🧝‍♂️Legalos had a great weekend of rest and recovery!

💚This morning the doctor gave him the clear to leave his hospital bed. Soon after, he hurt his knee! It was a minor wound and Maya was able to do Laser Therapy on him the help with healing and keeping down the inflammation! He loved wearing the laser safety googles and thought he looked very fashion forward! This silly elf sure knows how to keep us on our toes!

📱If your pet has lost a little pep in their step give us a call, 515-285-5523, our veterinarians are happy to help!

🧝‍♀️Dr. Austin was able to perform Legalos' surgery to get the mystery item out of his belly. She wore magic, medical gloves sent to us from Santa so she could safely touch him and not ruin is magic (see the pretty green glitter).

🪙Did any of you guess the item? It was a penny! Silly guy, we still are unsure what made him want to swallow a penny! He did great and is recovering comfortably. We even made him Christmas ornaments as get well gifts! After a few days of rest and recovery he will be back to his mischievous ways! Stay tuned!

🧝‍♂️Uh oh… looks like Legalos got himself into a tinsel-strophe!

🩻We noticed he wasn’t acting as jolly and seemed to show signs of tummy troubles. Turns out our mischievous little elf went a swallowed something he definitely shouldn’t have. He had an x-ray (safely), we made sure no one touched him or ruined his magic, and here’s what we saw!

👀Can you guess what he swallowed?

🩺If your pet isn’t feeling merry and bright, bring them in and we can help make them shine again! Give us a call, 515-285-5523, our veterinarians are here to help! Some same day appointment available!
