Saturdays are the girls! And we guess maybe the boys.
Maisey came in this Saturday to see Dr. Sewell for an emergency c-section that resulted in 3 healthy girls and one little boy!

We always offer emergency services and we love to see happy endings like Maisey. She and her babies are recovering well.

Pets are like toddlers. You turn your back for two seconds and suddenly they’re playing in the toilet or putting things in their mouth they definitely shouldn’t. Just like these two.
Harmony decided to challenge herself and eat an entire mango (spoiler: she can’t), and Domino thought it’d be fun to share a baby bottle ni**le with their tiny human.
Our team immediately added two emergency surgeries to the schedule, knowing these weren’t cases that could wait.
Dr. Sewell quickly removed both the mango pit and bottle ni**le from Harmony and Domino.
Both pets are now recovering comfortably — no complications, just a little less curious (for now).
A huge thank you to our clients who rescheduled their appointments to make room for these urgent cases — and to Dr. Sewell, whose quick and steady hands were able to make room for these unexpected surgeries on a busy day.
We don’t recommend the snacks. But we do recommend the surgeon

Anyone missing a kitten?

Approx 5 month old intact male cat found stuck in a fence, just a couple blocks south of North Peace Chiropractic Clinic.

Due to the cold temperature, Dr. Sewell was concerned for potential frost bite and hypothermia, so he met the good samaritans who found the little guy at the clinic for a quick check.

Other than minor frost bite, the kitten is healthy and will be resting in the clinic for night and transported to the SPCA in the morning. Please contact them if he is yours!

Hearing the words “Emergency C-Section” will make most people’s heart drop, but the end outcome is the most rewarding.
At 10:30pm Friday night, Dr. Sewell with his technician Jocelynn performed a successful C-Section, helping Sassy deliver 4 wonderfully healthy puppies. Mom and babies are doing very well, soaking in all the love on these cold dreary days!

Today Rivers Animal Hospital has been open for 20 years! Throughout the years we have had some amazing employees that have made our work environment so wonderful. We still have two staff members who have been a part of Rivers Animal Hospital since the day we opened (Kari and Tammy). Thank you to all of our amazing clients who have supported us all these years. We truly love what we do and always get a lot of joy helping people care for their pets!

While 1994 seems like “only ten years ago” to most of us, not for our own Manager and Head Technician Kari Greco! This year she is celebrating her 30th year of being a Vet Tech!

After graduating from the Veterinary Technician program at Fairview College, Kari started her career immediately and has never looked back!
Throughout this time, she became incredibly blessed by meeting her husband and expanding her family with her three kids. (And multiple four legged family members)

If you can’t find her at work, you can almost guarantee she relaxing somewhere outside, either on a horse or with a dog by her side. Preferably both.

One of her major milestones is helping start Rivers Animal Hospital from the ground up 20 years ago. Her expertise and experience from working in other practices has allowed our clinic to thrive and bring the best care to your pets!
Not only is she a great manager to her staff, she is an amazing mentor to the new generations of technicians and any veterinary enthusiasts that come through our doors. Her core revolves around family, and all staff members are lucky to feel like they are apart of it.

We applaud her newest adventure with J & K TheraPETics and the new standard of care she helps bring to veterinary medicine with our clinic. (Don’t worry she’s not leaving us, we couldn’t let someone like her go)

Congratulations Kari, we couldn’t do it without you!
