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 ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Youโ€™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 wasnโ€™t feeling well and couldnโ€™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.

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.

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
โ€ข Prevents testicular cancer
โ€ข Can reduce hormone related aggression and dominance
โ€ข Prevent unwanted pregnancies
โ€ข 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.
