Is your dog coughing? Is your dog around other dogs?

We have received many panicked calls from our community about an unusual respiratory disease circulating in dogs in the Northeast. While we are seeing cases of kennel cough and pneumonia, we are not seeing anything that is out of the ordinary and have confirmed with the Maine State Veterinarian’s office that there is not an increased cause for concern.

Please reach out to your veterinarian if you are concerned about your dog or have further questions. Maine Veterinary Medical Center Rarebreed Veterinary Partners

We are pleased to introduce you to Dr. Katie Lopez, veterinary cardiologist and recent addition to the amazing Maine Veterinary Medical Center healthcare team in Scarborough, Maine.

Dr. Lopez received her DVM from Tufts University, where she also completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery, followed by a cardiology residency. After completing her residency, Dr. Lopez received board certification in cardiology from the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM). While she finds every aspect of cardiology fascinating, Dr. Lopez particularly enjoys managing patients with valvular heart disease and cardiomyopathy, as well as long-term management of congestive heart failure and arrhythmias. Dr. Lopez grew up in southern Maine and is thrilled to be back in the area. Outside of work, she enjoys all the outdoor activities that Maine has to offer, as well as spending time with her partner, Nick, and their two rambunctious cats, Tiny and Smalls.

Has your pet ever been treated by a criticalist here at MVMC? Many people don't know what exactly a criticalist is, so here are some quick facts to help!

🐾 Criticalists are veterinarians who specialize in emergencies and critical care.
🐾 Criticalists must complete specific training in other specialities such as: neurology, surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, etc.
🐾 Criticalists are highly trained to stabilize any type of emergency that comes through the doors including cardiac emergencies, respiratory emergencies, and shock.
🐾 Criticalists are quick thinkers under pressure, and are ready to be the "calm" during "chaos."

MVMC currently has FIVE criticalists on staff, and we couldn't be more proud and honored to work beside them every day!

Back to our pericardial case: We relieve this pressure with a pericardiocentesis to remove the fluid. This fluid is most commonly hemorrhage/blood however doesn't always have to be depending on the underlying cause.

A wide variety of symptoms that are not always specific however, can all point in the direction of pericardial effusion. This can include (not limited to) acute vomiting, collapse, difficulty breathing, weakness, lethargy and coughing. This dog had both pleural (free fluid in chest) and pericardial effusion. As you can see in this video - there is fluid within the pericardium which is the normal sac that is around the heart. This is most commonly due to a bleeding tumor on the heart however, can be a few other less common causes such as infection, other types of cancer, trauma, coagulopathy or rupture of the left atrium. This leads to pressure within the pericardium which compromises the hearts pumping ability called cardiac tamponade ...

Multimodal anesthesia for the win! This is a femoral/sciatic block for a TPLO (Like ACL surgery in people). When incorporated into the anesthesia plan, it is opioid & MAC sparing.

The EKG for our sick sinus syndrome! Check out what you were seeing on the tFAST/foCUS echo!

Ever see a heart stop beating in a live pet?!! If you watch this ultrasound closely, you can see the heart skip beats for long periods of time. This dog had something called “sick sinus syndrome” which is a cardiac abnormality that can cause the pacemaker in the heart (the sinus node) to occasionally fail to induce a contraction. This can lead to weakness or collapse and can sometimes require a pacemaker to be implanted, just like in people! Luckily, this pet was able to compensate for this condition and did great with simple medical management. #emergencyvet #veterinarytechnicians #emergency #criticalcare #emergencyveterinarymedicine #SavingLivesEveryDay #triage #sicksinussyndrome #echocardiogram #ultrasound #heartbeat

Sometimes our dogs and cats come up with a limp out of nowhere! In many cases the answer is as easy as a strain or sprain, but sometimes we have to look further. In this case, the limp wasn't getting better and no bone/orthopedic abnormalities were identified, so we had to take samples from the joints. Evaluation of joint fluid allows us to assess for signs of infection, inflammation or immune-mediated joint disease. Dogs can get these conditions just like people! This little pupl is feeling much better now that we found out the secret!

Thankfully this stick stayed very superficial - just within the skin and muscle - rather than penetrating into the chest cavity! This is why it is so important to remember things happen quickly while outside on an adventure as well as it may look superficial but may be the tip of the iceberg! Do not remove on your own - the object or stick may be keeping pressure on major blood vessels or into the chest or abdomen. All of these injuries can become rapidly life threatening within a second!

Remember all the quills that we found in our pup last week?! Well the work is never done! This friend had a surprise after a quilling that was found! They’re sneaky!! We've had lots of surprise combo procedures recently. What combos have you had lately? #vetlife #vet #vetmed #foreignbodyremoval Maine Veterinary Medical Center Rarebreed Veterinary Partners

Removing a quill from the lung lobe that was causing air to leak out into the chest which is called a pneumothorax. This portion of the lung lobe also needed to be removed due to the damage. This air leak can quickly become a life threatening emergency.

An important piece of assessment on triage - a quick tFAST/aFAST! This can give you so much information very quickly and non-invasive. In this case, pleural effusion and an intrathoracic mass. #vetblue Rarebreed Veterinary Partners Maine Veterinary Medical Center
