Not only is PEC the only 24-hour emergency veterinarian hospital in town, it is one of the only places to get serious surgeries done. Often, they re the only place admitting last-minute patients. Dogs can get an extremely serious and deadly condition known as bloat, where the stomach actually flips around inside the body, and with blood flow cut off, the animal can die suddenly if not treated.

I’m hoping that the people in the car that was in slot 12 in the parking lot of the Emergency Veterinary Hospital in South Deerfield around 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 4, are readers of the Recorder. I’m the woman who was crying next to the car in slot 13, about to have my dog put down.
You asked if you could help me in any way, but of course there was no way to comfort me. Then, after she was gone, they told me that the people in the car next to mine had paid the entire bill for euthanization and cremation, that they had wanted to do something for me.

“Ribbon ingestion. You get some vomiting but the major concern there is linear foreign bodies- where the ribbon gets stuck in the intestine and kind of saws through,” she said. “And that can be very serious and require surgery.”
