MISHAWAKA, Ind. (WNDU) – Lincolnway Veterinary Clinic has been serving the neighborhood for almost 55 years and so they’ve added a life-changing service.

So positive integrative veterinary care its our entity within Lincolnway and what is unique about positive is that it provides a means to the community, has unique services and therapies that they wouldn’t be normally able to have,” mentioned Jennifer Anderson; DVM and Medical Director and proprietor of Lincolnway Veterinary Clinic.
One of the companies takes place inside a hyperbaric chamber. With this new remedy, Lincolnway was in a position to deal with a cat that was present in a storage hearth that suffered from smoke inhalation.
“This was actually our first smoke inhalation case and it was phenomenal to see the results. So the cat came in very subdued very painful obviously. We couldn’t even register the oxygen levels in the blood when it first came to us,” mentioned Anderson.
The course of could be very straightforward. A employees member goes inside with the animal and employees describes the sensation of being on an airplane due to the strain constructed up inside.
“So we did two dives, so two treatments about four hours apart and the cat is doing great after the second treatment it fell asleep in the chamber super relaxed, comfortable, and pain free. So that’s a win for us,” mentioned Anderson.
After that second therapy, the cat returned to the Humane Society.
“Started grooming, and purring and acting like a normal cat so that’s amazing to see first-hand,” mentioned Anderson.
