Gul, a 1 year old male cat was brought in after a car accident. The presence of blood in his urine and slight difficulty in breathing prompted us to get an x-ray which revealed a diaphragmatic hernia. A diaphragmatic hernia is a condition wherein the diaphragm gets torn, as a result of which the abdominal organs such a the intestines and stomach enter the chest cavity. It occurs very commonly in cats following trauma. Surgical repair of this condition requires specialised equipments including a ventilator which ensures that the animal continues to breathe during the surgery. At MaxVets, advanced surgical equipments allow us regularly perform thoracic surgeries such as thoracic duct ligations for chylothorax, vascular ring anomaly correction, thoracic mass removals etc. At his post op check today we were happy to see that Gul has recovered well from surgery and is back to being his curious and exploring self.
Happy new year to you and your furry buddies from all of us at MaxVets!!! Just another reminder to keep your pets away from the party leftovers and human foods. We took out a whole rib from the stomach of a tiny 3 month old poodle puppy just a day before New year's Eve. We used a laparoscope assisted procedure to allow him the speediest recovery and we were glad to see him back in his usual form this morning! Once again we wish you all a happy and healthy 2018!
At MaxVets, nothing brings us more joy than making our furry buddies feel better. When it is a question of restoring their eyesight, the joys are even greater. This is us spreading some of our Christmas cheer- Of the various cataract surgeries performed over the last month, we had 3 particularly memorable procedures. Gia is a 7 year old female Cocker Spaniel, Chinu is a recently adopted 4 year old female mix breed street dog and Calvin is a 5 year old male Labrador. Both Gia and Calvin came to us with severely compromised vision as a result of the cataracts in both eyes and were constantly bumping into objects while Chinu had a cataract in only one eye. At MaxVets we usually use phacoemulsification for cataract surgery, which is a specialist microsurgical procedure (requiring the use of an operating microscope) and is regularly performed at MaxVets. This is the current recommended procedure for most types of cataracts, which uses the smallest possible incision often with no sutures required, therefore having the advantages of minimal post operative scarring. All three of them recovered well after the procedure and have had promising improvements in vision in a very short time. For all pet owners, it is important to realise that veterinary advice must be sought as soon as possible if a cataract is suspected or diagnosed since best post operative results are reported with more recent cataracts.
We at MaxVets wish you all a very merry festive season! We do however urge you to be extra vigilant over the next couple of weeks; Chocolate and raisins from Christmas cakes and treats are extremely toxic to dogs and we hope you are able to keep them out of your pets reach. We've already had two chocoholic dogs needing treatment for raiding the Christmas supplies this week! If your dog eats chocolate you should contact our 24 hour emergency service immediately for advice. Chocolate poisoning can be fatal so fast treatment is absolutely essential.

LESSON OF THE WEEK We at MaxVets always advise pet parents to never feed their dogs any bones. Here is why- In the last week, Kalu, a 1 year old male mix breed dog and Sugar, a 2 month old female Cocker Spaniel, were referred to us for investigation and removal of foreign bodies. The x-rays attached revealed bones in the esophagus (food pipe). In both dogs, the bones were lodged at the level of the chest, referred to as the thoracic esophagus. Sugar, the Cocker spaniel also had fluid in her lungs, possibly a result of sharp bone edges penetrating through the food pipe into the wind pipe (i.e. trachea). We were able to remove the bones using an endoscope in Sugars case. Endoscopic retrieval is a non invasive procedure wherein a camera is introduced through the mouth and the object is removed under direct visualisation. Kalu however was not as lucky. Despite many attempts to grasp and pull the bone out with an endoscope we were unsuccessful. We then had to convert to an open surgical procedure to remove the bone. Although they both recovered well after the procedures the risks of feeding bones to your pets are immense. Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract can occur due to the sharp edges of bone pieces, and severity of associated complications varies depending the are affected. So once again we urge you not to feed your pets any bones.
A 2 year old female Indian breed dog was brought to the clinic following a road traffic accident as a result of which, was unable to stand on her back legs. A through assessment for trauma was carried out immediately. X-rays of the pelvis showed a dislocation of the attachment of the pelvis with the spine (sacro-illiac luxation) which is visible on the left side of the x-ray. Surgical stabilisation of such luxations are specialised neuro-orthopaedic procedures, which allow the dog to be able to stand and walk sooner as well as prevent narrowing of the pelvic canal and associated problems in the long term. For this dog, a lag screw along with a trans illiac pin was used to achieve stability, both of which are visible in the post operative x-rays. Such dislocations often occur with other fractures in the pelvis. In this case, although pelvic fractures were present on the right side, they did not require surgery. After a trouble free post operative period, she was discharged in good condition.
A 9 month old beagle was brought to the clinic having swallowed a collar bell. X-ray images were taken immediately and clearly showed the object in the stomach. A non invasive gastroscopy procedure was performed to retrieve the bell. An endoscope was introduced through the mouth and the object was grasped and pulled out with no complications. The puppy recovered well after the procedure and was discharged in good condition. Endoscopy at MaxVets it performed routinely as a diagnostic aid in cases of chronic vomiting as well as for foreign body removal.
A Laparoscopic ovariectomy (removal of ovaries) was performed on a 2 year old Labrador today. It is a minimally invasive alternative to the conventional ovariohysterectomy procedures (removal of uterus and ovaries through an incision in the abdomen), which is performed routinely for spaying female dogs. Advantages of this specialised surgical procedure include - Smaller incision. Only three 5 millimeter incisions are needed to facilitate port placement. - Faster recovery with no restrictions on activity after surgery. - Lower risk of infection after surgery - No Elizabeth collar/cone in the post operative period - No wound dressings required. Laparoscopy at MaxVets is being used regularly for multiple surgical conditions, such as retained abdominal testicle removal, bladder stone removal, retrieval of objects from stomach inaccessible via endoscopy etc.
A 6 month old Yorkshire Terrier was brought to the clinic with a fractured front leg after a fall from the bed. Immediate X-rays revealed a Y-fracture of the distal humerus bone. Advanced diagnostic facilities and specialised orthopedic surgery at MaxVets helped preserve joint function despite the complicated nature of the fracture which also involved the elbow joint. Before and after X-ray images of the fracture show the use of a lag screw, T plate and contoured reconstruction plate to reconstruct the fractured bone. The dog has recovered well with good limb movement and range of motion.
