*Graphic photo warning*

Gypsy is a 2 year old sweetheart who originally came to see us because she wasn’t feeling very well, hiding from her mom, not eating, and vomiting.

Upon physically examination the doctor noticed Gypsy had a fever and a very sore abdomen so bloodwork and radiographs were recommended.

The bloodwork revealed she had a severe infection and the radiographs showed an enlarged uterus. With all the information together the doctor was able to narrow the problem down to Pyometra.

Pyometra is a life-threatening infection in the uterus. A uterus with Pyometra will become inflamed and distended with bacteria and pus which is painful for the pet. The best way to make sure your female cat or dog never experiences this is to get them fixed! It’s infections like this that make us say just how important it is to get your pets fixed.

The fastest and most guarantied way to fix Gypsy’s problem was to spay her (take the uterus out) so she wasn’t in pain anymore. She has since fully recovered and we are so glad to see her doing so well 🩷

This handsome little guy is Tombstone!

He got his name because he wandered out of a graveyard as a little stray. Tombstone decided he didn’t want to be alone anymore so as soon as a vehicle pulled up he jumped in and refused to leave! We are so happy he has a loving home now 🩵

No you’re not seeing double, there is 2 of them.

These little munchkins are Diego and Dora! Diego is more of a laid back guy who doesn’t mind getting some human love but Dora is ALWAYS on the go. She is a free spirit who doesn’t want to be held back and will protest even if you just want to love her. We can’t wait to see how the change and grow 🩵🩷

We absolutely love having her on our team!

Join us in welcoming Dr. Emily Russ to the NVA Canada family at Hermitage Veterinary Hospital in Edmonton!
Dr. Russ started in August and is thrilled to be back in Edmonton, eager to learn from the incredible Hermitage team, and excited to dive into NVA Canada’s mentorship program. When she’s not caring for pets, you might find her horseback riding, hiking, or travelling with her fiancé, Eric, an airline pilot!
At home, she’s got Lexy, her sorrel mare, and Betty, a rescue cat with a touching backstory. We’re so excited to have her on board! 💙💚

Everyone meet Nym!

She first came to us at about 2 months old as a stray found outside. Even though her start to life was a little rocky, you would never be able to tell!

We are so happy we get to see her grow and thrive in her loving home 🩷

Even though it doesn’t seem too hot outside compared to the 30 above, your vehicle is still a dangerous place to leave your pets!

If you see any pets that have been left in a vehicle you can always call 311 and if they are in active distress you can call 911.

Please keep your pets safety a priority even when you don’t think it’s that hot out!
