Puppy proofing reminder from the ER! 🔋

Meet Moose, a 3 month old Bernedoodle who decided the TV remote looked like a chew toy. When his family couldn’t find the two AAA batteries afterward, they did exactly the right thing, they brought him straight in.

X-rays confirmed it: two batteries sitting in his stomach.

Swallowed batteries are a true emergency. They can cause serious damage to the digestive tract, even if they don’t leak. The longer they remain inside, the greater the concern for tissue injury or obstruction.

The good news? ❤️ Our team removed both batteries using an endoscope, a camera passed through the mouth into the stomach, with no surgery and no incision!

Both batteries came out completely intact, and Moose went home the same day with medications to protect his digestive tract and a temporary bland diet.

What should you do if your pet swallows a battery (or you suspect they might have)?

✅ Don’t wait to see if it “passes.”
✅ Don’t induce vomiting at home.
✅ Seek veterinary care immediately.

Remotes, toys, key fobs, hearing aids, if it runs on batteries, keep it out of reach of curious paws!

We’re here when emergencies happen, 24/7.

Meet Benson. He swallowed his sister's toy ball. WHOLE.

Frenchies have big personalities and small airways; but apparently not small enough to stop a rubber ball on its way down. His owners did exactly the right thing: they came straight in and brought the matching toy so we could see what we were dealing with.

X-rays confirmed it was sitting in his stomach. Too big to vomit up, too big to grab with a scope. So Benson had surgery, and our team removed it safely. By the next morning he was bright, eating, and giving us this face.

If your dog swallows something they shouldn't: don't wait to "see if it passes." Call us. Some things get worse by the hour.

Some of our favorite moments from the City of Corona’s 2026 Summer Street Fair came not only from meeting new faces, but also from reconnecting with familiar ones. ❤️

Families whose pets we’ve cared for stopped by to share stories, from happy recoveries to the most difficult goodbyes. Some even asked for specific team members just to say “thank you” one more time.

Those conversations reminded us why we do what we do. Emergency veterinary medicine isn’t just about the critical moments, it’s about the trust families place in us and the care they remember long after they go home.

Thank you, Corona, for trusting us with your pets. We’re proud to be your 24/7 emergency veterinary team, right here in Corona, CA, proudly serving Riverside and surrounding communities. Corona Chamber of CommerceCity of Corona - City Government City of Riverside, CA - City Government

Socks. Underwear. Toys. 🧦🐶

Dogs swallowing foreign objects is more common than many pet owners realize — and sometimes it can quickly become a serious emergency.

Watch for these warning signs:
🚨 Vomiting
🚨 Loss of appetite
🚨 Lethargy
🚨 Abdominal pain

Early treatment can make a huge difference.

We put together a quick guide on what to watch for and what to do if your dog swallows something they shouldn’t 👇

Kiwi 🐾 10 weeks old. Bloody diarrhea. Lethargic.

Her family acted fast, and so did our team. Parvo testing, radiographs, fluids, and supportive care helped diagnose and treat severe gastrointestinal inflammation.

Bloody diarrhea in puppies can become an emergency very quickly. Early treatment can save lives.

Proud of our team ❤️
