🩸 Arterial Bleed Emergency 🩸
Techno was rushed to our out-of-hours service after developing a large wound along his back right leg, which was causing significant bleeding.
Thankfully, his owners acted quickly and applied firm pressure and a tight bandage before bringing him straight to us. This prompt first aid helped to control the bleeding while Techno was on his way to the practice. ❤️🩹
Our out-of-hours team, Sarah, one of our experienced vets, and Katie, our veterinary nurse, took Techno straight to theatre. They successfully ligated the damaged artery, stopped the bleeding and carefully closed the wound.
Techno stayed with us overnight so we could closely monitor him and make sure there was no further bleeding. Thankfully, he recovered well and was ready to head home the following day! 🥰🐾
A great reminder that quick action can make all the difference in an emergency
