3 pounds of pure cuteness and tenacity. Nova here is nothing short of a miracle; she survived a near rupture of her uterus and the battle afterwards, as she was in need of an emergency pyometra surgery. During recovery with us, she loved eating her chicken and being in warm places—including the jacket pockets of our vet techs! Her and her mother, Tiny, were recently rescued by a loving family that are more than happy to have her back home.

It's been almost a month since Kato was transferred to us from his primary veterinary office for a foreign body surgery and sepsis. With the combination of our team's extensive critical care and Kato's incredible resilience, he was successfully stabilized and went home a few days later. Kato's Dad said he was showered with some of his favorites—rotisserie chicken, blueberry muffins, and a very excited dog sister's love. He is the definition of a success story, and we are so glad this sweet boy has healed.

The cone of shame sure can't hold Tink back from his unique sleeping positions. 😂This little guy is recovering well after he came in through our ER for a urinary blockage. If you ever suspect that your cat is experiencing a urinary blockage, they need to be seem right away by a veterinarian; blockages will not resolve at home.

Signs of urinary blockages can include:
• Straining repeatedly while producing little to no urine
• A hard, distended, painful lower abdomen
• Crying/vocalizing when trying to urinate
• Blood-tinged or cloudy urine
• Excessive licking of the ge***al area
• Vomiting, loss of appetite, extreme lethargy, and/or hiding

‼️Pet safety reminders for Halloween this weekend‼️

🍫 Keep sweets out of your pet's reach. Chocolate is toxic to cats and dogs, and sugar-free sweets typically contain xylitol, which can cause fatal blood sugar drops or liver failure in dogs. Candy wrappers can also cause choking or life-threatening intestinal blockages.

🎃 Trick-or-treating can be overwhelming for pets—the constant opening of the front door, the scary costumes, large amounts of people... To prevent them from bolting out the front door, keep your pets in a quiet, comfortable room that's tucked away from the front door. Always make sure your pet is wearing an up-to-date ID tag and has an updated, active microchip.

👻 We know that pet costumes are cute, but only dress up your pet if they actually enjoy being in a costume so that you don't cause them to have unnecessary stress. If you're dressing up your furry friend(s), make sure the costume doesn't affect their ability to move normally, see, breathe, and bark/meow. Check your outfits for pieces that can easily be chewed off so that it doesn't become a choking hazard, and make sure their costume fits them well so that they don't get twisted up in it or caught on something else.
