Vet Nurse mic'd up: Librela Injection 🐾🎙️

From getting our patient comfortable to explaining what Librela is, why it’s used, and what the injection process looks like, here's a behind the scenes look at one of our everyday appointments.

Librela is an injection used to help manage osteoarthritis pain in dogs, helping improve comfort and mobility for pups dealing with joint pain. 🐶

And honestly… getting to spend a little extra time with these sweet faces is just what makes our job special!!

Oh, we’re in WORK work mode.😭 😂

Ever wondered what actually happens to your pet’s heartworm test once it reaches the lab? 🧪🐶

Take a behind the scenes look with our lab nurse as she walks you through the heartworm testing process, from collecting the blood sample, to running the test, to reading the results.

Routine heartworm testing is an important part of keeping your pet healthy, and there’s a whole process happening behind the scenes to get those results!

Meet Chico, the sweetest 8 month old Bengal cat. A few days ago, this little guy came through our ER in critical condition- weak, unresponsive, and fighting to stay stable.

With intensive care, round-the-clock monitoring, and the dedication of our amazing hospital team, he slowly started to turn a corner. Chico was diagnosed with neurologic FIP, a serious and challenging disease, and still has a road ahead of him.

But he’s now stable enough to continue his recovery at home and we couldn’t be happier to see him walking out in his little bandana!! 🤍

From a very scary ER arrival to going home… what a difference a few days can make.🐾
