📣 Big news in osteosarcoma research!

Dr. Dan Regan and the CSU Animal Cancer Center are teaming up with the University of Colorado Cancer Center to tackle bone cancer from spreading to the lungs.

By studying lung fibroblasts, the cells that help osteosarcoma grow, they are exploring ways to stop them and hope their work could one day even reverse lung metastasis.

Look at this distinguished gentleman, here to spread the good word about clinical trials and cats with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) 😻✨

Milo came to us after his veterinarian at Sunshine Animal Hospital in Superior, CO, noticed he was unusually pale and anemic. Bloodwork confirmed IMHA, a serious condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks its own red blood cells.

Our team got him back on track with a life-saving blood transfusion through our Blood Bank, along with intensive supportive care. Milo also enrolled in our Feline IMHA Clinical Trial, which is currently open to new participants and is exploring two different treatment protocols using prednisolone and Atopica to find out what works best for cats with IMHA.

Milo is one of many patients helping shape the future of veterinary medicine through clinical trials. Because of animals like him—and the people who love them—we’re advancing care in real time.

One family has really touched our hearts. After their schnauzer, Addie, spent an extended stay in our critical care unit, they were so grateful for our team that they’ve generously pledged to provide lunch for us once a month for an entire year!

We’re truly humbled by their kindness. Here’s to teamwork, gratitude, and a little extra pizza in our hearts this season! 🍕🐾

Rollins is the dog who got a second chance after an unexpected diagnosis.

At first, his liver disease brought fear and uncertainty. But his family held onto hope.

A laparoscopic biopsy revealed copper-associated chronic hepatitis, a condition where copper builds up in the liver. With treatment to remove excess copper and support his liver, Rollins began to recover, and nearly two years later, he’s thriving.

This season reminds us what we’re thankful for: the chance to help pets like Rollins and the families who love them. Our collaborative clinical trial with UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine gives more dogs with this disease a path forward and offers families hope when they need it most.

💛 Rollins’ family now makes an annual donation to help others afford care for pets with liver disease. Their generosity is helping more dogs get the second chance he did.
