🐾 HERSHEY'S UNWANTED SNACK! 🐶🦴

Hershey was referred to Vet Crest Animal Emergency Center for endoscopy after a pork bone became lodged in the distal esophagus.

With the bone firmly stuck, prompt intervention was necessary to prevent further injury and complications to the esophagus. Through endoscopy, our team was able to carefully locate and successfully remove the pork bone without the need for more invasive surgery.

Hershey recovered well after the procedure and was closely monitored for any signs of esophageal irritation or complications.

Another successful endoscopic foreign body removal! 🐾

A reminder to pet owners: bones, especially cooked bones, can splinter and become lodged in the esophagus or gastrointestinal tract. When ingestion happens, seek veterinary attention as soon as possible.

We’re happy to see Hershey safe and on the road to recovery! ❤️🐶

𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐲'𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲: 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 🐾❤️

Courtney, a 6-year-old female canine, was referred to Vet Crest for further management of 𝙣𝙚𝙥𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙨 (kidney stones)—a condition in which mineral deposits form within the kidneys, potentially leading to pain, bleeding, urinary complications, and progressive kidney damage.

Upon presentation, Courtney was experiencing hematuria (blood in the urine) and was found to have significantly elevated kidney values, indicating severe impairment of her renal function. She was immediately placed on intensive medical management and supportive care to stabilize her condition.

Once her condition had stabilized, Courtney underwent surgery to address her kidney stones. During the procedure, we discovered that her left kidney had become severely atrophied and was no longer functional, likely as a result of chronic damage caused by the longstanding disease process. Given the extent of the damage and the potential for ongoing complications, a left 𝙣𝙚𝙥𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙮 (surgical removal of the kidney) was performed.

Despite this setback, Courtney's recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. She is now back at home, active, comfortable, and enjoying life with her family once again 💛 While living with a single kidney may sound concerning, many dogs can continue to thrive and enjoy an excellent quality of life with proper monitoring and care.

Courtney's story is a testament to the importance of early detection, timely intervention, and dedicated veterinary care in managing urinary and kidney diseases. We are grateful to have been part of her journey and are delighted to see her back to her happy, playful self. ❤️🐾

It only takes a moment.

Molly, a 21-month-old Shih Tzu, she was referred to us after a chicken bone lodged in the distal esophagus.

She had an esophageal foreign body that can cause significant inflammation, ulceration, and, in severe cases, perforation if not removed promptly.

Fortunately, the bone was successfully retrieved using ENDOSCOPY, a minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualization and removal of foreign objects without the need for surgery. This often results in less discomfort and a faster recovery for the patient.

A gentle reminder to pet owners: cooked chicken bones can easily become lodged within the digestive tract and should never be offered as treats, no matter how convincing those puppy eyes may be. 🐾🐶‼️.

If you suspect your pet has swallowed a foreign object, don't wait for symptoms to worsen. Early intervention can make all the difference. Feel free to contact our team—we're here to help determine the safest and most appropriate treatment for your pet.

‼️A Reminder That Serious Disease Can Hide Behind Mild Signs 🐶‼️

Princess, a 6-year-old intact female dog, was brought in with a relatively mild complaint—occasional vomiting. Despite this, she remained bright, alert, and active at home.

Further diagnostics revealed a different story.
Her CBC showed significant evidence of infection.

Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated an enlarged, fluid-filled uterus with sacculated uterine horns containing echogenic material and a markedly thickened uterine wall—findings consistent with pyometra, a potentially life-threatening uterine infection.

Princess promptly underwent an emergency ovariohysterectomy (spay surgery) to remove the infected uterus. She recovered smoothly and was back home just 3 days later.

This case serves as an important reminder that pyometra does not always present with dramatic symptoms. Some patients may appear perfectly normal aside from subtle signs such as occasional vomiting, decreased appetite, or mild lethargy. Early diagnostics can make all the difference. 🐾

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐝𝐝𝐬: 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐲’𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 🤍

Meet Wh**ey, a 13-year-old female canine, who was admitted to Vet Crest after suddenly becoming recumbent and unable to stand or move. Upon examination, she showed severe limb rigidity, muscle stiffness, hypersensitivity to touch and sound, inability to open the mouth fully, wrinkling of the forehead with pulled-back lips, and ears held stiffly upward and backward — all clinical signs highly suggestive of 𝘁𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘀. An open infected wound on her dorsal thoracic region was also identified as the probable point of infection.

𝐓𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐬 is a serious neurologic disease caused by toxins released by Clostridium tetani, affecting the muscles and nervous system and leading to painful muscle stiffness and spasms. Without prompt and intensive treatment, the condition can become life-threatening.

Wh**ey was closely monitored while receiving intensive treatment, wound management, and supportive care throughout her recovery.

Today, Wh**ey is now able to stand, walk, and run again — a huge improvement from when she first came in. Seeing her regain her strength and mobility has been truly rewarding for everyone involved in her care. 🤍

Thank you to Wh**ey’s fur parents for their trust and commitment throughout her recovery journey 💗

Stories like Wh**ey’s remind us that healing takes time, patience, and teamwork 💗

Case Update:

Here we have Spidey, an 11-month-old German Shepherd, she was rushed in for emergency consultation due to acute onset vomiting after playing outside.

Because of the severity of her symptoms, she was immediately admitted for close observation and monitoring. Initial assessment and X-ray imaging revealed the presence of a duodenal foreign body obstruction, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition where a foreign object becomes lodged within the duodenum.

Due to the location of the obstruction, emergency surgery was strongly recommended and promptly performed. Thankfully, the procedure was done just in time before segmental necrosis (loss of blood supply and tissue death) of the intestines could occur.

During surgery, the foreign material was identified as a rubber chew toy that had caused intestinal blockage.

Today, we are very happy to share that Spidey is now fully recovered and back to her energetic, playful self 🐾

This case also serves as an important reminder for pet owners to always keep a close eye on curious pets because they love exploring the world with their mouths!

Thank you for trusting our veterinary team with Spidey’s care 🤍

Case Spotlight: Ludovic 🐾🐶

Ludovic, a 7-year-old intact female dog, was presented on emergency due to profuse vaginal bleeding.

Diagnostic evaluation, including complete blood count (CBC) and ultrasonography, confirmed open-cervix pyometra, a potentially life-threatening uterine infection requiring immediate intervention.

An emergency ovariohysterectomy was performed the same evening. The procedure was completed without complications, and the patient showed a favorable postoperative response. She was discharged the following day in stable condition.

This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and prompt surgical management in preventing severe systemic complications associated with pyometra.

‼️Reminder to pet owners‼️:

Elective ovariohysterectomy (spaying) remains the most effective preventive measure against pyometra and other reproductive tract diseases.
