Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage, compassion, and service that followed.

National Day of Service and Remembrance is an opportunity to honor their memory by helping others and strengthening the communities around us.

From caring for our patients and supporting their families to helping our coworkers and neighbors, small acts of service can make a meaningful difference.

Today, we remember. We honor. We serve.

Today is a good reminder to check in with the people around you. Ask how they are doing. Listen without trying to fix everything. Encourage someone to take a break or get support when they need it.

You do not have to wait until someone is in crisis to start the conversation.

If you or someone you know is struggling or needs immediate support, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Take care of yourself. Look out for your coworkers. And do not be afraid to ask for help.

Foxtails may be small, but they can lead to big problems fast. These barbed grass awns can become lodged in your pet's paws, ears, nose, eyes, or skin and continue to move deeper into the body.

After walks, hikes, or time in dry grassy areas, take a few moments to check your pet closely.

If symptoms come on suddenly or worsen quickly, it may be time for emergency care !

September is National Su***de Prevention Month, a time to remind one another that mental health deserves the same care and attention we give every other part of our wellbeing.

Veterinary medicine can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also come with unique pressures, including long hours, emotionally difficult cases, compassion fatigue, and the weight of caring deeply for our patients and their families.
If you are struggling, please know that you do not have to face it alone. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, and there are people ready to listen.

Bee stings can turn from a minor scare into an emergency quickly, especially during spring and summer outdoor time.

A little awareness can help pet owners act fast and keep their pets safer when unexpected bee stings happen.

Contact a veterinarian if you notice:

🐝 Facial swelling that is worsening
🐝Trouble breathing
🐝Vomiting after the sting
🐝Collapse or weakness
🐝Hives or swelling
🐝 Severe pain or multiple stings

These can all be signs of an allergic reaction and should be treated as an emergency.
