A Series Of Emergency Surgeries

Date: 15 Jan 2021

Tags: Briar House Veterinary Surgery, dog, Emergency, puppies, Streatham Hill Vets, Wimbledon Veterinary Surgery, X-rays

This week our experienced vets were faced with some shocking cases and had to perform several emergency surgeries! They tended to some adorable pooches who had managed to swallow some very strange items. 😮

Thankfully our amazing vets were able to help these gorgeous dogs recover quickly. 😊 💜

You won’t believe what they’d eaten! Read on to find out more…

A Shocking Case At Briar House

The team at Briar House Vets recently had a really interesting case when Roxy came into the surgery. 🐶

Briar House Vets

Young Roxy was showing signs of a gastric obstruction as the owners had noticed a toy missing. 😮

When they gave Roxy an x-ray, they found that she had actually eaten THREE toys which had a total of NINE batteries in!! 😱 😱

Briar House Vets

Batteries are extremely dangerous as if the body starts to digest the casing and the acid leaks, it can cause lots of internal damage so they had to surgically remove them. 🔋

Briar House Vets

As the batteries were so small, the team also took a post-op x-ray to check that they were all gone.

Just look at what was found! 👀

We’re pleased to say that Roxy recovered brilliantly and she was discharged the following day- not before lots of cuddles of course! She was showered with love and took a few photos with the lovely vet Enrico and the fantastic new Team Briar additions – Becca their new Registered Veterinary Nurse and their new Student Veterinary Nurse placement, Grace. 😊 💕

The team made sure to give Roxy goodbye cuddles for being such a brave girl, before sending her home for some well-deserved rest. 💜 💜 💜

A Poorly Pup

⚠️  DO NOT FEED YOUR DOG BONES ⚠️

This is a very important lesson for pet owners.

Wimbledon Vets

Meet Jet.🐶  He was rushed into Wimbledon Vets after he managed to swallow a lamb rib bone whole.😱

Unfortunately bones can cause lots of problems. Bones are hard to digest and in Jet’s case will not pass through and can get stuck. In bad cases the bones can perforate through the stomach or intestines.❌  Check out the x-ray image below for a closer look.

Wimbledon Vets

Jet was rushed into surgery and thankfully our amazing Vets Harriett and Viraf managed to get the bone out. 😊

Jet is doing well and will be going home to receive lots of TLC. 💚

We gave him plenty of cuddles before he went, for being such a brave boy! 🐶 💙

 

Buster Returns to Streatham Hill Vets

This handsome boy is Buster! 🐶

Streatham Hill Vets

Buster came into Streatham Hill Vets this week as he hadn’t been eating much and had also had some episodes of vomiting. 😢

The vet had a feel of Busters abdomen and felt something solid that shouldn’t be in there! After diagnostic imaging the team came to the conclusion that Buster had eaten something he shouldn’t of and it was now stuck in his ilium (the last part of the intestines). 😱

Buster has visited the Streatham team before for something similar, when he ate the stone of a peach! 🍑  This time, our experienced vet went to remove the solid object and found out that it was actually a piece of broken off corn on the cob! 😮 🌽

Buster felt good enough to go home the next day! He has since been back for a recheck and luckily for our team, he was very keen to dish out some of his famous Buster cuddles! ❤️
