✨ Meet Travis! ✨

This sweet 1-year-old mixed breed (with some incredible ears 🐶💕) first visited us for what was suspected to be a paw injury.

After an exam with Dr. Karfunkel, one of our urgent care veterinarians, the cut was confirmed and Travis began his care journey. He then followed up with Dr. Bennett, one of our board-certified surgeons, for regular bandage changes to help him heal.

We’re excited to share that Travis has officially “graduated” and will be back to his normal playful self in just a few more days after some light activity restrictions. Through it all, Travis never let his injury bring him down—he’s been nothing but happy and full of energy. 🎉💛

🎉🐶 Show us your mutts! 🐶🎉

It's National Mutt Day, so we’re celebrating the lovable, unpredictable, and totally one-of-a-kind mixed-breed dogs that keep us laughing, guessing — and always feeling loved.

Whether your pup is part shepherd, part couch potato, or part who-knows-what, we want to see them in all their glory!

📸 Drop a photo in the comments and tell us their name, their suspected breed mix, and their funniest quirk.

We’re kicking things off with Gibson — a CCVS patient who we strongly suspect is part bully, boxer, lab… and 100% goober. 🐾

Mixed-breed dogs often have fewer health issues, longer lifespans, and the kind of personality you can’t find in a breed guide.

Beach days are back for Mookie! 🐰💙🌊

Mookie came to see our Zoo & Exotics team for his annual wellness exam — but we’ve known him for a few years now, ever since he was referred to us for a mass behind his eye. After a CT scan and surgery, our team made a surprising discovery: the “mass” was actually a tapeworm cyst. 😳

Thankfully, Mookie made a full recovery and has been living his best life ever since — including soaking up some seaside sunshine. We’re so glad to see him thriving and hopping along like nothing ever happened!

Curious about the services our Zoo & Exotics team offers — or the types of species we care for? Visit capecodvetspecialists.com/zoological-exotic-medicine-buzzards-bay-ma or email [email protected] to learn more!

This little peach 🍑 is a 1-year-old Pomeranian named Peach! She came to CCVS after a few days of vomiting and diarrhea at home. Her mom became concerned when she noticed some blood, a lack of appetite, and Peach seeming unusually lethargic.

Peach was admitted for overnight care at CCVS, where she received close monitoring from her doctor and nursing team. Her stay included an ultrasound to rule out an obstruction and bloodwork to check for any underlying issues. In cases like Peach’s—where symptoms might not seem alarming at first—hospitalization can still be critical, especially for small dogs. Breeds like Pomeranians are more prone to rapid dehydration, which can lead to hypovolemic shock, a life-threatening condition where the heart can’t pump enough blood due to fluid or blood loss.

With supportive care and fluid therapy, Peach perked up and regained her appetite by the next morning. She was cleared to head home and has been back to her spunky self ever since—chasing her beloved ping pong ball around the house. Life is once again a peach for Miss Peach! 😉🐶🍑

Your Pet-Safe 4th of July Checklist Starts Here 🇺🇸🐾

The 4th of July is one of the top days for lost pets and emergency vet visits. Help keep your pets safe with these proactive tips:

✅ Before the festivities:
- Make sure pets have ID tags & up-to-date microchip info
- Take a current photo of your pet, just in case
- Double-check that your yard or fences are secure
- Have an anxious pet? Refill any calming medications now — don’t wait until last minute
- Prep for hot weather — provide shade and water if your pet will be outside

✅ During the celebrations:
- Keep pets safely indoors, preferably in a quiet, escape-proof space
- Keep them away from sparklers, glow sticks, grills, and BBQ skewers
- No table scraps! Many holiday foods are toxic or harmful to pets
- Never leave pets in the car — even briefly
- Leave them home — fireworks shows are no place for pets

📍 And remember — if an emergency does happen, we are here if you need us:
• CCVS-Buzzards Bay: Open 24/7 for emergencies
• CCVS-Dennis: Friday 2pm through Monday 10pm (24 hrs), & Tues–Thurs 2pm–10pm.

Plan ahead, stay safe, and give your pets a stress-free 4th!

Meet Oatmeal! 🐰💙

This adorable guy came to see our Zoo & Exotics team for a neuter—and he did great! Here he is post-op, looking extra cute (and a little sleepy 🥹).

Our board-certified specialist in zoological medicine, Dr. Kyra Berg, led his care alongside our exceptional, credentialed exotics team to ensure Oatmeal received safe, high-quality, and compassionate treatment every step of the way. 🩺✨

Neutering rabbits is an important part of responsible pet ownership—it helps prevent unwanted litters, reduces hormonal behaviors, and can lower the risk of certain health issues like testicular cancer and torsion. At CCVS, we’re proud to offer expert collaborative care for exotic pets like Oatmeal.

Have a bunny or another exotic animal in need of specialized care? We’re here when you need us. Feel free to reach out to our Zoo/Exotics Team at [email protected] 💛
