This otherwise superstitious day has brought good news to a cool cat named Ruby, who visited the Cardiology department at our Greenville, SC location. Ruby, pictured here with Dr. Tschosik, was referred by Dr. Bryan Allen at The Pet Vet on Patton in Asheville, NC for evaluation of a heart murmur prior to anesthesia for a dental procedure. A heart murmur can sometimes indicate that there is underlying heart disease in cats (most commonly heart muscle disease aka cardiomyopathy in adult cats). An echocardiogram is the most sensitive and specific test to determine if this is the case. Luckily for Ruby, she had only very mild changes that may not progress during her lifetime and she can safely have her dental procedure. Fun fact: Ruby is leash trained! #upstatevet #themoreyouknow #catsofinstagram #catsoffacebook #cardiology #vetmed

Meet Jack! Jack is a 10-year-old Maltipoo who presented to the Upstate Vet, Greenville Internal Medicine department for evaluation of vomiting, dysentery, and the build-up of fluid around his lungs. Pictured here with one of our Internist, Dr. Vanessa Von Hendy-Willson, and Veterinary Technician, Rebecca, Jack was ultimately diagnosed with a protein-losing enteropathy. This is a process where the gut becomes diseased and, due to inflammation or other processes, protein is lost causing vomiting and dysentery. This low protein can also lead to fluid build-up around the lungs and in the belly cavity. Treatment involves diagnosing and managing the underlying intestinal disease. Jack has responded very well to therapy and since starting treatment has remained a healthy boy! We love seeing him for his rechecks and are glad he has responded well. A special thank you to Dr. Flowers with Pleasantburg Veterinary Clinic, Inc. for the referral.

Meet Lucie Lu! 🐕 Lucie Lu is an Internal Medicine patient being treated by Dr. Aldridge. She was a referral from Dr. Freese at Greenwood Animal Hospital in Greenwood, South Carolina. Lucie Lu transferred from our Emergency Care Department to Internal Medicine for dermatopathy, hypoalbuminemia, and anemia. She has been diagnosed with several abnormalities. After further testing and review, it was determined that these abnormalities stem from a primary immune-mediated disease complex, similar to systemic lupus. In mid-November, she received a blood transfusion as part of her treatment. Sweet Lucie Lu has also been referred internally to our ophthalmology department for a corneal ulcer. We are super pleased to hear from her mom with positive progress reports!

"Do you see what I see..." Meet this handsome, 9-year-old Husky, Taysha🐺 He comes to us as a referral from Haywood Road Animal Hospital for diabetic cataracts. In August, Taysha began bumping into things around the house and his owners brought it to the attention of their primary veterinarian, Dr. Melina Redding. In September, a cataract removal and phacoemulsification procedure was performed on both eyes by our very own, Dr. Diana Pate. Phacoemulsification is a state-of-the-art technique our specialists often use, which offers the best success rate for cataract surgery in dogs and cats. Following removal of the cataract, the lens capsule remains in place and an artificial intra-ocular lens (IOL) can be placed within the capsule to optimize visual acuity. We are elated to report that Taysha is doing very well post-operatively!

Did you know❓ When Upstate Vet blood types your family pet we provide a tag for each donor! Dogs have a numbered blood typing system called Dog Erythrocyte Antigen (DEA) system. DEA 1.1 is the main blood type, which dogs can be positive or negative. DEA 1.1 negative is a universal blood type and is safe to be given to any other dog. Cats have three different blood types: A, B, and AB. Type A is the most common with type B found in about 5% of the population. Type AB is very rare. There is no universal blood type for cats.

Meet this adorable 11-year-old Terrier Mix named Izzy! 💜 In 2020, Izzy first came to our hospital as an Ophthalmology referral and had a consultation with our board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Diana Pate, for intense vision loss. During her consultation, she also met Dr. Rennie Waldron, our board-certified neurologist, and had an MRI scan to rule out any neurological and tumor issues as the cause.

In honor of National Pet Dental Health Month, we will be featuring stories throughout February from our Dentistry & Oral Surgery Department. Let's get things started with this cutie. Meet Charlie, a 12-year-old Chihuahua with periodontal disease, who is a patient of Dr. Beth Romig. Periodontal disease, otherwise known as gum disease, is a silent issue with dogs and cats with no outward signs and symptoms. Yet once it advances, gum disease can devastate your pet's mouth, causing chronic pain, eroded gums, missing teeth, and bone loss. Many smaller and older patients require more intensive anesthetic protocols that specialty hospitals are able to provide. This includes post-operative hospitalization and other specialists on staff to help assure the health and well-being of your beloved pet. Thank you to Dr. Engen of College Animal Hospital in Newberry, SC for the referral! #upstatevet #dentalawareness #specialtyvetmed #yeahTHATgreenville #visitAsheville

Upstate Vet updated their info in the about section.

We are excited to share with you a 3D CT video of a dentistry patient named Huey. He is a 7-month-old domestic medium hair feline who was referred to our Dentistry & Oral Surgery specialist, Dr. Heather Duncan, by Dr. Deborah Perzak from Woodruff Road Animal Hospital. Huey's owner noticed a mild swelling below his left eye as well as a discharge, which appeared to be getting worse. While Huey was under anesthesia for his neuter, Dr. Perzak discovered that he was missing his adult left upper canine tooth. Being thorough, she performed a dental x-ray and found the tooth impacted in the nasal sinus. Once under the care of Dr. Duncan, a CT scan was performed to help her locate the exact position of the impacted left maxillary canine tooth and to properly plan for Huey's oral surgery. This 3D video details the impacted tooth in the left nasal sinus-- it is very close to the left eye! We are thrilled to report that Huey is doing great and there is significantly less swelling below his eye and the discharge has resolved. In one more week, he should be back to his normal self! This case is an excellent example of how CT can help in surgical planning. #upstatevet #dentalawareness #specialtyvetmed #yeahTHATgreenville #visitAsheville

Blood Donor Hero, Tigris, wanted to remind you that pets can require life-saving blood transfusions for many of the same reasons humans do. Reasons such as injuries, surgeries, or when diseases cause the body to destroy its own blood cells. Together, Tigris and her Mom, Allyson, a veterinary technician at our Greenville, SC hospital, work hard to save lives daily! Check out the number of lives Tigris has saved by becoming a donor hero. 😍 For more information on how your pet could become a Blood Donor Hero, visit our website: https://bit.ly/32FK2kQ #upstatevetbloodbank #upstatevet #vetmed #blooddonor #donorhero #quarantinedonor #essential #yeahTHATgreenville #GVLToday #ASHtoday #yeahTHATasheville

Reece is a patient of our radiation oncologist, Dr. Nathan Lee—the ONLY board-certified radiation oncologist in the state of South Carolina! Reece just began his definitive treatment plan at the end of January and will receive 19 treatments for a soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the right hip. At 11-years-old, this is the best plan for Reece as it is the least invasive measure to treat STS. These tumors include those that arise from the connective, muscle, or nervous tissues in dogs or cats. These types of tumors are the result of abnormal production of these cell types in an uncontrolled manner. Soft tissue sarcomas make up about 15% of cancers of the skin affecting dogs, and about 7% of those affecting cats. Thank you Dr. Darryl McElveen of Pleasantburg Veterinary Clinic, Inc. for the referral!

This little fella should look familiar to you! Blue, who is now 8 months old, was featured back in the Fall of 2020 as a dental patient with a malocclusion, otherwise known as a severe overbite, where his lower canines protruded into his jaw palate. We have been treating the malocclusion with a removable orthodontic appliance and we are pleased to report he has done great! This has allowed us to avoid a more invasive procedure that would require anesthesia, and now Blue has a healthy, pain-free bite! Thank you to Dr. Roseveare at Travelers Rest Animal Hospital for the referral! And be sure to leave a ❤️ for our compassionate dentistry assistant, Mickey, and this sweet boy, Blue. #upstatevet #dentalawareness #specialtyvetmed #yeahTHATgreenville #visitAsheville

Meet his sweet Australian Shephard mix named Chloe! 😍 Chloe originally came to us as a referral from Dr. Paul Black at Seneca Animal Hospital, PA for ocular issues. Dr. Diana Pate consulted on the case and determined there was mild vision loss in the left eye. Chloe then went for an MRI under our board-certified Neurologist, Dr. Courtney Sampson, to determine if there were underlying neurological concerns. As a result of those scans, Dr. Nathan Lee, our Radiation Oncologist (the only one in SC!), ordered a series of CT scans. The conclusion was a recommendation of radiation therapy for an optic nerve tumor and a definitive treatment plan of 16 treatments.

Meet Mei Lee, a sweet feline with a prolapsed gland of the third eyelid, commonly known as "cherry eye". The gland is actually comprised of two tear glands positioned around each eye in dogs and cats. The prolapse occurs due to a weakness of the connective tissues that hold the gland in place. Mei Lee had a procedure to fix the prolapsed gland at the beginning of February, thanks to our specialty ophthalmologist, Dr. Whitney Young. Stay tuned for a update post coming soon! Thank you to Dr. Giusti of Junaluska Animal Hospital PA for the referral.

Meet this precious, 9-year-old, cocker spaniel named Poppy! Poppy was referred to our Internal Medicine department at Upstate Vet, Asheville, and met Dr. Suzi LeGrange (pictured) back in July 2020. Her referring doctor, Dr. Tim McMullan at Pinnacle Animal Hospital, suggested a consultation due to Poppy experiencing chronic diarrhea and weight loss. At that time, Poppy was a recent rescue, so her medical history was not well known. Dr. LeGrange performed an upper and lower endoscopy in August 2020 and diagnosed Poppy with gastrointestinal inflammation and prescribed steroids, fiber supplementation, and a GI food. Over the past few months, Poppy has come in for routine rechecks to show off her wonderful progress! As a result, the prescription steroid was decreased and she was officially discharged from our Internal Medicine department last month. We love her dearly and wish her much health in the future! #upstatevet #AVLtoday #vetmed #internalmedicine #visitasheville

Weezie is the sweetest 4-year-old English Bulldog. She is a referral from Dr. John Warner of Inman Animal Hospital and a patient of our board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Elizabeth Schaefer. Dr. Schaefer diagnosed Weezie with a corneal ulcer. A corneal ulcer is an abrasion, scratch, or deeper wound on the eye surface that often results from ocular trauma. We are pleased to report, after a follow-up appointment mid-February, the ulcers are 100% healed! Eye conditions that cause chronic corneal inflammation, such as KCS or abnormal eyelash growth, can also cause a corneal ulcer. These painful ulcers typically cause redness, squinting, tearing, and discharge, and possibly a cloudy-looking cornea. Most corneal ulcers are superficial and resolve quickly with eye medications; however, deeper ulcers may require longer, more intensive treatment, and possibly surgery, to preserve vision, and save the eye.

Say 'Hi' to this handsome guy named Grimm! In March 2020, at one and a half years old, Grimm was diagnosed with mediastinal T-cell lymphoma that was affecting his ability to breathe. He started chemotherapy treatment in our Asheville, NC hospital with Dr. Sarah Collette, a board-certified Oncologist, the following week. Grimm completed a full course of CHOP chemotherapy over 6 months. CHOP is an abbreviation for the drugs used- cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin (doxorubicin), oncovin, and prednisone. It was also recommended that he take a daily supplement and herbs to complement his chemotherapy. Grimm is currently in remission and has a follow-up with Dr. Collette once a month to monitor his blood work, lymph nodes, and chest x-rays. In his free time, Grimm enjoys walks, eating treats, playing frisbee, and kicking the soccer ball with mom and dad... our very own board-certified specialists, Drs. Whitney Young (Ophthalmologist) and Jeff Christ (Surgeon)! #upstatevet #qualityoflife #successstory #chemo #oncology #vetmed AVLtoday Capital At Play

To the K9 partners who work day and night, on land and at sea, helping us, protecting us, and keeping our families and communities safe... 🐾Thank You🐾 This year we salute K9 Rusty, who retired from Greenville County Sheriff's Office in October 2020. Since he joined the force in 2016, he was a part of 116 deployments, covering over 200 miles, with 32 confirmed 'finds' for missing persons and criminals on the run. Rusty's most notable trail was when he located a missing person of 21 hours, nearly 8 miles away from their last known location! His distinct howl was beyond adorable and would excite the crowd during a friendly demonstration. Rusty is thoroughly enjoying his well-deserved retirement with his handler, Deputy Robinson, and family. #upstatevet #k9life #k9veteran

Meet Racer, a patient of ophthalmologist, Dr. Whitney Young, at Upstate Vet, Asheville. He is a referral from Dr. Kaplan at Charlotte Street Animal Hospital for secondary glaucoma and uveitis. Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. It is a painful condition that can cause a range of ocular signs such as tearing, light sensitivity, squinting, and third eyelid elevation. Intraocular inflammation can cause the retinal vessels to leak red blood cells, white blood cells, and protein into the eye, which may discolor the intraocular fluid, or settle to the bottom of the eye. Depending on the cause, treatment may consist of surgery or medical management. In Racer's case, Dr. Young prescribed eye drops and a recheck visit once a month until she determines that only a bi-annual visit is needed. Check out our info-video posted last week for more information on glaucoma.
