If you’re looking for Dr. Smith, there’s a good chance you’ll find him in the surgery suite, his happy place. 💚🐾

Here he is doing what he loves, performing a TPLO on one of our canine patients.

What is a TPLO? It stands for tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. It’s a knee surgery for dogs with a torn cranial cruciate ligament, which is similar to the ACL in people.

What does it help with? The surgery changes the angle at the top of the shinbone so the knee is more stable when the dog puts weight on it. Once they’ve healed, that added stability can help them walk more comfortably and get back to things they love, like taking their time sniffing every mailbox on the block. 🐶

Gingerpooh had two things to share at Oak Tree today. 🐾

First, a whole lot of high fives for Dr. Hitchcock for making her visit so stress-free. 🙌

Second, her official football prediction is that the Browns are going to the Super Bowl.

One day. 🏈🧡🤎

We admire your optimism, Gingerpooh . 😂

Happy National Cat Day! 🐾🐱 Today, we’re celebrating the tiny bosses who run our homes and have our hearts by the strings.

Let’s face it, life would be boring without our professional biscuit makers and countertop supervisors.

📸 Drop a photo of your kitty in the comments and tell us their name. Bonus points for sharing their funniest little quirk! 💚

Let’s fill our feed with cats! 😻

⚠️ Graphic veterinary image below.

This enlarged uterus was removed from a patient of ours who had pyometra.

Pyometra is a life-threatening infection that causes the uterus to fill with pus. It can occur in unspayed female dogs and cats and requires urgent veterinary care, often including emergency surgery.

Signs may include:
➡️ low energy
➡️ loss of appetite
➡️ increased thirst
➡️ vomiting
➡️ vaginal discharge.
(Discharge isn't always present, so don't wait for it to seek help.)

Spaying helps prevent this dangerous condition.

Talk with your veterinarian about the right timing for your pet!

Georgie spent a little time getting to know Dr. Hitchcock, and we think it’s safe to say she made a new friend! 🐶💚

Happy Caturday from Sugar! 🍬💕

A little Sugar makes everything sweeter 🥹💗

This adorable little kitten recently came in to establish care with us, and it's safe to say she stole a few hearts along the way! From those tiny paws to that precious little face, she's already got us wrapped around her paw. 🐾

We're so excited to watch Sugar grow and be part of her journey through all nine lives! Welcome to the Oak Tree family, sweet girl!

Dad said we were going for a ride to get food. I pictured a drive-thru. He pictured keeping me up to date on my vaccines and picking up my special food at the vet. Clearly, we need to work on our communication. 😂

Luckily, my technician was very nice and paid me in treats. Dad, you’re forgiven. But next time, I’m picking the drive-thru.

Sincerely, Bodi 🐶

The skills in this graphic are only part of the story. 💚🐾

It’s also the gentle voice calming a nervous patient, the extra blanket during recovery, the small change they notice, and the reassurance they offer a worried pet parent.

Our veterinary technicians bring knowledge, compassion, and a whole lot of heart to Oak Tree every day!

To our techs: we see how much you give, and we’re so grateful for each and every one of you! Happy Vet Tech Week!

Imani: professional cone tester, undefeated paw licker. 😂🐾❤️

After this clever girl outsmarted several soft cones, her mom and dad brought her in for an early recheck and agreed it was time to try our recommendation: the classic plastic cone!

Soft cones can bend and fold, letting determined pups sneak past them. A properly fitted hard cone holds its shape, helping keep those sore paws off the menu while they heal.

We love you, Imani, but the paws are closed for business! ❤️
