🚨 Exotic ER Win! 🚨
DVM Max Rinaldi played hero to one very curious axolotl 🦎💗

This little aquatic adventurer managed to swallow a marble — which became lodged in its mouth and made eating impossible. Thankfully, Dr. Rinaldi was able to carefully remove the marble and get this slippery friend back on track!
Axolotls are known for being curious (and not-so-picky) eaters… which means if it fits in their mouth, they’ll often try it.

✨ Fun fact about Axolotls they are famous for their incredible ability to regenerate! They can regrow entire limbs, parts of their spinal cord, heart tissue, and even parts of their brain. Talk about superpowers! We’re happy to report our patient is recovering well and back to being adorably derpy — minus the marble!

🚨 Pet Emergency Prevention Tip: How Spaying & Neutering Can Help Avoid Emergency Vet Visits

Some of the most serious cases we see at emergency veterinary hospitals are preventable.

Spaying and neutering aren’t just about preventing unexpected litters; it also helps reduce the risk of serious, life-threatening emergencies, including:
• Pyometra, a dangerous uterine infection that often requires emergency surgery
• Emergency C-sections in unspayed dogs
• Injuries related to roaming, fighting, and trauma, such as being hit by a car
• Certain cancers later in life

Pets who are spayed or neutered are less likely to face these types of emergency situations, which means fewer urgent vet visits and less stress for both you and your pet. When it comes to pet emergencies, the best emergency visit is the one you never have to make. Talk with your primary care veterinarian about spay and neuter options to help keep your pet healthy and safe.

✨ FEATURE FRIDAY ✨
Meet Dr. Samuel Antillon, DVM

Why emergency veterinary medicine?

Because I couldn’t see myself doing anything else.
To be an advocate for the voiceless.
Because people are… a lot.
Because every case is different.
And because my dog’s knee surgery definitely wasn’t going to pay for itself. 😂

Smart, sarcastic (in the best way), and always in it for the patients—Dr. Sam brings heart, humor, and hustle to every shift. 💙

🚨 Pet Emergency Awareness: Stopping Bleeding Safely.

If your pet is bleeding, quick action can help keep them stable while you safely transport them to an emergency vet.

✔️ Place clean gauze directly over the wound
✔️ Apply steady pressure
✔️ Wrap gauze with vet wrap or medical wrap
✔️ Use your thumb as a spacer while wrapping to avoid making it too tight
✔️ Secure the edges with medical tape

Once bleeding is controlled, head straight to your nearest emergency veterinary hospital for immediate care. This is a temporary measure, and professional treatment is essential. Saving these steps now can make a difference when every second counts. 🐾

✨ FEATURE FRIDAY ✨
Meet Dr. Paula Lenhard, DVM

Dr. Lenhard doesn’t remember ever saying she wanted to be a veterinarian—though her mom insists she did. She followed the pre-vet path and found her home in emergency medicine.

She loves the fast pace, the variety of cases, and helping clients understand what’s happening while guiding them through tough decisions. ER medicine isn’t for everyone, but Dr. Lenhard can’t imagine doing anything else—and we’re lucky to have her on our team. 💙🐾

We know that unexpected veterinary visits can be expensive, and most families struggle to afford the care their pets need.

With rising, it's wise to plan ahead to cover unexpected costs and reduce the financial burden. Pet insurance is a great place to start. We love to recommend Pawlicy Advisor to our clients.

🚨 Pet Emergency Awareness: What Information Should I Have Ready?

When you’re rushing to the emergency vet, having key information ready can help your care team respond more quickly and focus on what matters most: your pet.

Before you arrive, try to have:
✔️ Your pet’s age, breed, and weight
✔️ What happened and when symptoms started
✔️ Current medications or medical conditions
✔️ Your regular vet’s name (and records if you have them)

We know emergencies are stressful. A little preparation can help your emergency team jump into action even faster. 🐾

Visiting an emergency veterinary hospital can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re worried about your pet and unsure what to expect. One of the most common questions we hear is, “Why is someone else being seen first?” When you arrive at an emergency veterinary hospital, every pet is checked in and assessed through a process called triage.

Triage allows the medical team to quickly evaluate each pet’s condition and prioritize care based on medical urgency, not arrival time. Pets with life-threatening conditions are treated first, while stable pets may need to wait. This helps ensure every patient receives the care they need as safely and effectively as possible.

We understand that waiting can be stressful, and we truly appreciate your patience. Our team is working hard to provide compassionate, appropriate care for every pet that comes through our doors.
