
- Pressure on the re**um will decrease
- His discomfort should significantly improve

✨ Chewy is now recovering well and on his way to a more comfortable, healthier life.

💡 Reminder: Cryptorchid dogs are not “less male” — they are actually at higher medical risk if left unneutered.

🐾 “Why laser therapy if there’s no open wound?”

A patient was brought to the clinic due to limping on the left hind leg. The owner was worried about a fracture — but after performing an X-ray, no broken bones were seen.

However, physical examination showed localized inflammation and pain in the affected area.

🔍 So what could be the cause?

Even without fractures, limping can be due to:
- Soft tissue injury (muscle strain)
- Ligament sprain
- Tendon inflammation
- Minor trauma from running or jumping
- Early joint inflammation

Not all injuries show up on X-ray — especially soft tissue injuries.

💊 While anti-inflammatory medications were prescribed to control pain and swelling, the owner also agreed to proceed with Laser Therapy to speed up recovery.

✨ Why laser therapy even without an open wound?

Laser therapy is not just for skin wounds. It works at the cellular level by:
✔️ Reducing inflammation
✔️ Improving blood circulation
✔️ Decreasing pain
✔️ Accelerating tissue repair
✔️ Promoting faster healing of muscles, ligaments, and tendons

Unlike medications alone, laser therapy directly stimulates healing in deeper tissues — making it a powerful addition for soft tissue injuries.

📸 After just 3 days of laser therapy, the inflammation was reduced by almost 80%, and the patient showed significant improvement in comfort and movement.

💡 Reminder: Not all limping means fracture — but it always deserves proper evaluation.

Healing isn’t just about closing wounds — it’s about restoring movement and comfort 🐶✨

👁️🐶 Timing is everything!

Teddy, a 3-year-old male Chihuahua, was involved in a dog fight that caused his eye to protrude — a condition called proptosis, which is common in small, brachycephalic breeds.

Thankfully, his owners rushed him to our clinic immediately. Because he was brought in on time, the eye was still viable and salvageable.

⚕️Our resident vet promptly performed a temporary tarsorrhaphy — a procedure where the eyelids are partially sutured closed to protect the eye while it heals.

🔍 Why is temporary tarsorrhaphy necessary?

When an eye protrudes:
- The eyelids cannot blink properly
- The cornea dries out quickly
- Swelling increases
- The optic nerve and blood supply may be compromised

Closing the eyelids helps:
✔️ Keep the eye moist
✔️ Reduce swelling
✔️ Protect the cornea from trauma and ulcers
✔️ Allow damaged tissues to recover

🧵 Why use a stent?

During tarsorrhaphy, a soft stent (often made from tubing material) is placed between the suture and the eyelid. This:
- Prevents the sutures from cutting into delicate eyelid tissue
- Distributes pressure evenly
- Reduces pain and tissue damage
- Improves healing outcomes

✨ Because Teddy was treated immediately, his eye had a fighting chance.

💡 Reminder: Eye protrusion is an emergency. The sooner a pet is brought to the vet, the higher the chance of saving the eye.

Teddy is now under close monitoring and on his way to recovery 🐾❤️

"If it’s open-type pyometra, why still do surgery?”

Meet Sophie 🐶 — she came in with open-type pyometra, meaning there was vaginal discharge because her cervix was open and pus could drain out. While this may look less alarming, open-type pyometra is still a medical emergency.

🔍 Why spay (ovariohysterectomy) is still the treatment of choice — even in open-type pyometra:
✔️ The infection is still inside the uterus
Discharge does NOT mean the infection is gone. Bacteria and toxins remain in the uterus and can spread into the bloodstream at any time.
✔️ Open-type can suddenly become closed-type
The cervix can close without warning, trapping pus inside. When this happens, the risk of uterine rupture, sepsis, and death rises dramatically.
✔️ Medical management is risky and temporary
Medications may reduce discharge or improve appetite for a short time, but recurrence is common — and often more severe.
✔️ Definitive treatment removes the source of infection
Spaying completely removes the infected uterus and ovaries, eliminating the infection and preventing recurrence.

⚠️ Why surgery is still considered a “risk worth taking”
Although surgery in a sick patient carries risks, delaying surgery carries a much higher risk. Untreated pyometra can lead to:
Septicemia (blood infection)
Kidney and liver failure
Uterine rupture
Death

🐾 Sophie’s case
Despite being diagnosed with open-type pyometra, Sophie’s owner chose to proceed with surgery, understanding that it was the safest long-term option. The infected uterus was successfully removed, preventing progression to a more dangerous stage.

✨ Today, Sophie is recovering well — infection gone, uterus gone, and risk eliminated.

💡 Take-home message for pet owners:
Open-type pyometra is not “mild pyometra.”
It’s still life-threatening — and spay surgery saves lives.

📍 If your unspayed dog shows lethargy, discharge, or abdominal enlargement, seek veterinary care immediately.

❌ PLEASE don’t put rubber bands on your pet’s balls.

Milo was rushed to the clinic after a failed rubber band castration attempt. According to the owner, the rubber band snapped and was left partially attached, causing severe pain, swelling, and tissue damage.

The intention was to save money, believing that neutering by a veterinarian was too costly. Unfortunately, this method caused far more harm and turned into a medical emergency.

🩺 What went wrong?
Using rubber bands on pets is extremely dangerous and can lead to:
- Severe pain and stress
- Tissue necrosis (death of tissue)
- Infection and abscess formation
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Sepsis (life-threatening blood infection)

⚕️ What we did:
Our vet immediately assessed Milo, treated the damaged tissue, controlled pain and infection, and then proceeded with a proper veterinary neutering under anesthesia to safely remove the te**es and prevent further complications.

💡 Why vet-performed neutering is the best option:
✔️ Painless under anesthesia
✔️ Sterile and controlled
✔️ Faster and safer healing
✔️ Prevents complications
✔️ Cheaper in the long run than emergency treatment

❗ Trying to cut costs this way can result in higher expenses, severe suffering, or even death.

🐾 Responsible pet ownership means choosing humane, veterinary-approved procedures.
If cost is a concern, talk to your vet — DIY castration is never the solution.

Milo is now recovering safely and comfortably ❤️

When Oreo couldn’t pee… and that’s a BIG problem.

Oreo was brought to the clinic after 2 days of not urinating and not defecating. On physical examination, our vet immediately noted a severely distended bladder — a true emergency. 🚨

🩻 An X-ray was performed to determine the cause.
Common causes of urinary blockage include:
- Bladder or urethral stones
- Urethral inflammation or plugs

But in Oreo’s case, the real culprit was different.
🩺 An enlarged prostate.

In unneutered male dogs, the prostate is continuously stimulated by testosterone. Over time, this hormonal influence causes the prostate to enlarge — a condition called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).

👉 As the prostate enlarges, it can compress the urethra, making urination difficult or impossible. This leads to urine retention, bladder overdistension, pain, and can quickly become life-threatening if untreated.

⚕️ Immediate management first:
Because Oreo was lethargic and systemically unwell, immediate castration was not yet safe. To stabilize him, our vet first performed urinary catheterization to:
- Relieve pressure in the bladder
- Allow urine to drain safely
- Reduce pain and toxin buildup
- Stabilize Oreo before surgery

💉 Definitive treatment:
Once Oreo is stable and strong enough, castration (neutering) is scheduled. This is the gold standard treatment for BPH.

⚠️ Owner reminder:
If your dog hasn’t urinated within 12–24 hours, seek veterinary care immediately. This is always an emergency.

Oreo is now stabilized, more comfortable, and on the path toward full recovery. 🐶💙

👁️🐶 When an eye injury can’t wait...

Sachi was brought to the clinic with a protruding right eye. Upon history taking and examination, our vet learned that Sachi had been attacked by a cat two days prior, causing severe ocular trauma.

Unfortunately, due to the extent of the injury and delayed presentation, the eye was no longer salvageable, and an emergency enucleation was necessary to relieve pain and prevent infection.

⚕️ The surgery was successful, and Sachi is now in the recovery phase, healing comfortably and pain-free.

💡 Reminder to pet owners: Eye injuries are always emergencies. Early veterinary care can make the difference between saving and losing an eye.

Wishing Sachi a smooth and speedy recovery ❤️

👁️💥 When a fight turns into an eye emergency…

Milky was brought to the clinic with a protruding right eye after an altercation with a nursing mama dog. On examination, the eye had suffered severe trauma and was unfortunately no longer salvageable.

In cases like this, attempting to “save” a severely damaged eye can actually cause more harm than good. A non-viable eye is extremely painful and can quickly lead to infection, tissue necrosis, and even spread of infection to surrounding structures or the bloodstream.

🚨 For Milky’s safety and comfort, our vet immediately performed an emergency enucleation (surgical removal of the eye). This procedure:
• Eliminates severe pain
• Prevents life-threatening infection
• Allows faster and cleaner healing
• Improves the pet’s overall quality of life

🐾 The good news? Pets adapt incredibly well with one eye — and most return to a happy, normal life once the pain is gone.

💡 Reminder to pet owners: In severe eye injuries, prompt treatment — even eye removal — can be the kindest and safest option.

Milky is now on the road to recovery, pain-free and ready to enjoy life again ❤️🐶
