title: Surgery Case Study - by Ms. Michelle Jaeger, BS, CVT, VTS (Surgery)
description: "John, an 8-month-old MC Labrador, is brought into your clinic after a 3-day history of vomiting and anorexia. The owners believe he may have eaten one of their socks. Abdominal radiographs are taken and confirm a foreign body at the location of the pylorus, so the owners elect to move forward with an abdominal explore.

This case study will walk you through the abdonimal explore and how to prep your patient properly for surgery. To learn more about John's surgery and what steps were taken to prep him for surgery, click below to download your copy of the case study."
