We had an absolute BLAST keeping pets cool and safe at Lakewood SummerFest today! From splashy pool parties to heatstroke prevention tips, our emergency pet tent was the place to be for pups beating the Pacific Northwest heat. 💦🐶

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi, hydrate their hounds, and let their dogs take a dip! It was an honor to be the on-site emergency veterinary team, keeping tails wagging and noses wet. 💚

Remember: summer fun is better when it’s safe. Even here in the PNW, heatstroke is no joke, watch for signs like excessive panting, lethargy, or drooling, and always keep fresh water handy. 🐕‍🦺

🌿 Building Community, Saving Lives 🐾
At Old Growth, we’re dedicated to serving the incredible people—and animals—that make our community stronger. Today, we hosted a special first aid training session for the amazing canine search and rescue handlers serving Pierce and Thurston counties, bringing together hospital owners, technicians, and clinicians to share vital skills.
A huge thank you to German Shepherd Search Dogs for being the most engaged audience and to Paws For Reading for providing wonderful therapy dogs who helped demonstrate bandaging techniques!
Here’s to teamwork, learning, and making a difference—one paw at a time. 🩹🐶💙

Meet Super Charlie, the cutest little hero on four paws! 🐾💥 There is even a cartoon of him suited up as a superhero—and honestly, it couldn’t be more accurate. 💚🦸‍♂️

Charlie first came to see us in May when he wasn’t feeling like his usual spunky self—he had some tummy trouble (diarrhea and not eating 😢) and had to spend time in our ICU. With lots of TLC, supportive care, and his superhero strength, he bounced back like a champ! 💪🐶

But every great superhero faces a sequel… When Charlie started showing similar symptoms again, we did some deeper detective work—this time with advanced diagnostics, including endoscopy, plus another round of hospitalization for supportive care.

Thanks to his amazing resilience (and a fantastic veterinary team!), Charlie is back on the road to feeling better! 🌟💚 We’re so proud of this brave little fighter—he's truly a Super Dog inside and out!

Check out his superhero cartoon—it’s guaranteed to melt your heart. 🥹💥

At Old Growth, we understand that pet emergencies affect the whole family — especially the little ones. That’s why we’ve created a special children’s area designed to keep young minds busy and creative while their furry friend receives expert care. 🧸🐶🐱

This new space is part of our mission to bring compassion and connection back to emergency veterinary care. We hope it offers families a bit of comfort and support during what can be a very stressful time. ❤️

Did you know that OGVECC provides a variety of extracorporeal therapies, including hemodialysis, therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), and hemoperfusion??

Fjell, who's name means mountain 🗻, found herself in need of TPE when her body produced an overzealous immune reaction, causing the self-destruction of her red blood cells 🩸. TPE treatment aids in the removal of the trouble making immune complexes from the blood stream, calming the destruction of cells, while immunosuppressive medications can reach their peak effect in the body.

Fjell was hospitalized with us for several days, during which she received multiple blood transfusions, 4 TPE sessions, and numerous other supportive care measures.

After 8 days, Fjell was discharged, and we are thrilled to report that her anemia is nearly completely resolved! We are wishing Fjell a lifetime of adventures! 🐶🏔️

"Id like to check in for my emergency visit please." 🏥

Zeek is a head turner, a people pleaser and Mr. Steal Your Girl😏😘. Zeek came into the hospital for lethargy and a limp and left with several new girlfriends and likely a hidden pocket full of phone numbers!

Who could resist this face!? We hope you feel better soon, Zeek! ♥️🐶

Buddy may be a youngster, but he’s already up to shenanigans! When Buddy’s owner found him with a metal needle 🪡 in his mouth, she tried her best to get it back. Unfortunately, Buddy was able to hide the evidence quickly, by swallowing it. Thankfully, our doctors were able to retrieve it safely and minimally invasively, with the use of an endoscope. This spared Buddy from potential surgery, and his owner from a 72 hour p**p watch! 💩🫢
Buddy was a lucky boy, and made a full recovery. We are hopeful that he will grow out of his criminal tendencies, but we will be here whenever he needs to be bailed out! 👮‍♀️

Ms. Gemma came to visit with us yesterday, and stole some hearts in preparation for Valentines day! ♥️

Gemma had some recent diet changes that left her tummy in a most unfortunate state. Thankfully her symptoms didn't seem to slow her down. She was all wiggles and kisses for our staff!

Thanks for visiting being the cutest, Gemma! 🐶
