🛑 Bloody Picture Ahead! 🛑

Meet Stanley! A few weeks ago he suffered a trauma to his face. His owner hauled him to QVC for the wound to be assessed and treated.

Dr. Lukas Gerdes assessed Stanley and began the task of suturing his face. Facial lacerations can be difficult to suture due to the shape of the head and it being a high motion area.

Stanley was in for his suture removal last week and he is healing up great! He will end up with a bit of scarring due to the nature of the wound, however he will make a full recovery. Stanley’s owner did an excellent job taking care of the wound and ensuring that the sutures held until the recheck and removal appointment.

✨Poppy✨ - an interesting case that we had here at QVC recently!

Poppy presented with lethargy, was off her grain, and was just not herself. Her owner elected to have Dr. Victoria Wallace out to investigate the issue further. On examination, Dr. Victoria found a very distinct “PING” noise on the left side of the body wall. On re**al palpation, a soft structure between the body wall and the rumen was found, as well as little to no f***l output was appreciated. These are classic clinical signs of an LDA - a left displaced abomasum. This needed to be corrected as left untreated, Poppy would die.

Poppy’s owner elected to proceed with surgical correction of this issue. We have attached some photos from the surgery - one is a bit bloody but very interesting! 🤩

Poppy’s owner is happy to report that she is doing great. She is back to her normal self and is spending time in the sun with her calf, Pete. 🐮☀️🩷
