• If referring for endoscopic evaluation of the esophagus, prepare the owner that: - In the acute stage this will be used to assess the present degree of esophageal trauma, which can be associated with the risk for secondary complications • It will not yet be possible to determine the likelihood of permanent changes - Maximum stricture formation is not seen until approximately 30 days post-obstruction - Many of these will remodel and look normal again by 60 days PROGNOSIS & PREVENTION Overall prognosis is excellent (>80%). However, complications are possible and should be discussed with the owner. These include: • Ulceration/esophagitis (assume this occurs in all cases) • Recurrence (occurs in up to 37% of cases) • Aspiration pneumonia (reported in 24-36% of cases, and risk increases with duration of episode) • Esophageal stenosis/stricture/diverticulum (uncommon) • Esophageal rupture/necrosis/perforation (rare)

• balsamic dressing (store bought or homemade below): - balsamic vinegar - olive oil - salt and pepper to taste •

whole beets (save some greens to mix in salad, if desired) fresh mozzarella pearls or ball, diced avocado, sliced or diced pine nuts, toasted until golden brown

DIRECTIONS 1.

DIRECTIONS 1.

Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 degrees °C).

Preheat oven to 400 °F.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, butter, and honey. In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, pecans, and parsley. 3. Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. 4. Brush with mustard-honey mixture. Cover the top of each fillet with bread crumb mixture. 5. Bake for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at thickest part, or until salmon just flakes when tested with a fork. Serve garnished with lemon wedges.

2.

Remove greens from whole beets, reserving some to mix in with salad (optional). Roast whole beets in oven until fork inserts and comes out smoothly, about 45 minutes to an hour. Let cool, remove outer skin and cut into small cubes or desired pieces. This can be done a day ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to make the salad. Combine mixed greens and beet greens, if desired, for added color and flavor. Toss greens with balsamic dressing (I make my own whisking together good balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper). Add in mozzarella and avocado and toss. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts on top of the salad.
