We are back!!! We had an absolute blast at VMX, the largest North American Veterinary Conference that is hosted in Orlando, Florida.

We walked over 12,000 steps each day, that is how big this conference was!

We learned so much especially about stomatitis, dentistry, surgery and how to make our favorite breed breathe better!!!!

On our arrival we were greeted by these two young boys, at times you may see these two roaming around the clinic.

Post-op care is important. All of our surgery pets get a cerenia injection, which helps with nausea and vomiting that can occur with general anesthesia.

Our recovery team gives our patients some food to nibble on post-op. Sparkle just got spayed and is a hungy hippo 🤩

Meet Mocha!!!

Mocha was adopted from the Portsmouth Humane Society earlier this year. She is a spicy kitty, but one day in December her mom noticed she wasn't acting herself and not eating normally. Her mom asked us to perform an exam to see if something was going on. In our x-rays we found hair ties in her stomach and small intestines which we quickly removed through emergency surgery.

By bringing Mocha in when she noticed a difference in her behavior, Mocha's mom saved her life.

Here is Mocha back to her normal spicy self 💜

Meet Gogi...we have been seeing this big boy for awhile, we had the pleasure of neutering him a year ago. He was very anxious for his first visit, but now he loves coming to see us!

He love us so much, he thought it would be a great idea to eat part of a chicken bone. Dad reached out to us after hours and we told him what to look for - vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea. Well the next morning, his parents called to let us know he vomited, but was acting like his crazy self, so we discussed taking some x-rays in a day since he was feeling okay. A few hours later we got another call that Gogi had diarrhea and vomiting, so we said come on in! We were able to fit Gogi in for a x-rays, cerenia injection, and a probiotic.

His x-rays were clear of a foreign body, so no surgery for our handsome Gogi!

Dior was one of our first patients that we used our new CO2 laser on to surgically correct his stenotic nares and elongated soft palate.

During our first consultation appointment, Dior was anxious and you could hear him breathing a mile away. Dior needed to have a nose job and resection of his soft palate. After surgery, the difference was amazing! The heavy panting and breathing stopped, and the effort for him to breath was decreased dramatically.

Today, we were happy to see Dior for a dental cleaning and a surgical extraction (he broke a tooth). Our dental technician, Marcie, mentioned how much easier it was to intubate him once the large section of excess soft tissue was removed from the previous surgery. Dior did wonderfully today, and we were excited to see how well he was doing!!!

We are so pleased that we could help Dior live a better life, as his dad says he runs around happy as can be, breathing better and easier!

If you're smushed nose dog could use some breathing relief, give us a call for a consultation! We are SO HAPPY to be able to offer this service to improve their lives.

***BOAS - what is it and why should I care???***

IF YOU HAVE A FRENCH BULLDOG, PUG, ENGLISH BULLDOG, PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!

Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) refers to a condition primarily seen in brachycephalic (short-nosed or flat-faced) dog breeds, such as English Bulldogs, Pugs, and French Bulldogs.

Does your dog do any of the following???
-Snoring or noisy breathing
-Coughing or gagging
-Becoming tired quickly or having trouble breathing after moderate activity
-Panting excessively

Anatomical Abnormalities:
1) Stenotic nares - Try breathing with your nose while it is pinched!
2) Elongated soft palate: The soft tissue at the back of the mouth is too long, which can obstruct the airway (snoring sound).
3) Everted laryngeal saccules
4) Hypoplastic trachea

Surgical intervention: In severe cases, surgery may be needed to correct anatomical abnormalities:
Nostril surgery (to widen the nostrils)
Soft palate resection (removal of excess soft palate tissue)
Laryngeal sacculectomy (removal of the everted laryngeal saccules)

At GVC, we perform the nose surgery and the soft palate surgery IF NEEDED at the time of the spay and neuter.

Dogs that undergo surgery can experience significant improvement in their breathing and quality of life, so please make sure you schedule a consultation with us so we can discuss this surgery and the cost associated with it. You paid a lot of money for that Frenchie, so consider the surgery so that the puppy lives a normal healthy long life.
