Princess Donut was playing with a pom pom ball with googly eyes attached and accidentally ingested one of the googly eyes. Cats are notoriously difficult to induce vomiting on when you actually want them to vomit. 🙃 Luckily Princess Donut obliged and we were able to recover the missing googly eye! Here's looking at you Princess Donut 👀👑🍩

Genesis had been seen previously at her primary veterinarian for a small wound on her cheek and had received an antibiotic for a potential infection. She had been improving ever since that visit. At that time, the hole on her neck was not present. Genesis’ owners noticed a small hole develop on her neck and brought her to EVS three days later. She was diagnosed at EVS with a cuterebra, which is a fly larvae that had developed and created a “breathing hole” after it had migrated and as it was maturing underneath Genesis’ skin.

Cuterebra are common in the summer and fall, and can occur on cats and dogs. They can progress to systemic illness such as neurological issues, secondary infections and abcesses, as well as causing inflammatory processes in the body if left untreated. The head and neck are common areas for Cuterebra to form on cats. Keeping cats indoors can lower the risk of a Cuterebra forming, but any cat is at risk if a wound is present, as flies can also been seen indoors. 🪰🪰🪰

Genesis is a super sweet kitty and let Dr. Smith numb the area around the “breathing hole”, widen the hole, and remove the Cuterebra intact and wiggling! She was a brave kitty for the procedure and didn’t seem bothered by the procedure at all. Since she had previously received an antibiotic injection a few days prior, her family was instructed to continue to watch the area as it healed and notify their primary veterinarian if anything changes. We are so glad that Genesis’ family trusted us with her care. 🥰Happy healing Genesis ❤️‍🩹

Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus is a life-threatening emergency where a dog’s stomach fills with gas and twists on itself. Common signs are unproductive retching, abdominal distention, drooling, anxiety, and pacing. This is also commonly known as "bloat."

Hopper’s family knew the signs of GDV and brought her in immediately to see us. After taking abdominal x-rays, Hopper was officially diagnosed with GDV and taken into surgery. In surgery, Dr. Jessica Graves manipulated the stomach back into its correct position and performed a gastropexy which tacks the stomach permanently to the body wall so it cannot twist in the future. Hopper’s family reports that she is recovering fabulously! Big thanks to Hopper’s family for trusting us with her care. She’s such a big sweetheart. 🥰🥰🥰
