🐾 Meet Coco — a brave and beautiful 7-month-old Siberian kitten who’s been through quite the journey! 💛

Coco had foreign body surgery to remove part of a cat toy that had become stuck in her small intestine. Recovery was tough — so she came to Pulse for continued care. On presentation, she was running a fever and battling mild pancreatitis. Despite medications to get her GI tract moving again, she wasn’t improving and couldn’t tolerate the nutritional support we were giving her. 💉

She went back into another exploratory surgery, where we found an abscess at her previous surgical site and had to remove a portion of her intestine. She needed a blood transfusion — but little by little, Coco started to improve. 🐱💪 She began eating, playing, and showing her sweet, spunky kitten personality again.

Coco later underwent another surgery to place a special feeding tube to support her nutrition. She spent a total of 21 days in hospital with us. Once her feeding tube was removed, she was able to go home — but the removal led to some leakage from the site that caused skin irritation. She came in every day for checkups and bandage changes, but ultimately, she needed to stay with us for another 8 days to help her heal and have her gastrostomy site closed.

Now? Coco is doing better! She’s only coming in every couple of weeks for rechecks, and while we absolutely adore seeing her, we’re so thrilled that she’s home with her wonderful family and getting back to being a normal, happy kitten. 💕🐾

Our Emergency/Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Diagnostic Imaging teams all worked together to help Coco through her recovery — but she quickly became loved throughout the entire hospital. Every single staff member, in every department, absolutely adored her. 🐾💖

We are so proud of this little fighter and the support our team and Coco’s family showed every step of the way!

🌿 We had some unexpected (and absolutely adorable) overnight guests at the hospital — a baby deer and a sleepy little weasel! 🦌🤍 The fawn even got bottle fed while in our care. 🍼

🐾 May is National Chip Your Pet Month 🐾

1 in 3 pets will go missing at some point if their lives. But thanks to microchips, many find their way back home!

At our Emergency Department, we've witnessed some of the most heart warming reunions—lost pets brought to us scared and alone, and with one quick scan, our team finds a microchip and when they look up the ID Number in a date base… suddenly there’s a name, a number, and a family. 💙

Our dedicated staff has seen the relief in pet parents’ eyes and the wagging tails and loud purrs of pets who made it back home 🏡—all because of a tiny microchip and the love from a community!

This month, we’re celebrating those stories—and the little technology that makes such a big difference! 🎉

🐾 Meet Midge! 🐾

This sweet little French Bulldog recently came to see our Behaviorist, Dr. Heinrich, for a behavior that's more common than you might think — Possessive Aggression, also known as Resource Guarding.

What is resource guarding? 🤔

It’s when a dog shows signs of aggression (like growling, snapping, or stiffening) to protect something they consider valuable — like food, toys, or even a favorite person. It’s their way of saying, “Hey, this is mine!”

Midge was displaying some of these behaviors, and with Dr. Heinrich’s help, she’s now on the path to feeling more secure and learning that she doesn’t have to guard what she loves and values.

Resource guarding isn’t about dominance — it’s often rooted in fear or anxiety. The good news? With positive reinforcement and expert guidance in changing not only the dogs behaviour, but the human’s behaviour and the environment, many dogs can learn to feel safe and relaxed in these situations.🐾

We're so proud of Midge and grateful to have Dr. Anneliese Heinrich on our team to support pets and their humans through challenges like this! 💕

Meet Violet and her Trusty Panda! 💜

Our sweet patient Violet was back to see our Neurology team for an MRI, and of course, she brought along her favourite sidekick, Emotional Support Panda! 🐼 This cuddly companion has been by Violet’s side through it all and today was no exception — it stayed with her the entire time, offering comfort and snuggles during her visit! 🐾

What is an MRI?

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an advanced imaging technique that uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create highly detailed images of the inside of the body — especially the brain, spinal cord, and surrounding soft tissues. It’s completely non-invasive and doesn’t involve any radiation.

In veterinary neurology, MRIs are a crucial tool. They allow us to see changes in the brain or spine that might explain symptoms like seizures, weakness, trouble walking, or neck/back pain. With these detailed images, our team can make more accurate diagnoses and create personalized treatment plans to help pets like Violet feel their best.

Today, Violet was extra brave — so much so that we surprised her with a new sidekick to take home: Emotional Support Dolphin! 🐬 She’s now got a full support team by her side, and we couldn’t be prouder of how well she did! 💜

Dressed in his Edmonton Oilers gear, Bogart came in today with his game face on — not just to cheer on his favourite team during the playoffs, but also for an important visit with our wonderful Cardiology team! 🩺💓

Bogart was in for a follow-up echocardiogram to monitor his heart health after being diagnosed with degenerative mitral valve disease (ACVIM Stage B2).

This condition means that there are degenerative changes to Bogart’s mitral valve (which is the valve that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle). 🫀These degenerative valve changes results in the mitral valve not closing properly when the heart contracts and therefore blood leaks backward — this ultimately makes the heart work harder and can lead to heart enlargement. Stage B2 means that the leak in the mitral valve is hemodynamically significant (meaning it is causing enlargement of the left-sided cardiac chambers), but there is no evidence of congestive heart failure (fluid building up in the lungs). Luckily Bogart’s recheck today showed that his heart disease is stable compared to his prior visit a year ago (yay!) — and with close monitoring and care, we’re helping him stay strong and happy! ✨🫶

He was all smiles and tail wags — especially knowing he’ll be home in time to catch the next face-off with the Golden Knights! 🧡💙

Let’s go Oilers! 🏒🐾
