⭐PHOTO SUBMISSION SPOTLIGHT⭐

Here at CASE, there is nothing more rewarding than hearing from families we have the privilege of caring for. Thank you, Maria, for trusting our team with Bristol during such a frightening experience . We are so grateful you allowed us to be apart of Bristol's story💗.

"I am beyond grateful for everyone at Carolina Animal Specialty & Emergency. My gentle giant Bristol got bitten by a copperhead snake on Sunday. We rushed (safely of course) to Hickory and they assessed her right away and took great care of her. Everyone on staff was attentive and they let me know what they were doing each step of the way. The cost was provided to me ahead of time and everything was itemized- I really appreciate that! You all are a great team - you are compassionate, knowledgeable, efficient, and you genuinely care about both your patients and their humans!"

Cherry Berry stopped by for a visit after a fun hike with her mom—Dr. Evans from Banfield Pet Hospital Hickory! 🐾🍒

We’re always happy to see a referring veterinarian choose our 24-hour clinic, even when they have the option to go to their own hospital. Dr. Evans trusted CASE for our specialized care, and we’re looking forward to helping Cherry Berry feel better in the short term ❤️

Meet Kinley! 🐾 This sweet 4-month-old Miniature Schnauzer came to us feeling lethargic, not eating, and vomiting for several days 💛

Our team ran diagnostics, including abdominal radiographs and lab work, and determined she was dealing with gastroenteritis. With subcutaneous fluids and an anti-nausea injection, Kinley was already on the road to feeling much better!

We’re so glad she came in when she did and that we could help get this little girl back on the path to recovery 🐶💕

Take a look at these cuties! 🐾 Meet sweet little Rowdy Parker, a 2-month-old Boxer puppy, who came in for some trouble standing at home.

Dr. Maxfield, who had just started her 12-hour overnight shift, was one of the first to meet this wiggly little guy. She was over the moon to give him LOTS of love 💓

Good news—everything was perfectly fine with Rowdy! No medications needed, just an RX for plenty of kisses and snuggles 😍

Meet Mack! 🐾 A 1.5-year-old Bulldog who came in after swallowing an earbud on Sunday.

Thanks to our Internal Medicine specialist, Dr. Haysom, and her team, we were able to remove the foreign body with a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure—no surgery needed! 🙌

Foreign body ingestions can become serious very quickly, which is why prompt evaluation is so important. We’re so glad Mack came in and that we could help him feel better fast.

And can we take a moment for those adorable little teefers?! 😍 Even after an ER visit, Mack is still serving all the Bulldog charm. 💛

Meet Bucky, a 9½-month-old Bichon who first came to see us after a scary fall—he had jumped out of a window and landed on the sidewalk 🐾💙

Unfortunately, Bucky had broken both of his front legs, but our team quickly got him pain medication and splinted up his little legs. Last night, we saw him again for a recheck and to re-splint his legs. His fractures are healing nicely, though he’ll still need the splints a little while longer.

To brighten things up, our team added some fun accents to his splints—because even peg legs deserve a little style 😍💛

Hang in there, Bucky! You’re on your way to running and playing again soon 🐶✨

Meet Noodle, June & Daisy! 🐾 These three are the beloved pups of one of our amazing doctors, and they’re feeling all the Easter spirit 🐰💛

They’re ready and waiting for the Easter Bunny to make his way to town, spreading treats, snuggles, and lots of festive cheer! 💕

Happy Easter from all of us at Carolina Animal Specialty and Emergency! 🐶🐾💛

Meet Walter & PePe! 🐾 These two are the beloved pups of one of our fantastic management team members, and they were absolute stars during their visit 💕

They even got to test out some of the fun “props” for our social media-approved friends! Of course, good behavior earned them plenty of treats 😍

And yes—they’re getting ready for the Easter Bunny too, looking extra festive and adorable! 🐰💛
