@pawsofwar: This poor girl canโt catch a break. Sasha was rescued from a puppy mill that had no more use for her since she was so over-bred and cold not have any more puppies. Sasha, our miracle dog who is fighting pneumonia, heart worms and rocks in her stomach, had to be rushed into surgery to remove the rocks which unfortunately did not pass and caused a blockage.Amazingly she survived the complicated surgery to remove several large rocks. She is fighting to survive, and we are doing everything that we can to save this sweet girl. Please consider donating - any amount helps Sasha continue her road to a full recovery.We canโt thank the staff at West Hills Animal Hospital & Emergency Center enough for their great work, and also for their help with providing these updates.#rescuedog #dogrescue #veterinarian #animalrescue #longisland #newyork #goldenretriever #golden #retriever #huntington #march #lvt #pets #ny

West Hills saves lives AND provides pets with live entertainment.
It was a ruff day for this pup Kody after a ball became stuck in his throat yesterday.
Kodyโs owners, a couple from Huntington Station, were unable to get the ball out and called 911. Second Precinct police officers swiftly responded to the call and brought Kody to the West Hills Animal Hospital.
Dr. Jessica Langdon & her team were able to get the ball out, and 1-year-old Kody is feeling much better.
Amazing job to all involved, and thank you Suffolk County Police Department for all that you do every single day!

๐ดDO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!:
This dog came to us on Easter Sunday with a marrow bone stuck behind his canines and around his mandible. Thankfully our team was able to remove it safely, and he is feeling as good as new. If this happens to your pet, please call us at (631)351-6116 and do not attempt to remove at home as this requires sedation.
Physical Rehabilitation
Did you know that our sister hospital,
Gold Coast Center for Veterinary Care - Specialists in Veterinary Medicine has a Physical Rehabilitation Department?
Dogs and cats, just like people, can benefit from specific exercise programs and other therapeutic modalities that can decrease pain, improve fitness, and restore functionality.
Rehabilitation can also be instrumental in decreasing recovery time after an orthopedic or neurological surgery.
Please call our Physical Rehabilitation Department to discuss a program that can benefit your furbaby. 631-923-2530

Yesterday, two unrelated large dogs were rushed into the ER while choking on a ball (one tennis ball, one solid rubber ball) coincidentally within one hour of each other. Although not a common emergency, this is something veterinarians can see from time to time.
Most often, panicked vets will try prying the ball out of the back of the dogโs throat with their hands or forceps instruments, which has a high rate of failure, and the dog will then require emergency tracheostomy to prevent suffocation. Sometimes, many times, itโs too late.
There is a technique that is miraculously not widely enough known called the external extraction technique, which almost always results in the quickest ability to remove a ball lodged in the back of the throat and blocking the airway. With permission from both of these dogsโ owners, we are sharing these two videos to spread awareness in the hopes that many other lives will be saved in the future.
Both dogs, especially the second dog, were in life threatening conditions when they arrived but after the swift action of our awesome cohesive team of doctors, nurses, and assistants, they are expected to make a continued complete recovery. ๐ฉบ๐พ
