This is a positive saline agglutination test to help confirm a diagnosis of immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). We know— big words! Don’t worry, we’ll explain: IMHA is a serious autoimmune disease that occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own red blood cells. This can lead to severe anemia (low red blood cell counts) which may present as lethargy or listlessness, pale gums, elevated heart rate and breathing rate, and/or disorientation, and typically requires blood transfusion to help stabilize the patient while the underlying cause is determined and treatments are administered.

The saline agglutination test looks for clumping of antibody-covered red blood cells. A negative test would appear as more of a solid smear of blood, whereas in this test you can see the blood cells separating and clumping together.

One minute you’re chewing the most delicious stick in the park & the next you’re coming out of sedation at the vet — life comes at you fast. // Tommy was seen for extraction of a stick fragment lodged in the roof of his mouth. While we know dogs LOVE to chew sticks, the habit can cause damage to the teeth and surrounding tissues, intestinal blockage or other issues. Look out for signs like excessive drooling, pawing at the mouth, coughing or appetite changes — but if you’ve got a stick-lover it’s also a good idea to regularly inspect their mouth as some dogs (like Tommy) don’t show any initial symptoms.

ICYMI in our Stories, swipe to 💩 // This cat was brought in for decreased appetite and no bowel movements for several days, and was diagnosed with severe constipation (also known as obstipation). While enemas are an effective treatment for mild to moderate constipation, this cat required manual de-obstipation, which is done under heavy sedation or general anesthesia. As you can imagine, they felt MUCH better after treatment. 🐈

Is 6-week old Arietty the cat’s pajamas or what?! 🐱 She came in for an abscess on her front paw, which was drained and cleaned, and was prescribed antibiotics for infection. An abscess is a pocket of infection beneath the skin surface that may cause fever, loss of appetite, and general malaise and is therefore important to treat promptly. The most common causes in pets are bite wounds and any kind of soft tissue trauma (lacerations, punctures, foxtails, etc). An abscess may rupture on its own or require surgery to lance and drain the infected material.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, make sure you keep any chocolate and candies out of reach of pets. Darla was brought in for ingestion of chocolate and raisins, and was treated with emesis (induced vomiting) and bloodwork to ensure normal kidney function. The effects of ingesting toxic materials like chocolate and grapes/raisins can vary unpredictably from pet to pet, so we always recommend an urgent care visit if you know (or suspect) ingestion. 🍫🍇

Blood pressure measurement is a helpful diagnostic tool in many of our sick patients to help rule out low blood pressure (hypotension) or high blood pressure (hypertension). Abnormal blood pressure in either direction can be harmful to vital organs and early recognition and treatment is essential.

Stress can alter blood pressure readings, so we do our very best to make sure every patient is as calm and comfortable as possible, as seen here with Gabby, to help get an accurate measurement. Our technicians are skilled at obtaining blood pressures on patients of all sizes and demeanors.

🐶 Real-life emoji Bailey came to us for a dog bite wound on the left front paw. While some very minor wounds can be managed at home, we recommend having your pet seen for any animal bites, due to the increased risk of infection. Treatment may include proper cleaning, sutures and placement of a drain if necessary, and administration of antibiotics and/or pain medications.

Booboo came to see us for seizures, which are one of the most frequently reported neurological conditions in dogs.

We recommend that pets be seen after any new seizure activity. As seizures can have many causes, we start by performing a comprehensive exam and performing baseline labwork. Additional diagnostics may be indicated depending on the pet’s age and the progression of their seizure activity. Anti-convulsant therapy may be started if more than one seizure occurs in a short time span.

Referral to one of our local expert neurologists may also be discussed.

We hope everyone is holding up okay! Sadie is open today, Thursday 1/18 for now, but keep an eye on Stories as we’ll likely close early to ensure employees and clients can make it home safely. Please use caution (& keep an eye on your pet’s paws!) if venturing out as it’s still very icy out there.

When this weather subsides, don’t forget to throw some extra love and support at your favorite shops, restaurants and other small businesses, for which unexpected closures can be detrimental. Fingers and paws crossed everyone will be back to regular operations by this weekend. 🫰🏻🐾

Snow in the forecast?! Comment ❄️ if you think it’s legit, or 🌧️ for false alarm! Either way, temps are supposed to drop below the 20s, and extreme cold can put pets at increased risk for dehydration, paw damage and hypothermia. Keep these tips in mind this weekend.

Ruby was brought in for nasal discharge, sneezing and coughing. Respiratory infections can be bacterial, viral, or both, and are more common in dogs who are highly social. Treatment for upper respiratory infections may include antibiotics, cough suppressants and fluid therapy if a patient is not eating or drinking normally.

Chest x-rays are often recommended in coughing patients to screen for signs of inflammation or infection in the lungs.
