Meet Shug (like "Sugar"), a 12yr old male/neutered Domestic Short Hair. Shug went to VCA West Coast Specialty and Emergency Animal Hospital's Neurology team after his family noticed progressive weakness in his back legs. What started as a stiff left hind leg gradually affected both legs over the course of several weeks, until he could no longer stand on his own.
An MRI revealed a spinal meningioma, a benign tumor arising from the tissues surrounding the spinal cord. Surgical intervention was recommended as the treatment of choice in hopes to improve his current neurologic deficits and to stop further worsening in the near future. The Neurology team performed surgery to remove the mass with a dorsal laminectomy.
Just four weeks later, Shug returned for his recheck with an incredible transformation. He was running, jumping, and back to being his normal self. He showed no signs of pain and only slight incoordination. He is once again enjoying time exploring his favorite spots in the backyard.

We couldn’t be happier to see this handsome boy back on all four paws! Let's show Shug some love in the comments with 😻😻😻

On Wednesdays, Dr. Joseph Masciana, DVM, DACVECC, wears pink 💗

Dr. Masciana is a Veterinary Specialist in Emergency & Critical Care and the Intern Director at VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital. His teaching style starts with trust: giving the team opportunities to think through cases, ask questions, and build confidence while knowing support is there when they need it.

It’s an approach that reflects how we think about learning at VCA. Our veterinary mentorship and veterinary internship programs combine hands-on clinical experience with guidance from experienced veterinary professionals, creating opportunities to learn, practice, and grow every day.

Developing great veterinarians takes more than teaching medicine. It takes people like Dr. Masciana who are invested in helping others become the doctors they want to be.

🌸 Easter Reminder for Cat Parents 🌸
Lilies may be beautiful, but they are extremely toxic to cat - even small exposures to pollen or a single petal can cause life-threatening kidney failure.
With Easter this weekend, please keep lilies out of homes with cats and double-check any bouquets before bringing them inside.
If you think your cat has been exposed, don’t wait—seek veterinary care immediately.
Share this to help keep kitties safe 💛🐾

🌞 Sunshine is here, the temps are mild, and the squirrels are plotting…
Which means fleas and ticks are officially clocking in too. 🕷️🐾
If your pet is living their best outdoor life lately, make sure they’re protected. We’ve been seeing an uptick in flea & tick visits — don’t let your pet become the snack.
Get them covered!
