Happy Halloween from IndyVet!

Wishing all our furry friends and their families a fun, safe, and SPOOK-tacular Halloween! Whether your pets are dressing up in their favorite costumes or handing out treats from the comfort of the couch, we hope your night is full of fun!

A friendly reminder: Keep the Halloween candy away from your pets! Chocolate, sugar-free candy containing xylitol, and other treats can be dangerous or even life-threatening for our furry friends. Candy wrappers can also cause problems if swallowed.

If your pet gets into candy or another potentially toxic treat, don't wait for symptoms to appear. Contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital right away.

Have a safe and happy Halloween from all of us at IndyVet!

Meet Griffin, a handsome 10-year-old Golden Retriever!

Griffin came to IndyVet Emergency after becoming lethargic, refusing to eat, and not wanting to walk. Dr. Casares determined that Griffin had a hemoabdomen, meaning blood had accumulated in his abdominal cavity, with concern for an underlying splenic tumor.

Griffin needed emergency surgery, and Dr. Kloft, Sarah (OR nurse), and Kendall (anesthesia technician) worked together to perform a splenectomy, or removal of the spleen, along with liver biopsies.

Thankfully, Griffin recovered well from surgery and was able to go home to continue healing with his family! He recently returned for an incision evaluation, where he was found to be healing beautifully and ready to return to his normal daily activities.

And the best news of all? Griffin’s splenic tumor was benign!

We’re so happy this sweet boy is doing well and back on his paws. A huge thank-you to our Emergency, Surgery, and Anesthesia teams for working together to care for Griffin!

Keep enjoying those Golden Retriever days, Griffin!

One of our amazing overnight ER doctors, Dr. Newquist, recently spent some rare downtime discussing fascinating real-world cases with two of our veterinary student externs.

Reviewing past cases helps students recognize common emergency presentations, build diagnostic and treatment plans, and gain confidence in a low-pressure learning environment. The best part? Learning goes both ways. Our students often bring fresh perspectives and thoughtful insights that spark great conversations and new ways of thinking.

Meet Cash!

This sweet pup came to IndyVet Surgery for a consultation due to an elongated soft palate and stenotic nares, conditions commonly associated with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS).

BOAS affects flat-faced breeds, such as French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, and Pugs, and can make it difficult for them to breathe comfortably. While snoring and noisy breathing are often considered normal for these breeds, they can actually be signs of an underlying airway problem!

After his consultation, this pup underwent surgery to help improve his airflow and recovered well. At home, his family reported that he was snoring less and breathing much more comfortably!

Did you know early evaluation can make a difference? Although BOAS is related to the anatomy of brachycephalic breeds and cannot be entirely prevented, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding overheating, and limiting strenuous exercise in hot or humid weather can help reduce breathing stress. If your pet snores loudly, struggles to breathe, tires easily, or has difficulty tolerating exercise or heat, a veterinary evaluation is important. A surgical consultation can help determine whether procedures to improve airflow may benefit your pet.

We’re so happy this little guy is breathing easier and feeling better!

Meet the Doctor: Dr. Nina Fischer

Dr. Fischer completed her small animal rotating internship at IndyVet and loved it so much that she stayed on to join our Emergency doctor team! As an emergency veterinarian, Dr. Nina Fischer is passionate about educating pet owners and helping patients maintain the best quality of life possible.

Gale’s Amazing Recovery!

When Gale was adopted in October 2025, her family had no idea just how much their lives would change with this sweet girl. But last June, Gale became very sick and was rushed to IndyVet, where she was diagnosed with FIP (feline infectious peritonitis). She was critically ill, and her family feared the worst.

Thanks to the quick action and care of our team, Gale made an incredible recovery! Today, she’s back to being the sweet, goofy kitty her family knows and loves.

Her family shared these heartfelt words with us:

“Without you all, she would have died. You saved her! She has made a full recovery and continues to be a sweet and goofy kitty. We love her so much. Thank you for your quick actions and expertise! We love IndyVet!”

Stories like Gale’s remind us why we do what we do. We’re so grateful her family trusted us with her care, and we couldn’t be happier to hear that she’s thriving!

Keep being your goofy self, Gale! We’re so happy you’re home and feeling better!

Meet the Doctor: Dr. Kylie Roman

Dr. Kylie Roman was born and raised just outside of Indianapolis. She earned her undergraduate degrees from Indiana University where she began working as a veterinary assistant and discovered her passion for veterinary medicine.

Before veterinary school, Dr. Roman and her husband, Tyler, moved to northern Minnesota for his job. She was later accepted to Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, beginning a four-year adventure of long-distance marriage while pursuing her dream. During her clinical year, she developed a special interest in both emergency medicine and internal medicine. She went on to complete a small animal rotating internship at the University of Minnesota before returning home to Indiana to join the IndyVet team!

Outside of work, Dr. Roman enjoys spending time with her husband, son, and sweet-but-sassy Australian Cattle Dog/Coonhound mix, Eleanor. She also loves reading, hiking, video games, attending Pacers games, exploring local Indy festivals, and enjoying good food with family and friends.

We’re so happy Dr. Roman is back home and part of the IndyVet family!
