Sock and Human Reunited After Puppy’s Dietary Indiscretion

AVCC’s 24/Hour Emergency Service Works Quickly to Save Snoopy

“He was playing with family, teething, and grabbing socks,” recalls Jeannette Caffi of her English Sheepdog puppy Snoopy. “But, when it was time for people to leave, someone was missing their sock. We looked all around and could not find it. Snoopy was acting normal, but we were almost positive he had swallowed it.”

It was very late at night and Jeannette called the after-hours phone number for her veterinarian to get a recommendation for a 24-hour veterinary emergency service in Broward County. “That’s when my vet told me about Advanced Veterinary Care Center in Davie,” she adds.

Jeannette and the family took Snoopy right away to AVCC. “They took him right in,” recalls Jeannette. And, because of the quick action by Jeannette, the emergency doctors were able to induce vomiting to retrieve the sock. Waiting any longer would have likely resulted in surgery.

“They were super sweet and fast! They did not keep me waiting. We were so happy. Hopefully I don’t have an emergency again, but that is definitely the place for me to go back!”

Today, Snoopy is doing great and “loves to play with my daughters,” says Jeannette. And, she is truly grateful for Advanced Veterinary Care Center’s quick action adding, “they saved Snoopy’s life!”
