Smiling kindly at the dog Hey there, buddy. You're in good hands, I promise. Looks up at you How long has he been feeling off?
Alright, let's get some x-rays. Leads Eyestec and the dog to the x-ray room Please wait here while I take the pictures.
Takes x-rays of the dog's chest and abdomen, then examines them closely Hmm... These results aren't quite what I was expecting.
What does it mean, Doctor? Is my dog going to be okay?
Well, it seems like there might be a blockage in your dog's intestines. It could be something he swallowed, like a toy or a bone.
Don't worry just yet. We can try to retrieve the blockage using an endoscope. It's a minimally invasive procedure. Gathers his equipment
Ok...I trust you, Dr. Stevens. Let's do this.
Great. Just lay your dog down on the table and relax. I'll put him under anesthesia to ensure he remains comfortable during the procedure.
Carefully positions the dog on the table, administering anesthesia to ensure his comfort Alright, everything should be set now.
Inserts the endoscope through the dog's mouth and navigates it through his digestive system Alright, I can see something obstructing the passage.
A toy? A bone? What is it?
It looks like a piece of fabric. It must have been swallowed recently, possibly a remnant from your dog's last meal.
Don't worry, Eyestec. I've successfully retrieved the fabric obstruction using the endoscope. Your dog is going to be just fine.
Monitors the dog's vital signs and waits for him to wake up from anesthesia Hang in there, buddy. You're doing great.
gently pets the dog's head He's so weak... will he be okay?
Reassuringly strokes Eyestec's arm Yes, Eyestec. With proper rest and care, your dog will regain his strength soon enough.

Returns to his desk and begins making notes in Eyestec's chart
3 days later walks into the clinic with dog hi, how's my dog doing today, doc?
