🎉 Celebrating Dr. Machum’s 5-Year Anniversary! 🎉

This week, we're excited to celebrate Dr. Machum and her 5-year anniversary with our team!
Over the past five years, Dr. Machum has become an invaluable part of our hospital. She is deeply committed to the health and well-being of her patients and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure they receive the best possible care.
When she's not caring for pets at the clinic, you'll likely find her at home with her own menagerie of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and more. She also enjoys running, traveling, and—if you know her well—keeping a good stash of snacks close at hand!
Known for her great sense of humour, honest and straightforward approach and ability to stay calm under pressure, Dr. Machum is a fantastic teammate and a strong supporter of those around her. Her dedication, compassion, and willingness to help make her a valued member of our team.
Thank you, Dr. Machum, for five years of hard work, dedication, compassion and laughter. We are grateful to have you as part of our team and look forward to many more years together.

❤️ **Congratulations on your 5-year anniversary, Dr. Machum

Happy 5-Year Work Anniversary, Dr. Papic! 🎉

Today we're celebrating Dr. Papic and her 5 years as a veterinarian at Maritime Animal Hospital!

From high school co-op student to 5 year team member, Dr. Papic has become an invaluable part of our hospital. She is affectionately known as “The Wizard,” a nickname that still fits perfectly thanks to her sharp mind, problem-solving skills, and signature dark humour that keeps us laughing through even the toughest days.

Her dedication to her patients, genuine compassion for their families and commitment to excellent veterinary care are evident every day.
We are so grateful to have her as part of the team!

Congratulations on 5 years, Dr. Papic! Thank you for everything you do for our patients, clients and team. Here's to many more years ahead!

We hope the students enjoyed the discussions they had, as well as seeing some of the interesting and cool stuff associated with vet med!
Thank you to Dr. Shannon Myles, Natalie Bradley RVT, Dr. Kathleen Sterritt and Ashna Rampersaud RVT.

Sometimes all we can do is relieve their suffering. 😞This adult Bald Eagle was admitted today after being found and sent to us by DNR ranger Bree. This eagle suffered what would be a fatal wing injury from impact. It is never an easy decision, but a necessary one when needed. Injuries that were just not repairable.
A lot of new admissions today, all animals that are orphaned, injured or both. Thank you to everyone that takes the time to find help for a wild animal in need.
Help us help them, donations are very much needed and appreciated. To support our work, please visit our website:

Eliott. A 1 year old German Shepherd decided to bring the rodeo to Maritime Animal Hospital! He got a hold of one of his owner’s cowboy boots and decided it would make a good snack! Thankfully his owner’s brought him right over for an X-ray, where we confirmed he did, in fact eat the boot, nails and all!
Because of the nails, we did an emergency gastrotomy to prevent internal injury.
He was very brave and is now on the road to recovery! ❤️
