Meet Sasha
Beautiful Sasha was playing outside late one afternoon when things went terribly wrong. Luckily, her owner acted quickly and called her local Fur Life Vet clinic. Vetriage nurse Shauna answered and was able to arrange an emergency vet visit promptly.
The Problem
While playing outside, Sasha ran onto a stick which cause her to immediately yelp in pain. Sasha’s owner wasn’t sure how big the stick was but called the local Fur Life Vet Clinic straight away to seek advice.

The Process
Vetriage vet nurse, Shauna, answered the call and advised a visit to the clinic to see a vet as soon as possible. Shauna contacted the on-call vet (Cara) to advise her of Sasha’s condition and their ETA to the clinic. Radiographs were taken to determine how long the stick was and the damage it had caused. It was then decided that Sasha needed surgery to remove the stick as soon as possible.
