CVC Chihuahua Cati

Cati arrived to her surgery appointment in a Flamin' Hot Cheeto Box! Cati was an emergency surgery referral to our CVC from a local emergency clinic. She was pregnant, and once she went into labor Cati was unable to deliver her puppies. After straining for over 24 hours and not delivering any puppies, her owners knew there was something wrong. They brought her to the emergency clinic, where she was diagnosed with a dystocia, which is a condition that’s not uncommon in small dogs (Cati weighs 3.5 pounds!), where their pelvic canal is not large enough for them to give birth naturally. The veterinarian at the emergency clinic performed diagnostics to confirm that the puppies had not survived the prolonged labor, but Cati’s family was unable to afford the cost of the surgery needed to save her life, so they contacted our CVC to see if we could get her in as soon as possible. Our staff was able to make an appointment for her that same day, Cati arrived being carried in a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto box, which was telling of this spicy Chihuaha’s personality. The medical staff performed surgery to spay her, and now Cati will never again be at risk of another dystocia. She recovered well, and was back to her Flamin’ Hot Cheeto self a few days after surgery. You can watch the video of Cati arriving to the CVC in her Flamin’ Hot Cheeto box here.
