Many of our patients that come to us because they have eaten foreign material are dogs. They just LOVE to eat the weirdest things! Cats love to eat things too but usually it’s strings, ribbons, elastics and thread, etc. Livingston is a very young, sweet boy that decided to snack on something very unusual for a cat, a green silicone pot scrubber! Check out the radiograph picture to see if you can spot it! Dr. Spooner and Dr. Schwarz went to surgery with Livingston to safely remove it. Can you also spot the suction cup in the baggie? @ Burlington Veterinary Emergency and Referral Hospital

Please meet Julianne! She’s here tonight for repeat blood work to make sure her kidney values are normal after accidentally eating Advil. Being such a little dog even one pill would be a toxic dose for her.

Patient Story! Elsa was brought to our hospital one Sunday evening because she was contracting for 2 hours between puppies. She had 4 puppies at home and was still contracting without any production of another puppy. The owners knew there were 10-11 puppies in the litter, once we reach 2-3 hours without another puppy we start to get worried. We did an abdominal radiograph and noticed the puppy at the birth canal was inappropriately positioned. We tried to manually reposition the puppy, unfortunately, we were unsuccessful and an emergency c-section was our only option. We got Elsa into surgery and successfully retrieved another 6 puppies. Elsa woke up beautifully from her surgery and her 10 healthy puppies were all nursing well. We called a week later for an update just to see how everything was going with this first time mom and her large litter of puppies, so far so good since going home! Dystocia is always scary and because of the quick actions of these owners, they got to bring home 11 healthy happy dogs. Thank you to Elsa's family for letting us share her story :)

Patient Story from Saturday night! Please meet Bear! He is a young Alaskan Malamute. His pet parent noticed that he had a rubber glove hanging out of his mouth and she attempted to take it away, with no success. He had swallowed it! Because the owner had noticed it right away, we were able to induce vomiting with an IV injection of Apo-Morphine and the rubber glove came up with his vomit, completely intact. This option is always better than the alternative which could have been required surgery to remove it after it may have caused an obstruction. Lucky for the owner that Bear has a habit of bringing his "chew toys" for his owners to see first, before ingesting them!!

Patient Story! Please meet Oscar, he is a 5 month old Bernese Mountain Dog. He presented to us with pneumonia for overnight care from MacKay's Animal Hospital. Dr. Gregg examined him, he was lethargic, and didn't even wag his tail when we called his name. He had a hacking cough that the pet parent had noticed and had a high temp of 40.4C . He was coughing so much that he was nauseous and bringing up small amounts of stomach content. His blood work revealed a high white blood cell count consistent with pneumonia diagnosis and his radiographs from his primary care veterinarian also show a suspicion of pneumonia as well. By the time morning rolled around his temperature normalized and he was wagging his tail again! He was sent back to Mackay's Animal Hospital in the morning for recheck radiographs and ongoing care. We hope Oscar is recovering well at home!
