🩺 You never know what you’re going to find at a vet hospital… Sometimes it’s a cute puppy… sometimes it’s an eyeball just casually hanging out on the counter 👀💀 (Don’t worry, it’s not from a human… or a staff member!)

🐾 Patient Spotlight: Queenie 🐾

This brave girl had quite the scare recently after getting cut by a hog, suffering a serious injury under her neck that nicked her jugular vein. Time was critical — and thanks to her quick-thinking family and our dedicated team, Queenie made it to the hospital just in time.

We were able to stop the bleeding and stabilize her, but she needed a little extra help… That’s when our hospital hero Doug stepped in! Doug, one of our amazing technician’s dogs, became a lifesaving blood donor for Queenie. 🩸🐶 He was such a good boy throughout the whole process! We made sure to give him a few extra licks of peanut butter!!

After receiving a much-needed transfusion and plenty of rest, Queenie is now home and on the road to recovery. 💕🐕 We’re so proud of her strength and grateful for Doug’s generosity.

Please join us in sending Queenie lots of love as she continues to heal! 💪💛

🌟 Brave Ella’s Journey 🌟

Ella, a sweet and energetic 3-year-old pup, came to us after her family noticed she was having trouble walking on her right back leg. After performing radiographs, we found something no one wants to hear — a form of bone cancer was the cause.

After careful discussion with her loving family, we made the decision that gave Ella the best chance at a healthy life: amputation of the affected leg.

While the road to recovery wasn’t easy, Ella tackled it with courage (and a wagging tail). 🐾💛

We’re thrilled to share that Ella is now pain-free, full of energy, and back to doing what she loves most — running, playing, and keeping up with her furry housemates like nothing ever happened. She may have three legs, but she has a heart big enough for four. 💕
