Ebony, an 8-year-old Chihuahua, presented to the surgery department for an elective splenectomy and liver biopsy (biopsy’s back; benign yay!) Ebony can be a bit fearful in the hospital, but with our patient and experienced technicians combined with fear-alleviating medications, we minimized Ebony’s stress and created a more positive experience.

🌡️ Heat Stroke in Pets: Know the Signs. Act Fast. 🐶🐱

As summer heats up in Massachusetts, it’s important to remember that our pets can overheat much faster than we do. Heat stroke is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition, but with awareness and quick action, it can often be prevented.

☀️ Prevention Tips:
• Never leave your pet in a parked car, even for a minute.
• Avoid midday walks, opt for early mornings or late evenings.
• Make sure pets always have access to fresh water and shade.
• Watch out for hot pavement; it can burn paws and raise body temps quickly.

⚠️ Signs of Heat Stroke in Pets:
• Excessive panting or drooling
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Weakness, stumbling, or collapse
• Bright red or pale gums
• Glazed eyes or confusion

🚨 What to Do If You Suspect Heat Stroke:

Call your veterinarian or visit our emergency department immediately.

Move your pet to a cool, shaded area.

Use cool (not cold) water to gently lower their body temperature; wet towels, fans, or a cool bath can help.

Offer water, but don’t force drinking.

At Massachusetts Veterinary Referral Hospital in Woburn, our emergency team is here 24/7 if your pet needs urgent care. Don’t wait; heat stroke progresses quickly but can be treated when caught early.

Jake, a 10-year-old Poodle Mix, visited our surgery department in January for a digit amputation with Dr. Kohler (previously posted). We have been seeing him since then for bandage changes following the surgery. Here he is posing with his dad, Chief Davis, a local firefighter!

Jake got some bandage art to match his amazing Dad, and has been doing great at home, even with one less toe bean!

Thank you, Chief Davis, for all you do, and for trusting us with your buddy!

Pictured above is Fergus, a 4-year-old Newfoundland who presented to the surgery department for a TPLO and tarsal arthroscopy. His head was so large we had to make him a king-sized cone! Pictured is Fergus with Alyssa, CVT, testing out his e-collar as quality control before sending him home to continue his recovery.

Pictured is Emma, an 11-year-old terrier mix who presented to the surgery department for a tail amputation. Emma has been intermittently in and out of MVRH for the past couple of years for a few separate health issues. Despite this, she is always a bright and happy lady when she comes to see us, and she is so relaxed during her stays. She is now continuing her recovery from surgery at home, surrounded by her loving family. We are so obsessed with that face - we had to share her!
