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.

💛 Ollie’s Journey: From Critical Trauma to a New Leash on Life 🐾

In March, sweet Ollie was brought to AVC after being hit by a car going 35mph. What followed was a rollercoaster of emotion, resilience, and love.
He arrived in critical condition, unable to walk on his front limbs, with signs of head trauma and multiple concerns for polytrauma. His left forelimb had a severe degloving injury that exposed muscle, tendon, and joint structures, with lateral carpal instability and no deep pain or withdrawal reflexes, and possible nerve damage that left him unable to walk. Our team quickly jumped into action; managing shock, monitoring for brain and spinal injuries, stabilizing his wounds, and giving him every chance to heal.

Through weeks of hospitalization, bandage changes, physical evaluations, and a whole lot of TLC, Ollie fought hard. Slowly, his hindlimb paralysis resolved. His pain improved. But despite all the progress, his left forelimb never regained function. Despite extensive conservative management, including splinting and supportive bandaging, his limb offered no functional value and was beginning to hinder his mobility.

In May, two months after his accident, Ollie bravely returned for amputation of his non-functional limb. Thanks to the surgical expertise of Dr. Cichocki and our devoted team, the procedure went beautifully and his recovery was swift. At his two-week recheck, Ollie was not just healing, he was thriving. Cleared for normal activity, he’s back to enjoying life pain-free.

Ollie’s progress is nothing short of incredible. Thanks to a committed family, compassionate care, and the expertise of our ER and surgery teams, he’s now thriving, happier, healthier, and moving forward with strength. We’re so proud to have been part of his journey.

To Ollie’s incredible family thank you. Your love and commitment made all the difference. To our surgery and ER teams, you made a miracle happen. Ollie is proof that healing is more than physical, it’s a story of courage, care & second chances!

🌈🐾✨June is Pride Month, and we’re turning up the volume on love, inclusivity, and unapologetic authenticity.

At Thrive, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with open hearts and arms; everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and fabulous exactly as they are. This month—and all year long—we focus on the inclusivity of LGBTQ+ Thrivers and honor the magic that happens when we all show up as our true selves. 🌈🐾✨

A Proud History
Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, a pivotal moment that ignited the gay liberation movement in the United States. An official Pride march took place in New York City on June 28, 1970, marking the first anniversary of this historic event.

Pride Month promotes visibility and acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community. Despite progress, some LGBTQ+ individuals struggle with feeling accepted in the workplace, still today.

A Proud (and Colorful) Display 🏳️‍🌈
Each color in the original Pride rainbow flag represented the spirit of the community:

🌙 Meet Dr. Tea Gluhak – Our Overnight ER Powerhouse 🌙

If you’ve ever had a pet in crisis during the overnight hours at AVC, chances are you’ve been helped by the incredible Dr. Tea Gluhak. A cornerstone of our emergency team, Dr. Gluhak has spent several years bringing confidence and life-saving expertise to our overnight ER.

Originally from Croatia, Dr. Gluhak moved to the U.S. at age 10 and later graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2013 with a DVM and a strong passion for emergency medicine and surgery.⁣

Don’t let her small stature fool you, Dr. Gluhak brings a huge personality, a sharp clinical mind, and a fierce dedication to every shift. When she’s not performing emergency surgeries or stabilizing critical patients, you’ll find her Olympic weightlifting, paddleboarding, hiking, biking, crafting ceramics, or surrounded by her jungle of houseplants and books.⁣

She shares her life with four dogs (Atlas - Rhodesian Ridgeback, Aurora - Labrador Retriever, Hercules - Maltipoo, Luna - Labrador mix), one sassy Maine C**n cat (Lyra); all of which she rescued. Besides her furry family and a love for adventure, she has a brother in Colorado, but otherwise, she’s fully committed to her wild, fulfilling, beautifully chaotic life; and not currently accepting applications 😉

We’re so lucky Dr. Gluhak calls AVC home. Her experience, know how, and presence make a huge impact on our patients, clients, and team every single night. 💙🌌🐾

☀️Summer Heat is Here & It Can Be Deadly for Pets! 🥵

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of heat stroke in pets.🐈‍⬛

Dogs can overheat in minutes, especially brachycephalic breeds (like bulldogs and pugs), seniors, puppies, and pets with thick coats or medical conditions.🐶

Know the signs:
• Excessive panting or drooling
• Lethargy or collapse
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Bright red or pale gums
• Seizures

What to do:
Move your pet to a cool area, offer water, and call AVC immediately-heat stroke is a medical emergency!

Prevent it:
• Never leave pets in a car
• Limit exercise during the heat of the day
• Provide shade and plenty of water
• Know your pet’s risk factors

We’re here 24/7 to help-don’t wait if you’re concerned. Heat stroke can’t wait.💦♨️

OVERNIGHT HERO SPOTLIGHT: Dr. Tara Erickson 🌙

When most of us are sleeping, Dr. Tara Erickson is hard at work saving lives in our ER. Originally from Michigan, Tara’s journey to veterinary medicine started with a study abroad program in Northern Ireland and culminated in graduating from Michigan State University, a top five school; on in-state tuition, no less! 🧠💪

She’s a night owl with a heart for horses (especially hardworking quarter horses 🐴), and her experience spans trail riding, dressage, and western shows. Whether it’s hiking a mountain trail or taking charge in the trauma bay, Tara’s got grit, grace, and just the right amount of sarcasm, which we like to say is her official love language.💋

At home, she’s the queen of a joyful, chaotic crew: 🐶 R***r the Aussie, 🐶 Ruby the RedBone C**nhound, 🐱 Bug & Birdie the Highland Lynx cats, and of course, her beloved horses. 👩‍🌾🌻 When she’s not saving pets, she’s gardening, horseback riding, or soaking in the great outdoors with her awesome family.

Tara met her husband, an Utah native, on the soccer field (defense/midfield, naturally), and 10.5 years later, they’re still going strong and raising the cutest kids ever.

We’re beyond lucky to have Dr. Tara Erickson on our ER team. She’s not just an incredible doctor, she’s an amazing friend, teammate, and human being. 💙

🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, We Remember and Honor ❤️🤍💙

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and we also recognize the silent heroes who stood beside them: military working dogs and veteran service animals.🐶

These loyal companions have saved countless lives on the battlefield, detected danger before it struck, and offered unwavering comfort in times of fear and uncertainty.

🎖️ But their mission doesn’t end with deployment.

For many veterans, the battle continues at home, coping with PTSD, anxiety, or physical challenges. Service animals become lifelines, helping veterans navigate everyday life with dignity, independence, and hope. These incredible animals provide emotional support, assist with mobility, and even detect signs of distress before they escalate.

🐾 At Advanced Veterinary Care, we understand how important these animals are to our heroes. As a 24/7 Specialty & Emergency Hospital, we’re honored to support the service animals and military working dogs who’ve served alongside our veterans, providing advanced care when it matters most.

This Memorial Day, we invite you to join us in honoring all who’ve served, two-legged and four.

💙 If you know a veteran with a service animal, thank them. Support them. And remind them that we’re here, 24/7, whenever they need us.
