Saving lives!

Today before anything happened an emergency came in. It was a yorkie that had eaten 16 ibuprofen! She was shivering, temp of 35, barely awake. So we put her on fluids, gave her stuff to make her vomit, but she wouldn't. She was so down she didn't even have a swallow reflex so we couldn't give her any charcoal either. Her prognosis wasn't too great. But gradually we got her temp up and pumped her full of fluids so her kidneys would fail (hopefully) and have her some antacids to combat the gastric ulcers the ibuprofen would form. Her owners were coming in to basically PTS her but she was bright and her temp was rising and her heart rate slowing and they decided to continue treatment and she left looking great! There still is a 5 day period during which time her kidneys coil fail so we're gonna have to watch her, but hopefully she does well! We also had a dental where we pulled out a massive canine out of a dogs mouth, so that was pretty impressive. There was a PTS which was pretty sad, but the dog seemed to really be going downhill so it

Sounded like it was the right thing to do. And we radiographed a chinchilla do that was pretty cool! Plus they're digital, so even better! Other than that lots of rechecks, puppies, etc.
