Bonnie Bennett came to see us after her owner noticed she just wasn’t acting like herself. Subtle changes, acting off, inappropriate urination but enough to know something wasn’t right. After an ultrasound, Bonnie was diagnosed with a pyometra, a serious uterine infection that can develop after a heat cycle and quickly become life threatening if left untreated.

She was taken to surgery with Dr. Johns to remove the infected uterus and thankfully, everything went smoothly.
Just one day later, Bonnie was able to go home to her family 💛

Cases like this are a good reminder that even small changes in behavior can signal something much more serious.

If your pet seems “off,” trust your instincts, we’re here 24/7 when it matters most.

April is heartworm awareness month. Heartworm disease is one of those things we wish we saw less of… but unfortunately, we don’t.

Mosquito bites may seem harmless, but they can transmit heartworms that live in the heart and lungs and by the time symptoms show up, it can already be very serious.

We see cases where pets come in struggling to breathe, lethargic, or suddenly not acting like themselves and heartworm disease is sometimes the underlying cause.
The hard part? It’s completely preventable.
A monthly preventative is simple, affordable, and can save your pet from a life threatening emergency.

If your pet is showing signs like coughing, fatigue, or difficulty breathing, don’t wait! We’re here 24/7 if you need us.

Tye’s family noticed something wasn’t right when he was crying in the litter box… then suddenly screaming in pain and unable to get comfortable. That’s your cue 🚨, this is NOT something to “wait and see.”

Tye was diagnosed with a urinary blockage (aka he physically couldn’t p*e), which is one of the most serious emergencies we see in cats.

Think of it like this:
🚫 No p*e = nowhere for toxins to go
⚠️ Those toxins build up FAST and can become life threatening within hours

Our team quickly stepped in, placing a urinary catheter under anesthesia to relieve the blockage and flush everything out. After a few days of IV fluids, monitoring, and lots of TLC, Tye was back to doing what he does best, being a cute fella!

💡 Signs to watch for at home:
• Frequent trips to the litter box with little/no output
• Crying or straining when trying to urinate
• Lethargy or hiding
• Vomiting or not eating

If you notice any of these—don’t wait. This is an emergency.

We’re so proud of you, Tye 💙 and so glad you’re back home where you belong.

🚨 March is National Pet Poison Prevention Month
And if there’s one thing we see too often in the ER… it’s toxins hiding in plain sight.

From everyday medications to certain foods and household items, many of the most dangerous exposures happen right at home and symptoms can escalate fast.

At VEHM, we treat these cases when they’ve already become critical. If your pet has ingested something questionable or is showing signs like vomiting, tremors, lethargy, or unusual behavior, don’t wait!
⏱️ Minutes matter.

We’re here 24/7 to provide immediate, life saving care when your pet needs it most.
📍 If you’re unsure, come in. It’s always better to be safe than sorry!

🐾 From not eating… to going home. Meet George.

George came to see Dr. Hudzik after several days of not wanting to eat, something we never want to ignore, especially in pets with underlying conditions. With a history of diabetes and fatty liver disease, his case quickly became more serious than it seemed on the surface.

After evaluation, George was diagnosed with Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) and pancreatitis, both life threatening complications that require immediate, intensive care.

He was hospitalized with our emergency team for 3 days, receiving:
• IV fluids for stabilization
• Continuous insulin therapy
• Close monitoring of blood sugar & electrolytes

💛 With time, dedication, and a whole lot of strength, George began to turn a corner.
Today, he’s back home with his family where he belongs.

⚠️ A gentle reminder to pet owners:
If your pet stops eating, seems lethargic, or “just isn’t acting like themselves,” it can be a sign of something more serious, especially in pets with conditions like diabetes.
We’re so grateful to Cheree for trusting us with George’s care and for sharing his story with others.

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the VEHM team! 🍀

While today may be full of lucky charms and celebrations, some holiday traditions can be a little less lucky for our pets. If your furry friend gets into something they shouldn’t, our emergency team is here when you need us most.

🚑 We are OPEN and operating under our standard emergency hours.

A few St. Patrick’s Day pet safety tips:
• Keep alcohol and festive drinks out of reach, even small amounts can be toxic to pets!
• Avoid sharing rich or fatty party foods that can cause stomach upset or pancreatitis
• Watch out for decorations, beads, and shamrocks that curious pets may try to chew or swallow
• Be mindful of plants and clover arrangements that could be harmful if ingested

If your pet is experiencing vomiting, lethargy, difficulty breathing, or you suspect they’ve eaten something unsafe, don’t wait, seek emergency care right away!

🍀 Wishing you and your pets a safe, happy, and lucky St. Patrick’s Day!

Kittens grow quickly and proper nutrition plays a huge role in keeping them healthy during those first critical months of life!

When kittens receive the nutrients they need, you’ll often notice some clear signs of good health: bright eyes, steady growth, lots of energy and a super soft, glossy coat.

However, if your kitten seems lethargic, isn’t growing as expected, has persistent vomiting or diarrhea, or suddenly stops eating, it may signal something more serious that requires medical attention.
At Veterinary Emergency Hospital of Midlothian, our team is here when unexpected health concerns arise and your pet needs immediate care.

Because when it comes to our smallest patients, every moment of good health matters. 🐾

When Flea arrived, he was struggling to breathe. 16 hours later, he was able to go home.
Flea came to see Dr. Childers after his family noticed he was having trouble breathing (something we always take very seriously).

Our team quickly triaged Flea for radiographs (x-rays), IV catheter placement and a mild sedative to help him breathe more comfortably. He was then placed in a Snyder oxygen cage to support his breathing while we worked to determine what was going on.
Diagnostics showed that Flea’s congestive heart failure (CHF) had progressed, causing fluid to build up in his lungs. Flea was hospitalized on oxygen and treated with frequent injections of Furosemide, a diuretic used to help remove fluid from the lungs and improve breathing.

After about 16 hours of hospitalization and close monitoring, Flea improved enough to come off oxygen and head home with his family.
Breathing emergencies can escalate quickly, and we’re so glad we were able to help Flea when he needed it most!🐶💙

Thank you to Flea’s owner, Larry, for trusting our team with his care and allowing us to share his story.

March is here, Spring Is around the corner… and so is shedding season.

Longer days, warmer temps, and a whole lot of extra fur on your floors. While seasonal shedding is completely normal, spring also brings an increase in allergies, skin irritation, and unexpected reactions for some pets.

If your pet’s shedding is paired with:
• Excessive scratching
• Red or inflamed skin
• Sudden hair loss in patches
• Lethargy or unusual behavior

Don’t wait it out. Our emergency team is here 24/7/365 when something doesn’t feel right.

Here’s to sunnier days and knowing where to turn if spring takes an unexpected turn. 🌷
