Cotton bud tip stuck in dog's ears

If a cotton bud tip is accidentally stuck in your dog's ear, do not attempt to remove it through tweezers or any tools, you might push it into the deeper portion of the ear canal or worst you might hit the ear drum.
Even if your dog looks fine , please schedule a visit. Your VET will use an otoscope to locate the tip and safely remove it. If your dog is too anxious, he/she might need light sedation for your dog's safety and your safety.

Everyday is a beautiful day to save pet lives 🫰

Intestinal volvulus ( twisting of intestine)

This is life threatening to our pets, time bounded emergency cases where the bowel twists upon itself, this blocks blood supply and causes rapid tissue death. Immediate veterinary surgery is needed in order to untangle the intestine, remove dead tissue and prevent fatal shock.
Possible factors that may contribute:
- drinking or eating quickly
- swallowing excessive air
- running after meals

Emergency cases are challenging because this is a life threatening situation that requires fast & quick thinking in order to treat physical injuries, unconsciousness, poisoning, and illnesses that might not show their full effects for 24-48 hours.
Keeping your pet's medical information and your Vet's contact information will help a lot.
It is also important for the attending Vet, vet team & owner to stay calm, assess the situation in order to provide relevant information needed.
