💚🌍Happy Earth Day! 🌍💚

As veterinary professionals, we see firsthand how closely animal health is tied to the health of our planet.

A healthy planet is essential for the pets and families we love!

Today is a reminder that caring for animals also means caring for the environment we all share.

This sweet calico kitten named Pilot took a dive off of a plant stand in her owner's home and unfortunately her leg became trapped in the framework of the stand! In an effort to free herself, Pilot broke her tibia and fibula! 😮Ouch!

Pilot has undergone surgical repair and is on crate rest while her leg heals. We are sure entertaining a kitten on crate rest is no small feat for her family!

Here is Pilot getting some warm cuddles from surgery nurse Jennifer!

Important Update

Effective immediately, all patients visiting Metropolitan Veterinary Specialists & Emergency Service must arrive wearing appropriate footwear.

That’s right—no shoes, no service! We’ve noticed an alarming increase in bare-paw appointments, and quite frankly, it’s time we raise our standards.

✅Sneakers
✅Booties
✅Crocs (for our distinguished feline clients)

❌No more muddy paws
❌No more "they refused to put them on” excuses
❌No more crocs without sport mode

Our front desk team will be conducting strict paw inspections upon arrival. Repeat offenders may be asked to browse our new in-house Paw-some Boutique™ (coming soon… maybe).

Thank you for helping us keep our floors clean and our patients stylish.

Happy April Fools Day! 😜

🐻Feel Good Friday!🐻

Continuing with this week's puppy love, we have Winnie! This round little bear cub has had a whirlwind of a week!

A good Samaritan found a little black puppy lost in Bardstown, KY. He picked her up and took her into a nearby store to see if anyone knew her owner. After a quick evaluation and some puppy love, they discovered the puppy couldn't walk on her rear leg. The person who found the puppy wasn't interested in adopting her, so the store owners made the call: Winnie, as she is now named, was coming home with them and receiving vet care ASAP!

They took Winnie to their routine veterinarian who took radiographs and confirmed that Winnie had a broken femur causing her pain. With some pain management administered, Winnie was sent home to rest before coming to MVSES to evaluate how to fix a growth plate fracture on such a young puppy.

MVSES boarded surgeon Dr. Aric Applewhite successfully realigned the fracture and stabilized her leg. Winnie is recovering wonderfully—her incision looks great, she is eating well, and she has even mastered the art of resting upside down. We are happy to share that yesterday Winnie went home to start her new life with her new family.

Between the sweet story, the puppy love, and the successful surgery, we are all Feelin' Good!

We interrupt your scrolling to show you this itty bitty perfect little CoCo puff!😍😍😍

CoCo is a little 0.5kg Chihuahua puppy who had a sudden collision with a pet in her new home, and ended up in the ER. CoCo presented with a traumatic brain injury and required hospitalization at MVSES. Emergency service veterinarian, Dr. Wagoner, took on Coco's case and gave her all the care (and cuddles!) that Coco needed to make a recovery!

This sweet little lady had us all swooning over her! We are happy to report that Miss CoCo was discharged and able to follow up care with her primary care veterinarian!

Watch your head little one! We hope you've learned to duck and roll ;)
