Happy Father’s Day to the dog dads who:

🐾 Say “we’re just going for a quick walk”
🐾 Have 7,000 photos of their dog on their phone
🐾 Swear they didn’t want a dog in the first place
🐾 Somehow end up sharing half their side of the bed

We see you and so do your very grateful pups. 💙

If you guessed a penny, you nailed it!✔️

That's right - this pet's foreign object turned out to be a penny, you can even see Abraham Lincoln's face!

Foreign objects can quickly become dangerous, especially coins containing zinc, which can be toxic to pets if left untreated. 🪙
If your pet is vomiting, lethargic, not eating, or acting unusual after getting into something they shouldn't, contact your veterinarian right away.

Great guesses, everyone! Stay tuned for the next Pet Puzzler!🐾

A Behind-the-Scenes Look🦁

The WVRC Ozaukee team had the opportunity to visit the veterinary hospital at the Milwaukee County Zoo and get an educational, behind-the-scenes experience.

Dr. Rettenmund gave the team a full tour of the hospital and showed them some equipment that emphasized the vast differences between our scopes of practice.
Most notable was a rather large, custom-made endotracheal tube used during anesthesia for their larger animals. Another tool they use is a dart gun, which, when utilized, can safely medicate exotic species from a distance.

A huge thank you to the zoo's veterinary team for sharing their expertise and giving us a glimpse into the world of zoological medicine.🐾 ❤️

Patient Success Story 🐾

Meet Watson! She presented to WVRC Ozaukee after ingesting an unknown amount of tampons from the trash, a common ingestion at the ER. Due to the time period in which they were ingested, the team quickly induced vomiting.
Radiographs were taken and showed there was still foreign material in her stomach, so Watson was taken to surgery. Between the inducing vomiting and surgery, Watson had ingested 8 tampons!

Foreign object ingestion is a common emergency in dogs and can become life-threatening if not treated quickly.
Signs to watch for include:
-Vomiting
-Loss of appetite
-Lethargy
-Abdominal discomfort
-Straining to defecate.

We are pleased to share that Watson is recovering well at home and hopefully staying out of the trash.🗑️

World Pet Memorial Day is a time to remember the companions who changed our lives with their unconditional love.

As veterinary professionals, it is a privilege to care for pets and support the people who love them through every stage of life, including the hardest goodbyes.

Today, we honor the cherished pets who are deeply missed but never forgotten. ❤️

National Microchipping Month is a great reminder to make sure your pet’s microchip information is up to date. 🐾

Even the most careful pet parents can experience the unexpected, and a registered microchip can help reunite lost pets with their families faster. If your pet already has a microchip, take a moment to confirm your contact information is current. If they are not microchipped yet, talk with your veterinarian about this simple and permanent form of identification.

A microchip can make all the difference when every moment counts. ❤️
