Say hello to Hank, one handsome pup!

This adorable guy recently visited IndyVet Surgery to see Dr. White and the surgery team for removal of a mass and a cryptorchid testicle, also known as a retained testicle.

Did you know retained testicles can increase the risk of developing testicular cancer if left untreated? Because of this, surgical removal is strongly recommended. Fortunately, Hank did wonderfully during surgery and recovery!

At his recheck appointment, Hank was found to be healing beautifully and was officially cleared to return to normal activity with no restrictions. We are so happy to see this sweet boy feeling great and back to being his playful self!

Bailey is placing an arterial line, which allows our team to continuously and accurately monitor a patient’s blood pressure during anesthesia. This advanced monitoring is especially important for critical patients undergoing surgery, helping our team respond quickly to even subtle changes and provide the safest care possible throughout their procedure.

At IndyVet, our anesthesia patients are cared for by specialized technicians whose primary focus is anesthesia and patient monitoring. From advanced monitoring equipment to individualized anesthetic plans, our team is committed to providing expert care for every patient, especially those facing complex or critical procedures.

Meet the most previous girl, Daisy! Daisy presented to Dr. Fiessinger and the IndyVet Emergency team after developing a hemoabdomen, or abnormal bleeding into the abdomen. An emergency ultrasound performed by Dr. Summers revealed a large splenic tumor that had ruptured and required immediate surgical intervention.

Daisy was transferred to the IndyVet Surgery team, where Dr. Kloft (surgeon) and Dr. Ramon (intern) performed a splenectomy to remove her spleen and the ruptured mass.

We are so happy to share that Daisy recently returned for her incision recheck and was found to be healing beautifully. Even better, her biopsy results confirmed the mass was a hematoma, a benign growth! We wish Daisy all the best and many years filled with love and adventure!

Meet Phillipe; a gorgeous Savannah cat who got into some mischief at home! Phillipe presented to the IndyVet Emergency Service for vomiting and not eating. Dr. Boswell quickly completed diagnostics, which included an abdominal ultrasound with Dr. Byrce, and diagnosed him with an obstruction of his small intestinal tract. The IndyVet Surgery team took Phillipe to exploratory surgery, where Dr. Kloft (surgeon), Dr. Gatens (intern), Dani (OR technician), and Jessie (anesthesia technician) performed an enterotomy to remove foreign material.

Phillipe recently had a check in with the IndyVet Surgery team, where it was reported he was completely back to his normal self and had healed well.

Ms. Bailey presented to IndyVet Surgery after referral from her primary veterinarian due to a growing mass in a difficult location. A mass removal was recommended to help remove the growing mass and ensure her ability to walk wasn't affected. Bailey did wonderfully during her procedure and recovery, even if no one told her she was supposed to take it easy during her two weeks of kennel rest! At her recent recheck appointment, Bailey was officially healed and cleared to return to normal activity. We are so happy to see this sweet girl feeling great and getting back to doing what she loves!

We’re so happy Baba is back home and feeling like herself again!

Dr. Gatens, one of IndyVet’s rotating interns, is giving Cooper some extra love after he proved to be a picture purrfect patient.

Cooper recently visited one of our board-certified veterinary internists, Dr. Bryce, for evaluation of recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) signs.

When pets experience chronic vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, or appetite changes, a GI workup may be recommended to help identify the underlying cause. Diagnostics can include bloodwork, imaging such as abdominal ultrasound, and endoscopic biopsies. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to collect small tissue samples from the GI tract to help reach a more definitive diagnosis.

Many gastrointestinal diseases can appear very similar based on symptoms alone, which is why advanced diagnostics are often an important step in guiding treatment and improving long-term outcomes. We’re proud to work together as a team to help patients like Cooper feel their best again!

Lucifer, a 16-year-old kitty, presented to Dr. Thompson and the IndyVet emergency team for vomiting and ataxia. As a diabetic patient, her blood sugar was tested immediately, revealing that it had dropped too low and was causing her symptoms.

Diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar levels, most commonly resulting in high blood sugar. Many diabetic pets require insulin to help control glucose levels; however, if blood sugar drops too low, pets can become weak, unsteady, lethargic, and in severe cases may even experience seizures. Careful monitoring of appetite, energy level, and behavior is essential for diabetic pets.

Lucifer took a little “insulin vacation” while receiving sugar supplementation and supportive care in the hospital. Thankfully, her blood sugar improved, and she quickly became a favorite of the team. This sweet girl loved being held, soaking up attention, and riding on the shoulder of one of our technicians while getting all the love she deserved.
