💜🐾 Bitty the Brave 🐾💜

Meet Bitty, a beloved Great Dane whose family found themselves facing every Dane owner's worst nightmare.

One evening in September 2022, Bitty suddenly developed a severely distended abdomen and began non-productively retching. Recognizing the signs of a potential emergency, her family rushed her to Red River Animal Emergency Hospital.

Upon arrival, Bitty was triaged immediately. Our Emergency team quickly performed a needle decompression to help relieve pressure before obtaining radiographs, which confirmed she was suffering from gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), commonly known as bloat.

GDV is a life-threatening emergency that occurs when the stomach fills with gas and twists on itself, cutting off blood flow and requiring immediate surgical intervention.

Faced with a difficult decision, Bitty's family chose to move forward with surgery. Through the efforts of our Emergency team, Bitty underwent emergency surgery and was closely monitored throughout her recovery. Following surgery, she remained hospitalized for pain management, cardiac monitoring, and supportive care before finally heading home to continue healing with her family.

Today, we're thrilled to share that Bitty is still thriving and celebrated her 13th birthday this May - a milestone that once seemed impossible. Way to go, Bitty! 💜

Bitty's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing emergency warning signs, acting quickly, and the incredible resilience of our patients.

We hear you - unexpected emergency and specialty care services can be stressful. While we can't eliminate that stress, we can continue looking for ways to provide additional payment options for our clients.

That's why we're excited to share another financing option available for qualifying clients: Cherry! 🍒

Cherry offers:
✔ Quick applications
✔ Fast approval decisions
✔ Flexible payment plan options

Our goal is always to help you make informed decisions about your pet's care and provide resources that may make treatment more accessible when the unexpected happens.

If you have questions about Cherry, CareCredit, All Pet Card, or any of our payment options, our Client Service Team is happy to help! You can also find additional information on our website: https://rraeh.com/resources/

💡 Helpful Tip: If you're considering Cherry, keep in mind that an initial payment is due at the time of service, with the remaining balance paid through your selected financing plan.

Because when your pet needs care, that's where your attention should be. ❤️ ...

☀️🐶 Summer adventures are more fun when everyone stays safe (including our four-legged family members)!

As temperatures climb, it's important to remember that dogs don't cool down the same way people do. What may feel warm to us can quickly become dangerous for them, especially during outdoor activities, walks on hot pavement, or time spent in vehicles.

Heat-related emergencies can develop faster than many pet owners realize. A little planning (plenty of water, access to shade, avoiding the hottest parts of the day, and monitoring your pet closely) can go a long way in keeping your dog safe.

We've put together this quick guide to help you recognize when a dog may be overheating and what steps to take if an emergency occurs.

📌 Save this post for later.

📞 If you ever have concerns about your pet, our emergency team is here 24/7 at 701-478-9299.

Stay cool, stay safe, and enjoy the summer! 🐾💙...
