🎶You are my sunshine...🎶🌻

Diego has been such a bright light for us this year, smiling and wagging his tail through even the most difficult times. He came to us in March with a ruptured and infected left a**l sac, which we removed and biopsied to see what caused the issue. That's when we confirmed a**l sac cancer. Fortunately, his chest X-rays and abdominal ultrasound did not show any evidence the cancer has spread, so we started 5 rounds of carboplatin chemotherapy.

Diego did well with his treatments and brought a little piece of sunshine with him every time we saw him. Congrats to Diego and his family!

We're getting ready for tomorrow's Czar's Promise Inspiring Hope Walk, so we're reflecting on Charlie's journey getting some help from this amazing organization to get chemotherapy treatment.

This very handsome 6-year old Coonhound came to us in March with multiple enlarged lymph nodes. After diagnosing it as B cell lymphoma, Charlie's family was able to secure aid from Czar's Promise to start CHOP chemotherapy protocol, a gold-standard treatment. Charlie did well through his protocol and wasn't shy showing everyone that he learned where the treats are kept! We are wishing Charlie and his family a long remission 💛💜🧡

Pet allergies can show up in lots of different ways, and sometimes the symptoms are hard to notice until the issue gets worse. Facial swelling, trouble breathing, or fainting can be a sign that your pet is having an emergency related to allergies.

🎉Congrats Toby!!🎉

Our oncology team started working with Toby in April after his lymphoma diagnosis. As he started CHOP chemotherapy protocol for B cell lymphoma, he quickly learned that treatments came with loads of snuggles and treats. In return, Toby always brought big smiles to each visit.

He's now completed his treatments - please join us in congratulating Toby and his family and wishing him a long, happy remission 💜🧡💛

One question we get all the time: "Do I need an appointment?"

The answer is no, but we do recommend calling first!

📞When you call, we'll ask about your pet's condition. If they're stable, we'll give you an "arrival time" based on our current caseload. An arrival time isn't a traditional appointment. Because we're an urgent care clinic, emergencies are always handled first. The schedule may shift if a patient in critical condition comes in. With an arrival time, you can spend most of your time at home with your pet instead of in our lobby. You'll come in closer to when we expect to see you. There may still be a brief wait after you arrive, but it's often much shorter than if you simply walked in.

🚶🏼If you walk in with a stable pet, we'll add you to our schedule at the next available arrival time. This might mean waiting a few hours if we're busy.

🚨If your pet is having a true emergency, don't wait! Call us and come right in.

We're here every day from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. to provide urgent care when your pet needs it most!

Part of our mission here at ACES is to help pet owners in Madison and surrounding areas access timely care. Ultrasounds are in high demand right now, and getting one shouldn't take so long! That's why we're expanding our services to offer non-urgent ultrasounds every Friday from noon to 5 p.m., starting this week.

We do abdominal ultrasounds, echocardiograms, thoracic ultrasounds, cervical ultrasounds, and more! Give us a call at 608-333-0500 to grab an appointment or refer a client. You can also text us at 608-405-6585.
