Meet Dr. Monty Galley, a Board-certified Veterinary Surgeon at MedVet Chicago and MedVet team member for over a decade, whose passion for animals and precision medicine led him to a career in advanced surgery. 🩺🐾

Dr. Galley shares with us what inspired him to become a veterinarian, why he chose to specialize in Surgery, and how he balances his work with hobbies outside the hospital. Whether he’s performing soft tissue and trauma surgery or spending time outdoors, his dedication to patient care and team collaboration is at the heart of everything he does.💙

What an incredible time at this year’s American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) Forum! We were thrilled to connect with future colleagues at the Candidate Happy Hour at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory and celebrate new diplomates during the Specialty Symposium and New Diplomate Reception.

The MedVet booth was buzzing throughout the Exhibit Hall, allowing us to meet and engage with so many passionate veterinary professionals. We also had the honor of sharing knowledge and ideas, with Maura Stevenson, PhD., Joe DeFulio, and Dr. Kathy Wright presenting on topics shaping the future of veterinary medicine.

The MedVet Student Mixer was another highlight, and we were delighted to co-sponsor the Connecting Communities Reception, supporting diversity and belonging within the veterinary profession.

Thank you to all of Team MedVet who participated and worked hard to make this year’s ACVIM Forum such a success, including our CEO Dr. Linda Lehmkuhl, Jen Burns, Lindsay Ramhoff, Erika Allen, Erin Ferguson, Dr. Jon Fletcher, and Truli Powell! We can't wait for the 2026 ACVIM Forum in Seattle, Washington!

At MedVet, we believe every team member deserves to be seen, respected, and valued for who they are. Chancellor Partington, a Doctor Coordinator at MedVet Chicago, shares how MedVet has created a space where he can be himself — and how that sense of belonging allows him to show up fully every day.

This PRIDE Month, we’re honoring the diversity that makes our team and our hospitals stronger, more compassionate, and more connected — because when everyone feels supported, we can all do our best work for pets and the people who love them. 🐾🏳️‍🌈

When Gus was diagnosed with high-grade lymphoma, his family turned to MedVet Northern Virginia for help.

Surgeon Dr. Jay Coisman first removed a re**al tumor that was causing Gus discomfort, and then Medical Oncologist Dr. Brendan Boostrom guided him through a full CHOP chemotherapy course to help prevent the cancer from returning.

Throughout treatment, Gus stayed strong and even experienced one of the rarer chemo side effects: significant hair loss. But his spirit never wavered, and today he’s almost two years in remission, rocking a whole new look and living life to the fullest. 💙

Gus is a reminder of what’s possible with compassionate, collaborative veterinary care. We’re honored to be part of his journey!

When Jude was transferred to MedVet Vancouver's ER from Grateful Heart Veterinary Hospital after being resuscitated there through life-saving CPR, every second mattered. Our Emergency team, with support from our Critical Care, Internal Medicine, and Neurology teams, worked together to begin Jude’s care journey.

Together, they uncovered the underlying cause: Addison’s disease, a hormonal disorder where the adrenal glands don't produce enough cortisol and aldosterone, two crucial hormones for regulating various bodily functions. This condition can lead to life-threatening crises if undiagnosed, but thanks to expert collaboration and a tailored treatment plan, Jude made it through intensive care and began the road to recovery.

With months of dedicated rehab and follow-up care from his loving moms, Jude is now thriving—wrapped in his favorite blanket and full of life. 💙

After experiencing trauma and trouble breathing, little Emmie was brought to MedVet Commerce. Under the care of Criticalist Dr. Adrienne Felix, she was diagnosed with suspected non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema and pulmonary contusions — meaning fluid had built up in her lungs and her lung tissue was injured.

She needed more than standard oxygen and was treated with high-flow nasal oxygen therapy. Just days later, Emmie was breathing easy and back to being her joyful, energetic self. 💛

At MedVet, we recognize Juneteenth as a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey toward equality, freedom, and justice.

This important day commemorates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the United States, and it continues to inspire reflection, education, and action.

In honor of Juneteenth, we’re proud to share reflections from members of our Black Employee Network. Through their words, we celebrate Black history, culture, and resilience—while reaffirming our commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable workplace and world.

We’re grateful to our Black caregivers for sharing their voices, experiences, and leadership within our hospitals and beyond.

At 35 years old, Yoda the parrot is still full of personality—chatting, dancing, and now healing after eye surgery at WestVet Boise.

Yoda was treated for glaucoma in her right eye, which left her with little to no vision and ongoing discomfort. After a thorough evaluation, Drs. Sami Pederson and Morgan Oakleaf, along with our Ophthalmology and Anesthesia teams, performed a modified evisceration—removing most of the eye but preserving the outer shell to reduce bleeding and help with post-op balance, a key consideration for birds.

Two weeks post-surgery, Yoda is thriving and back to being her vibrant self!

MedVet is celebrating National Nonprofit Day by spotlighting a very special program near and dear to our caregivers: the AVMF REACH Program.

We understand unexpected pet emergencies and specialty veterinary care may be a financial burden for pet families — this program breaks down barriers to access veterinary care by offering grants to over 100,000 AVMA members nationwide. Through the AVMF REACH Program and on behalf of our clients, MedVet veterinarians proudly support charitable care when financial barriers could keep patients from getting the care they need.

If you're interested and able to support pet owners in financial need, please consider making a donation to AVMF's REACH Program by clicking the donation link on this post.
