🎉 Big milestone alert! 🎉

Help us congratulate Ashlyn, one of our fantastic Lead Technicians, on their【5】 【Y】【E】【A】【R】anniversary with RRAEH! From day-to-day teamwork to lifesaving moments, their dedication and positive energy make such a difference.

We’re so lucky to have you on our team, Ashlyn - cheers to you! 💙🐾🩺

Here’s what Ashlyn had to say about her 5-year journey:
🗣 Describe your first 5 years at RRAEH using only 3 emojis:
🤯🙂❤️

🔄 What's something you've learned about yourself since joining RRAEH?
I’ve learned that I love poking/performing/obtaining labwork on small things: cystos on small bladders, venipuncture and/or catheter placement in neonates or exotics, etc.

🏆 What's your proudest accomplishment?
Becoming a lead technician and being able to be a mentor and someone for people to look up to

☺One moment that always makes you smile?
One moment will always be when I triaged Dreamer. She was a dog that came in comatose and within not even 24 hours she made a complete 180 and became the happiest and sweetest girl, getting to go home to a foster family.

👀How has your outlook changed since year 1?
I’ve gained so much more confidence in not only myself as a technician, but as a person as well. I have so much experience and love helping others feel the same way

📬What would a message to Year 1 You say?
Take a deep breath, believe in your skills and education and it’ll take you far

🩺 When a diagnosis isn’t clear, our Internal Medicine team gets to work.

They’re the detectives of veterinary medicine — uncovering the root cause of chronic vomiting, unexplained weight loss, persistent cough and much more.

Every test, every scan, every clue leads to one goal: helping your pet feel like themselves again. ❤️🐾

🦃🍁 Thanksgiving is almost here—and while we’re excited for the feast, your pets may be a little too excited!
Many holiday foods and decorations can pose risks to curious cats and dogs.

Here are a few things to keep an eye on this week:
• Turkey bones & skin – choking hazards and a risk for pancreatitis
• Corn cobs – can cause dangerous intestinal blockages
• Stuffing & gravy – often contain onions and garlic, which are toxic to pets
• Desserts – chocolate, xylitol, and raisins are all highly toxic
• Decorations & candles – tempting for pets, but risky if chewed or knocked over

❤️ If your pet gets into something they shouldn’t, don’t wait.
Our emergency department is open 24/7, including ALL holidays.
