Miss Margot is one silly lab puppy that ate her parent’s phone charger! We took a radiograph, which confirmed that she had chewed up pieces of the phone charger in her stomach. Dr. Lavoie administered a medication to Margot to induce vomiting, and she brought up a large amount of the cord. There was still some material in her gastrointestinal tract but removing a portion of it reduced her risk of a foreign body obstruction. Her owner brought her home to monitor for any vomiting or inappetence. She’s been doing great since, and we hope she stays out of trouble!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the awesome moms out there! Wishing you all an amazing day filled with love!

Stella came in for a visit because she was lethargic and inappetent. Her regular veterinarian was treating her for a urinary tract infection, and she was found to have bladder stones. When she came to see us, she could only urinate a small amount of extremely bloody urine. She was hospitalized, and Dr. Leshem performed surgery removing urinary stones from her bladder and urethra. She did become anemic and required a blood transfusion while she was hospitalized but responded well to treatment. She came back for her recheck this week and is doing great!

Sasha presented to VEC with inappetence and vomiting. Diagnostics confirmed that she had a foreign body obstruction with concern for peritonitis. Dr. Leshem performed surgery removing plastic from Sasha’s intestines and repaired perforations. Sasha was hospitalized for multiple days receiving around the clock care. Against all odds she did great and recovered! She had her recheck this week with Dr. Leshem and was cleared to return to her normal activities.

Wishing everyone a very happy Easter!

Millie wanted to celebrate St. Patty’s Day with her family, so she ate some Irish Soda Bread. This type of bread contains raisins, which are toxic to dogs and can cause kidney injury. Her family acted immediately, and Dr. Petrauskas induced vomiting when she arrived. Millie vomited 8 raisins, but it was suspected that she had ingested more. She was hospitalized with us for 48 hours receiving IV fluids and we monitored her kidney values. She did great with her treatment, and we hope she stays away from raisins! ☘️
