Oral tumors are growths that form in the mouth, gums, tongue, or jaw. Some are benign, while others are cancerous ā€” and many pets show subtle signs early on.

Signs pet owners often notice:
ā€¢ Persistent bad breath
ā€¢ Drooling or bleeding from the mouth
ā€¢ Difficulty chewing or dropping food
ā€¢ Facial or jaw swelling

Surgical removal is often the most effective way to relieve discomfort, restore function, and reduce the risk of progression. Early evaluation allows for more treatment options and better outcomes.

If something seems ā€œoffā€ with your petā€™s mouth or eating habits, a surgical consultation can help determine the next step. stitchesvet.com/contact

Healing doesnā€™t stop when your pet leaves the hospital ā€” recovery at home is just as important. šŸ©ŗšŸ’™

Make sure your pet gets plenty of rest, keeps their incision clean and dry, and avoids licking or chewing at the site (cones help!). Administer medications exactly as prescribed and monitor for signs of swelling, redness, or discharge.

Follow-up visits enable us to monitor the healing progress and remove sutures as needed. With a bit of extra care and patience, your pet will be back to feeling their best in no time.

Arthroscopic surgery = big results from a tiny incision! šŸ’™
By using a small camera inside the joint, our surgeons can diagnose and treat orthopedic conditions with remarkable precision ā€” and with far less discomfort than traditional open-joint surgery.

Itā€™s commonly used for issues in the elbow, shoulder, hip, and stifle, helping pets get back to the activities they love sooner. šŸ¶šŸ¦“

If your pet is limping, slowing down, or avoiding stairs or play, it might be time for a joint evaluation. stitchesvet.com/contact

SWORD OR SHIELD. In the Civil Rights Movement, the German Shepherd was too often imaged as an instrument of oppressionā€”canine weaponry used to intimidate peaceful marchers. This image is an effort to reclaim that symbol.

Daisy Bates (standing, second from right) was the fearless Arkansas NAACP president who orchestrated the integration of Little Rock Central High School. As she guided the Little Rock Nineā€”the brave students who desegregated Arkansas schools in 1957ā€”her home became a target of constant violence and death threats.

But she wasnā€™t unprotected. She had Trampā€”her loyal German Shepherd. While the world saw this breed as a symbol of fear, for Daisy, Tramp was a guardian. He slept by the door, alert and ready, standing watch over the heroes who changed history.

I am deeply moved by this duality. The human-animal bond is a mirror; the same strength that can be weaponized can also be a source of profound safety. Today, we honor the protectorsā€”both human and animalā€”who walked the long road to freedom.
