Happy Mother’s Day to all of us whose babies happen to have four paws, furry faces, and a very special place in our hearts. ❤️
When I first adopted Humberto, I never imagined that motherhood would mean being surrounded by diapers for almost seven years—and yet, here we are. Humberto cannot urinate on his own. He needs his bladder expressed two to three times a day, and he has to wear diapers all the time. In the beginning, I honestly thought his life expectancy would be short. I imagined that he would spend his life battling pain, depending on daily medication, and that once the first urinary tract infection came, it would only be a matter of time before his little body could no longer keep up.
Today, I am so incredibly happy to say how wrong I was. Humberto has taught me that sometimes love asks us to believe in possibilities we cannot yet see. He has no pain. He is happy. He is active. He enjoys his life. And although urinary infections remain part of his story, we have found other ways to manage them and stabilize his condition—methods that have worked wonderfully for him. Seven years of learning that caring for someone is not about fixing what is broken, but about showing up every day with love and presence, making life as gentle and joyful as possible. Humberto has given me far more than I ever expected, and in return he has shown me that motherhood—especially the kind we don’t plan for—can be found in the smallest routines and the deepest acts of devotion. It is a reminder that love often looks different than we imagined, but is no less real, no less powerful, and no less beautiful.
And so I celebrate all the mothers whose children have fur instead of hair, paws instead of hands, and unconditional love instead of words. Motherhood doesn’t always look the way we imagined it would. And sometimes, the greatest gift is being proven wrong about how much life and happiness are still possible.

Veterinary thermography, or Digital Thermal Imaging (DTI), is a non-invasive screening tool that measures skin surface heat to map blood flow and nervous system activity. Because animals naturally hide discomfort, this technology helps clinicians pinpoint the exact location of hidden pain and inflammation before confirming the specific cause with traditional imaging like X-rays. Can you see the differences before and after treatment?

La termografía veterinaria, o Imagen Térmica Digital (DTI), es una herramienta de detección no invasiva que mide el calor de la superficie de la piel para mapear el flujo sanguíneo y la actividad del sistema nervioso. Debido a que los animales ocultan el malestar por naturaleza, esta tecnología ayuda a los clínicos a localizar con precisión el punto exacto de dolor e inflamación ocultos antes de confirmar la causa específica con imágenes tradicionales como los rayos X. Puedes ver la diferencia antes y después del tratamiento?

One of the greatest challenges in small animal veterinary medicine is diagnosing discomfort in patients who cannot speak. Because companion animals—particularly dogs, cats, and small mammals—instinctively hide discomfort as a survival mechanism, pain often remains undiagnosed until a condition becomes advanced.

Uno de los mayores desafíos en la medicina veterinaria de animales pequeños es diagnosticar el malestar en pacientes que no pueden hablar. Debido a que los animales de compañía —particularmente los perros, gatos y pequeños mamíferos— ocultan el dolor por instinto como un mecanismo de supervivencia, el dolor suele quedarse sin diagnosticar hasta que la condición está muy avanzada.

Would you like to know if your pet suffers from chronic pain?

Veterinary thermography is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses infrared cameras to detect heat patterns and blood flow in body tissues. Because animals cannot communicate the exact location or nature of their pain, thermography acts as a “map” that guides veterinarians to areas of physiological activity. Thermogram image from a Dachshund with no lower back pain but chronic digestive issues. Red area indicates increased circulation on the area corresponding to digestive organ systems.

La termografía veterinaria es una herramienta de diagnóstico no invasiva que utiliza cámaras infrarrojas para detectar patrones de calor y el flujo sanguíneo en los tejidos corporales. Debido a que los animales no pueden comunicar la ubicación exacta o la naturaleza de su dolor, la termografía actúa como un “mapa” que guía a los veterinarios hacia las áreas de actividad fisiológica. La image arriba es de un paciente Dachshund que no padece de dolor de espalda lumbar peri si de problemas digestivos crônicos. Lá área em rojo indica aumento de circulação en la área corresponde a los órganos del sistema digestivo.

What if we could give voice to our fury friends with a simple method of just taking pics of them? Pics that can show us, objectively, if they are feeling pain but are not showing us any signs yet. Pics that can illustrate the level of discomfort and also the progress of their treatments. Sounds good right? Yes, it is possible now, at Dao Dog & a tiger Cat. Stay tuned.
