Every patient we care for is unique. Each has their own personality, comfort level, and medical needs, which is why individualized care is at the heart of everything we do.

This sweet patient was oxygen-dependent and needed a catheter change. To minimize stress and ensure he continued receiving the oxygen he needed, our veterinary technicians, Jocelyn and Sydney, climbed into his oxygen enclosure to perform the procedure while keeping him calm and comfortable.

It's moments like these that reflect the dedication of our team. We know that no one ever wants their pet to need emergency or specialty care, but when they do, our doctors and technicians go above and beyond to provide not only exceptional medical treatment, but also the compassion and comfort every patient deserves.

Because healing isn't just about medicine; it's about meeting every patient where they are and doing whatever it takes to help them feel comfortable.

Compassionate care is at the heart of everything we do. ❤️

Together, we helped save Amelia! Thanks to Frankie’s Friends’ Paw It Forward Fund, Amelia was able to receive the lifesaving treatment she needed at Bay State Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Services.

Her family shared this heartfelt message:
“I couldn’t be more grateful to have heard about this organization and what they do to help so many in need. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all!”

How does the Paw It Forward Fund work?
The fund helps families who demonstrate financial need and have pets requiring critical care. While assistance is available after initial diagnostics have been paid for, the fund can be a lifeline for pets who need lifesaving emergency or specialty care.

Your donation can help keep pets healthy, safe, and with the families who love them. Together, we can bridge the gap between what is medically possible and what is financially possible for pets in need.

Angela was brought to the Emergency Service at Bay State Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Services by Providence Animal Control after she was found outside, unable to walk. When Angela arrived, she was suffering from significant malnutrition, muscle and weight loss, and several neurologic abnormalities, including disorientation, difficulty standing and walking, loss of balance, and abnormal movements while eating. Our team also identified increased liver and gallbladder values, which were suspected to be related to her malnutrition, as well as low protein levels. She was treated for fleas and carefully monitored while in our care.

We were able to scan Angela's microchip and identify her owners. Angela had been missing for four weeks! As soon as they were reunited, Angela seemed to perk up! Thankfully, her neurologic signs began to improve. After being closely monitored by our team for 24 hours, Angela was discharged to her family with a refeeding plan and continued care at home. We are so happy we could help Angela get back to the people who love her!

Thank you to the Providence Animal Control Center for working together to care for the pets of Southern New England and helping us get Angela home! 🫶

We officially have babies! Baby turtles, that is!

Earlier this year, a snapping turtle laid her eggs in our employee parking lot, something she has done for the past two years! Since we knew the eggs were in an area where they could potentially be run over, our team kept a close eye on them and made sure they remained safe. Now, the wait is over… they’ve officially hatched!

We welcomed 23 tiny baby turtles into the world, and our team carefully helped them make their way to a safe space where they can hopefully grow, thrive, and flourish in the wild.

We’re so happy to have played a small part in giving these little guys a safe start to life! Good luck, little turtles! We’ll be cheering you on from afar! 💚

What began as a terrifying accident quickly became a race against time. Jill's leash became trapped under a vehicle tire, causing traumatic strangulation. When the car door couldn't be opened, it had to be broken to free her. She was rushed to our Emergency Department, where our team immediately sprang into action. Upon arrival at Bay State Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Services, Jill was frightened and struggling to breathe. She had reddened eyes, harsh lung sounds, increased respiratory effort, and was coughing up blood-tinged fluid. Diagnostic testing revealed dehydration, stress-related changes in her bloodwork, and severe abnormalities in her lungs consistent with non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema - a life-threatening buildup of fluid in the lungs that can occur after a choking or strangulation event.

Under the care of our emergency clinicians, Dr. Miller, Dr. Nelson, and Dr. LaFountain, plus our emergency team, Jill was placed on supplemental oxygen therapy and was monitored closely. As her condition worsened, she required high-flow oxygen to maintain adequate oxygen levels. During her hospitalization, she also developed a fever potentially due to aspiration pneumonia, requiring close monitoring and continued intensive care, including antibiotic therapy. For five days, Jill received around-the-clock treatment and monitoring in our ICU. Thanks to the dedication of our doctors, technicians, and technician assistants, she slowly began to improve. She was eventually weaned off oxygen, started eating on her own, and was finally well enough to go home to continue her recovery with her family.

Jill's story is a powerful reminder that emergencies can happen in an instant, but with rapid intervention and advanced critical care, remarkable recoveries are possible. We're so grateful to have been part of Jill's journey and wish her continued healing and many happy, healthy adventures ahead!

Help us celebrate Briana Pacheco, a veterinary student at NC State University, Class of 2027, who recently completed an externship at Bay State Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Services!

During her time with us, Briana had the opportunity to work alongside multiple specialty teams, gaining valuable hands-on experience across a variety of disciplines and expanding her clinical knowledge.

Briana shared a special thank you to Dr. Meredith Nelson for teaching her new skills and encouraging her to grow as a veterinary student. She also expressed her gratitude to the entire Bay State team for creating such a welcoming and supportive environment—one that reaffirmed her passion for veterinary medicine and reminded her that she is exactly where she’s meant to be.

We are so grateful to have been part of Briana’s veterinary journey and wish her continued success as she works toward her DVM! Keep learning, keep growing, and keep making a difference, Briana! 💙
