🐾 PASE Pet Story: Luna’s Incredible Recovery 💙

Meet Luna, a 10-year-old Husky who came through PASE’s Emergency Department after her family discovered something alarming - a skewer was protruding through her abdominal wall.

X-rays raised serious concerns that the skewer had damaged multiple internal organs, and Luna was quickly taken into emergency surgery.

During surgery, our team discovered just how incredible Luna’s case was. The skewer had been swallowed, traveled through her stomach wall, penetrated her liver and spleen, and eventually exited through her body wall.

Our surgical team carefully removed the skewer, cleaned and repaired the small opening in Luna’s stomach, and addressed her injuries.

And Luna? She proved just how tough Huskies can be!
She recovered remarkably quickly following surgery and went on to make a complete recovery!

We’re so happy to see Luna back where she belongs and grateful to our Emergency and Surgery teams for being there when she needed them most.

Way to go, Luna! 🐾

Daylight saving time ended this weekend, and your pet’s internal clock may need a little help catching up.

Our team’s tips for an easy transition:

Shift meals, walks, and bedtime 10–15 minutes later each day until you reach the new schedule

If your dog is hungry early, offer a small portion at the old mealtime and the rest later

Keep potty breaks on their usual internal schedule for the first day to prevent accidents

Puzzle toys and an evening walk help restless pets settle

Is your pet on time-sensitive medication such as insulin or seizure medication?
Please call us before shifting doses by a full hour. We’re happy to help you plan the adjustment.

Most pets adjust within a few days to a week. If your pet seems unusually anxious or unsettled, reach out to us!

Keep Halloween Fun & Safe for Your Pets! 🐾 🎃

Halloween is full of spooky fun, but we want to make sure your furry family members stay safe!
Some helpful tips for this Halloween:

Keep candy & chocolate out of reach - many Halloween treats can be toxic to pets.

Keep pets secure when opening doors - frequent visitors can increase the risk of your pet slipping outside.

Choose safe, comfortable costumes - make sure costumes fit properly and don’t restrict movement, breathing, or vision.

Keep pets away from candles, cords, & decorations - curious paws and noses can get into trouble!

Provide a quiet, safe space - help your pet relax away from the Halloween hustle and bustle.

Update ID tags & microchip information - just in case your pet makes an unexpected escape!

From all of us at NorthStar VETS & PASE, have a happy, healthy, & safe Halloween!
Trick or Treat (with lots of treats!) 🧡

At PASE, investing in our team means investing in better patient care!

We believe supporting our team goes beyond continuing education and professional development. It also means creating opportunities to strengthen communication, build trust, and grow together!

Recently, several PASE team members traveled to Long Island, NY, to participate in a TeamSTEPPS Master Training Workshop, officially becoming TeamSTEPPS Master Trainers!

TeamSTEPPS is an evidence-based program designed to improve communication, collaboration, teamwork, and patient safety.

In the fast-paced world of veterinary medicine, exceptional patient care takes an entire team working together. Our newly certified Master Trainers will bring these valuable tools back to PASE to help strengthen our hospital culture and enhance the care we provide.

We're so proud of our team members for taking this next step!

Because at PASE, when we invest in our people, we're investing in the patients and families who trust us with their care.

Important update for our pet parents: Wedgewood Pharmacy Recall

Wedgewood, a compounding pharmacy that supplies some of the medications we prescribe, has initiated a voluntary recall of certain products. This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. FDA.

According to Wedgewood, their own quality processes identified inconsistencies in certain analytical testing data. They report no increase in complaints or adverse events associated with the affected products to date, but they chose to recall them as a precaution.

Here’s what you need to know:

No action is needed unless you receive an official Recall Notice or your pet is taking an affected medication.

Please don’t stop or change your pet’s medication on your own. Call us first, and we’ll talk through the next steps and any appropriate alternatives together.

You can check a specific product, SKU, or lot number at www.wedgewood.com/recall-lookup

Wedgewood’s Recall Support line for pet owners is 866-562-5931 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–9 PM ET, Sat 9 AM–5 PM ET)

We know news like this can be worrying. Your pet’s care is our top priority, and our team is here to answer your questions. Give us a call at 267-727-3738
