Molly is 24 hours out from having both knees stabilized (TPLO repair with locking plates) after tearing her ACLs. Both knees also had a torn meniscus.

Her parents sent us this photo today. She's up and walking already! She is wearing Lick Sleeves to cover the incisions rather than needing a cone. And what a beautiful backdrop she has. Happy Holidays from Molly and CLVS!

Pancreatic cancer sucks. Even in dogs. Average lifespan is just a single day after diagnosis. But Asher had a large tumor removed from his pancreas about a month ago, requiring removal of some of his intestine as well. While he still gets tired, he’s back to being playful and feeling so much better!

Daphne is a 2 year old sweet girl that developed chest wall (rib) cancer. Today we removed a section of ribs to remove the tumor (visible as a bump in the shaved area here). Graphic video of the open chest once the section was removed in the comments. Photo of reconstructed chest before the muscle and skin were closed as well. The pink lungs can be seen inflating. The diaphragm is directly below the lungs.

ETA: The tumor biopsy showed that the mass was completely removed with great margins (no tumor likely left behind locally)! Unfortunately, the type of tumor is a primary bone tumor called osteosarcoma, which is very rare in this location. Osteosarcoma is a tumor that commonly spreads to other parts of the body. We are so happy that Daphne is still feeling fantastic, and hope she stays healthy for a long time!

This sweet old lady is Ally. We saw her a year ago, with a chronic Achilles tendon tear. Her repair came with significant risk of failure with her age and the length of time since the injury. Here she is at 13 1/2 years of age, 12 months out of surgery, and living her best life on the lake!

Vera could not walk this past fall. She had torn her left and right ACLs at the same time and needed help. We repaired both of them at the same time. Here she is playing with her buddy, happy and carefree!
