This morning I had the privilege of treating Dixie who has been in the care of Mid Atlantic Pug Rescue for several months. She has recovered from aspiration pneumonia and a sever corneal ulcer. Dixie has been a wonderful patient. This clever little girl found her forever home! This morning was her last treatment. She was out cold and snoring loudly by the end. Good luck in your new home, little love bug!

Siblings Tica and Rooney rounding out my boxer patients this week. They snooze 💤 hard during treatments.

Not One More Vet is an organization dedicated to preventing su***de within the veterinary profession. For the month of May NOMV is doing a fundraiser called Race Around The World. Participants engage in some form of physical activity to raise money to support NOMV which provided emergency funds, counseling resources and so much more. My goal was to swim 25 miles in May. I have exceeded that goal. There are three days left in the fundraiser and I am a little short of reaching my goal. Please consider contributing to this cause that is near and dear to my heart.
