Arthur Morgan & his parents came to us with a bit of an emergency, Arthur had eaten their AirTag!

Our team at VRC was able to utilize endoscopy to locate, retrieve, and remove the AirTag, sparing Arthur and his family surgery.

Seeing Arthur’s adorable face and reading his parent’s kind words make everything we do worth it!

Meet Jax, an eleven year old Labrador retriever with a special story.
Jax was adopted by his mom Kaili in 2017, since then he has overcome many obstacles.

A year after his adoption Jax was diagnosed with bilateral CCL tears and given pain medication. The medication made Jax very sick, which is unusual, so further investigation was done by the VRC Internal Medicine team. Liver and Kidney biopsies were then performed and revealed Jax’s Canine Copper Disease Diagnosis.

Two weeks after Jax’s biopsies, a bleeding vessel was located via ultrasound and Jax received a blood transfusion. His bleeding vessel was surgically repaired, but unfortunately a kidney needed to be removed a couple weeks later. Jax adjusted well to life with one kidney! Jax has undergone surgery two more times since, once for the removal of a Soft Tissue Sarcoma, and again for a toe amputation that was suspected to be cancerous.

In March of 2025 Jax was diagnosed with GOLPP & Megaesophagus. The radiographs at that time also indicated that Jax had a pulmonary nodule, this nodule has since grown but his other diagnoses rule out his eligibility for further treatment.

Though Jax’s list of trials and tribulations are long, he has never faltered in his positive, inspiring, and cheerful disposition. Jax befriends every animal and person he meets spreading smiles along the way, usually as he hops down the hallway looking for the next treat. There is nothing that Jax loves more than friends and food!

Recently Jax received a new brother, Grumps, who was adopted after needing care following a hit by car incident. The bond that Jax and Grumps share is beautiful and heartwarming. His gentle, patient, and sweet disposition make him the perfect big brother for Grumps.

Jax has touched the lives of many at VRC, as he has been involved with the Internal Medicine department, the Anesthesia and Surgery department, & occasionally the Emergency department when he gets into trouble. We are honored to be a part of Jax’s life, and to support him on his journey, he is a one-in-a-million dog! Here’s to Jax!!

Mental Health Awareness Month is an important reminder that caring for others starts with caring for ourselves, too.

In emergency and specialty veterinary medicine, every shift brings urgent cases, emotional moments, and the responsibility of being there when pets and their families need help most. Behind every patient is a team of dedicated professionals showing compassion, focus, and resilience.

This month, we recognize the importance of supporting mental wellbeing within veterinary medicine and creating space for rest, connection, and support.

To every member of the veterinary team: thank you for the care you give every day.

Sometimes, it’s the smallest findings that make the biggest difference.

Winston came to his primary veterinarian for a routine visit and dental planning—something many pets go through every year. During that visit, a heart murmur was detected. While Winston felt perfectly normal at home, his care team recommended a cardiology evaluation before moving forward with anesthesia.
That decision made all the difference. 🐾

At his cardiology visit, Winston was diagnosed with degenerative mitral valve disease, a common heart condition in dogs. Advanced imaging showed that while his heart was still pumping well, there were early structural changes—specifically enlargement of the left atrium and some valve leakage.

The good news? Winston is not in heart failure, and thanks to early detection, we were able to start medication to support his heart before more serious signs develop.
His family was also given simple but powerful tools to monitor him at homelike tracking his sleeping breathing rate to help catch any changes early.

Because of this proactive approach:
✨ Winston can safely move forward with his dental care
✨ His condition will be closely monitored over time
✨ And most importantly—he gets to keep living his happy, normal life at home

Winston’s story is a reminder that routine exams matter. A simple murmur, caught at the right time, can lead to early intervention and a much better long-term outcome.

We’re so proud to be part of Winston’s care team and to support him every step of the way. 🐶💙
