Meet Marley 🐶
Marley came in this week to see Vet Matt because she was vomiting blood and struggling to breathe, but after a consultation with Matt, he quickly realised that Marley had some left sided nasal irritation. This was causing the blood to run down into Marley's throat - so of course when poor Marley was vomiting, the blood was making its way out. 🤮🙁
Matt decided to admit Marley to pop her under a general anaesthetic 💉 so he could get a closer look on what was causing these symptoms. He soon discovered that Marley had not one, but two 10cm grass blades lodged up her nose. These were safely extracted and Marley's nasal cavity flushed! 🌿
Marley went home that evening with some anti-inflammatories and her owners were advised to keep an eye on her as although there was unlikely to be any more, this could not be completely ruled out without a scope. Thankfully, Marley will make a full recovery! ❤️🩹
Following on from our earlier post - It’s a reminder that even small things like grass can cause serious problems. Grass blades can irritate your dog's nasal passages, leading to bleeding, discomfort, or even vomiting. If your dog is showing signs like these, it could be more than just a simple issue—get them checked by a vet! 🐶
Stay vigilant and keep your furry friends safe from unexpected hazards in nature! 🌿🐾
