West Caldwell Animal Hospital

West Caldwell Animal Hospital is an AAHA accredited, full-service veterinary medical facility locate

West Caldwell Animal Hospital was built in the early 1960’s and has operated from the same location ever since. The advantage of practicing in the same location for so long is the satisfaction associated with knowing pets their entire lives; in some cases our adult clients started coming when they were children with their first pets. In this way the WCAH has built relationships with several genera

tions within individual families. This kind of continuity makes our work especially rewarding. In 1964 it first received accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and it has maintained uninterrupted accreditation since then. AAHA is a strictly voluntary organization that sets standards for small animal practice. This involves rigorous on-site reviews and continuous self-evaluation. This conforms to our mission to provide excellent care to family pets.

With the extreme weather we are having, it’s important to be mindful of the effects it has on our pets. Animals have an even lower tolerance for this weather than we do as humans. Heatstroke is a very serious condition and requires attention immediately.

Hey everyone! Sorry we have been so quiet on here. Things have been pretty busy and our patients are our priority! With that said, we hope to get back into our regularly scheduled posts! What better way to jump back into things than with a birthday! Max came to WCAH for a visit and it just so happened to be his 15th birthday! We quickly DIY’d a birthday hat and celebrated with Max! He has been a longtime patient of ours and is as sweet as they come!

This little girl was named after a Dolly Parton song! Any guesses? She is a Bernedoodle who weighs just under 21lbs. We suspect the “doodle” part of her lineage was in fact a toy poodle given her small size. She’s a heartbreaker 😍

*Blooper* This is Joya! And boy was it hard to get her picture! 😂 Joya was just 4 months old when we saw her for the first time last month and she weighed just over 2.5lbs! She was a busy little girl and was over joyed to greet the staff (hence the photo difficulties)!

Should we start a blooper series?! We have some good ones 😆

It’s Jax in the box! Jax visits us twice a week for subcutaneous fluids. Don’t let that look fool you, he is VERY cooperative and a very good boy! Also incredibly photogenic ( look at the photo his parents sent us of him from home).

Post 2 of 2

This is a strand of string that was surgically removed from Bruce’s intestinal tract. Looking at it, it seems like it would pass uneventfully, right? Unfortunately not. When a foreign body such as a string is swallowed, one part ( most often a knot), will get stuck in one part of the GI tract. The rest of the string can move further through the digestive tract but can’t pass through. Because the intestine continues trying to move the string through, the string continues to be stretched, creating a sawing action which can cut through the intestinal wall.

Luckily the string was removed and Bruce made a full recovery! He was just in this past week for a suture removal and rolled over for belly rubs!

Meet Bruce! He is a 7.5 year old domestic shorthair cat. You would never guess, but this video was taken 2 days after Bruce had emergency surgery. Luckily his owners brought him in as soon as they noticed he wasn’t acting right and it was determined he had an obstruction in his digestive tract. After 24 hours of intravenous fluids and repeated x-rays, it was determined that whatever was stuck was not going to pass on its own.

We will share the culprit of this obstruction in the next post!

Booties aren’t for every dog 😆. Veterinary Nurse Emily dressed her Penelope to protect her paws. Not sure if Penelope really appreciated it, but she looks extra cute!
