Jean Luc made himself right at home during his chemotherapy treatment, curled up and completely relaxed with Jessica.

Moments like these remind us how important comfort, trust, and gentle care can be during treatment journeys.

He was such a brave and sweet boy for his visit yesterday! 🐾

🎗️ Lymphoma Awareness, with a whole lot of heart 💛

One of the things I’m most grateful for in this job is the incredible clients and patients I get to work with every day. Even during the tougher journeys, like chemotherapy, there is so much kindness, strength, and community.

A special thank you to Andrea and her sweet boy Sully, who had these beautiful lymphoma awareness bandanas made not just for Sully (black lab), but for other patients going through treatment at Vetcetera. What a thoughtful and generous gesture 🐾

Diesel (husky), Simon (doodle) Nicxi (Chinese Crested) and Jean Luc (poodle) are proudly wearing theirs, and I know it means so much to all of us to feel supported along the way.

Sully, Diesel, Simon, Nicxi, Jean Luc and all of our brave patients …… you’ve got a whole team cheering you on 💛

🚨 Blocked Cats Are an Emergency 🚨

Meet Sitka 💙 — this handsome guy recently went through a very scary situation called a urinary blockage. Sitka is extra special to us because he’s the cat of Courtney’s sister. 🐾

A urinary blockage happens when a cat (most commonly male cats) cannot pass urine. This is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate veterinary care.

Signs to watch for:
• Straining in the litter box
• Frequent trips to the litter box with little to no urine
• Crying or discomfort
• Licking the ge***al area
• Vomiting or acting lethargic

Sitka was blocked, but thanks to quick action and treatment, he’s on the road to recovery 💕

👉 If you ever notice these signs, don’t wait — contact your vet right away. Early intervention can save your cat’s life.

Let’s all give Sitka some love as he continues to recover! 🐱💙
