🐾 Meet Bruce! 🐾
At just 8 weeks old, this adorable little guy had already experienced quite a scary injury. Bruce came to us with a lip avulsion, a painful injury where the lip had been separated from the surrounding tissue and required surgical repair.
Our team carefully repaired his lip and provided the supportive care he needed to get him back on the road to healing. 💙
Despite his rough start, Bruce has been such a sweet, resilient little kitten! We’re so happy we could help this tiny guy get the care he needed. 🐱✨
We’re wishing Bruce a smooth recovery and a long, happy life filled with plenty of kitten adventures! 💕🐾

Missy has been such a joy to care for! 💕 After undergoing two TECA procedures with us, she is now fully healed and back to being her sweet, rambunctious self.
A TECA (Total Ear Canal Ablation) is a surgery performed to relieve chronic, painful ear disease by removing the damaged ear canal and infection source. While it’s a big procedure, it can be truly life-changing—eliminating pain and giving pets a fresh start.
We love seeing Missy’s happy, playful energy shine again—she’s truly a special girl! 🐾

Kenichi came to us needing orthopedic care for both a CCL (cranial cruciate ligament) injury and an MPL (medial patellar luxation). These conditions can cause significant pain and mobility issues, but with the right surgical repair, pets can get back to living active, comfortable lives.
We’re happy to share that Kenichi did great through surgery and is on the road to recovery! 💙🐾 His journey isn’t over yet—rest, rehab, and lots of TLC are key—but he’s already on the right path.
Orthopedic injuries can be overwhelming for pet owners, and we’re here every step of the way to guide, treat, and support both you and your pet.
Wishing Kenichi a smooth and speedy recovery!

🐾💙 A Long Journey for a Second Chance 💙🐾
This sweet kitty Rodi made an urgent trip all the way from Chicago to our hospital for emergency surgery after ingesting hair ties that caused a life-threatening intestinal obstruction.
Hair ties may seem harmless, but for cats, they can be incredibly dangerous when swallowed—leading to serious complications that require immediate intervention.
We’re so grateful we were able to step in and help, and even more thankful for a dedicated owner who acted quickly when something wasn’t right. Because of that quick action, this little one is now on the road to recovery! 🐱✨

If your pet ever shows signs of vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite, don’t wait—seek veterinary care right away.
