This sweet, 7 month old Bloodhound pup, "Klash," was recently a Dr. Keller patient. He was here for a neuter and gastropexy procedure. A gastropexy is an elective procedure done on larger breed dogs to help prevent gastric torsion, if bloat (GDV) occurs later in life. GDV is a life-threatening medical emergency. We are happy to report that Klash is healing great at home, and has even resumed his "busy" day to day activities. 😍
"Darcy" proves you don't need all 4 legs to lead a happy life! After limping intermittently for 1.5 years, it was discovered that she had a large sarcoma above her right elbow. Dr. Gallagher felt the best course of action for her was to amputate that leg to give her the best quality of life going forward. Mom reports that losing that leg hasn't slowed her ball chasing ability down one bit! 🎈
