Human medicine tends to cross over frequently to veterinary medicine to our benefit. The Freestyle Libre has been a human glucometer device used to monitor human diabetic patients for the last few years. Well now we can make it easier on our pet diabetic patients by pricking them less in order to monitor their blood sugar levels by using the same device. It is applied painlessly to the skin and you can scan the device with your smart phone every 8 hours for 14 days. It shares the data with your vet and it can provide a lot of useful information. That’s a win/win situation...and this kitty gets to wear a stylish shirt 🤗 #freestylelibre

RIP Jimmy! 😞 Sadly we said goodbye to our beloved clinic cat, Jimmy. We knew he was very sick when we acquired him and he had been with us for a little over a year. He had a very happy and exciting last year of his life. Some of his favorite things: to curl up in your lap or amongst a pile of towels, to sit on something you were working on (keyboards, sheets of paper, laundry), to keep a hospital patient’s bed warm for them, stealing your lunch, not wanting to miss out on anything, to be the loudest purr in the room AND the loudest meow, he always liked looking his best with his bow ties and a fresh bath and brushing. We will miss him very much! 💕

The progression of a happy cat at the vet... “Milo” has had a tough start to his life but then found a new home with a very caring client and got him feeling and looking better! He has FIV (feline AIDS) which is not contagious to humans but can be to other cats so it’s important to keep them indoors to prevent the spread to other cats. Since they are immunocompromised, they can easily get sick with bacterial and viral infections but if it’s caught early, they can recover fine. They can live a full and happy life and that’s exactly what Milo is doing! 🤗

All shelter animals need love and a new home! This is a just a simple, uplifting story!

Yesterday, this gentleman wandered in the shelter and asked to see an old dog in need of a home. We paired him with Jack; a 13 year old dachshund mix who has dental disease, a heart murmur, and typical old man lumps/bumps. He said, "He's perfect, I'll take him. What vet do you recommend I take him too?"

Jack curled up on his lap and caught a nap while they both patiently waited for the paperwork to be processed. This is what animal welfare is all about. Falling in love, giving second chances to those who need it most, and finding the heroes in humanity. Happy tails Jack! We couldn't be happier for you! ❤
