๐Ÿพ Meet April Mae! ๐Ÿ’•

April Mae is an 8-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who visited WVRC Racine for a painful swelling in her right ear.

With the help of Dr. Holub and the team, Aprilโ€™s aural hematoma was treated by draining fluid from her ear! She was also sent home with medications to help prevent the swelling from returning.

An aural hematoma is a blood-filled swelling between the skin and cartilage of the ear flap, often caused by head shaking or ear scratching.

Weโ€™re so glad we could help April feel more comfortable and hope sheโ€™s enjoying some well-deserved rest and extra love at home! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’–

Feel better soon, April Mae! ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿพ Meet Penny! ๐Ÿ’•

This sweet 2-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier came to our emergency facility after her family noticed a painful, damaged toenail.

Penny had been busy doing what she does bestโ€”running, jumping, and splashing in the water! ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿถ With some gentle care, treatment, and plenty of TLC, our team got her comfortable and on the road to healing.

Despite her sore paw, Penny was an absolute sweetheart! โค๏ธ

A big thank-you to Pennyโ€™s family for their patience and trust while we cared for their girl. Weโ€™re so happy she was able to head home and hope sheโ€™s back to her playful adventures soon!

Get well soon, Penny! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’•

๐Ÿ“ฆโœจ Leave It at Work Box! โœจ๐Ÿ“ฆ

Sometimes you just need a place to leave it at work. The stress, the frustrations, the tough cases, the never-ending to-do listโ€ฆ you name it! ๐Ÿ˜…

Our leadership team created a โ€œLeave It at Workโ€ box as a fun reminder that while we care deeply about what we do, itโ€™s also important to leave work at work and make time to recharge.

Write it down, drop it in the box, and let it go!

Because our team deserves to clock out with a little less on their shoulders. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿพ Meet Oreo! ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค

Oreo is a sweet 12-year-old American Shorthair who recently visited WVRC Racine/Kenosha after her family noticed blood in her urine (hematuria).

Her diagnostics included an X-ray, which showed several bladder stones. A urinalysis and urine culture were also sent to the laboratory to gather more information and help guide her care.

Oreo received subcutaneous fluids and pain medication to help keep her comfortable while recovering at home. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ’—

While Oreo wasn't exactly a fan of her veterinary visit (we can't blame her! ๐Ÿ˜น), our team hopes she's now relaxing in the comfort of home and feeling much better.

๐Ÿ’• Creating a Fear Free experience
Did you know we have Fear Free staff on our team?

The Fear Free veterinary approach focuses on changing the way we think about and interact with pets who may be fearful, anxious, or defensive. Instead of judgmental labels, we use empathetic language and work to reduce environmental stress and avoid unnecessary restraint whenever possible.

Because sometimes the bravest thing a pet can do is simply make it through a visit. ๐Ÿพ

Feel better soon, Oreo! ๐Ÿ–ค

๐Ÿพ Meet Bitsy! ๐Ÿพ

This sweet 7-year-old short-haired Chihuahua came to WVRC Racine/Kenosha after her family noticed a bloated abdomen, yelping when picked up, eye redness, and some wincing. Needless to say, Bitsy was ready for some TLC! ๐Ÿ’•

Dr. Diverde and our team got right to work, performing a rapid point-of-care ultrasound of her abdomen along with a fluorescein eye stain to take a closer look at those adorable eyes. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿฉบ

Bitsy was diagnosed with conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the conjunctival tissue. Common signs can include redness, swelling, discharge, squinting, and excessive blinking.

For her discomfort, Bitsy received a pain injection along with a trial of gabapentin to help with her tense, uncomfortable abdomen. ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿถ

After all that poking, prodding, and pampering, weโ€™re hoping this little girl is feeling much more comfortable and is back to her sassy Chihuahua self in no time! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿพ

Feel better soon, Bitsy! ๐Ÿ’—

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™ Meet Sailor! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Sailor is a handsome 6-year-old male Schipperke! These small but energetic Belgian pups were traditionally known as watchdogs aboard barges and Sailor certainly has plenty of personality! ๐Ÿถโš“๏ธ

Sailor came to WVRC Racine/Kenosha after developing swelling around his eyes along with noticeable discharge. Dr. Holub performed several diagnostics, including a fluorescein stain. ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

This test uses an orange dye and a cobalt-blue light to help identify damage, foreign objects, or infections on the surface of the eye.

Sailor was diagnosed with blepharitis, a common, non-contagious inflammatory condition that can cause redness, irritation, swelling, and crusting around the edges of the eyelids.

Thankfully, Sailor headed home with medications to help soothe his eyes and get those eyelids feeling and looking much better! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿพ

We hope this sweet boy is back to his happy, energetic self very soon! ๐Ÿฅฐ

๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™ Meet Rex and Luna! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Luna first came to WVRC Racine/Kenosha to support her big brother, Rex, who was being seen for a bothersome cough. Rex was treated and sent home, but the very next day, Luna started experiencing the same symptoms. ๐Ÿฅบ

It turns out this Frenchie duo had both come down with kennel coughโ€”a highly contagious respiratory infection that can spread quickly, especially in crowded environments like kennels, daycare facilities, and dog parks.

Both Rex and Luna were prescribed medications and advised to get plenty of rest while they recover. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿถ

Weโ€™re sending lots of love and belly rubs to this adorable brother-and-sister duo and hoping theyโ€™re feeling much better soon! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿพ Meet Pimples, a one-of-a-kind pup with a history as unique as his name! ๐Ÿพ

This handsome 13-year-old Peruvian Inca Orchid, also known as โ€œPimp,โ€ is an ancient hairless breed originating from Peru. ๐Ÿ•โœจ

Pimples visited WVCR for lethargy, hypersalivation, and coughing. He was treated with fluids, anti-nausea medication, and cough medication before being discharged with close monitoring at home. Weโ€™re all hoping this handsome senior is feeling much better after his treatments! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿบ Fun Fact! The Peruvian Inca Orchid can be found depicted on ancient pre-Incan pottery dating all the way back to 750 CE. Thatโ€™s more than 1,200 years ago! ๐Ÿคฏ Talk about an old-school doggo!

Weโ€™d love to know: What ancient dog breed is your favorite? ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿพ Everyone, take a moment to appreciate Stella! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿพ

This adorable 10-month-old French Bulldog visited WVRC Racine/Kenosha for some pesky ear troubles, including frequent scratching and head shaking. ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿถ

Dr. Bajwa knew just what to do! After an ear cytology revealed a noticeable ear infection, Stella was sent home with ear medication to help get those ears feeling happy and healthy again. ๐Ÿฉบโœจ

Now, Stellaโ€™s only assignment is to enjoy plenty of loving ear scratches from here on out! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿ‘‚ HOT TIP: Healthy Ears Matter!
โœ”๏ธ Use a vet-approved ear cleaning solution
โœ”๏ธ Clean gently with cotton balls
โœ”๏ธ Massage the base of the ear gently
๐Ÿšซ Never insert cotton swabs deep into the ear canal

Give Stella a round of applause for being such a good girl! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’—
