Wellness Wonders at ADVH: Electus Parrot 🦜

Coco, an adult Eclectus parrot, visited us for her wellness check. Regular check-ups help catch any health issues early, keeping pets safe—even exotic ones like Coco. Her visit reminded us why regular care matters.

A quick trivia! Did you know Eclectus parrots are one of the most sexually dimorphic parrot species in the world, you can tell males and females apart instantly at a single glance because of their distinct colors.

Males have bright emerald green feathers, orange/yellow beaks, blue and red accents under wings and overall bright, leafy-green appearance. While females have deep crimson red head and body, black beaks, purple or blue belly and chest with darker, more contrasting colors.

At Animal Doctors Veterinary Hospital, we believe wellness checks matter for every species. Whether furry or feathered, your pet’s health is our priority💙

Schedule a visit and give your pets the care they deserve!

Proptosis in Dogs 🐶👁️

Orbie, a 3-year-old male Shih Tzu, was brought to us after engaging in a dog fight resulted in his eyeball being displaced forward from the eye socket—a condition called proptosis, which happens when a sudden increase in orbital pressure pushes the eye forward, most often from blunt trauma.

After conducting a physical exam, our attending veterinarian, Dr. Tristan, together with Nurse Dominique, Nurse Pretzel, and Nurse Yong, performed a temporary tarsorrhaphy, where the eyelids are partially sutured together to protect the cornea and prevent exposure-related damage. Kudos to their teamwork, the procedure was successful, and Orbie’s eye was saved 🤍

Proptosis is more common in brachycephalic breeds like Shih Tzus, whose eyes are naturally more exposed and have shallow eye sockets. If your dog experiences a similar case, seek immediate veterinary care to prevent permanent damage.

Angel, a lovely female intact dog, was brought to us and diagnosed with pyometra — a serious and potentially life-threatening uterine infection common in unspayed females.

She underwent a successful pyometra surgery performed by Dr. Rhod and Dr. Tristan, and while under anesthesia, a quick dental scaling and polishing was also done to help improve her oral health. 🦷✨

Angel is currently hospitalized for a few days for antibiotic therapy and pain management as she continues her recovery under our close monitoring and care. 💕

🔹 Surgical Case Highlight: Beau’s Successful Urethrostomy 🔹

Beau, a 6.1 kg Shih Tzu, was presented with urinary obstruction and inability to urinate. Radiographic evaluation revealed multiple urethral calculi, necessitating prompt surgical intervention.

Under the expertise of Dr. Dex , Beau underwent cystotomy for stone removal, urethrostomy to establish a new urinary passage, and castration with scrotal ablation to minimize postoperative complications and prevent recurrence.

The procedure was successfully completed, and Beau is now recovering well under close postoperative monitoring.

We commend Beau’s family for their prompt action and trust in our surgical team. Cases like this remind us of the importance of early diagnosis and timely surgical management in achieving favorable outcomes.

Orthopedic surgeries and fracture repair procedures are among the most common medical interventions performed at our facility. These procedures typically include interventions such internal fixation of broken bones, and minimally invasive techniques, reflecting the advanced expertise of our surgical team and the comprehensive care we provide to patients with musculoskeletal injuries.

Titan, is a male, 21 kg , Doberman dog, was presented with a left hindleg non–weight-bearing lameness following trauma. Radiographs revealed a spiral, oblique diaphyseal fracture of the tibia with mild displacement and rotation. No other orthopedic or systemic abnormalities were noted on physical examination and radiographs.

Our team with Dr. Dex and Dr. Tristan did the orthopedic procedure—a standard medial approach to the tibia was performed. The fracture was exposed, and hematoma and debris were removed. Fracture fragments were anatomically reduced and temporarily stabilized with reduction forceps.

A lag screw was placed across the oblique fracture line to achieve interfragmentary compression and restore anatomical alignment.

A 3.5 mm locking compression plate (LCP) was then contoured and applied medially. The plate was secured using 3.5 mm locking screws proximally and distally, ensuring bicortical fixation. Reduction and alignment were verified visually and radiographically intraoperatively.

Prognosis is favorable, provided postoperative care and activity restrictions are followed.
