🐾 Success stories like Tumbledown's make our day! 💙

After undergoing TPLO surgery in October 2025, Tumbledown graduated from rehab a few months later and spent the winter and spring rebuilding his strength with physical therapy exercises and trail walks. Now, he's back to enjoying all of his favorite Maine summer adventures! ☀️🌲

We're so grateful his family shared this happy update and love seeing our patients get back to doing what they love. Wishing Tumbledown many more adventures ahead! 🐶

☀️ Maine's perfect 72° summer day feels safe, but looks can be deceiving.

Temperature is only part of the picture. Humidity, direct sun, airflow, activity level, and your dog's age, breed, and overall health all affect how well they can stay cool.

Don't just watch the weather app. Watch your pet! If they seem overly tired, pant excessively, or aren't acting like themselves, it may be time to head inside and cool down.

Behind every successful surgery is a dedicated team working together. 🐾

Surgeon Dr. Steinberg and Intern Dr. Sarmogenes recently teamed up in the operating room, combining expertise, collaboration, and hands-on learning to provide the highest level of care for our patients.

We're proud to support the next generation of veterinarians while delivering exceptional specialty veterinary care every step of the way. 💙 https://mvmc.vet/pet-surgery-scarborough-me

🌞 Hot days can be tough on our furry friends! Help keep your pets safe by providing plenty of fresh water, limiting outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day, and never leaving them in a parked vehicle.

Watch for signs of heat stress like excessive panting, drooling, weakness, or vomiting, and seek veterinary care right away.

Stay cool, stay safe, and enjoy summer together!

Veterinary medicine is more than a profession—it’s a community.

When one of us is hurting, we all feel it. A local general practice has lost everything, and while buildings and equipment can eventually be replaced, the people who dedicate their lives to caring for our patients deserve our support now more than ever.

If you’re able, please consider donating to help their longest-standing employee as they begin the difficult process of rebuilding. Every act of kindness, no matter the size, reminds us that our greatest strength has always been each other.

Thank you for showing what this incredible community is capable of. ❤️ Carrabassett Veterinary Services

When Vincent arrived at MVMC, our team knew he was facing a serious medical challenge. Despite receiving intensive care, Vincent experienced a cardiac arrest.

Within seconds, our Emergency & Critical Care team initiated CPR. Through the expertise of our doctors and technicians, and exceptional teamwork, Vincent's heartbeat was restored, allowing us to continue the critical care he needed.

Although every patient and every situation is different, restoring a heartbeat after cardiac arrest is a significant achievement and reflects the rapid response, specialized training, and advanced critical care that we had available to patients like Vincent.

This week, Vincent's mom reached out to let us know he's doing wonderfully at home—happy, comfortable, and back to doing what cats do best. There are few updates more meaningful to our team.

We're incredibly grateful to have been part of Vincent's journey and deeply thankful to his family for trusting us with his care during one of the most difficult moments they could face. 💙🐾

Every year, MVMC's ophthalmology team partners with the ACVO Service Animal Volunteer Eye Screening Event to provide free eye exams for service and therapy animals. These dogs dedicate their lives to helping others, and we're honored to help keep their vision healthy so they can continue doing the important jobs they were trained for.

Fun fact: many service and therapy dogs are trained to "touch" a target with their nose, making our Boop Cam a perfect assignment. Safe to say they understood the mission. 🐾👃

We know the season means road trips, beach days, hikes, backyard barbecues, and a lot more time outdoors with the pets who make life better.

Wherever summer takes you, thank you for trusting us to care for the companions who share every adventure with you.

Happy first day of summer from the team at Maine Veterinary Medical Center! ☀️🐾
