After cataract surgery, George can look up at his family and see them again 🥹

When the diabetic West Highland Terrier began squinting and bumping into furniture, his family knew something was wrong. They brought him to our ophthalmology team, who diagnosed cataracts and worked with his family to determine that surgery was the best path forward.

June is Cataract Awareness Month, so take a minute to learn more about George and cataracts in our new blog post ➡️ https://csuveterinaryhealth.org/how-cataract-surgery-restored-georges-vision/

Daisy wants you to know about the clinical trial she’s in! 📣

Our Orthopedic Medicine and Mobility team is exploring new ways to advance care for animals, and Daisy is helping lead the way. As a dog with arthritis, she is now part of a study involving stem cell injections in her elbows.

Using our gait lab, the team can track where her paws land, how much force she puts on them, and other detailed movement data to better understand her mobility.

On Clinical Trials Day, learn more about clinical trials at our hospitals at ➡️ https://csuveterinaryhealth.org/advancing-care-for-dogs-with-arthritis/

Laminitis can fly on outta here ✌️

When Spice, a miniature horse, came to our team in 2025, she was in severe pain from acute laminitis and struggling to walk. She was also diagnosed with equine Cushing’s disease and insulin resistance, which were making everything even harder on her little body. 🥺

Our equine critical care, field service, and podiatry teams worked together to help manage her pain, stabilize her metabolic disease, and get her feeling like herself again. Now, she’s back where she belongs: running freely in the pasture with her friends.️

Poppy got a second chance. You can make that happen again. 💛

When she became critically ill, Poppy needed emergency, specialized care to survive. She was hospitalized multiple times with severe respiratory distress, until her family got the diagnosis: pyothorax, a life-threatening infection in her chest. She was even transported to CSU with an oxygen tank.

Her care was complex and urgent, requiring oxygen support, draining fluid from around her lungs, and intensive, around-the-clock treatment. As the costs mounted, her family faced an impossible question. How much more could they afford to save her?

That’s when the Companion Care Fund stepped in. Thanks to donors like you, Poppy received the additional care she needed to survive.

Today, Poppy is back home, safe, loved, and thriving. ✨

This CSU Day of Giving, your gift helps make stories like Poppy’s possible.

💛 Help families say yes to lifesaving care
💛 Triple your impact thanks to a $10,000 matching gift

🤲 Give today. Help the next Poppy get their second chance: https://bit.ly/4dc1bIt

It's time for a new chapter in radiation oncology, and one of our very first patients is Cricket.

The 7-year-old golden retriever is being treated for a nasal tumor by our team. She’s now in the middle of 18 radiation treatments as part of her care, and like so many goldens, she’s gentle, patient, and always happy to see the people around her.

Our team is using the new Varian Edge system, which allows for more precise, targeted radiation and shorter treatment times. It means we can treat complex tumors more effectively while keeping our patients' comfort at the center of everything we do.

It’s good to be back caring for patients like Cricket. 🐾

We say we’re for any species and we mean it. Even if it’s Grogu.

During his recent visit, our smallest and most Force sensitive patient decided CCU wasn’t where he wanted to be. Think Labrador retriever appetite, but worse. 🤤

He let himself out and made a beeline for the food pantry to address what can only be described as a truly ravenous appetite. By the time we found him, the evidence was everywhere.

After his self-guided snack tour, Grogu needed IV fluids to help rebalance, anti-nausea support like Cerenia, and close monitoring for food bloat. He’s recovering well and resting comfortably. We sent him home with probiotics.

May the Fourth be with you, and may your patients stay out of trouble ✨
