✨🎄 We’re feeling extra elf-tastic after Picture Day at Bulger! 🎄✨

Last week, our very own Buddy the Elf stopped by the hospital for some holiday cheer during our Photos with Buddy the Elf event and let’s just say… the smiles were BIG and the spirit was even bigger. 💚❤️

Nothing like a little festive fun to wrap the hospital in joy, laughter, and holiday magic.
Thanks to everyone who helped make picture day so sweet.

Smiling really is our favorite. 🎅📸✨

🐾✨ December is for the Cats at Bulger! ✨🐱

From soft purrs to bold personalities (and those late-night zoomies), December is all about celebrating the cats who rule our hearts and our homes. In honor of National Cat Lovers Month, we want to spotlight your favorite felines.

Join the fun by sharing a photo of your cat in the comments and tell us:
👉 Their name
👉 Their funniest or most lovable quirk
👉 Or what makes them completely unforgettable

Let’s turn our feed into a celebration of whiskers, personality, and plenty of cattitude all month long.

At Bulger Veterinary Hospital, caring for cats and the people who love them is at the heart of what we do. 💛🐾

What Is a Descemetocele?

A descemetocele is one of the most serious eye emergencies we treat. It is a deep corneal ulcer that reaches the very last membrane of the eye and puts the eye at high risk of rupturing.

At Bulger Veterinary Hospital, our Ophthalmology team can treat descemetoceles using advanced surgical options, including corneal transplants, which help preserve vision and comfort when possible.

If your pet is squinting, showing cloudiness, or has sudden eye discomfort, do not wait. Early treatment can save their sight.

👁️ Advanced Corneal Transplants at Bulger Veterinary Hospital

Within Bulger’s Ophthalmology department, Dr. Cassotis and Dr. Tipling are trained to perform advanced corneal transplant procedures that are not commonly offered in the region. This highly specialized procedure can restore clarity, comfort, and vision for animals with severe corneal disease or injury.

While many ophthalmology practices offer conjunctival grafts, which can be effective but often obstruct part of the visual field, corneal transplants preserve the eye’s natural window to vision. This advanced approach helps pets maintain both comfort and sight whenever possible.

Our Ophthalmology team evaluates each patient individually to determine the safest and most successful path forward, whether that means medical management, surgery, or advanced options like transplantation.

This expertise is just one of the ways Dr. Cassotis, Dr. Tipling, and our entire Ophthalmology service provide cutting-edge care for dogs and cats in our community.

If you notice squinting, cloudiness, or changes in your pet’s vision, early evaluation is important.

It’s easy for our pets to get swept up in the delicious smells of the holiday! We know you love to share, and the good news is, there are a few safe (and healthy!) Thanksgiving treats your dogs and cats can enjoy.

Swipe to see our graphic for a quick list of pet-safe foods, remember, they must be plain, unseasoned, and boneless.

🛑 Keep Pets Safe from the Holiday Dangers:
Bones, Fat, and Skin: Cooked bones can splinter; high-fat foods (like skin and gravy) can lead to serious digestive issues like pancreatitis.

Toxic Trimmings: Absolutely NO onions, garlic, grapes/raisins, or xylitol (found in some sugar-free baked goods).

The Trash: Secure your trash! The turkey carcass and foil wrappers are major emergency hazards.

This Thanksgiving, enjoy the day and focus on keeping your furry family members safe. But if an emergency does happen, remember that Bulger Veterinary Hospital in Lawrence is here for you 24/7/365.

Call us immediately if your pet gets into something they shouldn't.

Wishing you all a very happy and safe holiday!

👁️ Did you know your pet’s eyes can help another animal see again?

While it is not widely known, pet eye donation is a meaningful and compassionate way to help restore vision in other animals after your own pet has passed away. Donated corneas can sometimes be used to help pets with severe corneal disease, trauma, or conditions that can lead to blindness.

At Bulger Veterinary Hospital, our Ophthalmology team oversees a corneal donation program to ensure these gifts are handled with dignity, respect, and purpose.

Eye donation can:
• Help another pet regain vision
• Provide comfort and quality of life
• Support advanced ophthalmic care and treatment options
• Honor your pet’s legacy in a life-changing way

If you’d like to learn more about how the donation process works, talk with our Ophthalmology team. We’re always here to answer questions with compassion and clarity.

👁️ November is National Eye Donation Month

At Bulger Veterinary Hospital, our Ophthalmology team is dedicated to preserving and restoring vision for the pets you love. National Eye Donation Month is a meaningful reminder of the importance of ocular health and the advancements made in veterinary ophthalmology.

We also want to gently note that ocular donations are only made from pets who have passed, allowing their legacy to help other animals in need of sight-saving care.

While eye donation programs in animals are different from those in human medicine, this month highlights the incredible impact that corneal health, early diagnosis, and advanced treatment can have on a pet’s quality of life.

Our Ophthalmology service evaluates and treats a wide range of conditions, including:
• Corneal ulcers
• Cataracts
• Glaucoma
• Dry eye
• Retinal disease
• Ocular trauma and infections

Every day, our Ophthalmology team helps pets maintain comfort, sight, and quality of life through compassionate care and state-of-the-art diagnostics.

If you notice squinting, redness, cloudiness, or changes in your pet’s vision, please don’t wait. Early intervention can make a world of difference.
