Meet Chloe. Chloe has been through a lot and is so strong!
Chloe recently spent seven days in the hospital being treated for Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA). Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the animal’s red blood cells. This leads to a shortage of these cells, which are vital for carrying oxygen throughout the body. As a result, animals with IMHA may become very weak, tired, and pale, and they may have trouble breathing.
Chloe received intensive treatment, including four blood transfusions and an immune globulin treatment. Shout out to her mom and sister, Riley (pictured with Chloe above), for not giving up on her and visiting her every single day! Chloe left the hospital wagging her tail and eating treats!
We love you, Chloe!

As a pet owner, it’s crucial to know how to identify signs of poisoning in your pet. Common signs include unusual behavior, bleeding, seizures, diarrhea, excessive drooling, lethargy, loss of appetite, increased thirst, skin discoloration, and vomiting. Keep in mind that symptoms can vary, and not all pets will exhibit the same signs.
If you suspect your pet has been poisoned, please call us, your primary veterinarian, or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center immediately.
If your pet has ingested over-the-counter medication, Eclipse Specialty & Emergency Pet Care offers advanced treatments like hemoperfusion and therapeutic plasma exchange. These therapies involve filtering the blood through a carbon or lipophilic filter to remove the toxin. Please reach out to us or have your primary veterinarian reach out to us with any questions about specific toxins or to see if your pet would benefit from these therapies after ingesting an over-the-counter medication.

Meet Dublin, a seven-month lab mix who recently visited the dental service at Eclipse Specialty & Emergency Pet Care.
Dublin had been experiencing an overbite, where his lower canines were causing a lot of discomfort and pain due to contact with the roof of his mouth.
Our dental specialist, Dr. Marissa Berman, performed a successful crown reduction as well as a vital pulp therapy, reducing the height of the lower canine tooth and maintaining its function and strength.
To help Dublin further, Dr.Berman also performed another procedure, giving the lower canine tooth a clear path to erupt further and maintain its position without contacting the gum and causing more trauma.
Dublin is recovering well and will soon be back to his playful self!

Last week, Poppy decided to ingest a toxic dose of carprofen, an anti-inflammatory medication used to treatment pain in dogs. The carprofen dose ingested would have caused kidney damage and stomach ulcers. Poppy was presented to Eclipse Specialty and Emergency and received a life-saving toxin removal treatment. Because the dialysis team were able to remove the toxin from Poppy's blood, instead of having to spend 3-5 days in the hospital, she went home the next day with normal kidney function. Poppy had a check up today and she is feeling great!

Louise presented to Eclipse Specialty and Emergency Pet Care for ingestion of a large amount of carprofen (Rimadyl). The dose she ingested would have damaged to her kidneys and would have led to many days of hospitalization. Luckily for Louise, her owners presented her to Eclipse within a few hours of drug ingestion and the dialysis team were able to remove the drug from her blood thus preventing toxicity. Louise is home, doing well and her kidney function is normal.

We want to give a shout out to our team of technicians, assistants and veterinarians who made Milo's surgery a success.
