 She is a goofy and loveable 11-year-old Labrador retriever mix. Kenya M. was brought in at the beginning of the month after a mass on the patient's spleen was discovered by Valley Veterinary Emergency & Referral Clinic. Kenya came in lethargic and could barely walk. Our Dr. Swisher and two talented technicians performed a splenectomy on the patient. While performing the surgery, there were a few difficulties, but Dr. Swisher and our technicians were up to the task. It was discovered that the mass on the spleen was a benign hematoma. Following surgery, Kenya returned to the clinic for two follow-up visits. At each visit, the patient was content and barking. The staff at Meadow Branch Animal Hospital are overjoyed to see our patient Kenya M. content and making a full recovery!  A foreign object was extracted from Bo, a very handsome 5-year-old Mastiff's stomach. The foreign object was a silicone slow feeder for pets. Our talented technical staff & brilliant Dr. Swisher performed a gastrotomy to be able to retrieve the pieces of silicone. Bo is now back to being his young, goofy self nine days after this procedure. Owners stated that he simply reverted to his laid-back, fun-loving nature. At Meadow Branch Animal Hospital, we work hard to give each patient the best treatment possible. Bo’s remarkable recovery and his happy family have brought the staff much joy. Important fact to remember: Just because it's not edible, does not mean it’s not ingestible.  Lady, a stunning 10-year-old hound, had a sizable renal mass. An exploratory laparotomy confirmed need of nephrectomy, which was performed by Dr. Marcelo, assisted by Dr. Swisher and our nursing team. Only nine days had passed since Lady's surgery, and at each of her follow-up appointments, the owners gushed about how well she had recovered. At Meadow Branch Animal Hospital, we take great satisfaction in giving our patients top-notch care. We are pleased to see the return of another content patient to their family. |
