👩‍⚕️📖🐾🌟 It was an exciting day for the future of veterinary emergency and critical care!

Our CCVS residents were among 25 ECC residents from across the Northeast and Canada who came together for a full day of immersive, hands-on training. Throughout the day, each resident had the opportunity to individually perform 12 emergency and critical care procedures, along with hands-on training in dialysis, ultrasound-guided IV placement, and open-chest CPR simulations.

Experiences like these give residents the opportunity to practice advanced, lifesaving techniques in a learning environment so they can return to their hospitals with greater experience and confidence when caring for critically ill patients.

Just as exciting was seeing how engaged this group of residents was throughout the day. Their enthusiasm, dedication, and eagerness to learn left everyone involved feeling incredibly excited about the future of veterinary emergency and critical care.

We’re proud of our CCVS residents for taking part in such a valuable day of learning and grateful to the criticalists who shared their time, knowledge, and expertise with the next generation of ECC veterinarians! 🏥❤

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Today, we’re celebrating the pups who fill our lives with companionship, comfort, laughter, and unconditional love. Whether they’re curled up beside us on the couch, joining us on our favorite adventures, or simply greeting us at the door with a wagging tail, dogs have a special way of becoming part of the family. ❤️

National Dog Day is also an opportunity to recognize dogs of all breeds and backgrounds and raise awareness for those still waiting to find loving homes.

At CCVS, we feel incredibly lucky to care for so many wonderful dogs and to be a part of their lives when they need us most.

Give your pup a little extra love from us today—and help us celebrate by sharing a photo of your dog in the comments! 🐶🐾

Meet Maverick & Jaxon! 🤎🐾

These two handsome Labrador Retriever brothers have each had their own orthopedic journey, and we're so happy to see them back to enjoying life!

Maverick (left) is 7yo and was first diagnosed with elbow dysplasia in 2020, along with a secondary osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesion—a developmental condition that affects the cartilage and bone within the joint. He underwent elbow arthroscopy to remove the lesion and did well for several years.

In January 2025, Maverick came to CCVS after developing progressive lameness in his right front leg that wasn't fully improving with medication. A CT scan revealed progressive arthritis related to his elbow dysplasia, and our team recommended platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.

PRP is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated sample of a pet's own blood to help reduce inflammation and support healing. Since beginning intermittent PRP injections, Maverick has been doing great!

His younger brother, Jaxon (right), is 6yo and came to us in the fall of 2025 after experiencing intermittent lameness for nearly nine months. X-rays performed by his primary care veterinarian suggested a possible joint lesion, so a CT scan was recommended. The CT showed mild arthritis and tendonitis, and Jaxon responded very well to a steroid injection.

When his limping returned in the spring of 2026, he came back for a recheck and received another steroid injection. Since then, he's continued to do very well!

Caring for pets is a team effort. That's why we work closely with primary care veterinarians to help ensure each patient receives the care that's right for them. By collaborating every step of the way, we can help create a personalized treatment plan that supports each pet's health, comfort, and quality of life.

We're thrilled both Maverick and Jaxon are back to doing what they love—including long walks together. We wish them many more healthy, happy years ahead! ❤️

Not every patient is thrilled about their visit... 😸📢

(Thankfully, our Specialty Nurse Manager, Chloe, knows how to keep her cool. 😉)

Even in an emergency or specialty setting, we know veterinary visits can be stressful. That's why our team takes a low-stress, comfort-first approach whenever possible.

We care about your pet's emotional well-being just as much as their physical health. Our nurses and doctors are trained to read body language, recognize signs of fear and anxiety, and adjust their approach based on what each patient needs. Whether that means slowing things down, giving them a quiet moment to settle in, or utilizing gentle restraint techniques like swaddling to help them feel secure while keeping everyone safe, our goal is always the same: provide the best possible care with the least amount of stress.

A little protest is understandable. A calm, compassionate team is exactly what they're met with. ❤️🐾

Meet Scrappy! 🐱

When this handsome 5-year-old kitty arrived at CCVS, he was yowling and straining in the litter box. He has a history of constipation. X-rays confirmed a large amount of stool as well as stones in his bladder and urethra, which prevented normal urination.

Despite several attempts to help him pass the stones, Scrappy ultimately needed surgery. During a cystotomy, our team successfully removed two large bladder stones and flushed out a significant amount of gritty material. Thankfully, his bladder looked healthy overall, and he recovered well following surgery. Scrappy was able to return home with his family the very next day.

One of the highlights of Scrappy's hospital stay? A special visit from his brother, Bentley the bearded dragon! 🦎❤️

Today, Scrappy is back home with his family and back to being his normal, happy, "scrappy" self.

We're so grateful to have been part of his journey and are thrilled to see him back home and feeling like himself again.
