This is Nellie. She was hospitalized with us after ingesting rat poison. Thankfully, Nellie's owner acted quickly and brought her in to be assessed. During her hospitalization, she received IV fluids, vitamin K therapy, and anti-nausea medication. Nellie was discharged today and will recover at home with her family.

The prognosis for dogs who have ingested rat poison depends on the severity of poisoning and the time to treatment. With prompt veterinary intervention, many dogs can recover fully. If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, it is essential to call the pet poison helpline and head to the nearest emergency hospital.

Meet Poodle the Poodle! He presented to HAEC for vomiting, inappetence and bloody diarrhea. The owner was concerned that Poodle got into rat poison, but after being admitted to the hospital mom found an entire bag of small dog Dasuquin that Poodle ate at home! Poodle was placed on IV fluids, received anti-nausea medications, antibiotics and pain medications. Radiographs originally showed fluid and gas inside the intestines that are consistent with gastroenteritis. Repeat radiographs later showed that he had severe gastric distention and Poodle was sent into surgery for an abdominal exploratory. In surgery we removed the undigested dasuquin that formed a foreign body and placed a nasogastric tube to allow us to empty the fluid from his stomach as needed. After being hospitalized for almost 48 hours Poodle was sent home to recover with his family!

The last photo was sent by Poodle’s owner letting us know he is back to his normal self! ❤️

Not being able to talk to our patients is often the hardest part of our job. Getting pets to cooperate and understand why we are doing what we are doing can be tricky. Liefde, the golden, needed bandage changes every few days. She was very patient and well-behaved, and enjoyed some encouragement with a snack to make the appointment as stress-free as possible. Low-stress handling is where it’s at! 🐾

Meet Kelly! Kelly is a 4 year old mixed breed dog who presented to Hershey Animal Emergency Center after being hit by a car that was going about 45-50 mph. Kelly initially arrived laterally recumbent in shock with very pale mucous membranes, tachypnea (abnormally increased breathing rate), and increased bronchovesicular sounds. Kelly was very tense and painful on abdominal palpation as well and had significant bruising and abrasions. Kelly was given a shock fluid bolus which improved her mentation. Radiographs were then performed to assess her chest, abdomen, and skeletal structures. These revealed pulmonary contusions (bruising of the lung tissues from trauma), a fractured rib, a ruptured abdominal wall causing an abdominal hernia (where the intestines herniate out of the inguinal fold), as well as a mild subluxation of the first two lumbar disks of the spine. Kelly was admitted to HAEC and once stabilized, she was taken to surgery to address and repair the hernias. She also received IV fluids, oxygen supplementation, pain medications, gastroprotectants, and antibiotics.

Kelly did great and was able to be discharged to recover at home with her owners.
