It has been a crazy couple of weeks here at Tender Care Animal Hospital. We have had some interesting cases too!
Buddy* an 8 year-old male Poodle came in because his mom said he wasn't feeling well, he couldn't get comfortable, and he started vomiting. On exam, Dr. Jami noted that his abdomen was tender but not tense. After discussing her exam findings, Dr. Jami was told by Buddy's mom that she did give him a ham bone the day before everything started. Dr. Jami decided that it would be best to do blood work and x-ray's to see if there was anything in his intestinal trace. After the x-ray, Dr. Jami went over the results with Buddy's mom and showed her that there was a bone stuck in his small intestines, and needed to have surgery to remove it. Surgery was preformed that night. After surgery and an over night stay in the hospital, we are glad to say Buddy has made a full recovery at home! Why not give your dog bones:
Other treat options:
All treats/toys should only be given while your dog is being supervised. *Name has been changed
