Y’all ready for a tear jerker of a miraculous story with an incredibly happy ending !? Well here ya go! Everyone meet Molly and her amazing family 🥰 We met Molly about two weeks ago. Molly was just living her best life, playing outside, chasing cats 🐈🙈 when she ran into the road and was hit by a car 😢. Her daddy raced her to the emergency clinic. She quickly went into a seizure and became unresponsive. Dr. Christie Rollins Clinton and her amazing technicians worked fast to stabilize her. Most importantly, they had to try hard to prevent any further brain bleeding/ swelling. This is a tricky and unpredictable task to say the least. Dr. Clinton and her team used every resource available to protect her brain and then waited on pins and needles to see if the treatments were going to work. Through out her stay in ICU that night she started to regain consciousness, her vision and the ability to walk. She also didn’t have any more seizure 👏🏼❤️🤗. Just 12 hours after sustaining a Traumatic Brain Injury from being hit by a car, this TOUGH little lady walked out of ICU all on her own 🥳🙏🏼🤯 She was not 100% mentally appropriate but she sure as heck had made a miraculous recovery up to that point ❤️‍🩹!! Mom said it took her a couple days to regain her coordination but after that she seemed to have returned to her sweet, loving self !! She had her human family AND her sister by her side through out her entire recovery. They all took such great care of her and no doubt played a very important part in her recovery! Molly came into the clinic today to have her staples removed from the lacerations she had also received during her accident. Those too had fully healed! She was very excited to see us today and we were just as excited to see her doing so AMAZINGLY AWESOME! ❤️❤️❤️ Molly and her family filled our hearts with such happiness today and we wish them many more years of fun times with Molly girl! 😊

This dashingly handsome boys name is BOSS 😍 This poor guy was hit by a car and suffered life threatening injuries. His owners rushed him to the EVC immediately after the accident. Dr. Mariah Fischer worked quickly to stabilize him and assess the full extent of his injuries. She quickly found out that he had multiple rib fractures, shoulder blade fracture, bleeding into his chest cavity and a collapsed lung. Dr. Fischer and her team of amazing veterinary technicians worked fast to inflate his collapsed lung. They performed a procedure called a thoracocentesis aka chest tap. This procedure allows the Veterinarian to drain air and/or fluid from the chest which then allows the damaged lung to reinflate. Boss quickly stabilized and did well in ICU most of the night. Unfortunately, the bleeding and air leak continued overnight and it became apparent that he needed a chest tube surgically placed to keep his lungs inflated. Dr. Christie Rollins Clinton took over Boss’ care that morning. She placed a chest tube, draining a large amount of air and fluid from around his lungs which quickly stabilized him again. He was in ICU for the next several days while we managed his chest tube and his pain. He proved just how tough and SWEEEET he is to all those who took such amazing care of him. He went home about 5 days after his accident. He still had broken bones that needed a couple months to fully heal but he went home able to breathe well on his own 👏🏼🙏🏼❤️‍🩹. We spoke to his family today and they let us know he had made a full recovery ! 🤗🥳❤️🤗🥳❤️We are so blessed to have been a part of his amazing road to a FULL recovery 😊

Everyone meet ZULA 😍 This beautiful, sweet and TOUGH girl fought a battle many dogs do not win and we are SO happy to share her amazing story with y’all! We met Zula about two months ago. She was extremely critical when her dad carried her almost lifeless body inside the clinic. We quickly began to stabilize her and identify what caused her extremely critical condition. Dr. Christie Rollins Clinton discovered that poor Zula had a decomposing fetus inside her uterus that caused her uterus to rupture. She successfully delivered her whole litter except for this one. So infected, necrotic fetal tissue and fluid were accumulating in her abdomen causing a Septic Abdomen. There are various causes of a Septic Abdomen and every single time the diagnosis comes with a very guarded prognosis.😞It takes surgery and aggressive treatment to try and clear the infection raging in the patient’s abdomen. Lucky for Zula, her dad was on board with letting her Veterinary Team at the EVC try their best. And boy did we try! Zula went through TWO abdominal surgeries and had a week long stay in ICU where over a dozen highly skilled and dedicated Veterinary Technicians and Veterinarians worked day and night to save her life. Zula was an absolute JOY to be around from the minute she arrived until the minute she was discharged and even when she came back for suture removal!!😍🐾❤️Everyone that helped take care of her immediately fell in love with her ❤️ It was an absolute miracle watching her trot out of the Vet Clinic into her dads waiting arms the day she was discharged 🥲🙏🏼❤️ We spoke to dad today who told us that Zula is doing AMAZING and appears to have made a full recovery !! 👏🏼🥳❤️🙏🏼

Pictured below is Zula with her abdominal drain tubes right after surgery, Zula after she buried herself in a blanket to keep warm and cozy, Zula eating dog food for Dr. Clinton ON HER OWN which was a HUGE milestone, Zula fully recovered and at home posing so pretty for dad’s camera 🤗😍🥳

Wanna hear a story about Christmas Miracles !? We have one we would love to share ❤️

Everyone meet Casey! He quickly became one of our favorite patients of all times. We met Casey and his family 4 short weeks ago. Casey and his family were visiting their family Thanksgiving weekend. Casey was playing outside with his best buds, just living his best life, when he was attacked by an unknown predator. His injuries were severe and life threatening. His parents knew he needed immediate Veterinary care so they rushed him to the EVC. Casey was painful and in shock but somehow handling his injuries impressively well. Initial assessment revealed wounds to his chest, back, neck and at least one rib fracture. His wounds needed to be cleaned, explored and repaired but he needed to be stabilized first. He received pain medications, antibiotics, a chest wrap, IV fluids and O2 therapy for a couple hours before he was stable enough for surgery. Casey was looking great just prior to his surgery, never letting on just how bad his injuries really were. Dr.Christie Rollins Clinton quickly discovered during surgery that all the tissue between three different rib spaces were SHREDDED 😳! Dr. Clinton had to work fast to repair his chest wall so that his lungs could inflate and he could breathe on his own again. A chest tube was placed to allow drainage of fluid and air. REMARKABLY, Casey had a pretty smooth recovery at first. We were able to remove his chest tube just two days after surgery ! 👏🏼👏🏼 About 5 days post op he developed a draining tract. 😞 His wounds were cleaned and bandaged daily, antibiotics and pain medications continued. About 12 days post op it was determined his wounds were not healing normally due to the continued drainage and they needed to be explored. Dr. Clinton took Casey back to surgery and found that his broken rib had shifted and was the source of the fluid accumulation/draining tract. The rib was resected, his wounds cleaned and closed up once more. Casey literally never missed a beat after his second surgery ! He felt so good so quick that his parents had trouble keeping him calm during his recovery period. We saw him tonight for his final recheck and suture removal. He was trotting around the clinic sporting his adorable blue hoodie like nothing ever happened. Half a dozen Veterinarians and close to a dozen veterinary technicians all had a hand in Casey’s miraculous recovery ❤️‍🩹 We are so blessed to have been able to help Casey have a very Merry Christmas with his AMAZING family !

Picture below: Casey immediately after his first surgery, Casey day 2 post op after his chest tube was removed, Casey with his favorite vet tech who took such good care of him those first couple critical nights, and Casey, his brother Colton, his mom and dad a just a few staff members who helped Casey make such a miraculous recovery 😍

This SWEEET girl is named Carly 😍. We had the pleasure of meeting Carly and her family 4 short days ago. Miss Carly was referred to us at the Emergency Veterinary Clinic because her regular veterinarian discovered she was anemic. With a few more diagnostic tests, Dr. Christie Rollins Clinton discovered Carly had experienced a life threatening bleed into her pericardial sac 😳!! The pericardial sac surrounds the heart and is not suppose to contain fluid of any type…. Even blood! The heart can not fill up and pump blood through out the body if the pericardial sac fills with fluid and compresses the heart. This LIFE THREATENING condition is called cardiac tamponade. Carly’s blood pressure was dropping and she was very weak from her anemia and cardiac tamponade. We had to act quick and remove the blood from her pericardial sac (a procedure called a pericardiocentesis) so that her heart could pump effectively again. Carly quickly started to stabilize after this procedure. She also received a plasma and a blood transfusion along with a few other life saving medications. It was determined Carly somehow, unbeknownst to her owners, ingested rat poison a few days before she came to the EVC. There are a few types of rat poison. The particular type that Carly ingested prevents blood from clotting. Vitamin K is the antidote/treatment for anticoagulant based rat poisons. Carly came back for a recheck with Dr. Clinton today! Recheck chest ultrasound and physical exam shows she’s doing GREAT! 🤗👏🏼❤️‍🩹🙌🏽 Carly will still need to be on her Vitamin K supplement for the next month to prevent any future bleeding. We expect her to make a full recovery ❤️🤗❤️🤗

💡 Did you know?! 💡

If your pet comes to the Emergency Vet Clinic and needs a blood transfusion, most of the time, it is a staff’s pet that helps save their lives! A large part of our blood donors are our staff’s pets. We literally could not do it without them! We have feline and canine donors at the EVC.
