Dr. K's Case of the Month: Glass Eater
By Dr. Heather Kovac
The Patient
Misty, a 7 year old labradoodle, was presented to our hospital when her owner saw her passing what appeared to be large pieces of glass in her stool.
The Case
Misty was eating normally, acting happy, and her stools were solid. However, the owner reported that she found many pieces of decorative glass rocks missing from her outdoor fireplace.

The Case
Dr. K's Case of the Month: My Pet Ate What?!
By Dr. Heather Kovacevich
Dr. Kovac's Case of the Month: Pericardial Effusion
Nick, an 11 year old Labrador/greyhound mix, came in to see me because his owner thought he had had a seizure a few days prior and now he was refusing to eat. Nick has a history of having seizures but they had been well controlled with anti-convulsant medication. In fact, it had been 5 years since they had witnessed any seizure activity at home. His owner had witnessed him collapse on the floor two days prior but he did not lose consciousness. It took him a few minutes to become normal again.
