Sister hospital spotlight! Check out this adorable pup Koda from our sister hospital, Veterinary Specialty Hospital- North County!
"This little jumping bean, Koda, was excited to be with our team members while they cleaned the exam table and stocked the area! 3-year-old Australian Shepherd presented through ER limping on her front left paw. Prior to the visit, Koda’s owner shaved her paw to see if they were able to spot what was bothering her and came across some red swelling. After a physical exam was performed in our care, Dr. Gosliga suspected that the inflammation was caused by an infection of the nail bed called Pododermatitis. Antibiotics & pain medication were recommended to help with the infection. Koda was the sweetest girl while in our care, showering our team members kisses and love!"

Here's your answer to Dr. Thomson's World Spay Day question!
An ovariectomy is the removal of the ovaries, which is commonly performed through a laparoscopic ovariectomy. An ovariohysterectomy is when the ovaries and the uterus are removed, which is performed through a traditional spay!
Watch Dr. Thomson's response to find out more about the benefits of a laparoscopic ovariectomy!
Check out this adorable cat, Wolf from our sister hospital in Illinois!
"This 6-month-old Maine Coon came in because he seemed less active at home. Upon examination it was found that he had a 300 beat per minute heart rate. Typically cats are around 200. Dr. Bob performed a cardiac ultrasound and it was noted that part of his heart was slightly thickened which could be a genetic issue due to his breed. Other than that Wolf looked great. He was prescribed a medication to help slow his heart rate which should help Wolf feel much better!"
At 6 months he already weighed 8lbs and as you can see is a polydactyl cat, having more than the usual number of toes on his paws! He’s going to be a big handsome boy!

Don't forget, if your pet is having a non-critical emergency, you can wait in the comfort of your home and get text alerts when it's time to come into the ER.
If you believe your pet is in critical condition and needs immediate care, please call us, and come to the hospital right away. Patients we assess to be in critical condition are always prioritized.

This dog swallowed a dime!
2-year-old Labradoodle, Ginger, presented to the ER team at Premier Veterinary Group Orland Park after being seen by her referring Veterinarian for vomiting and inappetence. They performed radiographs on Ginger, where a metallic object appeared. To remove this object, Ginger was sent to our team at Orland Park to have an endoscopy done. The foreign body ended up being a dime!
Check out this video where we see Dr. Bob, Internal Medicine, successfully removed the dime via the scope!
