即將踏入夏季，如果您懷疑寵物中暑，以下是一些應該採取的措施。即時採取行動對病情有很大幫助。1) 將寵物移到一個涼爽的環境：即時將寵物移到一個涼爽的環境，例如有空調的房間或者戶外的陰涼處。2) 提供凍水：給寵物提供涼爽、新鮮的水，切勿強迫牠們喝水，也不要強行灌水，因為這可能有危險。3) 使用凍水：使用涼爽（而不是冰冷的）水濕潤寵物的毛髮，特別是肚子和腳掌位置，然後用扇子給牠們降低體溫。不要使用冰水或者把寵物浸泡在水中，因為這可能會令血管收縮，更難降溫。4) 尋求獸醫護理：即使您的寵物看起來已經康復，也要盡快尋求獸醫協助。中暑可能會導致內部損傷，這些損傷可能不會即時察覺，並可能導致死亡。VSH在香港及九龍都設有醫院，全年無休，提供急症及緊急護理服務。專科獸醫醫院 - 香港，灣仔道165-171號地下至2樓專科獸醫醫院 - 九龍，何文田自由道7號地下至1樓 As summer approaches, here are some of things you should do if you suspect your pet is experiencing heatstroke. It is important to take immediate action to help your pet.1) Move your pet to a cooler environment: Move your pet to a cooler environment immediately, such as an air-conditioned room or a shaded area when you are on outdoors.2) Provide water: Offer your pet cool, fresh water to drink, but don’t force them to drink or force feed water as this might be dangerous.3) Apply cool water: Use cool (not cold) water to wet your pet’s fur, especially their belly and paws, and fan them to help reduce their body temperature. Do not use ice water or immerse your pet in water, as this can cause their blood vessels to constrict, making it harder for them to cool down.4) Seek veterinary care: Even if your pet appears to recover, it is essential to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. Heatstroke can cause internal damage that may not be immediately visible and could lead to death.VSH has hospitals on both sides of the harbour and are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergencies and urgent care.VSH Hong Kong, G/F-2/F, 165-171 Wan Chai Road, Wan ChaiVSH Kowloon, G/F-1/F, 7 Liberty Avenue, Ho Man TinTel: 24082588

此患寵被轉介到VSH的外科專科服務，因為患有右側副甲狀腺腫大和高鈣血症。副甲狀腺是四個位於狗狗頸部甲狀腺附近的小腺體。這些腺體負責產生和調節副甲狀腺激素（PTH）荷爾蒙，該荷爾蒙參與調節血液中的鈣和磷水平。高鈣血症的症狀是血液中的鈣水平異常升高，可能會導致心臟異常或出現神經症狀，如癲癇發作、昏迷，甚至在嚴重情況下導致死亡。透過Virginie醫生精湛的超聲波技術，在頸部超聲波檢查中發現了副甲狀腺的一個結節。在超聲波診斷後進行了電腦掃描，以制定更好的手術計劃。過度活躍的腺體是高鈣血症的原因，於同一天由VSH專科獸醫 Dr Francois Saulnier進行手術。出於擔憂，醫生將整個右甲狀腺及副甲狀腺一起切除。駐場放射診斷科專科獸醫令患寵可以在一次的診症內即時接受完整的診斷和治療。病患的鈣水平現已正常，並從手術中康復過來！A patient was referred to the VSH Surgery team for having an enlarged right parathyroid gland and hypercalcemia (elevated calcium level in the blood). The parathyroid glands are four small glands located near the thyroid gland in the neck of dogs. These glands are responsible for producing and regulating the hormone parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood. Hypercalcemia is a medical condition in which there is an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood, which can cause cardiac abnormalities or neurological symptoms like seizures, coma, and even death in severe cases.An ultrasound of the neck was performed by Dr Virginie De Busscher, VSH Diagnostic Imager Specialist, and an abnormal nodule of the parathyroid gland was found. A CT scan was performed after the diagnosis from the ultrasound to form a better map to plan for surgery. This abnormal nodule was the reason for hypercalcemia, and surgery was performed on the same day by VSH Surgery Specialist Dr François Saulnier. By having an on-site Diagnostic Imager Specialist working with our Surgery Specialist, patients can receive a full diagnosis and treatment in one single visit. The patient’s calcium levels are normal now and has recovered well from surgery!

天氣開始變得熱起來啦！我們都期待著陽光與海灘及郊遊，不過要記得，寵物只需要幾分鐘就可以中暑。毛髮濃密或扁面的品種比其他寵物更容易過熱。預防中暑方法包括：1）只在涼快時段遛狗，並檢查路面溫度，避免在中午或正午時段遛狗；2）提供陰涼和水源以保持水分；3）即使開了車窗，也不要把寵物留在車內。中暑的症狀包括喘氣，流口水和倒地。如果您懷疑寵物過熱，就要迅速採取行動並尋求緊急獸醫護理。中暑可能會引起嚴重的併發症，包括腦損傷、器官衰竭甚至死亡。 九龍及香港VSH 全天候提供急症和緊急獸醫護理。今個夏天記得要保持安全和涼爽。 #寵物健康 #中暑意識 #急症獸醫 #緊急獸醫護理 #夏季小貼士The weather is getting hot! While we’re excited for upcoming sunny beach days and hikes, it is important to remember that pets can suffer from heatstroke in just a matter of minutes. Breeds with thick coats or are flat-faced are more predisposed to overheating than others.Prevent heatstroke by:1) Only walking when it’s cool and check the pavement temperature, this means avoiding noontime or the mid-day sun2) Provide shade and water for hydration3) Never leave a pet in the car, even with a window open.Signs of heatstroke include panting, drooling, and collapse. If you suspect your pet is overheating, it’s important to act fast and seek emergency veterinary care. Heatstroke can cause serious health complications, including brain damage, organ failure, and even death. VSH have locations on both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and are here to provide prompt veterinary attention should your pet needs emergency or urgent care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Stay safe and cool this summer. #pethealth #heatstrokeawareness #veterinaryemergency #emergencyvet #summertips

最近，本院醫生為患有食慾不振及黃疸症狀的寵物進行檢查。黃疸症狀: 皮膚、眼白及牙肉變黃，由於體內的黃色素又名為膽紅素積聚所致。為確定病因，VSH診斷影像專科醫生 Dr. Virginie De Busscher為其進行腹部超聲波掃描。正常寵物只有一個膽囊，令人驚訝的發現原來寵物患有罕見疾病 - 他有兩個膽囊，兩個膽囊管及兩個總膽管並嚴重發炎！膽囊是一個小器官，用於存儲膽汁，透過膽管將膽汁及膽紅素釋放入細腸。當膽管狹窄及阻塞的時候，可能會對病人健康造成嚴重後果，包括引起黃疸。為改善情況，我們建議進行手術切除膽囊。於手術期間，灣仔VSH外科專科獸醫 Dr. François Saulnier成功診斷出現問題的地方為膽囊，於住院期間成功地切除受影響的膽囊（膽囊切除術）。膽囊切除手術屬於高水平技能的複雜手術，可以大大改善患寵生活質素。我們好高興毛孩已回家及康復中，而且食慾都有所改善！Recently, a patient was seen by our VSH veterinarians for not eating well and having jaundice, a condition where the skin, whites of the eyes and gums turn yellow. This happens when there is a build-up of a yellow pigment called bilirubin in the body. To help determine the cause of this, an abdominal ultrasound scan was performed by Dr. Virginie De Busscher, VSH Diagnostic Imaging Specialist. Surprisingly, a rare and unusual finding was discovered - the patient had two gallbladders, two cystic ducts, and two common bile ducts that were severely inflamed, when normally, there should only be one of each! The gallbladder is a small organ that stores bile, and through the bile duct, releases bile and bilirubin into the small intestine. When the bile duct is reduced and blocked, this can lead to serious consequences for a patient’s health, including causing jaundice. To correct this, surgery was recommended to remove the gallbladders. During surgery, Dr François Saulnier, VSH Surgery Specialist in our Wan Chai hospital, was able to identify which of this patient’s gallbladders was causing the problem and swiftly removed the affected gallbladder (a cholecystectomy) during the same hospital stay. Cholecystectomy is a complex procedure that requires a high level of skill and can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life. We are thrilled that this patient is doing well at home and has a healthy appetite!

於復活節時朱古力特別受歡迎，但對我們的毛孩來說可能很危險。朱古力含有一種叫做可可鹼的化學物質，對寵物有毒。毒性的嚴重程度取決於朱古力的類型、攝入量和寵物的大小。黑朱古力和烘焙朱古力的可可鹼含量比牛奶朱古力高，因此更加危險。朱古力毒性的症狀可能包括嘔吐、腹瀉、過度活躍、顫抖、癲癇，甚至在嚴重情況下會導致死亡。如果您的寵物攝入了朱古力，請立即尋求獸醫護理。獸醫將確定毒性的嚴重程度並提供適當的治療，這可能包括誘發嘔吐、使用活性炭吸收毒素以及提供扶持性治療，如靜脈注射液體和控制癲癇的藥物。讓您的寵物遠離朱古力，確保安全。萬一您的寵物吃了朱古力，九龍及香港VSH於復活節期間照常24小時營業，提供緊急護理及急症服務，無需預約。Chocolate treats are popular around Easter time, but can be dangerous for our furry friends. Chocolate contains a chemical compound called theobromine, which is toxic to pets. The severity of the toxicity depends on the type of chocolate, the amount ingested, and the size of your pet. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate have higher amounts of theobromine than milk chocolate, making them more dangerous. Symptoms of chocolate toxicity can include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, and even death in severe cases.If your pet has ingested chocolate, it is important to seek veterinary care immediately. The veterinarian will determine the severity of the toxicity and provide appropriate treatment, which may include inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal to absorb the toxins, and providing supportive care such as IV fluids and medications to control seizures.Keep your pets away from your Easter chocolates to keep them safe. However, if your pet got into chocolate treats, VSH is open 24/7 on both sides of the harbour throughout the Easter Holidays for Urgent Care and Emergencies, no appointments needed.

菲菲是一隻八歲的貓貓，不幸地在家裡發生意外，引致左後腳嚴重受傷。X光顯示踝關節脫臼，以及一條腳骨折斷。受傷勢位置的影響，以內部骨板固定的方法並不可行。所以使用了以人工韌帶取代關節韌帶，再以外置固定方法修復骨折。灣仔VSH 外科專科醫生Dr François 使用了外置固定方案 — 利用鋼針及鋼線在腳部外側降低和穩定關節，以便關節韌帶能夠癒合。雖然外置支架感覺上可能會有點嚇人，但是這個方法可以令菲菲更快康復，當後腳完全癒合之後，外置支架即可移除，無需進行額外手術。經過 François醫生及其外科團隊的專業護理之下，菲菲的複雜性創傷已成功康復！Fei Fei is an 8 year old cat who unfortunately had an accident at home where she severely injured her left hind leg. X rays showed that she dislocated her “ankle joint” and also broke one of her leg bones. Because of the location of the injury, internal bone plating was not feasible. The joint ligaments were replaced with some prosthetic sutures and the repair was allowed to heal completely by using an external stabilisation. Dr François, VSH Surgery Specialist at our Wan Chai hospital, used an external fixation method, using metal pins and wire outside the leg to reduce and stabilize the joint for the ligaments to heal. Although this might look intimidating as there are implants outside of the leg, this method allowed Fei Fei to use her leg faster, and when the injury has healed, the implants are removed without the need of additional surgeries. With the expertise and skills of Dr François and his team, Fei Fei has made a speedy recovery despite the complex nature of this injury!

蘑菇，這隻11歲的獵狐爹利，值得特別一提！蘑菇曾患嚴重胰臟炎，需要在VSH深切治療部留醫。患有胰臟炎（胰臟發炎）的其中一個原因多是由於攝取高脂肪飲食，其他因素如肥胖、外傷、遺傳、藥物及感染也可以導致這種腹部疼痛的狀況。蘑菇病得很重，需要在醫院留院兩星期。經過VSH獸醫團隊的協作努力，蘑菇家人的耐心和信任，蘑菇接受了一系列的支援性治療，最終康復過來。蘑菇和他的家人是我們獸醫團隊的榜樣，我們很高興看到他已經康復，回復開心和愉快的狗狗。我們愛你，蘑菇！Mushroom, the 11-year-old Fox Terrier, deserves a special mention! Mushroom suffered from severe pancreatitis, which required intensive hospitalisation at VSH Hong Kong. One of the causes of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) is thought to be from consuming a high-fat meal, other factors such as obesity, trauma, genetics, medications, and infections can also contribute to this painful abdominal condition.Mushroom was very sick and had to stay in the hospital for two weeks. With the collaborative efforts of our VSH veterinarians, patience and trust from Mushroom’s family, Mushroom made an amazing recovery with intensive supportive treatment. Mushroom and his family are an inspiration to our veterinary team, and we are thrilled that he is back to his happy and cheerful self. We love you, Mushroom!#VSHHongKong #VeterinaryCare #PetHealth #PetRecovery #DogsofInstagram #PetInspiration #CollaborativeCare #SupportiveTreatment #HealthyPets #VSHCommunity #HappyPets #AdvancedPetCare

獸醫根管治療(杜牙根)屬於牙科手術，可以拯救寵物受損或患病的牙齒。手術過程包括切除感染或死亡組織、清潔、成型和使用物料填充牙齒。手術類似於人類的根管治療，但由於動物的牙齒較小，因此手術比較複雜。手術需全身麻醉，但可以幫助拯救寵物的牙齒、減輕疼痛，防止進一步的併發症如口腔或顎骨感染。這是一個能代替拔牙的良好方案，改善寵物的生活質素。VSH牙科專科獸醫 - 道世祈醫生為香港、英國、歐洲以及南非的註冊牙科專科獸醫。他將於本月至3月20日在VSH九龍醫院應診並提供優質專業的牙科護理服務。Veterinary Root Canal Therapy is a dental procedure that can potentially save a pet’s damaged or diseased tooth. This process includes removing the infected or dead pulp tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning, shaping, and filling the canal with an inert material. It is similar to root canal therapy in humans, but is a more complex procedure due to the much larger teeth in animals. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and can help save the pet’s tooth and relieve pain, preventing further complications like pockets of infection in the mouth or jaw. It is a great alternative to tooth extraction while improving the pet’s quality of life. Dr Cedric Tutt, VSH Veterinary Dentist Specialist who is a recognized Specialist in Veterinary Dentistry in Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Europe, and South Africa, is practicing out of VSH Kowloon this month until the 20th of March, providing expert dental care to Hong Kong pets.
