Today’s Sunday sidekick spotlight goes to Beauden! The very handsome rottie🥹

Beauden has just turned 8, and he’s about 120 lbs. It’s quite the jump compared to when he was 10 weeks old and 22lbs.

According to mom “When he’s not sleeping, he’s smacking me to scratch his butt, or creating skipping hazards with his puddles of drool from staring at my food. He was also named after the New Zealand All blacks rugby player, Beauden Barrett. He loves the snow and to dress up.”

AEH loves to spotlight our employees sidekicks at home because loving animals isn’t just our job — it’s who we are.

Many of you may know the story of Diesel,

Diesel went missing on December 7th, 2025 and was found February 4th, 2026. Through the coldest nights of winter, through snow and freezing temperatures, this boy survived on pure strength and the hope of finding his way home.

While his family searched and prayed, Diesel was out there fighting every single day. He had unimaginable strength, and even though he had been through something so devastating he was still the sweetest boy!

Diesel needed hospitalization to help him safely recover. He received stabilization care, warming support, IV fluids, and careful re-feeding to make sure his body could adjust after everything he endured.

And it truly takes a village. Because of this community, Diesel received the lifesaving hospitalization and care he needed. We are so thankful for every share, donation, and kind word towards Diesel’s family!

And today? Diesel is doing well at home, he’s back where he belongs in the arms of the family who never stopped loving or looking for him.

Welcome home, Diesel. You are one tough boy. 🐾❄️

Today’s story is about a handsome fella named Clark. One of our employees fell in love with Clark when he was here and decided to adopt him! He’s had quite the long journey in the past six months, here’s the story from dad himself:

“Six months ago, I brought Clark home after he was surrendered to a rescue organization for a urinary obstruction. He had already lost a hind limb as a kitten, but somehow, that never took away his light. From day one, he’s been the sweetest, goofiest, most wonderfully derpy little soul. 💛

At just 3 years old, Clark recently suffered two more urinary obstructions. When I found out he needed surgery to correct his urethral issues, my heart sank. It was a life-saving procedure I simply could not afford.

What happened next still brings me to tears.

Without telling me, my coworkers quietly came together and raised the funds for his surgery. And Dr. Amanda Jones came in on her day off to perform it.

Because of them, Clark is now 3 weeks post-op and thriving.

This adorable three-legged cat, who has already endured so much, has touched more hearts than I ever imagined. He is here because of compassion, generosity, and people who chose to care.

I will never have the words to fully express my gratitude to the incredible doctors and staff at Animal Emergency Hospital in Bel Air, MD. Clark is so very loved — and so very lucky.”

Clark is doing very well and is home resting comfortably. AEH truly feels like family — we care deeply for our clients and just as much for each other.

🚨 Pyometra: A Life-Threatening Emergency in Unspayed Pets 🚨

Pyometra is a serious uterine infection that can affect unspayed female dogs and cats. It often develops weeks to months after a heat cycle and can become life-threatening very quickly.

🐾 Common signs include:
• Lethargy or weakness
• Loss of appetite
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Increased drinking and urination
• Abdominal discomfort
• Vaginal discharge (may be absent in “closed” pyometra)

⚠️ Why it’s dangerous:
Bacteria and toxins can enter the bloodstream, leading to sepsis, organ failure, and death if not treated promptly.

💉 Treatment usually requires emergency surgery and intensive care.

Spaying is the only reliable way to prevent pyometra. If your pet is unspayed and showing any of these signs, seek emergency care immediately.

When the snowstorm hit and our team stayed at the hospital caring for ICU patients and emergencies, some very important coworkers tagged along. From “working remotely” out of kennels to supervising the front desk, these furry employees provided top-tier morale, emotional support, and tail wags.

Pay rate: treats.
Dress code: pajamas.
Job performance: 12/10.

💙Thank you to everyone on our team who came together to make it through the stormy weekend. So many of you stayed multiple nights, switching off and on to sleep in the hospital, all to ensure we could continue caring for a hospital packed with ICU patients while still keeping up with incoming emergencies.

A huge thank-you to those who shoveled, cleared cars, and helped keep the building and parking areas safe—and to those who braved the walk over the road to Wawa to fuel the team with fresh, hot snacks and much-needed coffee ☕️🥪.

To the doctors, technicians, and CSRs who stayed in the hospital for multiple days, rotating rest when possible and always putting patients first: your dedication, teamwork, and compassion truly define this hospital.

We are incredibly proud of you. Amazing teamwork ❤️❤️❤️

❄️ Snow Ingestion: A Winter Safety Reminder for Pets ❄️

Snow can be fun to play in—but eating snow may not be safe for pets. While small amounts in moderation may be okay, ingesting snow repeatedly or in large quantities can cause health concerns. 🐾

Why eating snow can be risky:
• Snow may contain ice melt, salt, antifreeze, fertilizers, or other chemicals
• Large amounts can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach irritation
• Cold snow can contribute to lowering body temperature, especially in small or short-haired pets
• Excessive ingestion can cause water intoxication, which can be life-threatening

Pets at higher risk:
• Dogs that bite at snow while running or playing
• Pets that love catching snowballs or digging in drifts
• Puppies, kittens, small breeds, and senior pets

How to keep snow play safer:
• Discourage repetitive snow eating during play
• Offer fresh water during walks and outdoor time
• Keep snow play short, supervised, and with breaks
• Monitor for warning signs: vomiting, bloating, lethargy, disorientation, or coordination issues

If your pet eats a large amount of snow or shows concerning symptoms, seek veterinary care promptly—especially during extreme cold when complications can progress quickly.

Enjoy the snow, but help keep winter play safe and balanced. 💙🐶🐱
