Surgery of the week! This 11-year-old Australian Cattle Dog may have bitten off more than he could chew when he ingested this car part from his owner's workshop! Our surgeon, Sharlet, had to perform an exploratory laparotomy, which involves making a large incision in the abdomen to examine the tissue inside the dog, after noticing a strange object on diagnostic radiography. We are happy to say that this dude was excited to be going home today to continue his recovery!

✔️Hepatitis. This is another disease that can be fatal. When it isn’t, hepatitis usually results in permanent and irreversible liver damage. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
✔️Parvovirus. Known to cause fatal diarrhoea, the types of dogs that are especially susceptible are puppies, dogs that are immunosuppressed, dogs that are exposed to a large number of other dogs and geriatric dogs. There is also a less common cardiac pathogenicity for this disease.
✔️Parainfluenza. A viral component of kennel cough, this disease is not fatal, however it can cause debilitation that leads to other fatal diseases. Even with treatment there will usually be permanent damage to the respiratory system. This is a highly contagious and extremely debilitating disease.
