As the social media manager, I am not in the clinic everyday. Tuesday, I was able to make it to the clinic, and wanted to take a look at all of our patients we had for the day. I made my way back to the kennels and almost immediately saw Razzy. At first, I could only stare with my hand over my mouth. As I processed her wounds, she stood there wagging her tail at me. I asked one of the kennel technicians what had happened, and they informed me that she had gotten into a fight with her sibling, whom did not survive. We do not know what provoked the fight. I opened Razzy’s kennel, and gently made my way inside. I sat there on her blankets, and she immediately jumped into my lap. This dog…. She is so happy. Despite her injuries and probable trauma, she keeps her spirits high. She has been fighting endlessly these past few weeks to survive, and it’s truly inspiring. I hope everyone gets to meet a Razzy in their life at some point. There’s just something about a soul like that that really touches something inside of you.

I took this picture of Sugar Bean back in July and recently came back across it. While planning her post, I decided to check up on her account to see how she had been doing. Unfortunately, sweet Sugar Bean has since passed away. I reached out to her momma, and this is what she had to say about Sugar Bean- “She was so good. She was my support animal. I got Sugar Bean as a rescue- she came into my life via my son. He had her brother, Buddy. She was my support animal while I was going through chemo and radiation. She liked chasing light beams all over the house, and loved to go visit her brother.”

Our hearts are with you 🤍

Today is Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day!

Lymphoma is a common cancer in people and dogs that affects the lymph nodes and lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is comprised of organs, tissues, and vessels. It is responsible for fighting infection and keeping a healthy level of fluids throughout the body.

While older dogs tend to be more predisposed to developing cancer, younger dogs can also be at risk. Understanding lymphoma can help owners come to terms with their dog’s condition, assisting them in making more informed decisions about their dog’s health.

Pets have the ability to greatly improve your mental health! Here are a few ways how they do that:

11/05/2025

Diabetes mellitus, or diabetes, is a common, treatable condition in both people and certain pets that occurs when the body can’t use glucose (a type of sugar) normally.

Diabetes in dogs and cats may occur at any age. However, diabetic dogs are usually 4 to 14 years old, and most are diagnosed at roughly 7 to 10 years old. Most diabetic cats are older than 6 years. Diabetes occurs in female dogs twice as often as male dogs, and certain breeds of dogs and cats may be predisposed to the condition.

These health factors can increase your pet’s risk of developing or having diabetes:

Obesity
Pregnancy
Pancreatic disease
Amyloidosis (cats)
Hyperthyroidism (cats)
Hypothyroidism (dogs)
Cushing’s disease (dogs)
Dental disease
Kidney disease (cats)
Urinary tract infections
Skin infections
Long-term use of steroid medications or progestin
Fortunately, diabetic dogs and cats can live long, comfortable lives with appropriate treatment and monitoring. It all starts with a visit to your veterinarian, and a commitment from you to take a few extra steps in caring for your pet.
