🐾 Lucy’s Lucky Escape! 🐾

Two-year-old Labradoodle Lucy got herself into a little trouble when she decided to eat an entire box of Ice Breakers gum containing xylitol — a highly toxic substance for dogs that can cause dangerously low blood sugar and potentially severe liver damage or failure.

Lucy was hospitalized with our team for several days, receiving IV fluids and supportive care while we closely monitored her recovery. ❤️‍🩹

And through it all? Lucy remained the happiest girl! 🥰🐶

Thankfully, Lucy responded beautifully to treatment and was able to head home with her family. She’s now doing well and back to being her happy, playful self! 💕🎉

🚨 Pet parents, remember: Xylitol can be extremely dangerous to dogs and is found in some sugar-free gum, candies, baked goods, toothpaste, and other products. If your pet gets into something containing xylitol, contact your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital immediately.

We’re so happy to see this sweet girl on the road to recovery! 🐾💗

Henry’s Road to Recovery 🐾❤️

Henry, a sweet four-year-old Poodle mix, came to PERC after experiencing vomiting and diarrhea. He remained with us for several days in our ICU, where he received IV fluid therapy, medication support, and close monitoring around the clock.

During his stay, Henry was also evaluated by our Internal Medicine team and underwent an ultrasound to help determine the cause of his gastrointestinal illness.

His diarrhea PCR ultimately came back positive for Clostridium perfringens, specifically the CP E/F toxin. This toxin is associated with gastrointestinal signs, including diarrhea and, in some cases, hemorrhagic diarrhea—consistent with Henry’s clinical presentation and timeline.

Thankfully, after several days of dedicated care from our ICU and Internal Medicine teams, Henry was feeling much better and ready to head home! 🥰

These photos say it all—Henry reuniting with his family, happy as can be and finally back where he belongs. ❤️🐶

We’re so happy to see you feeling better, Henry! 🐾✨

🌟Employee of the Month: Alex!!🌟

Please join us in congratulating Alex as our Employee of the Month!

Alex is a hardworking and dedicated member of the PERC team who has continued to grow and evolve throughout her time here. Her commitment to learning, improving, and stepping up in new ways has not gone unnoticed, and she continues to make a positive impact on those around her.

From holiday decorations to potlucks, hide-and-seek events, and other team-building moments, Alex consistently goes above and beyond to create a fun and welcoming environment. She also worked hard to set up a station for the engagement survey that allowed team members to participate while maintaining anonymity, showing her thoughtfulness and respect for the team’s comfort and trust.

There is no greater compliment than earning the trust of a family during one of the hardest moments of their lives. ❤️

Sweet Yuta came to PERC when she needed critical, life-saving care. She’s back home, recovering beautifully, and on her way to being her happy, spirited self again.

We’re incredibly grateful to Yuta’s family for sharing these kind words about their experience. From Dr. Amy Trow and Dr. Thomas, to critical care nurse Noal (who finally won Yuta over with a homemade chicken dinner! 🍗), and every member of our reception, technician, assistant, and nursing teams—this is why we do what we do.

Knowing that our clients feel supported, informed, and cared for throughout their pet’s journey means everything to us.

Thank you for trusting us with Yuta’s care and for allowing us to be part of her story. Wishing this sweet girl a continued speedy recovery! 💙🐾

“When you leave your pet at PERC, you can rest assured they are in the best possible hands.”

Reviews like this remind us that exceptional medicine is only part of what we provide—compassion, communication, and treating every patient like family are at the heart of everything we do.

🐾 A Corny Situation with a Happy Outcome! 🌽❤️

Meet Chase, an 11-year-old Cairn Terrier who came to PERC after ingesting a corn cob—a common household item that can quickly become a life-threatening emergency for our canine companions.

Thanks to the incredible collaboration and expertise of our Internal Medicine team, Chase underwent an endoscopic procedure to remove the obstruction. he procedure successfully removed the majority of the corn cob, helping him avoid a major abdominal surgery.

This case is a wonderful example of how advanced, minimally invasive procedures can make a tremendous difference for our patients—reducing pain, shortening recovery time, and often eliminating the need for more invasive surgery.

Way to go to our talented Internal Medicine team for giving Chase the best possible outcome! We wish this sweet boy a smooth and speedy recovery. 💙🐶

Meet Hank, a 2-month-old Australian Cattle Dog who found himself in an emergency situation less than 48 hours after joining his new family.

When Hank began showing signs that he wasn't feeling well, his new owners acted quickly and sought emergency veterinary care right away. Their attentiveness may have saved his life.

After evaluation, Hank was diagnosed with an intussusception, a serious condition where one portion of the intestine telescopes into another section of intestine. This causes a blockage that prevents food and fluids from passing normally and can cut off blood supply to the affected tissue. Without prompt treatment, the condition can quickly become life-threatening.

Hank was taken into emergency surgery to correct the problem, and thanks to the quick actions of his owners and our medical team, he is now on the road to recovery.

We're so proud of this little guy and grateful for owners who recognized that something wasn't right and acted immediately. Early intervention can make all the difference!
Way to go, Hank!

🔬 Advanced Veterinary Surgery Has Arrived! 🐾

We’re excited to offer laparoscopic surgery, bringing the latest in minimally invasive technology to our patients!

✨ Benefits of laparoscopic surgery include:
• Smaller incisions
• Less pain and discomfort after surgery
• Reduced bleeding during procedures
• Lower risk of infection
• Faster recovery times
• Minimal scarring
• Shorter hospital stays
• Quicker return to normal activity

Whether your pet requires a routine procedure, such as a spay, or another surgery that can be performed laparoscopically, this advanced technology helps us provide safer, more comfortable care with an easier recovery.

At PERC, we are committed to investing in cutting-edge technology to ensure the highest level of care for every patient. Our new laparoscopic equipment is just one more way we’re continuing to advance veterinary medicine and improve outcomes for the pets we love.
