Shout-out to Sherman! 🐾💙

This sweet boy came in for a TPLO surgery performed by Dr. Havemann and handled everything like a champ 💪

This procedure helps stabilize the knee after a cranial cruciate ligament injury, giving dogs the support they need to move more comfortably and confidently again. Recovery takes time, but with rest, leash restrictions, and lots of TLC, Sherman is on the path toward feeling much better.

🐶💙 A Breath of Fresh Air for Pibble! 💙🐶

Meet Pibble! ❤️ This sweet pup underwent surgical correction for Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) to help him breathe more comfortably and ultimately improve his quality of life.

These procedures include:
✨ Staphylectomy (shortening of the elongated soft palate)
✨ Ala vestibuloplasty (widening of the nostril openings)
✨ Tonsillectomy (removal of protruding tonsils)

The first picture is the day of surgery and the second is at his two-week recheck exam (bonus points for the cute bottom teeth!)

Shout-out to Rock Spring Veterinary Clinic for the cute referral and for their top-tier brachycephalic anesthesia protocols!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — and in veterinary medicine, that conversation matters deeply. 💚

Veterinary professionals dedicate their lives to caring for animals and supporting the people who love them — often while quietly navigating stress, compassion fatigue, burnout, and mental health challenges of their own.

To every veterinarian, technician, assistant, CSR, student, and support team member: your work matters, and so does your well-being.

Let’s continue building a profession where compassion includes ourselves, too. 💙
