Paws-itively thrilled to introduce Nala and her ONE DAY old puppies! Nala was recently adopted from the shelter and her new owners had no idea she was pregnant. She suddenly gave birth on her afternoon walk yesterday! 😳

But she’s taking being a mother very seriously and it comes natural to her 👶🏼🍼

Millie the Shih Tzu is a new mom! She welcomed a single puppy yesterday. Can you spy her little bundle of joy? Swipe ⬅️

She’s a young mom who is overcoming hurdles. She came in today for muscle trembling, a common condition in postpartum dogs from eclampsia - low calcium.

Millie received a calcium infusion and will enjoy some tasty Tums at home. With puppy food to boost her energy and aid breastfeeding, we’re optimistic for her recovery.

Send lots of love and support to this mama!

Meet Gwen! She was diagnosed with Gingivostomatitis. It is a debilitating autoimmune disease that is specific to our felines. It causes severe and chronic inflammation of the gums and tissue that lines the oral cavity. Treatment is aggressive and typically involves extracting all of their teeth. Gwen was a trooper and had ALL 30 of her teeth removed. We wish her a speedy recovery!! Swipe ⬅️ to 👀🦷

Benny the Bassett had a case of the happy tail!

Happy tail is a condition where dogs cause damage to the tip of their tails from striking surfaces, usually when they’re wagging it!

This condition is anything but happy for dogs and pet parents. The tip of the dog’s tail becomes dried and cracked and starts bleeding because of the repetitive striking of the tail on surfaces. It can take a long time to heal and weekly follow up for bandage changes is important. Benny was very patient for his frequent bandage changes and his owners were amazing during this process. It took almost 7 weeks to heal!

The K9 tail saver harness made a big difference as well!

Buttered “Toast” 🍞🧈 Toast came in today for a recurring abscess. We sedated, lanced, drained and sent home some antibiotics for the baby 😊

Sage is enjoying his laser therapy for his bad ear infection (performed BEFORE we instilled his ear medication).

Foxy had a cystotomy surgery to remove a large bladder stone. She did great during and after surgery! Watch her strut out! Foxy had a type of bladder stone that is caused by urinary tract infections. For prevention, she’s going to be eating a prescription urinary diet and have serial urine cultures performed to check for an infection. 🚽💦 #southpawvets #shermanoaks #vets #LAvets #LAvet #LApets #shermanoaksvet #shermanoaksvets #shermanoakspets #vetlife #catsofinstagram #instaVets #dogsofLA #doglife #catlover #vetmed #vettechs #fearfree #fearfreepets #womeninmedicine #womenownedbusiness #smallbusiness

Happy Halloween! Please remember to keep the candy out of reach from your pets at home. Large amounts of chocolate ingestion can range from gastrointestinal signs (think vomiting and diarrhea) to neurologic signs (seizures). Additionally, some candy contains an ingredient called xylitol. If our dogs eat xylitol, it can cause acute liver failure. ☹️ #southpawvets #shermanoaks #vets #LAvets #LAvet #LApets #shermanoaksvet #shermanoaksvets #shermanoakspets #studiocityvet #studiocityvets #studiocitypets #vetlife #dogtor #instaVets #dogsofLA #doglife #doglover #catsofLA #catdoctor #catlife #catlover
