A Feel Good Story for your Wednesday 🥰

"Jessie" the "Border Collie" visited our clinic on Saturday. Jessie shares each week with a different student from his school, going on adventures and having fun. This week, his student wanted to make sure he was in tip top shape and brought him to see Nurse Kim for a physical health exam. Little Jessie's teeth were clean, his heart sounded good and his temperature was normal. We are pleased to say he was given a clean bill of health (and lots of treats!) 🐶

We see a future vet in the making here and just had to share this wonderful story with you! It certainly made our day ☀️

🚨 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐠 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 🚨 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝐷𝑜𝑔 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐵𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑡!

Bloat (Gastric Dilatation Volvulus or GDV) is a life-threatening emergency in dogs, especially large, deep-chested breeds. It can happen suddenly and requires immediate vet care.

The good news? There's a preventive surgery called a gastropexy that can protect your dog from this deadly condition! 🙌

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐱𝐲?
A simple procedure that attaches the stomach to the body wall, preventing it from twisting. This surgery provides lifetime protection in 95% of cases!

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐠𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐱𝐲?
🐾 Saves lives and prevents suffering
🐾 Offers peace of mind for pet owners
🐾 Avoids emergency situations and the associated stress and costs
🐾 Quick recovery, often done with routine desexing

𝐈𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤?
Large and deep-chested breeds are most susceptible, but any dog can develop bloat. Talk to your vet to assess your dog's individual risk factors.

𝐷𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦! Learn more about this life-saving surgery on our website and schedule a consultation today. Your dog will thank you! 🐾

🐶 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐩, 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐩 & 𝐉𝐮𝐦𝐩? Luxating Patella Explained 🐶

If your dog is limping or skipping, they might have a luxating patella (dislocated kneecap). This is common in small breeds, especially Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, and Toy Poodles.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐮𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚?

🐾The kneecap slips out of its groove, causing pain and mobility issues.
🐾Can be present at birth or develop due to injury.
🐾Often caused by misalignment of the ligament that connects the kneecap to the shinbone.

𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚:

🧐 Limping or lameness (sometimes on and off)
🧐 Skipping or hopping
🧐 Lifting a hind leg
🧐 Discomfort when the knee is touched
🧐 In severe cases, inability to put weight on the affected leg

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝?
Your vet will examine your dog and may take X-rays to assess the severity. Luxating patellas are graded on a scale of I (mild) to IV (severe).

𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:
🩺 Mild cases (Grades I-II): Rest, anti-inflammatories, joint supplements, and physical therapy may be enough.
🩺 Severe cases (Grades III-IV): Surgery is often needed to realign the kneecap and prevent further damage.

𝐸𝘢𝑟𝘭𝑦 𝑑𝘪𝑎𝘨𝑛𝘰𝑠𝘪𝑠 𝑎𝘯𝑑 𝑡𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑡𝘮𝑒𝘯𝑡 𝑎𝘳𝑒 𝑘𝘦𝑦! Regular vet check-ups are important for catching potential issues early on.

Dusty the French Bulldog, visited tonight in an emergency after his Dad saw his face swell up after a playing outside with what we think was a bee 🐝 😳

Dusty was given 2 injections to reduce the swelling and irritation and is thankfully now back to normal 😊

Seeing Dusty's face so puffy got us thinking about how much this beautiful boy has changed over the last 9 months! So considering it is "Throw back Tuesday," here are some photos of Dusty as a teeny puppy (stolen by our Practice Manager Bec of course!) and of him today as his poor puffy face 🥰

He has almost grown into those ears! 😉

Meet Bob and Gus, two adorable British Bulldogs who recently wiggled their way into our hearts – and our operating room! These two cuties were suffering from recurring tail infections due to their breed's unique anatomy.

But no more! Thanks to a new surgical procedure called a "caudectomy" offered right here at Lynbrook Vet, Bob and Gus are now living their best lives, free from itchy, uncomfortable infections and showing off their new booties!

Lexi, an adorable 4-month-old Cavoodle, was caught in a classic puppy predicament – playing with something she shouldn't have! While having a blast with a ball of thread, she accidentally swallowed part of it... along with the attached needle!

Luckily, Lexi's quick-thinking parents brought her to our Lynbrook Vet practice. X-rays confirmed the sewing needle was in her tummy. Our skilled team swiftly performed surgery to remove the needle and thread, and Lexi is now back home, recovering like a champ.

Lexi's adventure is a reminder that puppies can get into all sorts of mischief! If you're curious about other curious things our furry friends have swallowed, check out Dr. Kunal's blog on our website for more stories just like Lexi's.
