Gaymar Warm Water Circulating Pad Repair?

Gaymar Warm Water Circulating Pad Repair?

Does anyone on the planet know how these pads can be repaired? We have tried every aqua/pool/scuba diving sealant out there and nothing seems to do the trick.

I guess a CORDLESS phone will be the way to go in this household!

A 6-year-old FS DSH cat was presented for vomiting and anorexia. Blood work was WNL, but the cat has severe abdominal pain. Radiographs found curls of something radiolucent, but we weren’t sure exactly what the objects were. An exploratory was performed and we discovered that the owners really need to upgrade their home phone technology,…

Moving through a sea of gray, black, and white I came across a familiar structure, I hope!  I actually found it after obtaining a video clip while testing the functions on my clinic’s machine.

An 11-year-old MN Bassett hound was presented for a cloudy appearance to the eyes and they were also irritated.  Upon examination corneal erosions were detected. The patient was sent via referral to an eye specialist where he was diagnosed with corneal endothelial degeneration with corneal…

Uterine mass or retained kitten?

A 5-6 yr-old female feral DSH torti was presented for acting sick with very recent history of delivering kittens. This cat was normally unable to be handled, but now she was just too lethargic to “fight or flight”. Upon examination after some “kitty magic” was administered (love this combo), the patient was found to be…

What Medications can affect ultrasound imagery?

Whether you are giving out instructions to an owner preparing their pet for an upcoming ultrasound, getting an in-hospital patient ready for an ultrasound, or if you will be performing the scan yourself, it is good to know what medications may affect your ultrasound images.  Knowing when and what meds were given to the patient…

Can you guess the image?

And no it is not a black and white block of swiss cheese.  🙂 Hints: Puppy + for Parvo, not eating, NOT vomiting, some mucoid diarrhea but NOT bloody, PALE mucous membranes, very lethargic, painful abdomen.
