Meet Bucky!
Bucky came into BAH as he was vomiting most days and his owners were getting concerned π
He was still eating and drinking, his bright bubbly pointer self and toileting as per usual however every day he would vomit and his owners wanted to know why π€·ββοΈ
Bucky, like most dogs, loves to play with a ball!
Unfortunately for Bucky the nearly 3 year old German short haired pointer, it appeared via xray, he may have infact accidentally swallowed his ball while playing! π
Dr Max assessed Bucky and decided further work up and imaging was required!
After xray imaging was done, and the problem had been identified, due to the size and shape of the item it was discussed it needed to be removed before it caused a complete blockage in Buckys digestive tract and made him very unwell.
Emesis (induction of vomiting) was performed. If Buckly was able to bring it up the same way it went down he would avoid surgery.. unfortunately for Bucky this did not happen π
Then under general anaesthetic Dr Max and Dr Chris tried to remove the ball via Gastroscopy. Unfortunately, the ball was solid slippery plastic which could not be grabbed.
Which meant one thing for Bucky.. surgery.
An exploratory laparotomy was performed to successfully remove the plastic ball from Buckys stomach!
Bucky's family had not noticed him swallow the ball and did not realise it was missing - Bucky is lucky he was able to swallow the ball successfully as if it was any bigger this may have occluded his airways and been a life or death situation π
Bucky is also lucky his owners noticed the unusual vomiting pattern and sought veterinary medical attention immediately as this ball could have moved to his intestinal tract and made him extreamly sick quickly π
We are pleased to say after his surgery Bucky is feeling much better and back to his normal happy self! π
Dogs love to play with toys and balls however it is recommended to always supervise play time especial
π₯ BAH has a Video Otoscope!! π₯
Poor Archie had been shaking his head!
His owners made an appointment at BAH to get them checked out.
After an assessment with Dr Hayley, it was agreed further investigation was required to solve his problem as his ears were very sore to touch π
Under general anaesthetic, Dr Hayley was able to get a very clear picture of what was going on in Archies ears by using the video otoscope!
An otoscope is a tool often used in veterinary medicine to look down a patient's ears. Unfortunately, visibility can be challenging especially if the ear is full of muck!
BAH now has a video otoscope which means we are able to flush the ear and clean it out as well as assess the integrity of the ear at the same time!
During Archies procedure Dr Hayley not only was able to clean out the ear and any infection thoroughly, she also found a grass seed in there!
Archie is feeling much better after his procedure and no longer shaking his head ππ
Days since a puppy attack = 0 π
We have to be honest though, this tally rarely moves off zero π
Here is Dr Max being attacked with kisses by adorable little Mack π π
Too cute!
Is your pets flea and worm prevention up to date? π€
Did you know that when you find a flea on your pet, there is never just one π
Female fleas lay on average 20-30 eggs per day!! That is roughly one every hour, and as those eggs hatch and those fleas also become mature, the population increases significantly at a very fast rate!
Prevention is the key! π
Preventatives can be as easy as a tasty chew every month or a topical treatment, which is simply placed on the back of your pets neck!
So, is your pet's prevention up to date?
