🐾🩺 Understanding GI Foreign Bodies: Luna's Critical Care Journey at Rancocas Vet 🩺🐾
Hello, cherished pet community,
Today, we share an educational chapter from our patient files: Luna the cat's encounter with a gastrointestinal (GI) foreign body. Luna's story is not just a tale of recovery, but also an opportunity to learn about a serious health issue that affects many pets.
Luna's family noticed she was unwell after playing with a seemingly harmless ribbon. This ribbon turned into a GI foreign body, an object non-digestible and unable to pass through her digestive system. Items like toys, strings, or even bones can become lodged, causing pets to exhibit signs of illness.
When these foreign bodies get stuck, they can lead to severe complications, including perforation of the GI tract, peritonitis (inflammation of the abdominal lining), and even sepsis due to bacterial contamination. Luna was at risk of these life-threatening conditions, which required swift and decisive action.
At Rancocas Vet, our team conducted an abdominal exploration and surgically removed the ribbon. Surgery is often necessary for complete removal, as was the case with Luna. (See our comment section for an image of what was removed!)
Luna's successful surgery and ongoing recovery highlight the importance of prompt veterinary intervention when your pet ingests a foreign object. We urge all pet parents to monitor their pets closely and keep potentially dangerous items out of reach.
Remember, if your pet consumes something unusual and shows signs of distress, contact your veterinarian immediately. Early detection and treatment are key to a positive outcome.
We're here to answer any questions about GI foreign bodies, and we're committed to the health and well-being of your pets. Luna's bravery and her family's quick response have given her a second chance at life, and we hope her story can help prevent similar incidents in other pets.
With care and support,
The Rancocas Vet Tea

Hello, Rancocas Veterinary Community!
It's another fantastic day at Rancocas Veterinary Associates, and we just can't hide our excitement. Last Friday, Dr. Riegel had the pleasure of spending the day doing what she loves most - caring for our bovine buddies!
There's something truly special about working with cows. Their gentle nature and the significant role they play in our agricultural community make every visit a rewarding experience. Not only do we ensure they're in tip-top shape, but we also get to connect with the fantastic farmers who work tirelessly to keep our local farms thriving.
Whether it's a routine check-up, a treatment plan, or just a friendly farm visit, we are here for it all. Because here at Rancocas, we believe every animal deserves the best care, and we're udderly committed to providing it.
To all our cow-loving clients and their hardworking herds, we salute you! 🌾👩🌾👨🌾
📸 Here are some snapshots from today's farm visits. Dr. Riegel might say she's just doing her job, but we think she's making a difference, one moo at a time!
For those looking to schedule a visit or learn more about our bovine services, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to answer any questions and ensure your herd is healthy and happy!
Keep on grazing, and we'll see you soon!
