💙 Nobel is a 12 year old handsome fox terrier who recently completed chemotherapy for lymphoma at CCVS Meadowbrook. (Pictured here with Ben and Lauran CVT, CVPP) Nobel is feeling great! Our oncology team has been treating him since November of 2025. 💛 There is *nothing better* than the feeling of giving a pet better quality of life, and giving a family more time with their pet.

🌈Meet 'Nala' Sanchez!

💙 Nala (and her cute pink pig🐷) came in recently for a TPLO Surgery performed by Dr. Stanley at our Tower Hill location. A TPLO, or Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, is the most common and successful surgery because it stabilizes the knee joint in dogs that have ruptured their CCL(Cranial Cruciate Ligament). 💛💛 We are pleased to report that Nala is doing “phenomenal”, according to family!

We regularly schedule TPLOs at both hospitals in Gainesville, so be sure and follow the link in Comments to read more about TPLOs at CCVS.

The technical talent we have at CCVS is a frequent topic we enjoy hearing about in the wonderful stream of client feedback. Clients leave notes on consult room whiteboards, mention staff names in reviews, or tell us when we call to check in and see how their pet is doing after a procedure. We have some of the best Veterinary Technicians in Anesthesia, Surgery, and Oncology.

Pictured is Kelli, one of our anesthesia nurses, performing a locoregional nerve block (intercostal block) on 'Rocky' Fitzpatrick, prior to the surgical removal of a large tumor from the side of his chest.

While we are on the subject, local nerve blocks dramatically improve patient comfort and lessen the number of doses needed for systemic anesthesia medications in surgery. Patients experience fewer side effects from anesthesia (and recover more comfortably) thanks to local nerve blocks like this one. The CCVS team performs local nerve blocks prior to almost every surgical procedure we do.

Did you know that we do laparoscopic spays here at CCVS Meadowbrook? Clients ♥️ them because they are 65% less painful than a conventional spay, and result in smaller incisions and faster recoveries for their pets. It's a 🔵 Win Win Win🟡!

👨‍⚕️ A laparoscopic spay is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to sterilize female dogs by removing the ovaries through one or two small abdominal incisions. Unlike traditional open surgery that requires a large incision to externalize the reproductive tract, this method utilizes a specialized camera (laparoscope) and long-handled instruments to perform the procedure with high precision from within the body.

🟨 Meet K9 Penny! She was brought in recently by her handlers with the North Florida Search Team. (NFST is an awesome, fully volunteer non-profit Search and Rescue organization in North Florida.)
🟦K9 Fancy also visited us recently. We loved seeing them, and we appreciate having great relationships with organizations like NFST, who want to see their beautiful working K9s get the best care possible.

Goldmine coming in HOT! 🔥🐾

Meet Kreed — one of our incredible ‘Walk-In Wednesday’ Oncology patients. After receiving a lymphoma diagnosis, Kreed came to us to begin treatment, and we’re happy to share that he is responding well so far! 💙

When he’s not being brave during appointments, Kreed stays busy doing what he loves most: swimming, showing off his favorite toys, visiting nursing homes to brighten patients’ days, and spending time with children while they read him books. 📚🦴🏊

Kreed’s gentle spirit and joyful personality make him a favorite everywhere he goes, and we’re honored to be part of his journey. Keep shining, sweet boy! ✨

❓Did you know that we offer ultrasound services here at Meadowbrook? Having a Boarded Specialist in Radiology allows us to provide needed services quickly (without lengthy waits for appointment availability) so that your pet’s diagnosis and treatment is not delayed. How great is that? 😀

⭕️ Ultrasound is excellent for viewing soft tissues (like the liver, kidneys, spleen, and heart) and assessing blood flow and organ structure. It’s a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of a pet’s organs. We use ultrasound to focus on areas such as cervical, abdominal, musculoskeletal, and echocardiogram.

📸We snapped a quick photo of Dr. Porter, our Boarded Radiologist, performing an ultrasound for Dr. Dement’s pet patient ‘Cora’ Marques.

Does your dog or cat need an ultrasound for an underlying issue? This diagnostic tool is both non-invasive and safe. Schedule an ultrasound at CCVS today.
