Voila!! This foxtail was traveling behind the eyeball last week - pet presented with swollen left side of face and abscess behind eye. We could not get to a foxtail or find one in the area last week but we thought one was there based on signs and ultrasound. So we treated with antibiotics and waited to see if it would continue around the globe and emerge from the top of the eyeball. Sure enough, today Lady started to paw at eye and we numbed it with topical anesthetic agent. We then were able to grab the edge of the foxtail and remove it.

Emmy is already recovered and sent home after presenting this am with a puppy stuck in her birthing canal. She had one live puppy delivered by C-section ( she had seven prior to the surgery at home). Even in recovery she is such a good momma. #savingLivesEveryday #ShadowridgeVet

Check out Snowflake! She just woke up two hours ago from an emergency surgery to remove her gallbladder and several large gallstones that were blocking her bile duct. She was at another hospital this week, then at the specialty hospital the last two days. When the clients could not afford surgery at the specialists, the dr there called us and asked her if we could do it. I love it when specialists actually refer cases to us! Such a compliment. So this afternoon Snowflake transferred to us, and within 30 minutes our board certified surgeon, Dr Frey at Softsurg, came in to do the surgery. Now she is recovering at Animal urgent Care in Escondido overnight #SpecialistsrefertoGP #vetssavingpets #gallbladdersurgery
