Happy Caturday everyone 🐈‍⬛🐾
Cats, especially males, can face urinary tract issues, and a blockage occurs when there's an obstruction in the urinary system, preventing normal urine flow. This is often caused by crystals, stones, mucus, or other substances. Signs of a blocked cat are straining to urinate, frequent trips to the litter box, vocalizing in pain, blood in urine, tense and discomfort in abdomen, lethargy, and lack of appetite. A blocked cat is a severe medical emergency. If you observe these signs, rush to the vet ASAP. Timely intervention is crucial to relieve the blockage and prevent life-threatening complications.
Remember, we are always here for you. Your pet's well-being is our priority. If you're ever unsure or notice concerning symptoms, consult with your vet for proper guidance. 🏥

Fun Fact Friday 🐾 Today, we're shining a spotlight on the American Pit Bull Terrier 🐶
Did you know? In the early 20th century, Pit Bulls were affectionately known as "Nanny dogs" due to their gentle and nurturing nature, particularly towards children. Despite their loving disposition, Pit Bulls may be prone to hip dysplasia, cranial cruciate ligament ruptures, allergies, and hypothyroidism. At ACCESS, we cherish our work with this breed. Feel free to visit our facility for any emergencies with your furry friend. Our dedicated surgery department is also available 24/7 to address any urgent situations.

Meet Sarafina, who recently presented to our Emergency Department after eating a popsicle stick. Dr. Marco Filipovic and our dedicated Emergency Department team was quick to assess her, and after 3 view radiographs, there was no evidence of the popsicle stick or obstruction. 📷

However, our thorough examination revealed a surprising twist - the radiographs showed multiple poorly mineralized stones in her urinary bladder. After discussing with her owners, we found out Sarafina has a chronic history of recurring UTI’s. Rod shaped bacteria were found on urinalysis; urinary culture and sensitivity was submitted prior to starting antibiotic therapy, as she’s not clinical at this time, excellent anti-microbial stewardship! Sarafina will be on a urinary/stone diet trial and repeat radiographs will be completed in 1-2 months. Everyone enjoyed working with Sarafina, especially ER doctor Dr. Szewczyk (First slide) and ER Technician Amy Ferry (Second slide). ❤️

Emergencies can happen at any time, and our dedicated team is ready 24/7 to provide immediate attention and expert treatment. Your pet's health and well-being are our top priorities. 🏥❤️

Did you know that ACCESS – Palm Beach is owned by hands-on veterinarians who are not big on having staff work independently without having to rely on each other? That's just a group of folks doing their own thing. What we are into, is a ‘team’ mentality, where our staff are enabled and encouraged to share experiences, collaborate to find solutions, and practice together with one, single, common goal in mind – to provide the best, and most advanced veterinary medicine to sick of injured pets. This pic of our surgery team, who together are proud to achieve more… Pop-in and meet them! .
