Piper had been lethargic and eating less for several days before she became too weak to walk. When the 12-year-old arrived at DoveLewis, she was in septic shock. A liver abscess had caused a severe infection in her abdomen, and our team had to prepare her family for the possibility that she wouldn’t survive.

Our surgeons removed the affected liver lobe, then our ICU team cared for her through four difficult days of recovery. She needed antibiotics to fight the infection, medication to support her blood pressure, oxygen to help her breathe, and a feeding tube while she struggled to eat. Recovery wasn’t easy, but our team’s care helped her family get their girl back. ❤️‍🩹

Both of Della’s knees hurt, so she leaned heavily on her front legs to get around and relied on her family to carry her when walking was too much. Our Orthopedic Surgery team found torn ligaments in both knees, and Dr. Dusty Spencer performed surgery to stabilize them so she could move more comfortably. The second clip is Della just two weeks later. Still recovering, but already giving us a lot to smile about. ❤️

When a beloved pet needs veterinary care, worrying about the cost can make an already difficult time even harder. Our Velvet Assistance Fund helps ease that burden for families in our community, and we’re grateful to the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation for a $10,000 Big Bet for Pets Boost Grant to support this work. Thank you, Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation, for helping us be there for pets and the people who love them. 💙

These graduation photos were months in the making. ❤️ Stella Blue came to our Rehabilitation team with left shoulder instability that was causing pain and limiting her movement.

With care from Dr. Jordan McKinney, our rehab team, and her family at home, she made steady progress. Today, she was walking without a limp and ready to graduate! She’s gradually returning to more activity, and her family’s latest update included a little running at the beach with no setbacks. Congratulations, Stella Blue!

There’s a lot happening between “we’ll take good care of them” and “they’re ready to go home.” Medications. Monitoring. Fresh bedding. Finding something a patient will eat. Some very convincing arguments about why they are, in fact, the cutest baby. Our veterinary technicians are there through it all, working alongside our experienced Level 3 Veterinary Assistants to care for patients. This , we’re recognizing these teammates for the knowledge, patience, and heart they bring to every shift. Thank you for the care we see here and so much more we couldn’t fit. 💚

Megan and Sparrow have been waiting all week to hear you read a story for them. Are you ready?

This is Teddi. She weighs about 5 pounds and has a little hardware helping hold her front leg together after she broke it at just 4 months old. Her family brought her straight to our ER after a fall, and Dr. Dusty Spencer repaired the fracture with a plate and screws.

Our orthopedic surgery team helped her through the weeks that followed, including a setback after she tried chasing her sibling before her leg was ready. Another procedure, extra time in a splint, and more healing followed. It took a little longer to get there, but she’s getting around more comfortably now.

We’re very much in favor of Teddi getting to resume her puppy business. ❤️

We’ve been getting updates from Briceson’s family, and he’s purring all day and asking for cuddles. It’s hard to believe this is the same we cared for through respiratory failure and more than 50 hours on a ventilator.

With heart disease and suspected asthma in the picture, we didn’t know how he’d recover. Even after he was breathing on his own again, we watched closely as he slowly became more alert, started eating, and began showing us his affectionate side.

Now he’s back home with his family, doing the little things that mean so much. ❤️

Jimmy is 13 years old, but he still has places to go and people to charm.

Rehabilitation helps support senior like Jimmy by focusing on comfort, mobility, and quality of life. For Jimmy, that includes underwater treadmill therapy, plenty of encouragement, and a team cheering him on the whole way. ✨
