Hey we really love animals at Avondale. I’m especially excited about our new canine rehabilitation facility! We have the latest equipment for strengthening muscles, improving coordination, relieving joint pain and so much more!! Our class IV Therapy Lasers are an awesome and comfortable way to relieve the pain of arthritis, to heal infected wounds, to stimulate the healing of fractures and to relieve swelling and inflammation.
Our Open House is scheduled for Nov 1st, 2009, from 1-4 PM and I hope many of you can attend. We’ll have demonstrations of all the new equipment, lots of nice door prizes and a real inside look of our 20,000 SF facility.
Hey Avondale is a really fun place to work. We are fortunate to have a great staff that love what they do………..and that’s to give exceptional care to pets and their owners! All of the doctor’s have special areas of interest from surgery to rehabilitation therapy to dentistry, dermatology and ultrasound.
The technicians at Avondale are incredibly caring and compassionate not to mention they’re really good at caring for our patients. They do whatever is necessary to make every visit or hospital stay as pleasant as possible.
And what about that awesome front office staff! They are so helpful and always have a smile on their face!
Yesterday was a really tough day. Joker, an English Setter presented with great difficulty breathing. In fact he was white as a ghost and could barely walk. Dr Carlo immediately put him on oxygen, snapped an x-ray of his chest only to find it full of fluid. She couldn’t even see the heart so she placed a butterfly catheter between the ribs and pulled off 1200 cc of blood tinged fluid. That helped Joker to breathe more easily but he was still in serious trouble. The next hurdle was to place a chest drain to pull off additional fluid from the chest. While doing this Joker became agonal and we couldn’t get his heart started again even with open heart massage. When his chest was opened he had at least 3000 cc of smelly, blood tinged fluid present. This was clearly an incredibly bad infection and Joker was just too far gone when we got him at the hospital. Tests are in progress to determine the cause of his infection.
The whole surgical team are really sad as we fully expected to save Joker. He was such a sweet dog and very brave……..a real fighter.
