🐾 SHE-RA IS READY FOR HER NEXT CHAPTER! 🐾

Our sweet parvo warrior, She-ra, has officially beaten the hardest part of her battle and is now looking for a foster or forever home! 💜

This brave little girl has come such a long way. She went from fighting for her life to wagging her tail, giving kisses, and reminding us every day just how resilient puppies can be.

While She-ra is feeling great, there’s one important thing her future family needs to know:

🦠 She will continue to shed the parvovirus in her stool for several weeks after recovery. Veterinary experts, including the AVMA, ASPCA, HSUS, and CDC, recommend taking extra precautions for the next 2-3 months to protect other dogs.

What does that mean?
🐶 She should NOT visit dog parks, pet stores, grooming salons, daycare, boarding facilities, or any place where unvaccinated dogs may be.
🏡 Ideally, she should be the only dog in the home, or live with dogs that are fully vaccinated and up to date on their vaccines.
🧼 Pick up her stool promptly and disinfect hard surfaces with a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 30 parts water), as parvovirus can survive in the environment for months.
🦴 Wash food and water bowls, bedding, toys, and anything contaminated with f***s regularly.
💉 Continue her puppy vaccine series exactly as directed by your veterinarian, since recovering from parvo does not replace all of the protection provided by routine vaccinations.
❤️ Most importantly… love her! She doesn’t need intensive medical care anymore—just patience, a clean environment, good nutrition, and lots of cuddles while she continues to grow stronger.

The good news? Parvo does not spread to people or cats. It only affects dogs and other canines.

She-ra has already overcome so much, and now she deserves a family who will help her leave the scary part of her story behind. If you’ve been thinking about fostering or adopting, this sweet girl is ready to steal your heart.

📞 If you’re interested in fostering or adopting She-ra, please contact Carolina Veterinary Hospital at 919-258-3349 or send us a Facebook message.

Let’s find this amazing little survivor the loving home she’s fought so hard to have. 🐾💕

The amazing part? All Jeff wants is love, gentle pets, and a safe place to heal. 🥹

🎉 GREAT NEWS! 🎉

Ms. She-ra has officially come out the other side of parvovirus! ❤️🐾

This sweet girl has fought harder than we can put into words, and we’re thrilled to say she’s eating, drinking, going potty, playing, barking, and handing out soooo many puppy kisses! 🥹💕

She’s feeling like a puppy again and is more than ready for some room to run, toys to chase, and a future filled with love.

Parvovirus is one of the most serious and contagious diseases we see in young dogs. It attacks rapidly dividing cells, especially in the intestines and bone marrow, causing severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and a weakened immune system. Without aggressive treatment, it can be fatal.

What does recovery look like?
🐶 Over the next several weeks to months, She-ra will continue rebuilding her strength and muscle.
🥣 She’ll need a highly nutritious diet, lots of fresh water, and routine veterinary checkups.
🦠 Although she’s feeling much better, she may continue shedding the virus in her stool for a short time, so she’ll need to avoid contact with unvaccinated puppies and dogs until your veterinarian says it’s safe.
💉 She’ll also need to complete her puppy vaccination series to build long-term protection against parvovirus and other preventable diseases.

The good news is that dogs who survive parvo and receive proper follow-up care typically go on to live happy, healthy, normal lives. ❤️

She-ra’s story is a reminder of the incredible difference that compassionate care, supportive treatment, and a community that rallies together can make.

From all of us at Carolina Veterinary Hospital, THANK YOU to everyone who donated, shared her story, called to check on her, sent supplies, or simply kept her in your thoughts. Every act of kindness helped this little fighter get where she is today.

Now… who’s ready to watch this girl live the life she fought so hard for? 💙🐾

🐾 PSA: Safe Travel Starts Before You Leave Home 🐾

In just a matter of seconds, a routine trip to the veterinarian turned into a heartbreaking search for a beloved cat who slipped out of her carrier upon arrival. What followed was days of uncertainty, hope, and an incredible community effort to bring her home safely.

While situations like this are rare, they can happen to anyone. We’d like to use this experience as an important reminder about safe travel with your pets.

🚨 Carolina Veterinary Hospital Safety Policies

🐱 ALL cats must be transported in a secure carrier—from your front door, to your vehicle, into our exam room, and safely back home.

🐶 We do NOT accept retractable leashes. According to the AVMA and ASPCA, retractable leashes can break, malfunction, and allow pets to run into traffic or other dangerous situations before owners can react.

🛡️ Travel Safety Tips

✅ Double leash dogs using both a harness and collar.
✅ Secure carrier doors with carrier screws or small zip ties if your cat is an escape artist. (Keep scissors or nail clippers handy for quick removal.)
✅ Check carriers regularly for broken latches or cracks.
✅ Never open a carrier outdoors—wait until you’re safely inside the exam room.
✅ Keep ID tags and microchip information current.
✅ Buckle carriers in with a seat belt to help protect your pet during sudden stops.

The ASPCA, Humane Society of the United States, and American Veterinary Medical Association all recommend secure carriers and proper restraints because they reduce the risk of escape, minimize driver distraction, and help protect pets during accidents.

Our policies aren’t meant to be inconvenient—they’re designed to keep your pets, your family, and our team safe.

❤️ Thank you for helping us make every visit a safe one. Sometimes, it only takes one unexpected moment to change everything.

UPDATE: FOUND!!! She has been caught and is resting at home now!! Thank you for all the extra eyes and help! 💜💜💜💜💜

🚨 ATTENTION CVH FAMILY & FRIENDS!

One of our clients was bringing her sweet black-and-white cat, Mama Kitty, into Carolina Veterinary Hospital when she escaped from her carrier and ran up a very tall tree.

Our team did everything we could to help, and we’re incredibly grateful to the Sanford Fire Department for bringing their bucket truck to assist. Unfortunately, Mama Kitty was very frightened and wouldn’t come down while everyone was there.

When she finally did come down, she ran into the jm body shop yard next door.

Please keep your eyes open if you’re in the area. Mama Kitty is scared and may be hiding nearby. If you see her or have any information, please call Carolina Veterinary Hospital immediately.

Every sighting could help bring her safely home to her family. Thank you all for keeping watch and sharing this post! 🖤🤍🐾

The power was out at CVH for over 8 hours last night. In order to put the safety of our patients first, we are rescheduling all vaccine appointments until new vaccines arrive. We will keep you posted.

🐾 Ladies and gentlemen… Ms. She-ra is on the mend! ❤️

After an incredibly tough week, our sweet girl is finally turning a corner. She-ra is eating with gusto, wagging her tail, showering us with kisses, and becoming more mobile every day. Best of all, she’s looking so much more comfortable.

Her medications, your prayers, and the healing hands caring for her have helped give her the foundation she needed to begin her recovery. With time, patience, and lots of love, she’s showing us just how strong she truly is. We can’t wait to spoil her with many more meals, belly rubs, and scratches as she continues to heal.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has donated, called to check on her, sent encouraging messages, or simply kept She-ra in your thoughts. Your kindness has made a real difference in her journey.

If you’d like to help us continue Dr. Davis’s legacy of compassion, please consider donating to our Good Samaritan Fund. Your generosity allows us to provide lifesaving care to stray, abandoned, and injured animals in our community when they need it most.

"For the honor of Grayskull!"

She-Ra, the puppy with parvovirus that was left tied to our front door at 3:15am this past week, started eating this afternoon! Though this is a very, very good sign, she still has a little ways to go before she is completely out of the woods. She is still hoping for a foster or fur-ever home once she is ready to leave there hospital. Once she leaves, she may shed the virus in her f***s for several weeks (in some cases, up to 2 months) after symptoms resolve, so wherever she ends up will need to make sure to clean properly after she goes to the bathroom to reduce the risk of parvo spreading to other pups in the community.

At Carolina Veterinary Hospital, we have always focused on caring for animals rather than engaging in political issues. However, there are times when remaining silent would not reflect our commitment to the health and well-being of the pets, wildlife, and families we serve.

The proposed data center is one of those times.

Across the country, communities have raised concerns about the potential impacts large-scale data centers can have on the environment. These concerns include increased noise pollution, constant artificial lighting, heavy water consumption, habitat disruption, and other environmental changes that may affect both domestic animals and local wildlife. While every project is unique and should be evaluated on its own merits, these are important issues that deserve careful consideration before decisions are made.

As veterinary professionals, our responsibility extends beyond the walls of our hospital. We advocate for the health of animals, the people who love them, and the environment that supports us all.

For that reason, Carolina Veterinary Hospital supports a moratorium to allow for more thorough and transparent consideration of this proposal. We believe this additional time is necessary to allow for a thoughtful, science-based review of the potential environmental, agricultural, and animal health impacts while ensuring the public has access to the information needed to make informed decisions. We encourage our community to become informed, ask questions, and make their voices heard regarding the future of Lee County.

Our commitment has always been, and always will be, to protecting the health and welfare of the animals entrusted to our care. We believe every decision that could affect our community, its natural resources, and the animals that depend on them deserves careful consideration grounded in transparency and sound science.
