At just 2.35 pounds, Baby was already a pretty big deal around MedVet Phoenix. 🐶

Baby came to us after his family noticed a newly formed mass in his right inguinal area, near the groin. An abdominal ultrasound confirmed that the mass was actually a testicle that had not descended into the sc***um. A second undescended testicle was found in the same area as well.

Because Baby’s family lives out of town, our team was able to perform his surgery the same day as his ultrasound. Baby underwent surgery to remove both undescended testicles, a procedure known as bilateral cryptorchid surgery. He did great and recovered quickly afterward.

Our team loved getting to meet this tiny, adorable patient and his very sweet family. Baby quickly became a favorite around MedVet Phoenix, and we’re so happy to see him doing so well! ✨

Jamie was referred to MedVet Phoenix’s Medical Oncology team after a mass suddenly appeared on his forehead and began growing quickly, which was starting to affect his eye.

A CT scan helped our team get a detailed look at the mass and the surrounding structures, which was important for planning its surgical removal. Jamie then underwent surgery and did great. He recovered beautifully at home and is now back to his normal self, with even more energy than before!

When Jamie returned for his final visit, he was very happy to see his MedVet friends again. Of course, the treats may have had something to do with it. 😋

We’re so happy to see this sweet guy back to feeling like himself!

For Lacy, long walks had become a thing of the past.

Severe arthritis had started to affect her energy and make it harder for her to enjoy the walks she loved. Lacy came to MedVet Phoenix for help and received a targeted, once-yearly joint injection that treats chronic osteoarthritis and joint inflammation in dogs.

At her recent recheck, Lacy’s family shared some pretty exciting news: she’s back to those long walks, and she’s happier and more energetic overall.

We’re so happy to see Lacy moving more comfortably and getting back to one of her favorite things!

Ryder’s road to recovery took patience, plenty of bandage changes, and a little help from our Surgery team. ❤️‍🩹

Ryder came to MedVet Phoenix with severe burns on his abdomen that required extensive wound care. After several bandage changes, he underwent surgery to remove damaged tissue and place a skin graft to help his wounds heal.

The good news? Ryder responded beautifully. His wounds began healing quickly after surgery, and by his final visit, they had healed tremendously.

We’ll miss seeing this sweet guy around MedVet Phoenix, but we’re even happier knowing he’s healed and back to his adventures. 🐶
