🐾 Meet Cassie!
At just 2 months old, this sweet Cavalier mix had only been home with her new family for a very short time when they noticed she wasn’t feeling well. They acted quickly and brought her to our ER, after she tested positive for Parvo. Cassie spent 2 days hospitalized with our team, then headed back home to her loving family.

Swipe through to see Cassie’s journey—from her time in the hospital to her happy recovery at home! 💛🐶

Her family shared this update:
✨ “She is doing good at home. She is eating well; jumps up and down while breakfast is being served. They had a doggy gate up to block access. They came home to find her in the room they blocked her from. She is a smart and sneaky puppy. She is vocal and demanding. And they love her like crazy!” ✨

We’re so glad to see Cassie thriving! A reminder to all puppy parents: puppies need a series of vaccinations to be fully protected against Parvo. Talk to your veterinarian about keeping your pup safe. 💉

🐾💙 Meet Jovi Cam, our sweet (and curious!) pittie patient! 💙🐾

Jovi came to the VESH emergency department after snacking on some things that definitely weren’t on the menu… cloth, plastic, grass, and even wire! 😳

During surgery, our team first made a small opening in her stomach to remove a large amount of plastic, grass, and cloth. An additional incision was then made in her intestine, where about a FOOT of foreign material was carefully removed — including the metal object seen on her X-rays, tangled up in the mess.

Thanks to the skilled care of Dr. Crowdis and our amazing team, Jovi’s surgery was a success! ✨ She’s now on the mend and back to being her adorable, happy self. 🐶💕

👉 Swipe to see her X-rays, surgery journey, and the best part — Jovi Cam back home and healing!

🌽🐾 Meet Moose! This sweet pup gave his family quite the scare when he swallowed a whole corn cob before they could stop him. Corn cobs may seem harmless, but they can cause serious and even life-threatening blockages in dogs if not treated quickly.

Thankfully, Moose’s family acted fast. Here’s what they had to say:
✨ “Our dog accidentally got ahold of a corn cob and swallowed it WHOLE before we could even blink! I checked in online on our way to the hospital and they called right away to talk about Moose and our situation. When we got there, everyone was so kind and they took him back quickly, induced vomiting, and retrieved the corn cob fast and safely! He had a great recovery and is doing well! I can’t recommend this hospital enough!! Dr. Ward and his team were wonderful!!” ✨

We’re so glad Moose is happy and healthy again! 💛 A reminder to all pet parents—keep corncobs and other risky foods out of reach, and if your pet eats something they shouldn’t, seek veterinary care immediately.
