Teddy, a 16-week-old puppy, was brought to us after becoming lethargic and developing vomiting, diarrhea, and a loss of appetite. Testing confirmed that Teddy had parvovirus, a very serious and often deadly virus that primarily affects young, unvaccinated puppies.

Parvovirus attacks the gastrointestinal tract and immune system, and without treatment it can progress rapidly. The good news in Teddy’s case was that he was brought in early in the course of the disease. Because of that, we were able to treat him with the canine parvovirus monoclonal antibody, along with a few days of supportive care to keep him hydrated and stable while his body fought the infection.

Teddy responded well to treatment, continued to improve over the next couple of days, and ultimately made a full recovery. He was able to go home to his family where he belongs.

Parvovirus is highly contagious but easily preventable through proper vaccination. Teddy’s story is a good reminder of how important those early puppy vaccines are in protecting them from this disease.

Penny, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu, was brought to us after experiencing difficulty delivering one of her puppies. On examination it was clear that the puppy was stuck in the birth canal and she was unable to pass it on her own.

Penny was taken to surgery so we could safely remove the puppy and help her through the delivery. The procedure went smoothly, and Penny recovered well afterward.

Mom and puppies are now doing well, and seeing Penny resting comfortably with her babies nursing is the best outcome we could hope for.

Alfie came to see us for hind limb lameness. During his exam we also noticed a small wound on his back that raised some concern. Radiographs were taken, and that’s when we discovered a pellet in Alfie’s abdomen. At some point, Alfie had been shot.

Because of the location of the pellet and concern for internal injury, Alfie was taken to surgery. During the procedure we found three perforations in his intestines that needed to be repaired, and the pellet was removed.

While the cost of treatment was understandably a concern, we were able to help set up a payment plan through vetbilling.com so Alfie could receive the care he needed.

Alfie handled surgery very well and recovered nicely afterward. He’s a tough little guy, and we’re glad we were able to help him through it.

Honey came to us in very critical condition. She arrived laterally recumbent and minimally responsive just five days after giving birth. According to her family, she had been declining since the puppies were born. She had previously been seen at another emergency hospital, where she was diagnosed with a foreign body and pneumonia and then referred to us for treatment.

After stabilizing her, our team took Honey to surgery to remove the obstruction. Following surgery she remained hospitalized overnight so we could continue close monitoring and provide supportive care.

The next morning brought a very welcome change. Honey looked like a completely different dog. She was up, alert, barking, and running around her kennel looking for attention. Moments like this are always rewarding for our team, and we were very glad to see her turn the corner.

Roxy, a 5-year-old pug, was brought in for vomiting, bloat and lethargy. After evaluation and diagnostics, she was diagnosed with a pyometra, a serious and potentially life-threatening uterine infection that requires prompt surgical treatment.

Because timing is critical with pyometra cases, we moved forward with surgery to remove the infected uterus. Roxy did very well during her procedure and is now recovering comfortably.

We understand that unexpected veterinary emergencies can be stressful, including financially. Roxy’s owner had concerns about cost, but we were able to set up a payment plan through VetBilling.com, which allowed us to proceed with the care she needed without delay.

We’re grateful we could help Roxy when it mattered most and are wishing her a smooth and comfortable recovery at home.

Boy came to us feeling pretty awful. He had bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and wasn’t eating — symptoms that had us very concerned for parvo.

Thankfully, tests ruled that out. Instead, Boy was dealing with a nasty case of hookworms and some serious GI upset.

With 24 hours of supportive care, fluids, and targeted treatment for the parasites, Boy perked up fast. His appetite returned, his tummy settled, and his tail started wagging again.

Meet Scooby!

The first photo shows Scooby when he arrived at our hospital, looking very weak, dehydrated, and clearly feeling awful. He tested positive for parvovirus. Parvo is a highly contagious viral disease that affects unvaccinated puppies, puppies that are not fully vaccinated with only one or two rounds, and puppies that did not receive vaccines on an appropriate schedule.

Common signs of parvo include:
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea, sometimes with blood
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
• Rapid dehydration

Parvo requires prompt veterinary care that usually includes IV fluids, anti-nausea medications, antibiotics to help prevent secondary infections, pain control, and nutritional support. Recovery takes time and many patients will need several days of treatment and hospitalization before they begin to improve.

Scooby spent several days with us receiving supportive care. Once he started eating again, staying hydrated, and acting more alert, he was able to go home. The second photo shows him at discharge looking bright, healthy, and very ready to get back to being a happy puppy.

Thank you to Scooby’s family for committing to his care and working so hard to support his recovery. We are glad he is doing well and we wish him a long and healthy life.

Meet Duvalin

He was brought to us lateral and unresponsive—tiny (just over 1 lb) and dangerously hypoglycemic with a very low body temperature. After careful warming, IV dextrose, and supportive care, he spent two days hospitalized and made a full recovery.

Hypoglycemia can happen fast in very small puppies and kittens, especially toy breeds or the runts.

Watch for: wobbliness, weakness, crying, tremors, staring, collapse, or not waking to eat.

Prevention tips: frequent small meals, keep them warm/dry, don’t skip feedings, and seek veterinary care at the first sign of lethargy or refusal to eat.

We’re so proud of this little fighter—and grateful to his people for acting quickly.

Chili came to see us after her family noticed that her face had suddenly started to swell following a recent vaccination. This type of reaction can occasionally happen after vaccines — it’s called a vaccine hypersensitivity reaction.

While most pets handle vaccines without any issues, some may experience mild swelling, hives, or itchiness. In rare cases, more serious allergic reactions can occur and need prompt treatment.

Thankfully, Chili’s family acted quickly and brought her right in! With timely care, her swelling resolved, and she’s now feeling much better — and looking as cute as ever.

If your pet ever shows swelling, hives, vomiting, or sudden lethargy after a vaccine, it’s always safest to call your vet right away. Most reactions are treatable when caught early!

Obito came to us after swallowing a sewing needle and thread: a surprisingly common but very dangerous situation for cats. We had to surgically remove both the needle and the string to keep him safe.

The needle can easily puncture or perforate the stomach or intestines, leading to severe infection or internal bleeding. And even without the needle, the string alone can cause what’s called a linear foreign body — where it gets caught in the intestines, causing them to bunch up, tear, or even rupture. Both can be life-threatening emergencies.

Thankfully, Obito’s family acted quickly, and our team was able to remove everything safely. He’s now on the mend and feeling much better!

This is a good reminder to keep thread, string, and other small objects safely out of reach — cats are naturally curious, and sometimes their curiosity gets the best of them!

Jordan, a little Yorkie, first came to us after being attacked by another dog. His injuries were serious and required stitches to help him heal.

Today he was back for his suture removal — and we’re happy to say he’s fully recovered! He’s back to his normal, spunky self and more than ready to finally ditch the cone.

We’re proud of how tough this little guy is and glad we could be part of his recovery.
