🐾 Story Time: Keats and the Curious Grass Seed! 🌿
Meet Keats, a beautiful lurcher with an even more beautiful spirit. ❤️
Over the weekend, Keats' owners noticed a swelling developing on his jaw, and by Tuesday it seemed to be getting worse. Concerned, they brought him in to see one of our vets. After a thorough examination, the cause wasn't immediately obvious, leaving us with a few possible explanations and a mystery to solve.
Determined to get to the bottom of it, Keats returned on Wednesday for a CT scan with Mario. This gave us the best possible look at what was happening beneath the surface. The scan revealed signs of infection and something that didn't quite belong there. With a little more detective work using ultrasound, we finally uncovered the culprit...
A grass seed! 🌾
This small troublemaker had worked its way into an awkward spot and was causing all sorts of problems for poor Keats. Thankfully, we were able to remove the pesky intruder and get him on the road to recovery.
That afternoon, Keats headed home with a wagging tail, a grass seed souvenir, and lots of well-deserved cuddles and rest ahead of him. 🐕💙
We're so pleased to have helped this lovely boy feel more comfortable again. It's a great reminder that even the smallest things can sometimes cause big problems, and why investigating unusual swellings early is always important.
Get well soon, Keats! We think you've definitely earned a few extra treats. 🦴✨
