Emergency veterinary medicine isn’t just physically demanding - it’s emotional, too. ❤️

At VEG, we support our teams so they can show up for you and your pet when it matters most. We sat down with Medical Director Dr. Sarah Hoggan (20+ years in ER) to talk about the realities of the job, mental health in vet med, and what it really takes to care for pets - and the people who love them.

Zilla came in for an ultrasound, and the one thing that helped her relax most? Her favorite show playing the entire time. 🫶

We always find ways to make pets feel more comfortable during stressful moments - whether it's an extra treat, cozy cuddles, or TV marathons.

Share this with a pet parent whose fur-friend can’t stop watching TV. 👀

Note for pet: Nope, the baby bird is not a toy! ❌

It’s fledgling season, which means you may spot baby birds on the ground as they learn to fly. Seeing the li’l tweeter can spark your instinct to protect - and your pet’s instinct to investigate.

Rule # 1: Keep your pet away from baby birds 🐈🐕
Dogs and cats may grab at the bird out of curiosity. This can lead to:
🐦 Pecks or scratches, especially around the eyes or nose
🐦 Small wounds
🐦 Exposure to bacteria or parasites carried by wild birds
🐦 Digestive issues if feathers or bones are swallowed

Watch for signs like:
🐦 Eye injuries or squinting
🐦 Bleeding or puncture wounds
🐦 Swelling around the face
🐦 Vomiting
🐦 Signs of pain
🐦 Lethargy or unusual behavior

Remember, even minor wounds can become infected quickly. If something feels off - or you’re unsure - call or visit VEG ER for Pets, we’re open 24/7 for any emergency.

Never touch the baby bird; call wildlife control if you think the bird’s injured.

In veterinary medicine, the wins are big and the losses can be heavy. In either case, emotions run high. Protecting your mental health isn’t about shutting feelings down - it’s about giving yourself the space to process them before deciding your next move.

At the beginning of 2025, we launched our Wellness ERG (Employee Resource Group) to create exactly that kind of space. What started as an idea has grown into a community of 150+ members committed to supporting one another, building healthy habits, and making mental well-being part of how we work - not an afterthought.

Because sustainable care for others starts with caring for ourselves. ❤️
