✨ Today we’re celebrating Brooke's SEVENTH work-a-versary, and honestly… where would we be without her? 💫 As one of our incredible technicians, Brooke is the definition of an all star. She keeps our MRI days running smoothly, manages multiple patients like a pro, and somehow still finds the time to support and train every team member around her. 🧠📊💙

Brooke shows up day in and day out, takes on countless on-call shifts, and gives her all to our patients, clients, and team. Her leadership, reliability, and calm confidence make even the busiest days feel manageable. 🌟

Brooke, your dedication does not go unnoticed. We are beyond grateful for everything you do and so incredibly lucky to have you on our team. 💖

But that’s not all… Olivia brings a special kind of magic to our clinic with her artistic talent. 🎨💖 Those beautiful, heartfelt welcome cards our clients love so much? Yep — that’s Olivia! Each one is a little work of art, and they mean the world to us and our clients.

Ever notice neurologic symptoms seem to show up in January? ❄️🧠

You’re not imagining it. Cold weather, less activity, and holiday schedule changes can make underlying neurologic issues more noticeable.

Stiffness, weakness, seizures, or balance problems often become harder to ignore when routines slow down. And that’s okay—January is a good time to get answers.

🧠 Thursday Education: Why we ask for a small meal before anesthesia

You may notice that before anesthesia, we often ask you to feed about 1/3 of your pet’s normal meal the morning of their procedure.

Why?
➡️ A completely empty stomach can increase the risk of acid reflux during anesthesia.
➡️ A small amount of food helps buffer stomach acid, which can reduce the risk of aspiration and irritation of the esophagus.
➡️ It also helps keep blood sugar more stable—especially in smaller pets.

This approach is carefully chosen to balance safety and comfort while your pet is under anesthesia. If we ever need different instructions for a specific patient, we’ll always let you know.

As always, thank you for trusting us with your pets 💙🐾

Brains of a neurologist. Heart of a healer. Energy of a certified goofball. 🎉🧠

Today we’re celebrating the founder of LVN, Dr. Levine—lover of Lord of the Rings, all things cars, and the reason so many pets get a second chance. From late nights reviewing MRIs to steady hands in the OR, and endless compassion for pets and the people who love them, we’re grateful for the brilliance, the humor, and the heart he brings every single day.

Comment 🧙‍♂️ if you’ve ever heard a LOTR reference at LVN—or 🏎️ if you know his love for cars!

✨ 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! 🏡💞
