Pet of the month for February goes to this beautiful boy Murphy. Murphy came in as his owners has called us saying that he had thrown up 1 of the pair of undies he had eaten a few days before. Due to his history of ingesting items, we decided the best thing to do would be to have him straight in for an ultrasound. An ultrasound was performed and unfortunately foreign material was found stuck in his intestine.
That afternoon Murphy was taken into surgery with Dr Raj who performed an exploratory laparotomy- this means we had to cut open his abdomen to find & remove the foreign material blocking his intestines in this case it was the other undies he ingested.
Murphy’s surgery went very well & he woke up and recovered nicely. Since his surgery he is back to his normal playful self. We would like to thank his family for taking great care of Murphy.
