We had an amazing time presenting at Har-Ber High School! 🐾 Students got hands-on experience practicing CPR and handling life-like pets to deepen their knowledge of animal behavior and care. Huge thanks to our assistants Briana, Zoe, and Marelyn, as well as our practice manager Stacey Storey, for leading this educational session! 🌟 #AnimalCare #HandsOnLearning #AESCInAction
🌟 Franky’s Journey: Caffeine Crisis & Triumph! 🌟
Meet Franky, our brave 6-year-old German Shepherd friend, who had a bit of a caffeine catastrophe! ☕ She accidentally ingested about 40-50 diet pills containing caffeine, which put her at risk of caffeine toxicity—a potentially lethal condition. Each pill had a whopping 110 mg of caffeine, far exceeding safe limits for dogs. When Franky arrived, she was showing signs of tremors, stiffness, and a high fever of 106°F. Scary, right?
What Our Team Did: Position Control 101
Our amazing team sprang into action! They reached out to the ASPCA Poison Control to confirm the toxicity risk and then got to work. We started by actively cooling her down to reduce that high fever, and our medical staff made sure to monitor her heart rate and other vitals round-the-clock. Position control was key here, keeping Franky comfortable and safe in our treatment area so we could closely observe her every step of the way.
Franky’s body went through a lot, but she was a trooper! Thanks to the quick work of our doctors and techs, she gradually stabilized, and we’re thrilled to report she’s now safe and on the mend. 💖
Through this experience, we’re reminded of the importance of patient positioning and monitoring, especially in emergency cases like Franky’s. Every little detail counts when it comes to patient care, and we couldn’t be prouder of our team! 💪🐾
Lesson Learned: Dogs and caffeine don’t mix! Even small amounts can be dangerous, so please keep those coffee and diet pills out of reach. Let’s keep our furry friends safe and sound! 🐶💕
