🐾❤️ MEET FIONA! A GDV SURVIVOR! ❤️🐾

Sweet Fiona, a Rottweiler mix, came to Small Animal Emergency Services with a life-threatening condition called Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV), also known as bloat with a twisted stomach.

🩻 Check out Fiona’s X-rays!

GDV occurs when the stomach fills with gas and twists, restricting blood flow. Fiona required emergency surgery to correct the twisted stomach. She also underwent a gastropexy (stomach tacking), a procedure that secures the stomach to the abdominal wall to help prevent it from twisting again.

🚨 KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS:
🐾 Swollen or tight abdomen
🐾 Trying to vomit with nothing coming up
🐾 Restlessness or pacing
🐾 Excessive drooling
🐾 Weakness or collapse

❤️ GDV is a life-threatening emergency where every minute counts! If your dog shows these signs, seek veterinary care immediately.

🎃🐾 HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN FROM SMALL ANIMAL EMERGENCY SERVICES! 👻🐶🐱

Halloween is full of spooky surprises, sweet treats, and fun costumes! But for our four-legged friends, some Halloween traditions can turn into a real-life nightmare! 🕸️

🚨 KEEP THE SCARES FUN, NOT EMERGENCIES!

🍫 Candy is for humans! Chocolate and sugar-free candy containing xylitol can be toxic to pets.

🍬 Beware of candy wrappers! Swallowed wrappers can cause choking or intestinal blockages.

🎃 Watch those decorations! Glow sticks, electrical cords, candles, and decorations can be dangerous to curious pets.

🚪 Keep your little escape artists safe! Trick-or-treaters and frequent doorbell rings can cause stress or lead to pets slipping out the door.

🐾 Costumes should be comfortable! Avoid costumes that restrict breathing, movement, or vision. Not every pet enjoys dressing up!

🚨 WHEN HALLOWEEN GETS A LITTLE TOO SCARY…

If your pet gets into something potentially toxic, don’t wait for symptoms to appear! Contact a veterinarian immediately.

🏥 Small Animal Emergency Services is here when your pets need us most!

🕕 Monday–Friday: 6 PM–8 AM
🚨 Weekends & Holidays: OPEN 24 HOURS

📸 LET’S HAVE SOME SPOOKY FUN! 👻

We want to see your furry little monsters! Drop a picture of your pet in their Halloween costume in the comments! 🐶🐱🎃

❤️ Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and SPOOKTACULAR Halloween!

❤️ At Small Animal Emergency Services, we’re here when your feline family members need emergency care!

📸 LET’S SEE THOSE KITTIES! Drop a picture of your cat in the comments and tell us their name!

SUNDAY PET SAFETY: FOUND A LOST PET?

Did you know Moore County has FOUR public microchip scanning stations? 🔎

Thanks to RADAR (Rogue Active Duty Animal Rescue) and community partners, finding a lost pet’s family can be a little easier!

📍 WHERE TO FIND A MICROCHIP SCANNER:

🐾 Carthage
Carthage Farm Supply

🐾 Southern Pines
Moore Equine Feed & Pet Supply

🐾 Aberdeen
Burney Hardware Company

🐾 Seven Lakes
Burney True Value Hardware

🔎 HOW DOES IT WORK?

Simply follow the instructions posted at the scanning station. If a microchip is detected, the scanner will display an identification number that can be used to help locate the pet’s registered owner.

🚨 IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

❤️ Never leave an animal at a scanning station.

❤️ If you find a lost pet, contact Moore County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services at (910) 947-2858.

❤️ Microchips are NOT GPS trackers, and owners must keep their registration information updated!

🏥 SAES IS HERE TO HELP!
During our business hours, you can also call Small Animal Emergency Services to report a found pet! Our team can collect the pet’s description, location found, and your contact information in case the owner calls our clinic searching for their missing pet.

🏡 Every lost pet deserves a chance to make it home!

🐾 SAVE THIS POST & SHARE IT! You never know when this information could help reunite a lost pet with their family.

As National Veterinary Technician Week comes to an end, we want to take one more moment to recognize the incredible veterinary technicians who make such a difference at Small Animal Emergency Services! 🩺🐶🐱

Our veterinary technicians are more than just animal lovers. They are nurses, advocates, comforters, problem-solvers, and often the calm in the middle of chaos. ❤️

Emergency veterinary medicine isn’t always easy. It takes compassion, strength, patience, knowledge, and a whole lot of heart.

To our amazing veterinary technicians: THANK YOU! Your hard work, sacrifices, dedication, and love for every patient never go unnoticed.

🐾 Although this week is dedicated to celebrating you, your contributions deserve recognition every single day!

❤️ From all of us at Small Animal Emergency Services, Happy National Veterinary Technician Week!
