On the eve of Halloween we have a few reminders for our clients and their pets!👻🎃🕸️🕷️🐾

No Treats! 🍬🍭🍫 - Chocolate and xylitol are toxic to pets. No need to share your human treats with them! Diarrhea is not a fun way to start November.😉

ID Tags! 🏷️- Remember to have your pets identification tags secured and on your pet. Doors that are opening and closing are a high risk for an escaped animal.

Wrappers and Trash!🗑️ - wrappers, glow sticks, toys and all the other festive items that you may come home with pose a risk for our pets that like to chew on things! Remember to secure your trash and keep small items put up and away from your pet. These can cause blockages and vomiting/diarrhea.

As always, we hope you have a safe and festive Halloween!🎃👻🕸️🕷️🐾🖤

Tonight some of our staff had the opportunity to attend the Next Steps event at Show Low High School!💚💛
They spent the evening talking to students and young adults about the experience of working in veterinary medicine and the steps to get there. Students even got to play with some puppies! We love opportunities to educate and encourage future veterinary staff!♥️🩺🐾

Dr. Stoddard got to talk to students who may want to be DVMS, Sarah discussed the rolls of practice management, and Brynna talked about the roles of veterinary technicians/assistants in a clinic setting. Thank you to everyone who stopped by! We loved talking with you!🐾🥰♥️🩺

We’re late to the party on a celebratory post, but that’s because our account is run by a technician who was busy making tech week fun for our staff! 🌈🩺🐾

Our technicians wear many hats. Whether they are taking your pets history, talking to you in the room, taking blood, placing catheters, running labs, administering medications, taking radiographs, prepping surgeries, monitoring anesthesia, providing hospital care or simply snuggling your pet, they are doing it with love. Our technicians work tirelessly to provide the best care for your pets. They have laughed with you, cried with you, mourned with you and worked their tails off (no pun intended) for the animals they treat. We have a wonderful team and we are so grateful for all that they do, day in and day out. Thank your veterinary technician and show them some love!🩷🌈🩺🐾

We were proud to be the hosting location for this event for the community. Several members of our staff and Dr. Ochoa donated their time and skill to help spay and neuter all of these pets.♥️

Everyone worked tirelessly and with love and amazing things happened! We are grateful to have the relationships that we do that allow us to be able to treat so many animals and help give back where we can. Together we can accomplish so much!♥️🐾

Thank you to everyone who donated time, funds and expertise for this event!

We love Paddy and hope to see him completely healthy and happy in the near future!♥️🍀

🍀 PADDY UPDATE — THE GOOD, THE MEATBALLS & A LITTLE CONCERN 🍀

Our sweet Paddy is doing WONDERFULLY in so many ways! 💚🐾

He is healing beautifully from his surgery, his appetite is fantastic, and we can genuinely see a difference in his spirit! There is so much more puppy playfulness coming out of this little guy. It's almost as though he's discovering what it feels like to finally FEEL GOOD! 🥹♥️

Now, he's not particularly impressed with crate rest or his dietary restrictions. 😂 The little meatballs he's allowed to eat are apparently delicious, but we're pretty sure Paddy would gladly eat an entire world made of meatballs if given the opportunity!

However, we do have a new concern. 💔
Paddy has recently begun experiencing seizures, something he has never experienced before. Naturally, this has us worried, and he had a veterinary visit today to address this new development.

We are monitoring him closely and hoping this may be related to his medications rather than something more serious.

Next week, Paddy will undergo an examination under sedation to evaluate how his surgical repair is healing. The findings will be shared with his medical team at Colorado State University.

While this is NOT another surgery, it is still a medical procedure with expenses, and we could certainly use a little help covering the cost. 💚

🍀 If you would consider donating toward Paddy's upcoming procedure and continued medical care, we would be incredibly grateful. Every $5, $10 or $20 helps us continue giving this little guy the care he needs.

And a very special THANK YOU to the wonderful team at Alta Sierra Veterinary Hospital for monitoring Paddy so closely, continuing his care here at home and always looking out for our little guy. We are so grateful to have you in his corner! ♥️

We were hoping for a little less excitement during recovery, but Paddy apparently has other plans! 😂

Despite this new concern, he is eating, growing stronger and showing us more of that wonderful personality every day.

We've come too far to do anything but keep moving forward.

Please keep our lucky boy in your thoughts, and thank you for continuing to love him right along with us.

Keep healing, Paddy. You've got a whole lot of living (and meatballs) ahead of you! 🍀💚🐾
