Interesting case of the week! Meet Cookie 🍪 She is a 4 year old Rottweiler who was sadly hospitalized due to feeling generally off, inappetence and increasing lethargy. She was diagnosed with IMHA - Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia. IMHA is a disease that attacks the body’s red blood cells, leading to severe anemia. When we saw Cookie she had jaundice meaning that her mucous membranes and skin had turned yellow. You can definitely tell how pale her mucous membranes in her mouth are in the photos. This is due to a lack of red blood cells in her body. Most patients with IMHA will have this disease for life and need long term medication to help stop the body from wrecking its own blood cells. We recheck bloodwork and especially a PCV (Packed Cell Volume) weekly after starting treatments to ensure that the red blood cells are holding. After an emergency stay, 3 blood transfusions and multiple blood tests Cookie seems to be on the mend 🤍🤎

At Argo Vet, we believe in standing with our community - and right now that means standing with Alberta’s teachers. You guide, nurture and shape the next generation every single day. This strike has brought uncertainty and financial stress, and we want to make sure that your pets don’t miss out on the care they deserve. Throughout October we are offering discounted services every Thursday for all teachers - because no one should have to choose between their pet and their livelihood. From one group of heroes to another - we thank you for everything you do! 🍎

INTUBATION 🫁

The first video is an example of what it looks like to intubate a cat 🐈 You can see that there are two pink vocal folds moving at the back of the throat. When we place the tube, we wait until the folds are open. The structures are very sensitive and if touched, can spasm and clamp shut. We spray the folds with Lidocaine spray to numb the area before we place our tube in hopes of minimizing the likelihood of spasms.

The second video is an example of intubation on a dog 🐶 You will notice that you can’t see the vocal folds like in the first video. This patient is a Brachycephalic and has a long soft palate at the back of the throat. You can see it getting caught on the structures below. This condition is what causes the classic sounds made from pugs, frenchies, bulldogs etc. Patients can have this palate trimmed back so that it doesn’t catch and therefore making breathing easier.

Meet Abby! She is an 11 year old Chihuahua who unfortunately has a heart murmur. Heart murmurs are detected when listening to the heart and hearing a “whooping” sound instead of a crisp “lub dub” beat. Heart murmurs are graded on a scale of 1-6 with 1 being the most mild. A murmur sound is caused by blood flowing back into the heart due to abnormalities with the valves.

Abby received a cardiac ultrasound with RVUS to determine the severity of the disease and help guide further treatments. Abby’s owners wanted to pursue a dental surgery for her and heart conditions can increase their anesthetic risk.

Now Abby has a game plan going forward to ensure that her heart is taken care of for years to come ❤️
