Meet GCVS Houston's Patient of the Month, Buck! 🎉

Buck, the adorable white-and-tan ferret pictured cuddling with his sister, Bella, recently became an unexpected hero! When Bella needed surgery to remove part of her liver, Buck came along as a potential blood donor in case she needed a transfusion. Thankfully, Bella's surgery with Dr. Cole was successful, and she didn't need a transfusion!

But Buck's opportunity to be a hero was just beginning! Another ferret patient needed a lifesaving blood transfusion. With Buck's family's generous permission, Buck donated blood and helped save another patient's life.

We're so grateful to Buck and his incredible family for their generosity and willingness to help another patient. Also, check out this amazing 3D-printed medal that Dr. Magnotti made for Buck! 🏆

November is National Cancer Awareness Month, and we have a very special patient we'd like you to meet! ❤️

About four years ago, Jingles' family found her wandering their neighborhood. After searching for her owners without success, they decided to give her a forever home. And it's safe to say she's been spreading happiness ever since.

Since 2024, this sweet girl has been battling hepatoblastoma, an extremely rare form of liver cancer in dogs, with only a handful of documented cases worldwide. Through two major liver surgeries, multiple rounds of chemotherapy, and ongoing treatment with our GCVS Houston Medical Oncology team, Jingles has never lost her spunky personality of love for life!

Jingles has become quite the social butterfly around GCVS! Her visits aren't complete without making the rounds to say hello to her friends in different departments. She's basically turned GCVS into her own personal social club, and we're all happy to be members!

We're so thankful to Jingles' family for allowing us to be part of her care. Keep being your sweet, spunky self, Jingles!

Our GCVS NASA Parkway team recently welcomed The Feline Medical Center for our very first hands-on Lunch & Learn!

This feline-focused CPR refresher gave team members the opportunity to practice lifesaving skills, including CPR, lateral intubation, and IO catheter placement.

We love opportunities to collaborate, share knowledge, and strengthen the care we provide to our feline patients. 😻

Back in September, our GCVS Houston Avian & Exotics team had the opportunity to help a very special patient, thanks to our friends at the Houston SPCA

A Good Samaritan found an American Bald Eagle injured on the side of the road, and his injuries suggested he may have fought another eagle. During the examination with Dr. Magnotti at GCVS Houston, we discovered wounds on his feet and beak, along with pneumocoelom, a condition caused by ruptured air sacs that allows air to collect in the body cavity. Thankfully, radiographs showed no broken bones!

We're happy to share that the Eagle's recovery has been going well!

With rest, pain management, and continued care, he's made enough progress to move to a larger enclosure. Dr. Magnotti recently checked in on him, and the Houston SPCA's wildlife rehabilitation team will continue monitoring and caring for him until he's ready to return to the wild.

GCVS is grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the Houston SPCA and help this incredible bird on its journey back to the skies! 🦅

The love we share with our pets stays with us forever. 🧡

In honor of October 27, a special day in Día de Mu***os traditions when beloved pets are to return to visit us, our GCVS NASA Parkway team created a beautiful ofrenda to welcome and remember our beloved companions who have crossed the rainbow bridge. 🌼🕯️

As veterinary professionals, we have the privilege of caring for so many beloved pets and forming meaningful connections with their families. This ofrenda is a special way for our team to honor the lives of pets we've loved, cared for, and said goodbye to along the way.

To all the beloved pets who have left paw prints on our hearts, you are forever loved, remembered, and missed.
