This little girl is Ada! Ada was brought to our hospital when her owner noticed a wound under her chin. After Ada was sedated, the hair around the wound was shaved, the area was thoroughly cleaned, and our veterinarian placed sutures. She was given an antibiotic injection, and also prescribed pain medication to go home with. Ada was recently in to have her wound rechecked, and she is healing nicely!

What’s better than making biscuits on a rainy day?

Ernest is a sweet Basset Hound who was seen for coughing after being at doggy daycare. He was prescribed an antibiotic and cough medication. This summer, we have seen a large increase in the number of infectious respiratory cases and gastrointestinal cases (vomiting and diarrhea). Taking your pet to crowded areas such as dog parks, pet stores, and boarding and grooming facilities can increase the risk of your pet catching these illnesses. The good news is that with supportive care and the appropriate medications, these pets generally do well. If your pet has developed a cough or any type of GI symptoms, contact Animal Emergency Center at 570-742-7400 or your regular veterinarian.

This sweet little girl is Cannoli! Cannoli was seen due to vomiting. There were also worms noted in her vomit. She was treated for her worms, and also prescribed an antibiotic for an upper respiratory infection. ... Isn’t she adorable?
