🐾 Patient Highlight: Nixie 🐾
A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of seeing Nixie at Cedar Animal Hospital when her family brought her into our emergency room. They noticed she had spent the night panting and restless, but she was not actively having contractions. Even though she previously had a smooth delivery with a prior litter, complications during labor can arise at any time.
Her family was very attentive to her behavior and did the right thing by bringing her in for an exam and radiographs. After evaluation, our veterinarian determined that surgery was the safest option to deliver Nixie’s puppies.

Thanks to her family’s quick action and the fast intervention from our team here at Cedar Animal Hospital, all nine of Nixie’s puppies were delivered healthy 🩷
We’re so happy we got to be part of her story—and even happier to share this happy ending with you!
