A big time BBQ season emergency we see often. 🌽

"Corn Cobs a Hidden Danger for Pets" 🌽

Patient Update: Bruno

This is Bruno, a very handsome, 2 year old, Golden Retriever. He presented to Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic after eating a corn cob and started vomiting. X-rays revealed a corn cob gastrointestinal obstruction and surgery was needed to remove it. He is recovering well from his surgery in this picture.

Corn cobs are a common summer danger we see in the ER. When swallowed, they can get lodged in the stomach or intestines, causing pain, vomiting, lethargy, and life-threatening complications if not treated quickly.

💡 To prevent this kind of emergency:

-Never leave corn cobs within your pet’s reach
-Dispose of them in a secure trash can
-Remind guests not to feed table scraps

We’re happy to report that Bruno’s surgery went well and he’s now back home recovering well 💙.

If your pet ever gets into something they shouldn’t, Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic is here when you need us.

One big part of pet ownership is making sure your pet is up to date on its vaccinations. Vaccinations protect your pet from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, keeping them safe and healthy. They also help prevent the spread of illness to other animals, contributing to a healthier community for all pets. Call our vet clinic to make an appointment. ripleyvetclinic.ca

One of the factors that play an extremely important role in your pet's health is what they eat. While you may want to treat them to some things on your dinner plate here and there, there are some foods that you should always avoid feeding your pet.

View the list of poisonous foods to avoid, including: chocolate, xylitol, alcohol, avocado, coffee, caffeine, citrus, coconut, coconut oil, grapes, raisin, macadamia nuts, milk and dairy.
