Meet Mecca! 🐾 Mecca was brought into Highland after experiencing repeated vomiting. Dr. Josh performed an exam and took X-rays, which revealed a massive amount of grass in her stomach. 😳 To try the least invasive option first, Dr. Josh administered apomorphine to induce vomiting. Unfortunately, the amount that came up wasn’t enough to resolve the issue. After discussing next steps, Dr. Josh recommended surgery to safely remove the remaining material, and Mecca’s owner gave the go-ahead. Dr. Japheth performed an exploratory surgery and removed over one pound of grass and pine from Mecca’s stomach and intestines. 🌿 Just one hour after surgery, Mecca was already feeling like herself again,sniffing the ground in search of her next snack and happy to be heading home the very same day. 💕 We’re so proud of this tough girl and thrilled to see her doing so well!
