Meet Frank! Frank is a 9 year old Pit Bull Terrier, and he is a sweet, rambunctious boi. Unfortunately, Frank LOVES to eat fabric. T-shirts, towels, socks ... and bedding. Earlier this month, Frank decided that some bed skirt would really hit the spot, and he had some trash for dessert a few days later. It sounded like a great idea at the time, but it wasn't long before Frank wasn't feeling well. Vomiting. Nausea. Then not wanting to eat at all. Diarrhea. Frank's mom had brought him in for an evaluation and treatment right away, and he would seem to get better for awhile but then stop eating again. Barium radiograph studies for Frank had not indicated a full obstruction foreign body, and later x-rays were still inconclusive for a true FB. We continued to be hopeful that Frank would pass any fabric that might be in his GI tract, but Frank kept holding on - even attempts to induce vomiting were unsuccessful with this stubborn patient!

The decision was made on Tuesday night (5/27) to admit Frank on Wednesday for exploratory abdominal surgery. We're thrilled to say that Frank did great throughout the procedure, and Dr. Truax was able to extract over two feet of bed skirt 😲as well as some other bits and pieces of grass and goo. (See the comments section for a photo of what Frank had been hiding in his intestines!) Frank will be kept under observation and on a strictly bland diet for the next several days, but we can report that he is definitely feeling MUCH better now. Whether or not he has learned his lesson remains to be seen😏

Please enjoy this sloooowly-moving tortoise 🐢 for your midweek respite from the world's fast-moving craziness 💚 Scooter is a 19-year old Sulcata tortoise owned by our Dr. Linda Rock-Paul and her family. The family dogs think Scooter is a rock that moves 😅 Scooter enjoys sunshine, warm weather, and dandelions. This past holiday weekend was the perfect opportunity for her to hurry on outside to catch some rays!
