Welcome to another edition of Dewdney Diaries!
November just flew by, didn’t it? Let’s go over what happened at Dewdney Animal Hospital.
Dr. Walton on CTV: How to housebreak a new puppy
In this month’s segment, Dr. Walton shared a few tricks for house-training young dogs. His approach just might surprise you!
Ivory the Pomeranian
The most gripping story of November was that of Ivory. This little pomeranian was hit by a car in Maple Ridge and brought to Dewdney Animal Hospital. She was in stable condition, but in urgent need of surgery to repair some severe injuries.
The support over social media was nothing short of amazing, as Dewdney Animal Hospital and the Maple Ridge SPCA scrambled to find the owner and receive legal authorization to perform the necessary procedures.
Strangely enough, an owner never found, and after the 48-hour waiting period expired, Dewdney Animal Hospital was able to perform surgery.
Thankfully, Ivory seems to be doing just fine now. She is staying with Dr. Hunter of Dewdney Animal Hopsital for the time being.
Please note: November was an extremely expensive month for the Maple Ridge SPCA. Please consider donating to help provide care for more animals like Ivory.
The chuckwalla with a bladder stone
This Chuckwalla had a sizeable bladder stone surgically removed. Yes, that object on the right is what we are talking about.
Needless to say, he felt much better afterwards:
This falcon came in for a checkup.
That’s not intimidating at all…
And this is why backyard chickens require veterinary care…
And because you obviously want a closer look, this is what these parasites look like under a microscope:
Thanks for following Dewdney Diaries. We’ll see what kind of surprises are in store for the holiday season!
UNTIL NEXT TIME,
DEWDNEY ANIMAL HOSPITAL
