Archer is a 1 year old toy poodle that was presented for emergency care after post bath zoomies, which led to him jumping down the stairs at home and landing incorrectly. He was immediately triaged by one of our technicians and given pain medication to help make him more comfortable. After a physical exam and radiographs with Dr. Rivera, he was diagnosed with a fracture of his left front leg. Both bones (the radius and ulna) were fractured. Archer had a splint placed on his leg and surgery to repair the leg was then scheduled. Dr. Gifford performed the orthopedic surgery to place a plate and screws in his leg to stabilize the fractures. After surgery, Archer stayed in the hospital overnight to continue to receive a pain CRI (constant rate infusion) and injectable antibiotics. He was discharged the following afternoon to being his recovery process with his family at home, under strict rest and their loving care.

Thank you to the Woodstock and Canton area for voting us best Veterinary Emergency Clinic!
We have strived to bring the same love we feel for our general practice clients to our ER care. Our greatest joy is to see a puppy or kitten for their first shots and then to see them through all of the ups and downs of life, all the way into old age. We have been through ups and downs ourselves with all of our construction woes, but we are excited to finally settle into our new exam rooms and get back to just loving our patients.

Thank you again!

Meet Stella!

Stella is a 1 & ½ year old English Bulldog that presented to our emergency services with a possible foreign object ingestion. She had been vomiting for 24 hours prior to her visit with us. A physical exam and abdominal radiographs with Dr. Dutton showed a very interesting object in Stella's stomach. After talking to her family, they expressed concern that she had eaten a toy from their children's playroom. The decision was made to take her into surgery to remove what was suspected to be a toy dog from her stomach. During the surgery, Stella was monitored by one of our surgical technicians to ensure that her vitals remained normal throughout the procedure. A few short hours later, Stella was in recovery from her surgery on a pain drip to make sure she was comfortable. Stella stayed in the hospital overnight for continued fluid therapy and pain medications. She was able to be discharged and go home with her family the next morning already starting to feel like her normal self. Two weeks later, Stella returned to see us to have the staples removed from her surgical incision, her family reported that she was feeling better than ever!

🐾Fun Fact🐾

Dogs have shorter sleep cycles than humans, lasting 45 minutes at a time, and only spend 10% of their sleep in REM (deep sleep). Humans, on the other hand, have 90-minute cycles and spend 25% of their sleep in REM.

National Kitten Day!

Here’s a fact about kittens that might make you jealous. Kittens possess a superhuman sense of smell. By 4 weeks old, their sense of smell is fully developed, aided by an extra smell organ called the vomeronasal organ. This helps them find mom because they can’t see well yet.

They develop their sense of hearing by 4 weeks old. They have one of the best hearing capabilities of all land mammals. Humans can hear 20,000 hertz, but a cat can hear far better at 65,000 hertz.

Happy Saturday, it’s going to be a HOT one! If you and your family have plans around the pool or lake, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind for your 4 legged family members.

🐾Make sure your pup is comfortable with water first, before letting them dive directly into a pool. Some pups are natural born swimmers, some are not.
🐾Life jackets are a great way to ensure your pup is safe during any water activity–no matter their swim style.
🐾Never leave a pup unattended near a pool.
🐾 Can your dog easily and safely get in and out of the pool—are the stairs easy to access?
🐾 Every dog (and human) who gets in the pool will inhale some pool water, but watch out for excessive drinking. Pools treated with chlorine can be harmful to ingest if your dog drinks too much. The same goes for salt water pools; too much salt is never good for a pup. And if your pup is hot and exhausted from being outdoors and swimming, they're going to want to drink it to quench their thirst.

🐾Feel free to call or email us for any questions or more helpful tips. We want your whole family to enjoy the water!
