Happy Purr-ide month from VVC Midlothian! 🏳️‍🌈🐾

We strongly believe in compassionate, non-discriminatory care — for our furry friends and their humans alike. ❤️

Binx is such a gentleman - but the bees didn't think so! 🐝

His mom noticed sudden facial swelling after playing outside for most of the day, and brought him in to see our Midlothian location. Thankfully, the swelling wasn't causing any respiratory or gastrointestinal effects, and there was no bleeding or pain when touched.

Because of the strong possibility of an allergen or bee sting, we started with a Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) injection and monitored him for about 30 minutes. If this did not prove effective, we would discuss pursuing further diagnostics/treatments. 💉

The swelling improved greatly with the injection alone, and sine there were no other issues, Binx was able to be discharged! Mom was given a Benadryl dose to continue for the next 3-5 days, and was advised to watch for any additional swelling, loss of appetite or difficulty breathing. Binx was so sweet (and polite, as you can see!) ❤️

We hope he is feeling much better!

Bodhi is the cutest Chihuahua mix! ❤️

He began vomiting bile and having soft stool the morning of his visit, so his mom brought him in right away to be checked!
After an unremarkable physical exam (with the exception of abdominal discomfort), we presented an estimate for a full work-up including diagnostics and treatments. 🩺

A conservative medical management plan was elected due to his stability. We administered fluids under the skin and an anti-nausea medication called Maropitant to help him feel better. He was also given Maropitant to continue at home as needed along with a probiotic, and instructions to follow a bland diet to promote recovery. 🐾

In cases like these, where medical management is chosen, we encourage owners to monitor their pet's response closely and to return if there is no improvement or a decline. Our location has a policy for rechecks with no additional fee within 24 hours, so his mom was advised to return to pursue diagnostics if he did not seem better.

We were pleased to see little Bodhi, and hope his tummy is back to normal! ❤️‍🩹

Before and After!

Cleo, a beautiful and super sweet Doberman Pinscher, presented to us for a facial bite wound laceration. 🐕

After her owner approved an estimate for sedated cleaning and repair, our team got right to work!
We begin all of our sedated appointments by checking overall health with a basic blood panel - Cleo's came back looking great, so we proceeded to give her mild sedatives to help her sleep comfortably through the procedure. Unlike human patients, our furry friends don't like to sit still during stitches, so sedation helps ensure their safety (and ours!)

Once she was asleep, we shaved around and thoroughly cleaned the wound to fully assess the extent of the damage. Fortunately, her wound was fairly superficial and required only a few sutures. Once those were in place, we gave her an injectable anti-inflammatory to help with discomfort. Cleo went home with antibiotics to reduce risk of infection, and pain management medications to help keep her comfortable. She was also provided a cone to prevent further trauma or irritation. 🐾

We hope precious Cleo is healing well ❤️

Volt is such a good sport! 🐶❤️

Cones are crucial for preventing self-trauma and to protect wounds, surgical sites, and parts of the body. Though pets can act thoroughly pitiful (and silly!) while wearing them, it is strongly advised to continue use for as long as your veterinarian recommends after medical procedures and visits. 🩺🐾

Proper cone usage will help reduce complications — and hopefully the need for extra visits! 😉
