Introduction to Clinical Cases

Every animal has a unique story and deserves tailored attention.

In this section, you will find real clinical cases followed over time, with a careful and personalized approach that always puts your pet’s well-being first.

The journeys shared here are not just treatments, but true collaborations with the animals’ families to achieve real, lasting results together.
Clinical Cases
Clinical Case 1

Mia, 3-year-old female iguana

This patient, named Mia, is a 3-year-old female iguana brought in as an emergency for a cloacal prolapse.

Specifically, she presented with a rectal prolapse, with small areas of necrosis and hemorrhagic serous exudate on the herniated organ.

This condition is extremely painful, to the point where the patient stops eating.

This problem is quite common among iguanas that receive an improper diet and live in terrariums not properly set up for their species-specific needs.

Mia was placed under gas anesthesia, and the rectal prolapse was repositioned after cleaning the area with warm saline solution.

Mia was treated pharmacologically with a dewormer, and the owner was instructed on how to modify the environment, especially regarding terrarium humidity and ultraviolet lighting.

We also established a more appropriate diet to help reduce constipation. Today, Mia is doing well, and no further cloacal prolapses have occurred.

Clinical Case 2

Sandy, 12-year-old tortoiseshell cat

Sandy is a 12-year-old spayed female tortoiseshell cat, presented for a clinical visit due to a purulent discharge from her right nostril with a distinctly foul odor.

About six months earlier, the patient had undergone a major tooth extraction, which had resulted in the formation of an oronasal fistula, creating a communication between the mouth and nose and leading to food accumulation in the nasal passages.

These fistulas can cause destruction of the nasal turbinates and, if not properly resolved, can lead to serious respiratory and neurological problems.

Sandy had already been seen by three dentists who had performed three different surgical procedures attempting to close the fistula.

Unfortunately, the previous surgeries had not resolved the issue, and Sandy’s condition worsened — she became increasingly apathetic and anorexic; she also struggled to breathe properly and suffered from paroxysmal sneezing fits.

I treated this patient with a homeopathic therapy to support the healing process and calm her aggressiveness; at the same time, she underwent corrective surgery to permanently close the oral fistula.

After the procedure, Sandy truly blossomed, regaining her ability to breathe and eat normally.
