An apple a day… 🍎🍏
Poor Tyson choked on a piece of an apple causing an obstruction to his airway. His mom rushed him right in and out team was able to act quickly to remove the airway obstruction so Tyson could breathe.
Thanks to the quick action of our amazing emergency team Tyson was able to go home in a few hours after what could’ve been a life threatening event.
Little baby Yuno wasn’t feeling well and his parents brought him in for care with our Emergency Department.
After some testing, Yuno was diagnosed with a virus called Panleukopenia. This virus infects and destroys rapidly growing cells, like those in the intestinal tract. It also causes white blood cells levels to drop, leading to lowered levels of immunity and can make infected animals susceptible to other infections.
Thankfully little Yuno’s parents got him in right away and after a few nights in the hospital this little baby is back home with his family 💕🐾
How many puppies do you see? 👀
…. NINE German Shepherd pups!
Some of these pups weren’t feeling well and came to our emergency department for help when they were only 2 weeks old! We were able to treat the puppies and send them home the same day to heal at home. They came back to see us over the weekend to say “Thank You 🐾!"
They are all thriving and loving life at 8 weeks old. ♥️
Cody looks pretty handsome in his cast ⚓️
After taking a tumble, Cody hurt his leg and required X-rays to see the extent of his injury. The X-rays revealed a fracture to his radius and ulna (the two bones below the elbow in the front leg). Cody is now on his way to healing. ❤️🩹🐾

Poor Smokey had a run in with a rattlesnake 😖🐍
Thankfully his parents knew exactly what to do and rushed him in for care. After treatment with Antivenom, pain medications and fluid support, Smokey was able to discharge back to his family within 24 hours!
Rattlesnakes are very common in our surrounding area and are more active during warm weather and the summer months. If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, call Ironhorse Vetcare right away for help!
Chewy receiving his “clap out” from staff at his discharge. We 💕 him!
Chewy came to us after having some vague symptoms of discomfort and a decreased appetite.
Our board certified radiologists did an abdominal ultrasound that revealed Chewy had developed an abscess on his prostate and required emergency surgery to save his life. Our wonderful surgeons performed surgery the same day.
It was a tough surgery and recovery but Chewy, his family, and the team at Ironhorse Vetcare never stopped fighting!
After many days in hospital requiring round the clock intensive care Chewy was discharged to his loving family to finish his healing at home. 💕
Bandersnatch (Bandz) came to see us after he snorted a foxtail up his nose. Our emergency team performed a procedure called a rhinoscopy to remove the foxtail from his nasal passage. A rhinoscopy is a method of using a thin tube-like instrument with a light to look inside the back of the nose.
Bandz and mom are happy to be home!
Double trouble 😈
Comet & Archer came to us after they ingested something they shouldn’t have. Our emergency team got to work and helped them bring back up what the swallowed to avoid any potential harm.
Poor baby Maximus fell down and hurt himself. With some surgery and TLC he is on his road to recovery and back to being a happy, bounding puppy! 💕
Poor Sophie had a bad allergic reaction. 🤕
Acute allergic reactions can happen for a number of reasons and symptoms including localized swelling, hives, vomiting and itchiness. Sometimes allergic reactions can be serious and cause more dangerous complications so it is important to have them checked by a veterinarian.
If your pet is experiencing an allergic reaction give us a call for help!

Then vs Now!
Louie had a run in with a boat propeller two months ago that resulted in a hip luxation, multiple fractures to the leg and foot, as well as aspiration pneumonia. Thanks to our wonderfully skilled emergency and surgery teams, Louie is nearing the end of his road to recovery and healing up well ❤️🩹 Go Louie!
Honey 🍯 was having too much fun and hurt her leg.
This specific injury, a tibial avulsion fracture, can be common in young puppies. Young dogs have an area at the top and bottom of the tibia called the growth plate where the bone grows from. This area of bone is softer than normal bone and more susceptible to fractures.
Excessive force from muscle groups nearby can cause the small fragment of bone to break off. Growth plates will eventually fuse at 8-10 months of age reducing the risk of fractures.
Good news is that surgery is very successful for a happy and active lifestyle in the future!
How adorable is Hoshi?! 💕👀
Hoshi came to us because he was having some stomach upset. Vomiting and diarrhea are common presenting problems for patients to the emergency department. These symptoms are not considered normal in our pets and can mean many different things.
If your pet is experiencing these symptoms give us a call for help!
Beware of Foxtails!
Foxtails are small grass-like barbed weeds that can burrow into your pets causing pain and abscesses. These tricky little plants can make their way into any part of the body but are especially fond of the nose, ears, and in between the toes.
If your pet has a foxtail, give us a call for help!
Cici says she’s sorry for eating that tennis ball 🎾 🥺
Dogs are known for sometimes eating things they shouldn’t! If your pet has ingested a foreign object give us a call today for help!
It’s hot out! 🥵
Protect your pets in this heat by avoiding walks during the heat of the day and keeping paws off hot sidewalks and streets. Walking on these hot sidewalks can cause discomfort, burns, and blisters!
Let’s talk pet insurance!
Pet insurance is a great way to make those tough decisions a bit easier! Pet insurance can help pay for many things, including emergencies and surgeries.
There are many different options out there for pet parents that can fit into all lifestyles and personal needs. Ironhorse Vetcare is able to help work with your insurance companies to ensure you get the best coverage possible!
Sometimes our patients get a little nervous in kennels… and who can ignore that adorable face!
Coco got to hangout with her technicians to get extra cuddles and comfort while she stayed with us 💕
Freyja’s owners recognized something was wrong and rushed her straight to our Emergency Department where we diagnosed her with a GDV.
Gastric Dilation Volvulus (GDV) is a life threatening condition that occurs when a patients stomach becomes dilated (usually with air) and then rotates, which causes increased stomach pressure and compromised blood flow to other organs, such as the spleen, kidney, and intestines. Immediate care and surgical correction is required for life saving treatment.
Symptoms most often include: distended abdomen, restlessness, non-productive retching, excessive drooling, & pain.
Large breed dogs who are deep chested are often most susceptible to this condition. A preventative surgery can be performed in these dogs called a Gastropexy, a procedure in which the stomach is tacked to the abdominal wall to prevent rotation in the future. Our board certified surgeons can perform this procedure using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques!
We are happy to report Freyja is back home and healing 🐾❤️
Our surgery team loves Potato 🥔
Potato was brought to us by Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue for surgery on his broken leg. Our orthopedic surgeon was able to repair the fracture successfully! Now we get to see him back for bandage changes while he heals ❤️🩹
Baby Borscht was arguably the cutest patient of the day on Monday 💕
She received a glowing report of health and is back with Valley Humane Society in Pleasanton and looking for her fur-ever home! 🐾
It takes a team to save lives, and we may be biased but we’re pretty sure we have the best team out there! 🥰
Adorable little Tank came to us after receiving standard vaccinations. Unfortunately he experienced a severe allergic anaphylactic response that resulted in Noncardiogenic Pulmonary Edema, meaning that excess fluid moved into the alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs) causing respiratory changes and difficulty breathing.
Thankfully our team moved quickly and were able to get Tank back to his happy, playful self in less than 24 hours! 🐾

Chewy receiving his “clap out” from staff at his discharge. We 💕 him!
Working in Emergency and Specialty medicine, we do not often get to see our patients as often as their General Practitioners. One of our favorite things is to see our patients continue on to live happy and healthy lives! Meet Fred, a very happy guy who is a few years out from his TPLO surgeries here at Ironhorse Vetcare with the surgery department. Fred’s owners reached out to us to say some kind words and update us on Fred’s adventures since we last saw him. “Fred is going to be 6 years old this summer, and he still has puppy-like happiness over the simplest things. We are talking about how he sounds in circles with happiness and how this wouldn’t have been possible if we hadn’t had the surgeries… the bottom line is that the TPLO surgeries were worth every penny. To see him act with pure joy like this was worth all the money and recovery. We wanted to let you know that we are very thankful to your clinic and Dr. Wignall for allowing Fred to live such a happy life”. We 💕 Fred! #ironhorsevetcare #comestayheal #pitbull #success #successstory #happy #dogs #fun #tplo #surgery #kneesurgery
This is Luna! She was hospitalized for a total of 7 days! She presented to us for a decrease in appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. We ran multiple blood panels, radiographs, and even had an abdominal ultrasound done within the first 2 days of her being hospitalized. Despite running all those diagnostics and putting Luna on multiple medications she continued to decline. We placed a rectal catheter due to the severity of her diarrhea. We also placed a Nasogastric tube for feedings since she wasn’t eating on her own. She received a plasma transfusion due to her low proteins and we continued to give oral medications through her NG tube and continued to receive her injectable medications as well. By the 6th day Luna began to eat dry food on her own and her bowl movements began to normalize! On the day of her discharge Luna got a standing ovation. This sweet girl kept fighting and made it through! Her case was challenging and our team is very proud of each other. We’re so happy Luna got to go home with her amazing pawrents!! 🐾 #IHVC #emergencyvet #vetmed #comestayheal #ironhorse
