Bronx

Bronx

Bronx is a 4-month-old puppy that came into our ER yesterday for possibly swallowing a toy. Bronx lives with little children and was licking his lips and swallowing with effort, so his owner was concerned that he had swallowed one of their toys while he was not looking. After further examination and x-rays, it appeared that Bronx did not swallow a foreign material (but lots of treats were visible), so our ER doctor sent him home for close monitoring.
Haus

Haus

We love it when recheck visits go well! Haus is improving wonderfully and had a great visit with our cardiologist today ending in lots of treats and slobbery kisses.
Simon

Simon

On Friday, Simon presented with a urinary obstruction to Francis Veterinary Hospital. Francis Vet treated the block and transferred him over to our 24/7 emergency staff for continued supportive care through the weekend. If Simon does well today, he can go home. If he re-obstructs today, since he has a history of blockages, Francis Vet will perform a PU (reconstruction of the urethra) surgery tomorrow morning which should help prevent further urinary blockages in the future.

Roxy Sue and Haus

We are so excited that Roxy Sue was finally able to go home after 4 days in the ICU. Roxy Sue is only 3 years old and was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) most likely dietary related. She has been eating Kirkland Grain Free diet and developed coughing a week ago. She went to a local ER that took x-rays that showed a severely enlarged heart and fluid in her lungs. The ER immediately transferred her to EVS for further testing and treatment with our cardiology service.
Riley

Riley

Riley came into our hospital last week after being diagnosed with pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart) at Mountain Parks Veterinary Hospital. An echocardiogram did not reveal an obvious mass on the right atrium, so the cause of the pericardial effusion is unknown, even after further bloodwork. Our cardiologist treated the pericardial effusion and sent him home to be monitored closely.
