Sometimes we have to save our own pets. Last week Dr. Angela brought in Muji, a 11 year old family pet for blood test and ultrasound/xray due to subtle signs of discomfort, having difficulty walking and an intra abdominal mass that was palpated at home. Ultrasound and xray reveals splenic tumor. The position of the the spleen and condition of the surrounding organs were also evaluated. Splenic mass can become quite large which if it ruptured, could cause internal bleeding and death. Thankfully we caught it in time, our team then performed a very succesful exploratory-lap and splenectomy(removal of spleen). After the operation we have sent the spleen for biopsy and are hoping that it is benign.

Today Muji is on her 7th day post-operation and we are delighted to share that she made a remarkable recovery. She has been the most amazing, bravest little lady and has soldiered on. 11 years old but young at heart.

We are so grateful that we can bring the care and expertise we would want for our pets to your pets as well here in Maxwell animal clinic.

Meet Charlotte 👋🏻

You’d never know that Charlotte is 11 years & 5 months old because of her brightness!

Few weeks ago Charlotte was brought in to our clinic because she wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t walk properly. Learning her estrous cycle history we did a quick ultrasound scans and blood tests that confirmed she had a very serious illness: pyometra. Pyometra is a life threatening infection in the uterus and requires prompt treatment.The preferred treatment is to surgically remove the uterus and ovaries by performing an ovariohysterectomy (spay).

Thankfully, the procedure (ovatiohysterecyomy) went well. Given her age, we had to be particularly careful with our meds and observe her closely during the procedure. Charlotte did great during surgery and was a superstar while in with us for the day. She recovered well at home and passed her post-op last week.

We are thrilled to report that Bailey had a smooth recovery from her surgery and was looking very happy right after her operation.

This 4.7kg shih tzu underwent a cystotomy procedure, to remove 😲 1 large and 2 medium size stones that overstreched her small bladder!

Bailey was super brave during her stay even after the surgery and her tail didn’t stop wagging

Successful Inguinal Hernial Repair with cryptorchidism and Castration in a 3 year old corgi.

Jco was presented to the clinic with a big flabby lump on his left groin area. Last year Jco was already diagnosed with cryptorchidism after the owner noticed a small buldge on his left groin until recently, the owner observed the small bulge developed into a bigger soft lump. Jco was also experiencing anorexia, vomiting and hematuria. After physical exam, ultrasound shows the retained te**is is surrounded by a large fatty tissue in the groin area. Surgery was recommended to removed the te**is and to check the groin area. Through the surgery it was confirmed that Jco has a inguinal hernia with cryptorchidism and the fats surrounding the te**is was actually omentum(mesh-like fat from the abdominal cavity). The defect was corrected by Inguinal Herniorraphy (hernial repair) and castration was also performed.

Much like humans, dogs and cats can suffer from hernias. An inguinal hernia is a condition in which the abdominal contents protrude through the inguinal canal or inguinal ring, an opening which occurs in the muscle wall in the groin area.

Symptoms and Types

* Symptoms seen with an uncomplicated inguinal hernia are: A soft swelling in the groin area, which may occur on one or both sides of the body

* Symptoms seen with a complicated inguinal hernia may include: Swelling in the groin area, which may become painful and warm to the touch

Vomiting
Pain
Frequent attempts to urinate
Bloody urine
Lack of appetite
In Depression

Causes
In dogs, inguinal hernias may be acquired (not present at birth but developing later in life) or congenital (present at birth). Factors which predispose a dog to develop an acquired inguinal hernia include trauma, obesity, and pregnancy.

Most inguinal hernias are uncomplicated and cause no symptoms other than a swelling in the groin area. However, if contents from the abdominal cavity (such as the bladder, a loop of intestines or the uterus) pass through the opening and become entrapped there, the situation can become life-threatening.

Diagnosis
Inguinal hernias can usually be diagnosed by finding the swelling caused by the hernia on a physical examination. However, sometimes contrast radiographs (X-rays) or an abdominal ultrasound are needed to determine which abdominal contents, if any, are entrapped.

Treatment
Treatment is surgical correction of the opening and replacement of abdominal contents back into the abdomen if necessary.

Prevention
Because inguinal hernias can be hereditary, dogs with these hernias should not be bred.

Meet Bruce! 🐾

Bruce had his castration procedure and dental prophylaxis with us! He was a very good boy and loved the camera 📸

What is Castration?

Castration, is the surgical removal of the testicles. Removing the testicles removes the primary source of testosterone in the body, resulting in changes in s*x drive, hormone-related behaviors, and hormone-related health concerns. Castration is often considered part of responsible pet ownership. Much research has been done about the health and behavioral impacts of castration in pet dogs.

Advantages of Castration
• Prevents testicular cancer
• Can reduce hormone related aggression and dominance
• Prevent unwanted pregnancies
• Reduce the likelihood of prostate problems as well as hormone-related tumors of the perineum later in life.

This sweet schnauzer was here last week because she needed a cystotomy (a surgery to remove a stone from her urinary bladder).

Ginger a 4 years old female dog was brought to our practice by her owner last week as she was showing oliguria (low urine output). Following a few tests Ginger was diagnosed with urolithiasis( formation of urinary stones in the bladder). Cystotomy procedure was recommended to surgically removed the bladder stones and done the next day.

Ginger made a speedy recovery and getting her sutures removed today. We are glad to hear that she is better!

Koji was in with us last week for cryptorchid castration, he recovered well at home and is now ready for suture removal.

Cryptorchidism is a condition found in male dogs in which one or both testicles have not descended into the testicular sac (sc***um). Testicles normally descend between 6 and 16 weeks of age.

The only treatment for cryptorchidism is surgery. The dog should be neutered to avoid breeding, and to prevent testicular torsion and testicular cancer, which typically affect the undescended testicle.

Surgery can be complicated because the undescended testicle must be located first.

Ceruminous gland adenocarcinoma
and TECA surgery in dog

As pet owners, we want to ensure the well-being of our furry friends that's why we take them to regular check up, well-balanced diet, and give them a comfortable living home. However there are times that even the most attentive owners may not be aware of a problem such as a simple ear infection. An ear infection is a common problem, that can be of various reasons like bacteria, yeast, or parasites. It's important to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Ignoring an ear infection or worse attempting to self medicate can lead to serious consequences. Note that some medications that may work for humans are not recommended for use in pets. It's not like "one size fits all" approach in dealing with ear problem medications. Post treatment check up or follow up care is necessary to ensure that the problem has been fully addressed or adjustment in medications may be given.
While ear infections are usually treatable, in rare cases, a chronic infection may lead to a more serious condition known as ceruminous carcinoma.

The exact causes of ear tumors are not straightforward, but there is evidence that that chronic inflammation (swelling) of the ceruminous glands that line the ear canal or recurrent ear infections, is a risk factor. It can lead to abnormal growth of tissue and eventually into the formation of a tumor.

Ceruminous gland adenocarcinoma is a rare cancerous (malignant) tumor locally aggressive and can invade nearby structures including the bones of the skull. These tumors also have the potential to metastasize (spread) to the nearby lymph nodes, salivary glands, or lungs.

Diagnosis of these tumors requires a biopsy. The tumors may be visualized with deep otoscopic examination, which typically requires sedation or anesthesia. Advanced imaging with CT or MRI may also be recommended to identify the extent of the tumor. A biopsy can be taken via surgery. Chest x-rays are usually performed in patients with malignant tumors to determine if the cancer has metastasized (spread).

Surgical removal of benign ear canal tumors may be accomplished via lateral ear canal resection for access to the mass. For malignant tumors, aggressive surgery is the gold standard for treatment, particularly if the tumor has already caused irreparable damage to the ear canal. The procedure, which is often referred to as Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA), includes ablation (surgical excision) of the ear canal and cleaning out the inner part of the ear (bulla osteotomy). Unfortunately, the recurrence rate for malignant ear tumors is >75%.

In some cases, radiation therapy may be performed to slow down the tumor growth and alleviate pain. If biopsy results show the tumor to be very aggressive or there is already evidence showing metastasis, chemotherapy may be recommended. The prognosis of ear tumors in dogs and cats will depend on several factors and includes the animal’s age, health, location of the tumor, and the type of tumor.
The prognosis is worse when the tumor has spread to the inner parts of the ear. Prognosis is poor when cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, lungs, or blood vessels.

Our new Parvo Survivor!!!! HERSHIE 🐕 ❤💥

Oreo and Sonny #ParvoSurvivors These 2 fighter puppies spend days in the clinic for IV rehydration fluids and IV antibiotic to survive parvo viral infection. Parvo is every pet and owner's worst nightmare. It is a particularly deadly disease in young puppies with up to 80% fatality rate. Oftentimes once the puppy has symptoms of parvo they can die within 48 - 72 hours when left untreated. This virus can live in the ground for years and is HIGHLY contagious. Do NOT let unvaccinated puppies come into contact with other dogs until they have at least 3 sets of vaccines. Do NOT let them wander outside. All it takes is an infected dog strolling through your yard to potentially infect your dogs. HOW DO I PROTECT MY PUPPY FROM PARVO? PREVENTION is the key. The top way to prevent parvo is to get your dog vaccinated. Puppies should get their first dose between six and eight weeks of age. They'll then need boosters every two to three weeks until they completed their series of shots. If your puppy is younger than 6 weeks please bring them to a vet for a check up and deworming. If you are unsure of your puppies age then pop in for a check up with a vet.

As we celebrate our 1st year anniversary by the end of the month, We will be giving FREE ANTIRABIES vaccination for the first (30) patients (dog/cat) on May 30, 2022 Free Antirabies guidelines: 》all pets must be healthy and free from any form of disease 》dog/cat must be atleast 3 months old and above, without recent vaccination (less than a week) 》only pets with updated deworming (atleast 1 week prior) and updated 5in1 vaccine for dogs, and cat vaccine for cats can avail. 》one pet per household only Should you have more questions, just send us a message on our FB Page.
