Meet Maci—another Weight Loss Challenger!

Maci is 11, full of tortitude 😼 (that’s cat for “sassiness with a side of attitude”), snack-obsessed 🍗, super nosy 🕵️‍♀️, and a pro napper 💤.

Born under a shed, she is now queen of the house. She loves her bestie Tessa 🐱, tolerates her Dalmatian siblings, and absolutely avoids her German Shepherd siblings 🐕.

Nosy? Maybe. Iconic? Absolutely.

Let’s cheer her on as she naps her way to a healthier, sassier life!

✨ Specialty Surgery Day at Lakeview! ✨

We partnered with our amazing mobile surgical team to help two special patients get back to their best selves! 🩺💙

🐱 Charsiu, a brave 9-month-old Abyssinian kitten, underwent an FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) to treat a painful hip condition. This procedure removes the damaged part of the hip joint, allowing for pain-free movement and improved mobility—perfect for an active young cat ready to get back to playing and climbing!

🐶 Rylo, a sweet 2-year-old American Bully, had soft palate surgery to help him breathe easier and enjoy a more comfortable, active lifestyle. By reducing excess tissue in the back of the throat, this surgery improves airflow and reduces the risk of breathing-related complications—especially important for flat-faced breeds like his.

Huge thanks to our visiting surgical specialists for bringing advanced care right to our hospital! 🏥💪 Seeing these pets on their road to recovery makes every effort worth it. 💕

📢 Weekly Tails with Dr. De Cordon: Storm’s Spay Surgery 🚨 (⚠️ Graphic Content Warning)

This week, we’re sharing Storm’s case—a 4-year-old dog diagnosed with open pyometra, a serious infection of the uterus that can make dogs very sick. Pyometra is a condition that requires prompt surgical intervention, as it can lead to severe complications if left untreated.

Storm underwent a spay surgery to remove the infected uterus and is now recovering well. This case serves as an important reminder that spaying not only prevents unwanted litters but also eliminates the risk of pyometra and reduces certain health risks.

Swipe to learn more about pyometra and why proactive veterinary care is so important. Wishing Storm a smooth recovery! 🐶💙
