Meet Enzo, a sweet and determined Bernese Mountain Dog who’s been working hard with our rehab team since May 2025. Enzo has faced some serious challenges: Cervical Spondylomyelopathy (Wobbler’s Disease), bilateral hip dysplasia, and a total hip replacement with complications, but he’s never lost his spark.

Despite being non-ambulatory without help, Enzo is making incredible progress. With the support of his loving family, and our rehab team, he’s stronger, happier, and more mobile than ever. He enjoys assisted walks in the yard, playtime with his housemates, and lots of peanut butter treats. 🥜

✨ Rehab Goals for Enzo:
Improve comfort
Restore healthy movement
Build strength
Reduce joint stress
Enhance quality of life

We’re so proud of how far Enzo has come and honored to be part of his journey. 💙

🐾 Keep going, Enzo—you inspire us every day!

📚🐾 Back-to-School Hazards for Pets

As kids head back to class, we see a spike in pet poisonings — many from curious noses digging into backpacks and lunchboxes left on the floor.

Some of the most common (and dangerous) items pets can find inside include:
🚫 Sugar-free gum (xylitol)
🚫 Grapes & raisins
🚫 Macadamia nuts
🚫 Moldy snacks
🚫 Cold packs
🚫 ADHD meds, inhalers & OTC pain relievers
🚫 Art supplies without safety seals

🛑 Pro tip: Designate a spot out of reach for backpacks and lunchboxes. Behind a closed door is best for extra-persistent pups!

When in doubt or if your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, give us a call — we're open 24/7.

Have you noticed your dog squinting, blinking excessively, or developing red, goopy eyes? You might think it's just allergies at first, but your pup could be dealing with dry eye. Also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), dry eye in dogs happens when glands around the eyes no longer produce enough natural tears.

Learn more about dry eye on our website blog: https://www.vrcmalvern.com/dry-eye-in-dogs-what-pet-owners-should-know/

If you suspect your dog has dry eye, schedule a consultation with our board-certified Ophthalmologist, Dr. Zachary Badanes today: (610) 647-2950.

Meet this brave little Vizsla named Riley, a 4-year-old sweetheart who came to our Emergency Service after suddenly becoming wobbly and showing signs of a neurological issue, including a head tilt and unusual eye movements.

After overnight care and a detailed evaluation by our neurologist, Dr. Suzanne Rosen, advanced imaging revealed something serious—a fungal infection known as cryptococcal meningitis, which was affecting Riley’s brain and spinal cord. This condition is rare but serious, and immediate treatment was essential.

Our team jumped into action with a customized treatment plan including antifungal medication and steroids to reduce inflammation. Riley has had a few ups and down over her course of treatment but we are happy to report that now she continues to improve at home!
