Long post ahead but please do take time to read it.

At 5:48:31 PM, an unexpected turn of events unfolded in our clinic. As our handler and vet nurse attempted to place a patient into his cage, they noticed he had suddenly gone limp. Quickly, they placed him back on the examination table for assessment, only to discover he wasn't breathing and lacked a heartbeat.

By 5:48:42 PM, Rolly rushed to alert our veterinary technician, Orlyn, and the on duty veterinarians, Dr. Ricky and Dr. Rhianne.

At approximately 5:48:52 PM, Vet Tech Orlyn was notified and promptly gathered emergency drugs, endotracheal tubes, an Ambu bag, and other life-saving instruments required for Advanced Life Support (ALS).

At 5:48:55 PM, Rolly interrupted Dr. Ricky and Dr. Rhianne as they were in an examination room discussing a surgical plan with another patient's owners. Hearing about the critical emergency, they immediately rushed to the scene, already shouting out instructions.

By 5:49:57 PM, Nestor continued to perform cardiac compressions while Dr. Ricky readied for intubation and Dr. Rhianne began administering emergency medication.

At 5:50:47 PM, the patient was successfully intubated.

By 5:51:25 PM, Dr. Ricky took over the cardiac compressions, Dr. Rhianne initiated manual ventilation, and Orlyn stood standby to administer another round of emergency drugs every three minutes.

At 5:51:45 PM, Rolly prepared the suction machine, ready to use it if required.

Finally, at 5:54:33 PM, Return os spontaneous circulation was evident. Orlyn confirmed the presence of a stable heartbeat, and Dr. Rhianne used suction through the endotracheal tube as crackles were detected during auscultation.

After this critical intervention, the patient received supplemental oxygen and was closely monitored on a patient monitor.

Unfortunately, even with all out effort in performing CPR, the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiopulmonary arrest is about 35%-55% only. Furthermore, the survival to discharge rate is only 6%-19%.

Our clinic does not promise our patients guarantees that all cases will have great outcomes. What we guarantee is that we are trained to provide our patients with the best possible care, utilizing medically sound treatment options, and making an all-out effort to give their pets the highest possible chance of a great outcome.

At our clinic, we frequently perform routine surgeries like enterotomy. An enterotomy involves making an incision in the intestine to remove a foreign object.

Let me introduce you to Angel, an English Bulldog who was experiencing lethargy and difficulty defecating. Radiographs revealed a solid mass in her large intestine obstructing her bowel movements.

Initially, we attempted less invasive treatments using laxatives and suppositories, but these efforts proved unsuccessful. Angel continued to strain without any relief. As a result, we recommended an enterotomy to address her condition.

During the procedure, Dr. Ricky and Dr. Shawndee successfully removed a solid hairball and several chewed-up plastic straws, which were causing the blockage.

Thankfully, Angel recovered well from anesthesia and was on her way home just 24 hours later. We're happy to see her back to her energetic self!

Meet Miley. Miley arrived for a labor watch under our care. As her labor began, our clinic team was right by her side, closely monitoring both her and her puppies-to-be.

We used ultrasound and Doppler to monitor the puppies' heartbeats. Despite Miley’s strong efforts, her puppies proved to be a bit too large for a natural delivery. When one of the puppies showed signs of distress, we promptly alerted Miley’s owners.

Understanding the urgency, Miley's owners gave their consent for a cesarean section. Our team swung into action, preparing the surgery room. From the sterilized instruments to the anesthesia and medications, everything was set to make the surgery as clean and smooth as possible to prevent any infections.

In addition to the cesarean, Miley’s owners opted for an ovariohysterectomy (spay) to prevent future unplanned pregnancies. Thanks to the care of our team, headed by lead surgeon Dr. Rhianne, Miley and her adorable trio of puppies came through the surgery with flying colors.

The sight of Miley and her precious puppies, healthy and thriving, warmed our hearts as they headed home. Here's a photo of Miley and her little ones on the day they were discharged.
