🌊"Seas" the day with Captain Dolly! 👩‍✈️

💔Dolly first came to our incredible Emergency team after developing pericardial effusion, an abnormal buildup of fluid in the sac surrounding the heart. Working alongside our outpatient Cardiology service, our team discovered that Dolly had a mass at the base of her heart that was contributing to the fluid buildup.

From there, it truly became a team effort. Our Emergency, outpatient Cardiology, Oncology, and Surgery teams collaborated to determine the best treatment plan for Dolly. 🤝

🧐Our Surgery team performed a pericardial window, a procedure in which a small portion of the sac surrounding the heart (the pericardium) is removed. This allows the abnormal fluid to drain away from the heart, helping prevent dangerous pressure from building up and allowing the heart to function more normally.

Following surgery, Dolly transitioned to our Oncology team and started chemotherapy to help control her tumor and reduce the risk of continued fluid production. 😇

🙌We’re so happy to share that Dolly has been doing wonderfully with her treatments, and we absolutely love getting to see her!

Dolly’s story is a wonderful example of how collaborative our specialty and emergency teams are! It highlights our shared goal of providing the best possible care for our patients. 🤩

🥰A huge thank you to Dolly’s family and veterinarian for trusting our team with this very special girl!

🥵 We're expecting a very hot weekend, so here are some reminders and a handy chart!

🐶🐱Cats and dogs are both at risk of heat stroke if they are left outside too long!
Please refer to this chart when determining how much outdoor fun your pet should have this weekend. 👇

😻 A few reminders:
🌞 Cats and dogs can suffer heatstroke when left outside or in a car too long.
🌞 Heatstroke can happen in as little as 20 minutes when temperatures get as hot as they do in Central Texas.
🌞 Keeping your pets indoors is the best way to protect against heatstroke. Avoid walking dogs in the middle of the day, and provide shade and water when they have to go outside.
🌞 Keep your indoor/outdoor kitties in the house during the heat of the day.

🚨 Heatstroke is a life-threatening emergency! Symptoms include:
🙀 Excessive panting
🙀 Vomiting
🙀 Lethargy
🙀 Appearing confused or uncoordinated
🙀 High temperature or hot to the touch

☎️ If you think your pet may be experiencing heatstroke, you can call us at 737-241-5756 or come right in!

Take care of yourselves and your pets during this weekend's heat! 😎

❤️🚨We are so excited to share that we are adding another criticalist! 😺

Dr. Matt Crawford-Jennnings will join our emergency and critical care team in October! 🎃

🎓 Matt was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He completed veterinary school and a rotating small animal internship at Virginia Tech (2022 and 2023, respectively), followed by a residency in small animal emergency and critical care at North Carolina State University in 2026.

🩺 He enjoys the fast pace and client education associated with emergency medicine, the acuity and technical skill of the ICU, teaching at various levels, and monitoring and performing emergency abdominal surgeries.
His professional interests include advanced fluid therapy and electrolyte management, sepsis, point of care ultrasound (POCUS), and locoregional/multimodal analgesia.

🏥 Inside the hospital, Matt can often be heard laughing and making dad jokes with his goal of making everyone he meets laugh at least once throughout the day.

😻 Outside of work, he enjoys playing video games, reading sci-fi books, watching horror and thriller movies, and trying out new breweries with his husband, Styles. They have three cats (Hero, Kai, and Nova) and one rabbit (Bunilla Ice). 🐰

🥰 We are so excited to welcome Dr. Crawford-Jennings to our Pet Specialists of Austin team!
