New England Equine

Our sales manager Rich visited New England Equine Practice in Patterson, NY today. 

While he was there, he was able to assist in a Laparoscopic Mesh Incisional Hernioplasty on an equine patient (and he managed to get a couple of good surgical selfies!)

Taconic Rt. 202 24 Hr. Veterinary Hospital In-House Service

Yesterday, our sales manager Rich performed an in-house service at the Taconic Rt. 202 24 Hour Veterinary Hospital to help with their recently purchased Richard Wolf Scope and accessories. 

While he was there, he was able to watch Dr. Berk and Dr. Carbone use the equipment to perform a biopsy via rhinoscopy in a cat with a possible tumor.

They very graciously allowed us to share the pictures.

(Don't) Give a dog a bone...

Do you or someone you know still insist on giving dogs real bones to chew on?

Fragments of bones can very easily break off and be swallowed by the dog. Broken bone fragments can end up causing damage to the esophagus and stomach. If the fragments are sharp enough, they can pierce the stomach or intestines, causing infection or in serious cases, even death.

Take a look at these photos and decide if it's what you want your dogs esophagus and stomach to look like!

Ouch - sore, red stomach from bones

Big bone being removed. Yup, they will eat them whole sometimes and yes, we can usually get the out with endoscopy

See the sharp edges the bones can have!

Erosion from bones

Sharp shards can penetrate stomach or intestines and cause infection and even death.

Lesions after removal of esophageal bone

Look how sharp the pointed end is - like a razor blade. Scary!

Nearly full thickness ulcer from bone in previous photo. Lucky for this dog, his owner and veterinarian were progressive in getting him scoped before this perforated.

Any kind of bone can cause damage - raw, cooked, beef, pork, etc.
 Dr. Amy Allen from Animal Internal Medicine has suggested that instead of bones, you can give your dog Kongs (bone and original) or Nylabones. She says no antlers - while they don't cause foreign body issues very often, they can break teeth. No raw hides either, unless the dogs are supervised and the pieces that break off or become too small can be removed. 

There's no bones about it, bones cause damage wherever they go! Thankfully, most fragments are able to be removed via endoscopy. You can learn about our retrievers at our webstore. 

All pictures and captions were graciously shared with us from the 
Animal Internal Medicine Facebook. 
Animal Internal Medicine is a mobile veterinary endoscopy unit for the San Francisco Bay area.

If you're a vet, share this with your clients to help save a dog's life!
