We first saw Flanders at the beginning of October when he came into our emergency hospital because he wasn’t walking on his right back leg. After an examination from our Emergency Doctor, she found that he needed a TPLO, which would be his second TPLO in two years. He had his surgery here a few weeks ago and just started rehab here this week. Both Flanders and his owners, Michael and Abbey, have been friendly faces we love to see every time they’re here. Since Flanders has had many visits over the past two months and is wonderful to see every time, we have named him the patient of the month!

Hazel Basil came into our emergency hospital yesterday to get a cut stitched up and got a cool Crocodile bandaid in the process! We’re open 24/7 for all of your animal emergencies.

Our hospital was full of 16 beautiful doggies today for our All Breed Heart Clinic and we got all of the cuddles! 7 Pomeranians, 6 Cavaliers, and 3 Samoyeds came for heart screenings and we couldn’t be happier. A huge thank you to the Cavaliers of the West for partnering with us! At the heart clinic, our cardiologist listened to the hearts of dogs that may be prone to heart disease or wanted to do an early screening as a precaution. If a heart murmur was found, Dr. Lake-Bakaar offered an echocardiogram to see if the heart was healthy or needed treatment.

Flanders came in again today to see us for his surgery, and he brought his little orange ball for his stay here! Can you get any cuter??

We had some new staff members start today who are very friendly and ready to help!

We had an awesome group of 8 Cavaliers come in today for Echocardiogram rechecks!

Huckleberry came in today to recheck a previously diagnosed pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart). He is very excited (well, as excited as this mellow fellow can get) to let everyone know that the fluid has not returned!

We had a few friendly neighbors come into our ER yesterday, Flanders and his owners, to find out why Flanders wasn’t walking on his own. After an examination, Dr. Grimshaw found that he had a torn ligament, so we’ll be seeing these two again soon for surgery. Here are photos from an echo today to evaluate Flanders’ heart murmur and see if his heart is ready for surgery.
