**Dr. Meyer update**

Thank you all for the continued support, kind messages, and patience during my recovery.

I’m happy to share that starting next week, I’ll slowly begin seeing small animal patients on a limited basis as part of my gradual return to clinical work. While I’m still under medical restrictions and working closely with my surgeon to ensure a safe recovery, this is a big and exciting step forward.

Please continue to check our page for updates as I’m able and allowed to increase my availability. I’ll share changes to my schedule and hours here to keep everyone in the loop.

Looking forward to seeing some familiar furry faces again soon!

🐴✨ Team Spotlight: Signe, LVT Extraordinaire! ✨🐴

We’re incredibly proud to shine a light on one of our amazing Licensed Veterinary Technicians, Signe, who recently authored a case study on a procedure we performed here at our clinic: Transvenous Electrical Cardioversion (TVEC). 💓⚡

Our team carried out this procedure in collaboration with a board-certified veterinary cardiologist to treat a case of atrial fibrillation—a serious cardiac arrhythmia in horses. Her published study not only showcases the high level of care we provide, but also contributes to ongoing advancements in equine cardiology. Check it out using the link below! ⬇️

Dr. Meyer Medical Leave Update
July 17, 2025

Many of you know I sustained a right foot fracture on May 7. It’s now been just over 8 weeks, and while healing is progressing, it’s been a slow and steady journey.

Two weeks ago, I was cleared to return to limited administrative duties and have been working 4 hours a day, 3 days a week at the clinic. I'm still non-weight bearing on my right foot, which continues to limit my clinical work.

I’m currently working with my surgeon to develop a safe and sustainable plan for returning to patient care. If recovery continues as expected, I hope to begin seeing small animal patients on a limited basis within the next 1–2 weeks, gradually increasing my availability based on healing progress.

My return to equine care will take longer, as it requires greater physical demands, and I want to ensure a complete recovery to support the long-term health of both my career and my patients. I’ll be reaching out to my equine clients directly with a hopeful timeline as my recovery progresses.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience - and for the kind messages, check-ins, and thoughtfulness during this time. It’s been incredibly heartwarming and genuinely appreciated. I look forward to getting back to doing what I love, one step at a time (literally). 🐾 🐴

🎉 Exciting News from the Pilchuck Team! 🎉

This week, we’re thrilled to announce that Melinda has officially been approved to sit for her VTS exam in Equine Veterinary Nursing this December! This milestone follows a year-long application process, which included comprehensive case logs, an advanced skills portfolio, and extensive continuing education—all rigorously reviewed by the Academy of Equine Veterinary Nursing Technicians.

For licensed veterinary technicians, earning a Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) credential represents the pinnacle of professional achievement—recognizing advanced knowledge, skill, and experience in a focused area of veterinary medicine.

LVT Signe Mullen is also pursuing her VTS in Equine Internal Medicine. We couldn’t be more proud of these ladies for their dedication to advancing the quality of care we provide. Congratulations, Melinda, on this incredible achievement—we’re cheering you both on every step of the way! 👏🙌

🐴💬 It’s National Joke Day and we’re horsing around! 💬🐴

Here’s one to stirrup some laughs:

Why did the horse go behind the tree?
👉 To change his jockeys! 😂

Got a good horse joke? Drop it below and let’s trot into the weekend with a laugh!

🐴⚠️ Core vaccines are called core for a reason — every horse needs them, regardless of age or contact with other horses. These vaccines protect against serious, often fatal diseases like tetanus, Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis, West Nile Virus, and rabies.

Your horse can contract these illnesses from their environment alone, making vaccination essential for all horses. Work with your vet to develop a core vaccine program tailored for your horse, and keep them protected with annual exams and vaccinations. 🩺💉

🎓🐴 Farewell to Our Incredible Interns! 🐴🎓

As the season comes to a close, we say a heartfelt goodbye to our equine veterinary interns. Over the past year, they've poured their passion, dedication, and hard-earned knowledge into every case and late-night emergency.

We watched these young veterinarians grow into confident, compassionate professionals—and we couldn't be prouder. 💪💉

Thank you for the laughter, teamwork, and tireless commitment to the horses and clients we serve. We wish you nothing but success in your next chapter—whether it's residency, private practice, or wherever your path leads. 🐎✨

Once an intern, always part of the Pilchuck family. 💙
