Thankful Thursday 🐾

Sweet Mia, a 10-year-old beagle, was hospitalized with us last week for severe aspiration pneumonia. Our team worked hard to support her recovery and keep her comfortable with oxygen therapy, IV fluids, antibiotics, and around-the-clock monitoring.

We're honored to care for patients like Mia, and grateful to the families who trust us when it matters the most. 💙
