唐卡斯特獸醫對吞下鎳的貓進行了挽救生命的手術

一隻可憐的小貓的主人稱讚唐卡斯特獸醫在發現她吞下一枚 5 便士硬幣後救了她。這隻名叫 Poppy 的小貓開始嘔吐、食慾不振、不再上廁所，隨後被送往阿倫德爾獸醫中心 (Arundell Vets)。獸醫蘇珊娜·雷西奧（Susana Recio）檢查了波比，發現她的胃裡有東西硬。 X光檢查顯示Poppy的胃裡有一枚5便士的硬幣。 5便士的硬幣被手術取出，波比現在又回到了家裡淘氣的樣子。

Doncaster Vets Perform Life-Saving Surgery on Cat Who Ingested 5p Coin

唐卡斯特獸醫對吞下 5 便士硬幣的貓進行了挽救生命的手術

In a remarkable feat of veterinary expertise, the team at Arundell Vets in Doncaster, England, has successfully saved the life of a young kitten named Poppy after she ingested a potentially fatal foreign object—a 5p coin.

英國唐卡斯特阿倫德爾獸醫中心的團隊憑藉獸醫專業知識取得了非凡的成就，成功挽救了一隻名叫Poppy 的小貓的生命，因為她吞下了可能致命的異物——一枚5便士的硬幣。

A Puzzling Illness

一種令人費解的疾病

Poppy's owners, Jackie and Tony Thurlow, initially noticed their beloved feline companion exhibiting concerning symptoms, including vomiting, loss of appetite, and infrequent urination. Concerned, they sought veterinary attention at Arundell Vets, where veterinarian Susana Recio began a thorough examination.

波比的主人傑基瑟洛和東尼瑟洛最初注意到他們心愛的貓科動物伴侶表現出一些令人擔憂的症狀，包括嘔吐、食慾不振和頻尿。出於擔憂，他們向阿倫德爾獸醫中心尋求獸醫的幫助，獸醫蘇珊娜·雷西奧開始了徹底的檢查。

Upon palpating Poppy's abdomen, Recio detected an unusual hard mass. To further investigate, Poppy was sedated and an X-ray scan was performed. The results were startling: a round, metallic object was lodged within the kitten's stomach.

在觸診波比的腹部時，雷西奧發現了一個不尋常的硬塊。為了進一步調查，Poppy 被注射了鎮靜劑並進行了 X 光掃描。結果令人震驚：一個圓形的金屬物體卡在小貓的胃裡。

Surgical Intervention Saves the Day

手術幹預挽救了局面

Recio immediately recognized the gravity of the situation. The foreign object, identified as a 5p coin, posed a serious risk of intestinal rupture or peritonitis, a potentially fatal abdominal infection. Without prompt surgical intervention, Poppy's life was in danger.

雷西奧立即認識到事態的嚴重性。該異物被確認為一枚 5 便士硬幣，存在嚴重的腸道破裂或腹膜炎風險，這是一種可能致命的腹部感染。如果不及時進行手術幹預，波比就有生命危險。

With the Thurlows' consent, Recio performed a delicate operation to remove the coin. The procedure required meticulous precision to avoid damaging Poppy's delicate digestive system. Fortunately, the surgery was a complete success, and the coin was safely extracted.

在瑟洛斯夫婦的同意下，雷西奧進行了一次精細的手術，取出了硬幣。這個過程需要一絲不苟的精確度，以避免損壞波比脆弱的消化系統。幸運的是，手術非常成功，硬幣被安全取出。

A Miracle for Poppy

罌粟的奇蹟

Poppy's owners were overjoyed at the successful outcome of the surgery. Had the coin remained undetected, it could have had catastrophic consequences for their cherished pet. According to Recio, "Without surgery, her bowel would have ruptured and caused septic peritonitis, which can be fatal."

Poppy 的主人對手術的成功結果欣喜若狂。如果這枚硬幣未被發現，可能會對他們心愛的寵物帶來災難性的後果。雷西奧說，“如果不進行手術，她的腸道就會破裂並引起化膿性腹膜炎，這可能是致命的。”

A Warning to Pet Owners

對寵物主人的警告

Arundell Vets is using Poppy's case to highlight the importance of seeking prompt veterinary attention if a pet exhibits suspicious behavior, such as ingesting foreign objects. Jackie Thurlow emphasizes, "If anyone is at all concerned that their pet has swallowed a foreign body, my advice is to go to your vet as soon as possible."

阿倫德爾獸醫中心利用 Poppy 的案例來強調，如果寵物表現出可疑行為（例如誤食異物），立即尋求獸醫關注的重要性。傑基·瑟洛強調：“如果有人擔心他們的寵物吞下了異物，我的建議是盡快去看獸醫。”

A Curious Cat and a Relieved Family

一隻好奇的貓和一個如釋重負的家庭

Despite her mischievous nature, Poppy has made a remarkable recovery and is back to her playful self at home. Her owners have taken measures to "Poppy-proof" their home, removing potential hazards that could tempt her curious nature.

儘管波比天性頑皮，但她已經康復了，並且回到了家裡頑皮的自己。她的主人已採取措施對他們的家進行“罌粟防護”，消除可能引起她好奇心的潛在危險。

Recio advises pet owners to be mindful of household items that could be harmful if ingested by animals. "Vets see a wide range of foreign bodies ingested by pets, from coins to batteries to toys," she warns. "It's important to keep these items out of reach and to supervise pets when they are playing with small objects."

雷西奧建議寵物主人注意家居用品，如果被動物攝入可能有害。 「獸醫發現寵物攝入的異物種類繁多，從硬幣到電池再到玩具，」她警告。 “重要的是要把這些物品放在夠不到的地方，並在寵物玩小物體時對其進行監督。”

Poppy's story serves as a reminder of the crucial role veterinarians play in safeguarding the health and well-being of our furry companions. Thanks to the exceptional care provided by Arundell Vets, Poppy has a second chance at a happy and healthy life.

波比的故事提醒我們，獸醫在保護我們毛茸茸的夥伴的健康和福祉方面發揮著至關重要的作用。感謝阿倫德爾獸醫提供的卓越護理，Poppy 獲得了第二次幸福健康生活的機會。
