🐠 Happy Vet Tech Week! 🧽

Today’s spirit day was SpongeBob Day, and our crew definitely brought their under-the-sea energy! We had Spongebob himself, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and the best soon-to-be mom under the sea! 💕

✨ Rambo’s Happy Ending! ✨You may remember Rambo, the brave little cat who came to us after being attacked by a large dog. He suffered devastating injuries — skull and nasal fractures, bite wounds near his brain, and the loss of his left eye. Despite everything, this little warrior never stopped purring. 💚

We’re thrilled to share that Rambo, now Popeye has fully healed! He’s now rocking life as a sweet, one-eyed wonder — and the best part? He’s found his forever home with one of our very own veterinary technicians, Makayla! 🏡💞

From the ICU to a cozy couch, Rambo’s/Popeye story is the true definition of resilience, healing, and love. Please join us in celebrating this amazing cat and his new mom! 🐱💚

🎓✨ Big news from our clinic family! ✨🎓
Our very own Dr. Levine’s son, Tyler, is officially off to college! 🎉 Over the summer, he’s been an amazing help in the clinic — from caring for patients to (believe it or not) running MRIs like a pro in record time! 🐾🩻

We’re going to miss him so much, but we can’t wait to have him back during his holiday breaks. Good luck, Tyler — your clinic family is cheering you on! 💙📚🐶🐾

Meet Teddy 🐾

Teddy is a sweet 9-year-old Shih Tzu mix who came to us for evaluation after suddenly becoming unable to use his back legs. 💔

An MRI revealed infiltrative vertebral disease — most likely neoplasia (cancer) or a severe infection — causing secondary spinal cord compression. To help relieve the pressure and stabilize his spine, Teddy underwent a right-sided Th12 hemilaminectomy with stabilization.

He’s now on the road to recovery with plenty of love and care from his family and our team. 💙 Please join us in wishing Teddy all the strength he needs for his healing journey!

Meet Bubblez FishBait! 🐾This adorable 3-month-old Siamese kitten came to see us for some trouble with coordination and balance. An MRI today revealed severe hydrocephalus — an increased accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. 💙

Our plan is to work closely with her rescue team and perform a ventriculocentesis to help relieve the pressure and keep Bubblez comfortable. She’s in great hands and getting lots of love from our team!

Send this sweet girl some good thoughts as she starts her treatment journey. 💕🐱

🐶✨ Lola — our brave 11-year-old Heeler mix 💪💙Lola came to us nearly paraplegic, unable to use her back legs. An MRI revealed a significant disc herniation at L4-5, compressing her spinal cord by nearly 50% so we performed decompressive surgery to give her the best chance at recovery.

She’s already showing us just how tough she is, and we’re optimistic she’ll be back on her feet soon! 💚

Stay strong, Lola — we’re cheering you on every step of the way. 🐾

🩺🐾 Meet Mousey — a sweet 12-year-old Chihuahua 💛 Mousey came to us with paraparesis (weakness in her back legs). We’re treating her medically and keeping her as comfortable as possible — including plenty of cuddles from Dr. Levine, which she happily accepts. 💕

This brave little guy was attacked by a large dog and came to us with devastating injuries — severe trauma to his head and eye. An MRI revealed major nasal and skull fractures, a ruptured left eye, and bite wounds that caused a skull fracture near his brain.

But Rambo is a warrior. 💚 He underwent a complex reconstructive surgery, had his injured eye removed (enucleation), and was also neutered while he was under. Despite everything he’s been through, he’s now recovering beautifully — purring, sweet, and in amazing spirits.

Give it up for Rambo! 🎉 He’s the definition of resilience, and we’re so proud of how far he’s come. 💕

Meet Arrow, a 3-year-old Dachshund who came to us completely paraplegic—unable to move her back legs and without any deep pain sensation. In the veterinary neurology world, that’s about as severe as it gets. 💔

An MRI revealed a herniated disc between Th13 and L1, extending to Th12 and causing significant spinal cord compression. We performed emergency decompressive surgery and gave her a guarded prognosis—maybe a 50% chance of meaningful recovery.

But Arrow had other plans. 💥

Today, this determined little girl is standing and walking on her own. Her recovery has amazed all of us, and she’s a true example of resilience and the power of hope (and a little stubborn dachshund spirit 🐾).

Let’s hear it for Arrow—one tough cookie with a heart full of fight! 💛

Z is a 10-year-old Tonkinese who came to us unable to walk due to sudden-onset paraparesis (weakness in the back legs). An MRI showed an acutely herniated disc at L2-3, causing significant compression of his spinal cord.

He underwent decompressive spinal surgery—and this brave boy handled it like a champ. 💪🐱

Two weeks later, Z returned for his suture removal and was already up and moving around on his own! Watching him regain his independence has been nothing short of amazing. Go, Z!

Drop a 💙 or a 🐾 for this resilient little guy!
