(535)

Your family veterinarian and Advanced Veterinary Care (AVC) are here to help. AVC is a specialty referral practice providing sophisticated emergency and critical care, trauma management, surgery, internal medicine, and referral services. Quality medical care begins with your family veterinarian. From time to time, your doctor may ask AVC to be a part of the medical team which cares for your pet, a

nd they will refer you to AVC. By referring you to us when your pet is ill or injured, your doctor demonstrates confidence in our ability to help you through a difficult and emotional time. AVC is always available to you for emergencies at those times your family veterinarian is closed. Should you ever find yourself in need of emergency services, you may walk into AVC at any time, day or night, without an appointment. We understand the worry and stress that can result from your pet’s illness or injury, and we will do our very best to ensure that you both are provided with the compassion and quality care you deserve.

🐈‍⬛Say hello to El! 🌟🌈

El is one of our amazing client service representatives here at AVC—and she’s truly a gem! Always ready with a kind word and a helpful hand, El brings warmth and heart to every interaction.

A lifelong animal lover, El has always dreamed of working with animals and is currently working toward becoming a veterinary technician. Her ultimate goal: Wildlife rehabilitation, and one day joining the incredible team at the Bat Conservation Center in Texas!

She shares her home with a pack of love: four cats (Thackery, Mothman, Fievel, and Otrera) and one sweet pup, Eula. And if you ever spot her on break, there’s a good chance she has a book in hand—El’s a total bookworm and always has a story nearby.

We’re so lucky to have El on our team, her empathy, care, and compassion inspire us every day. Drop her some love in the comments!

🥦🍉Meet Carmen! 🌽🍎

If you’ve ever called or walked through the doors at AVC, chances are you’ve been greeted by Carmen’s friendly face or upbeat voice! She’s one of our incredible client service team members—and we couldn’t do what we do without her.

Fun facts: Carmen adores Boston Terriers and has an energetic little sidekick named Finn who keeps her on her toes! When she’s not helping clients, you’ll find her hiking a trail, casting a fly on the Green River, or digging in her garden. She’s been a vegetarian for 25 years and loves whipping up healthy meals from her homegrown veggies.

Please help us give Carmen a BIG thank you for everything she does to keep things running smoothly and make every client feel cared for. We’re so lucky to have her as part of the AVC family!

🐾Meet Pongo🐾
This spotted sweetheart came in for a CADET BRAF test, a specialized screening used to detect Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC), one of the most common types of bladder cancer in dogs.

The process is simple but powerful: after Pongo gave us a urine sample, thanks for the teamwork, buddy😉,we sent it to a specialized lab where they look for abnormal transitional cells under the microscope. Early detection is key, and this test helps us catch potential problems before symptoms even start.

If a test ever comes back positive, we’re proud to have Dr. Kath Tsimbas and our compassionate oncology team ready to step in with expert care and treatment options tailored to each patient.

🖤At AVC, we’re here for every step of your pet’s journey, from diagnostics to treatment and beyond.

When Regret Hits Like a Freight Train…

This sweet pug made a very poor life choice and snacked on some medication that could’ve seriously hurt his liver and kidneys. Cue the emergency vet team!

First came the IV meds to induce vomiting — and boy, did it work (projectile style). Then, to really add insult to injury, we had to give him activated charcoal to soak up any lingering toxins in his belly and sub-q fluids to help rehydrate him. He was not a fan.

This was the face he gave us after everything… sad, betrayed, bewildered, but still absolutely adorable.

Don’t worry — he got lots of love, anti nausea medication (and treats) once the drama was over. Big reminder: keep all meds safely out of paw’s reach!

Meet Moe — a lovable big guy with a taste for trouble! He managed to sneak off with a squeaker toy and swallow it whole, prompting a quick trip to see us.

Our team first tried to induce vomiting, but no luck — just some well-digested dinner, no foreign material. We moved on to an upper GI endoscopy and were able to grasp the squeaker with our Ratigator forceps… but it was too large to safely pass through the esophageal sphincter.

So, Moe took a quick detour to surgery for a gastrotomy, where we successfully removed a stuffed animal yeti from his stomach (yep, a whole yeti!). Surgery went smoothly, and Moe handled it like a champ. He was up, eating, and howling away in ICU like nothing ever happened!

A big thank you to Moe’s awesome family for acting fast and to our incredible ER team for their thorough and timely care. Moe’s on the mend — and hopefully staying away from squeaky yetis in the future!
