When emergencies strike, pets often retreat to familiar safe spaces. Note all the sneaky spots - under beds, in closets, behind furniture - anywhere your furry friend seeks comfort when scared.

This simple step could save precious minutes during an evacuation! 🏠🐾

As some of you saw in our post last week, Ruru had been battling parvovirus and was facing a dangerously low white blood cell count. Due to the severity of her condition, we administered a plasma transfusion. Thankfully, the procedure went smoothly, and follow-up blood work began to show signs of improvement.

💪 Over the next few days, Ruru continued to make steady progress. Her blood glucose levels normalized, her energy started to return, and she began moving around more, barking, and even showing interest in food again.

Ruru remained in our care for 11 days. Once she was eating on her own, bright, alert, and stable, she was discharged to continue her recovery at home as an outpatient. She went home with a GI diet safe for puppies, a probiotic, and an antibiotic to help resolve her diarrhea.

This brave little fighter truly impressed us, and we’re so happy to see her reunited with her loving family. Puppies treated promptly who make it through the first 3–4 days of parvovirus often go on to make a full recovery. While dogs who recover from the virus are typically immune to reinfection, they can still shed the virus and remain contagious for up to six weeks.

It’s important to note that parvovirus is extremely resilient—resistant to many common disinfectants and capable of surviving in the environment for months under the right conditions. All washable surfaces should be cleaned with a 1:10 bleach solution or an accelerated hydrogen peroxide. Non-cleanable items should be disposed of in a way that prevents any exposure to other animals. We urge pet owners to thoroughly wash their hands and clean the soles of their shoes before leaving the area where a contaminated dog has been.

Ruru still has a bit of a road ahead, but we’re relieved to see her past the worst and on the mend. We wish this sweet girl a smooth, speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her again for her follow-up blood work. 🐾💜

Meet Ruru! 🐾

This sweet girl came to us for an emergency visit at just 10 weeks old after she began vomiting, having diarrhea, and stopped eating. Given her young age, the fact that she had only received her first DHPP booster, and the severity of her symptoms, we asked her owners to bring her in immediately and call us from the car upon arrival. Once they arrived, one of our staff members, fully suited in PPE, went out to test Ruru for parvovirus. She tested positive.

Canine parvovirus, or “parvo,” is an extremely contagious viral disease that causes severe gastrointestinal illness in young or unvaccinated dogs. Puppies who are not fully vaccinated are at highest risk. A dog infected with parvovirus may initially develop a fever, become lethargic, and stop eating. In the first 24–48 hours, frequent vomiting usually occurs, followed by bloody diarrhea as the disease progresses. Without prompt and aggressive treatment, the dehydration, septic shock, and cardiac stress caused by the virus can be fatal. Parvovirus has an estimated 80% mortality rate if left untreated, making immediate veterinary care essential.

Ruru was brought into our isolation unit and admitted for hospitalization and intensive supportive care. We placed an IV catheter and began administering fluids to combat the dehydration caused by her vomiting and diarrhea. She received several IV medications, including anti-nausea drugs, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories to help reduce the irritation in her stomach and intestines. Because she wasn’t eating, we also placed a nasogastric (NG) tube to provide the nutrition she needed.

Throughout her hospitalization, we closely monitored Ruru’s glucose and electrolyte levels and repeated her bloodwork multiple times to assess any changes. Unfortunately, she remained in critical condition. Her bloodwork revealed non-regenerative anemia, characterized as hypochromic and microcytic, as well as leukopenia meaning a dangerously low white blood cell count, which severely compromised her immune system and left her more vulnerable to secondary infections.

Stay tuned for part two and see how Ruru recovered!! 💪🐶💖

Meet Asterix! 🐶

This nine-week-old Australian Cattle Dog came in for an emergency visit after his owners noticed he was off balance and had glazed-over eyes. They acted quickly and brought him in. During the exam, we learned Asterix has a habit of pica (eating non-food items) so we started with bloodwork and abdominal radiographs.

His bloodwork was normal, but X-rays showed a large amount of foreign material in his small intestine. While in the clinic, Asterix vomited, and the strong scent of ma*****na suggested he had ingested some while out on a walk.

Ma*****na affects the brain by altering chemical messengers like dopamine and serotonin. Its main psychoactive component, THC, is stored in fat-rich tissues and takes time to be cleared by the liver and kidneys. Symptoms of intoxication can include wobbliness, disorientation, vomiting, and in severe cases, seizures or coma. ⚠️

Asterix was hospitalized and started on IV fluids to help flush out the toxins. A urine drug screen ruled out other substances. He was also given anti-nausea medication and diazepam to help with anxiety and muscle tremors. We closely monitored his vitals and blood pressure throughout.

Thankfully, Asterix made a quick recovery and was back to his playful self the next day. We wish this sweet pup all the best! 🐕💫

🐾 Meet Berny!

Berny came in for triage after developing a fever two days after delivering a healthy litter of nine puppies. She had been seen at her regular veterinary clinic the day prior, where initial diagnostics were performed. At that time, she was sent home with an antibiotic, and an anti-inflammatory. However, her condition did not improve, prompting her to be brought in for further care.

Upon presentation, Berny was admitted for evaluation and treatment of several postpartum complications. These included mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary glands, suspected metritis, which is a uterine infection, as well as pancreatitis and signs of systemic illness such as fever, lethargy, and a poor appetite.

Bloodwork showed mild anemia, signs of systemic inflammation or infection, and an initially low platelet count, which thankfully improved during her stay. Her calcium levels were low on admission, and pancreatic lipase levels were found to be significantly elevated, supporting a diagnosis of pancreatitis. A cytologic evaluation of her vaginal discharge revealed intracellular bacteria, confirming metritis. Berny’s hydration status, electrolyte levels, and overall response to treatment were monitored closely throughout her hospitalization.

To help reduce inflammation and pain from mastitis, warmed cabbage leaves were applied to the affected mammary glands. These were held in place with a wrap for up to four hours at a time, followed by a four-hour rest period before reapplication.

Once Berny was stable and showing signs of improvement, she was discharged with a care plan to continue her recovery at home. She was sent home with several medications and was prescribed a low-fat diet, essential for supporting her recovery, especially in light of her elevated pancreatic enzyme levels.

We’re wishing this sweet and resilient mama, along with her precious pups, a smooth and speedy recovery! 🐶💕

Meet Sweetpea! 🐾

Sweetpea is a sweet-natured, 12-year-old husky who recently visited us for surgery to remove a subcutaneous mass located on the left side of her back. While the mass wasn’t cancerous or immediately harmful, her owner made the compassionate decision to have it removed in order to improve Sweetpea’s comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life. 🐶

Given Sweetpea’s age, we took extra precautions to ensure her safety throughout the procedure. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork was conducted to assess her internal health and suitability for anesthesia. The results showed mild elevations in ALKP, ALT, and bilirubin (important indicators of liver function). These findings were carefully reviewed and discussed with her owner, and with informed consent, we moved forward with surgery.

We’re pleased to report that Sweetpea’s surgery went smoothly! A few drains were placed to assist with post-operative healing, and she was stable enough to be treated on an outpatient basis. She was sent home the same day with an antibiotic, pain medication, and a cone to prevent her from interfering with the surgical site.

Three days later, Sweetpea returned for a follow-up appointment to have her drains removed. She was already showing great progress. Eight days after that, she came in for her final recheck and suture removal, healing beautifully and clearly feeling much more comfortable. 🐕💪

We’re thrilled with Sweetpea’s recovery and proud to see her back on her paws, feeling lighter, happier, and more mobile. She’s a resilient girl, and we’re so glad we could help give her a boost toward a more comfortable life! 💜
