Can you believe this adorable face? The name behind those incredible ears is Elf, a 1-year-old Maine Coon male. Elf presented to our internal medicine service for a consultation due to chronic constipation; clinical signs developed early at about 6-7 weeks of age. Elf was admitted to our ICU the night before his de-obstipation procedure for supportive care, serial enemas, pain medication, and a MiraLAX infusion via a nasogastric tube that sits directly into his stomach. At the time of his procedure, Dr. Palladino discovered a congenital issue called atresia ani, which means that the anal opening is smaller than usual. No surgery or medication will fix this, but continuation of long-term medications will help this little cutie pass stools more easily in the future. Luckily, Elf has a dedicated owner, and we look forward to seeing him back in the future for his rechecks. Elf won the hearts of our staff and got so many kisses during his hospital stay. Just look at that face!!! #Elfthecat #MassVet
Meet our superstar, Winston! After a rockstar performance during his sedated orthopedic radiograph session, he savored a delicious meal (or two) and took a serene walk amidst the autumn foliage. Here's to cozy fall evenings and all the cuteness! 🍁🐩
Have you ever wondered what a baby Shar Pei looks like? As you could imagine, they consist of 99% skin. This adorable pups name is Hercules,a 2 month old male Shar Pei. Hercules presented to our ER after being involved in a trauma. Initial radiographs revealed a fracture of the left tibia and humerus and mild pulmonary contusions, which are bruises on the lung. Despite all that, Hercules was breathing comfortably and had surgery to repair his fractures. After receiving pain control in hospital, he was discharged to continuing recovering at home with his family. Our surgical team took such great care of Hercules while in hospital, and our inpatient team could not get enough of his adorable (hidden) face. #MassVet #SharPei #SmushFace
