Bella – Tachypnea Due to Heart Disease
Here is Bella, patiently waiting to go home after spending a night in the oxygen cage. She came to our clinic late at night with tachypnea, and her guardian had also noticed marked fatigue earlier during a walk. Main symptoms of heart disease (depending on the specific pathology and severity) include: easy fatigue during walks, […]
Richard – Collapsus Trachea
This is Richard (inside the oxygen cage), who came to our clinic with severe paroxysmal coughing (originating from the trachea), tachypnea, dyspnea, and cyanotic mucous membranes. His X-ray confirmed our initial suspicion: tracheal collapse. Notice how the “black tube” running through the neck suddenly narrows/disappears and then opens again. The “black tube” refers to the […]
Tsiki – Spay & Dental Cleaning
Spay + dental cleaning! It’s always a good opportunity to perform a dental cleaning alongside a routine surgical procedure, as two interventions can be completed under a single general anesthesia. For this to be possible, surgical timing must always allow it. The surgeon and anesthesiologist will decide at the time whether the anesthesia can be […]
Booze – Feline Urinary Syndrome (FUS)
Booze visited us late at night and ended up staying in our inpatient unit (without losing his appetite for cuddles!). Reason for admission: FUS (Feline Urinary Syndrome). Also known as lower urinary tract disease. It’s a relatively common condition in male cats, characterized by an inability to urinate. This is an emergency case! Immediate veterinary […]
Lilly – Rectal Prolapse
Lilly is… on board and patiently waiting for her guardian to take her home after discharge! She was brought to our clinic with a rectal prolapse. Reduction was performed, followed by the placement of sutures using the purse-string technique. What caused the prolapse? In this case, chronic diarrhea. It is important for the veterinarian, beyond […]
Froyo – Cryptorchidism
This handsome boy is Froyo! He came to us with cryptorchidism — meaning that one of his testicles had not descended into its normal position. With the help of ultrasound, it is essential to determine the exact location of the undescended testicle (which may be in the abdominal cavity or the inguinal canal). Treatment? Orchiectomy […]
Dona – Mammary Mass
With her kindness and patience (for putting up with us), Dona has truly stolen our hearts! She came to us with a mass in the mammary region. Essential diagnostics: Blood tests, thoracic radiographs, and abdominal ultrasound to check for metastases. Fortunately, all results came back clear! Treatment: Mastectomy combined with spaying. In such cases, spaying […]
Zoi – Pyometra
Here you can see Zoi! She was brought to our clinic after her guardian noticed vaginal discharge about a week after the end of her heat cycle, along with marked lethargy. Diagnosis (via abdominal ultrasound): Pyometra. Treatment (surgical): Ovariohysterectomy. ✔️Outcome: Zoi is now happy, energetic, and enjoying her morning walk just one day after surgery! […]
Roko – Preventive Elbow & Hip X-rays
Roko visited us for preventive elbow and hip radiographs. Breeds such as German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Cane Corsos, Labradors, and many other large-breed dogs should ideally — if not necessarily — undergo preventive X-rays of these joints. The reason is that these breeds have a genetic predisposition to hip or elbow dysplasia. Recommended age for […]
Dukas – Acute Pancreatitis
Dukas visited us from Salamina, presenting with severe gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting and diarrhea) and complete anorexia. Diagnosis: Acute pancreatitis. Typical symptoms – vomiting, diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, anorexia. Diagnostic tools – Abdominal ultrasound can visualize pancreatic inflammation. Blood tests (CBC, biochemistry, and cPLi) are essential to assess the patient’s condition and detect any secondary complications. […]
