Do dogs who come to rehab have better pain scores after seeing us? 🐶

Dr. Alexandra Kravitz, a third-year resident in Integrative & Rehabilitative Medicine, studied dogs with osteoarthritis to see how their pain scores changed after receiving a multimodal pain management plan. At their recheck evaluation, all dogs in the study showed improvement, whether they participated in formal rehabilitation or followed an outpatient exercise plan.

We congratulate Dr. Kravitz on being a winner of our Connie Leifer Resident Research Award!

Working alongside veterinary specialists on research is an important part of the residency experience at AMC. These projects help our residents advance their knowledge while contributing to the latest research and developments in their specialties.

If you're taking your dog to the beach, it's important to be aware of sand impaction. This life-threatening intestinal blockage can occur when a dog swallows too much sand, usually accidentally, while playing on the beach.

Signs may develop within hours or up to several days later and typically include vomiting, lethargy, and loss of appetite. If you notice these signs after a beach outing, seek veterinary care immediately.

Treatment depends on how much sand is impacted and how sick the dog is. Most dogs require hospitalization, intravenous fluids, medications, and close monitoring.

Surgery is avoided whenever possible because removing millions of grains of sand carries a high risk of infection. Fortunately, most dogs recover well with medical management. 🐶❤️

🏖️

Si llevas a tu perro a la playa, es importante estar atento a la impactación de arena. Esta obstrucción intestinal, que pone en peligro la vida del animal, puede ocurrir cuando un perro ingiere demasiada arena, generalmente de forma accidental, mientras juega en la playa.

Los síntomas pueden manifestarse en cuestión de horas o tardar hasta varios días en aparecer y suelen incluir vómitos, letargo y pérdida del apetito. Si observas estos signos tras una visita a la playa, busca atención veterinaria de inmediato.

El tratamiento depende de la cantidad de arena acumulada y de la gravedad del estado de salud del perro. La mayoría de los perros requieren hospitalización, fluidoterapia intravenosa, medicación y una estrecha vigilancia.

Se evita recurrir a la cirugía siempre que sea posible, ya que la extracción de millones de granos de arena conlleva un alto riesgo de infección. Afortunadamente, la mayoría de los perros se recuperan con tratamiento médico. 🐶❤️

Lou Bega was abandoned as an injured puppy in North Carolina. After spending several months in a shelter there, the wonderful rescue Mr. Bones & Co. and Rescue the Runway brought him into their care.

Lou was suffering from a severe angular limb deformity in his front left leg, likely caused by a traumatic injury to his growth plates when he was very young. His rescuers received a grant from KodiakCare and AMC to the Rescue to help fund surgery to improve his mobility and quality of life.

Our expert surgical team created 3D models of both the affected limb and the healthy opposite limb to plan the most precise method to straighten his leg so that he would be more comfortable. Lou’s surgery, led by Dr. Daniel Spector, Service Head of Surgical Service 2, and Dr. Chanel Berns, Specialist in Surgery, was a success!

Lou's adopter Andrew shares, “The grant given to Mr. Bones & Co has been a godsend. Without it, we wouldn't be able to avoid the further injury and severe arthritis that a limb deformity can cause. It was obvious that Lou’s injury caused him distress and limited the time he could be a normal dog.

"Even though he could run and play at the dog park, many times I would carry him home, so he could just have fun and not worry about getting back. Thankfully, his mobility continues to improve, and I can’t wait until we can play together outside without any limitations."

Meet the dog behind the x-ray! 🩻🐕

DeeDee's owner, Taina, shares, "DeeDee has been doing great since her trip to AMC! This happened right before her 13th birthday. One of our cats had thrown up into the litter box and DeeDee, being her usual dog self, ate the vomit - pellets included. All pellets passed on their own, so no surgery was required. It was a freak accident, but we aren't taking any chances. We've since blocked her from the litter box using an old window screen - short enough for cats to hop over, but tall enough to keep little chihuahuas out of trouble!"

Taina's mom and DeeDee's co-owner adds, "There are not words to express the gratitude we have for the great care DeeDee was given. The staff kept a close eye on her, we were well informed of possible outcomes, and the staff kept us notified like clockwork. A happy ending with a wonderful experience."

We're so glad everything worked out for DeeDee! As always, our veterinary ER is here 24/7/365 for pets experiencing an emergency.

🚨 Air Quality Alert 🚨 New York City’s Air Quality Index (AQI) is at Level Red this morning, which means the air is unhealthy for everyone, including pets. Keep pets indoors as much as possible. Take dogs outside only briefly to relieve themselves, and avoid walks, exercise, and other strenuous outdoor activity.

Flat-faced breeds, senior pets, birds, and animals with heart or lung conditions may be especially vulnerable. Watch for coughing, gagging, wheezing, difficulty breathing, unusual fatigue, or eye irritation, and contact your veterinarian if symptoms occur. Seek emergency veterinary care for breathing distress.

Air quality can vary by location and change throughout the day. Check the latest AQI for your area at AirNow.gov.

🦮 Our Director of Pet Health Information spoke with USA Today about how pet owners should respond to air quality alerts due to the Canada fires. Click the link in our comments to read the article!
