HEMATOMA

HEMATOMA

 

Hematoma is blood that has leaked from a ruptured vessel into surrounding tissue and forms a clot.

This condition frequently happens to dogs with drop ears: the cause is usually from some sort of blow

 

to the ear.

 

  

                                                                  (EAR FLAP HEMATOMA)

Dogs that have ear infections and shake there heads violently may accidently bump their ears.

 

Vessels are ruptured and blood then collects under the skin. The blood then forms a clot in the ear

 flap.
                                                                                                                                                                    

This particular type of hematoma requires surgery.  The surgery removes the clot and then closes the empty space to prevent the build up of fluid.

Magnets obstructions

Intestinal Obstruction is nothing new in the dog world. Dogs will pretty much swallow anything.

It’s up to you to keep your pet’s safe making sure toys and raw hides aren’t too small to swallow.

Never giving our dogs cooked bones that can splinter. An obstruction is any foreign object that is      

swallow and then interferes with the normal passage of content from the intestine to the anus.

Unfortunately dogs and young children have found a new obstruction, fridge magnets.

If your dog ingests more then one magnet the magnets can attract each other through the intestinal

wall, not only causing an obstruction but ulcerating the intestinal wall.  So keeping magnets high up

on the fridge out of the dogs reach will be a prudent prevention.

Symptoms of Intestinal obstructions

Symptoms may vary on where the blockage is but the most common signs are vomiting, lethargic,

off food, painful stomach,  and straining to have a bowel movement or not having a bowel

movement at all. Keeping a close watch on your pets and what they are chewing on will be the best

prevention to avoid this situation from happening.

Interesting fact about

French poodles did not originate in France but in Germany (“poodle” comes from the German pudel or pudelhund, meaning “splashing dog”). Some scholars speculate the poodle’s puffs of hair evolved when hunters shaved the poodle for more efficient swimming, while leaving the pom-poms around the major joints to keep them warm

Heartworm season winding down

                             With the colder weather, mosquitoes season is coming to an end!
Which means Heartworm season  will be ending soon. Either October or November depending when your dog started their Heartworm medication.
