✨ Meet the Team: Kara, Lead Technician 🐾

Kara has been a dedicated part of the veterinary field since 2013 & joined our team here at EPH in 2018. You may recognize her from her time at Marquesa! 💙

As our Lead Tech, Kara has a special passion for the laboratory side of medicine, helping ensure we get timely, accurate results for our patients. She also holds a deeply compassionate focus on making euthanasia as peaceful and comfortable as possible for both pets and their families, providing support when it matters most. 🌈

When she’s off the clock, Kara enjoys diving into video games 🎮, watching anime, and baking up something sweet. At home, she’s kept company by her two cats—Nami (after the One Piece character) and Lulu, her beloved rescue.

We’re grateful to have Kara’s skill, compassion, & dedication as part of our team! 💕

When seconds matter, knowing what to do can make all the difference. 🚨🐾

If your pet has been hit by a car:
• Move them to safety only if it’s safe to do so
• Approach carefully, as pain and fear can cause even the sweetest pets to react unexpectedly
• Keep them as still as possible and minimize movement
• Apply gentle pressure to active bleeding, if present
• Contact a veterinary team right away for guidance and urgent care evaluation

Heat stroke can become fatal FAST. ☀️🐾
Gunnar suffered heat stroke while outside and needed emergency care — thankfully he’s now recovering well. ❤️

Even a short time outdoors can become dangerous in the Florida heat. Always monitor pets closely for excessive panting, weakness, vomiting, collapse, or bright red gums.

Share this post with a friend — it could help save a pet’s life. 💙

Some patients just need their best friend close by. 🐾❤️

These two sweet pups reminded us how powerful companionship can be. One keeping a comforting paw on the other— like they were saying, *“Don’t worry, I’m right here.”* Moments like this are a beautiful reminder that pets form deep bonds and can help ease each other’s anxiety.

Separation anxiety is real for many pets. Though we can't always allow their best friend to stay by their side, our ER team works hard to keep patients as calm and comfortable as possible while providing the care they need. 💙

If your pet ever needs urgent care, we’re here for them — and for you. 🏥

🩻 Clear Images, Confident Care 🐾

At Emergency Pet Hospital, we use veterinary radiology (X-rays) to gather valuable information about your pet’s health — all in a safe, noninvasive way. 💙

Radiographs help us assess your pet’s:
🦴 Bones and joints
🍖 Gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines, colon)
💨 Respiratory tract (lungs)
❤️ Heart health
🚻 Genitourinary system (bladder, prostate)

When your pet is radiographed, an X-ray beam passes through their body and creates an image in shades of gray
⚪ Bones absorb more X-rays and appear lighter
⚫ Soft tissues like lungs absorb fewer and appear darker

Each image tells us a story about what’s happening inside your furry friend. Interpreting these radiographs requires training, precision, and care — and our experienced veterinarians are here to ensure every detail is reviewed with expert eyes. 👀🐶🐱

✨ If your pet isn’t feeling their best or needs diagnostic imaging, come in right away — our team is here to uncover answers and guide you toward the best care possible. 💞
