Now that he has passed some good bowel movements after eating well during recovery, suggesting that things are moving well through his system, Tab is ready to go home! His droppings look mysteriously like Hershey’s Kisses…
Rumor has it he is heading back to the North Pole to ensure that all of the staff at PVEH have made it onto the nice list for all their loving care during his time at the clinic.

We can’t wait to see what mischief Tab gets up to next year… Happy Holidays Everyone!

Tab has settled quite comfortably into his kennel after his surgery, where he is receiving lots of love and attention while he recovers with IV fluids!

Today, Tab underwent surgery to remove that candy cane from his stomach! We promise he is recovering well so far and getting lots of attention from our team. Tab has also promised that in the future he will only have 1 candy cane a day – We don’t want this to happen again!

UH-OH – Take a look at that x-ray! No wonder Tab has had such a serious tummy ache – His stomach is full of candy canes!

12/13/2024

No wonder Tab has a stomach-ache! Our doctor caught tab getting up to no good in the exam room – he tried to eat the entire jar worth of treats. With this history of ingesting things, our doctor recommended some x-rays.

Time to get checked in – Tab completed his weigh-in on our dog scale at reception this morning.

12/07/2024

Today, our CCR team caught Tab trying to schedule himself in for an emergency consultation – He reports that he may have ingested 1 (or many) candy canes during his travels from the North Pole…

We are dropping a post here to introduce you to ‘Tab’ our clinic elf!

Tab made his long journey here from the North Pole to cause some merry mischief over the next few weeks. During his first appearance at the clinic, he surprised the PVEH team with some much-deserved pizza! Tune in over the next few weeks to see what other tricks Tab has up his sleeve!

If you have a mischievous elf visiting your house this December, we’d love to see some pictures below!

Edinburgh ("Edi" for short) feels that November 24 should be a holiday for everyone as it is National Border Collie Day!

Dr. Helmers is a little bit biased as Edi is her fur child, but she thinks Border Collies are one of the best breeds around!
Does Edi have any Border Collie friends around here? Share your photos!

What a team!!

We are SO LUCKY here at PVEH that all of these driven, talented and compassionate humans have decided to join our crew. We work some long and unsocial hours, spend holidays away from our families, deal with very busy days and handle a lot of heart break with our emergency cases, but we do it together. These amazing people have truly become a team over these past 8 months and it has been really great to see! Bring on the next 8 months, and the next, and the next!

A massive thank you to everyone in this photo, from Adrian and Megan. We could not do any of this without you all

Abby is here to say that you should always give 100% in everything you do, except when you are donating blood!!

We are officially launching our blood donor program here at PVEH, and we are looking for super hero pets to join our team!
If you think your pet could save some lives, and in you are interested in our program, please feel free to reach out to us

Exciting news!

Phases Veterinary Emergency Hospital will now be offering CT Imaging services to the pets in Kamloops and the surrounding regions.

It has been a difficult task getting this equipment imported, installed and inspected, and we are absolutely overjoyed to finally be able to bring this much needed service to our area!

This service will be available to patients in our hospital as needed, as well as on a referral basis from primary care veterinarians.

(Dr. Helmers' dog River was not quite as excited to be a model as her other dog Edi usually is, but she needed a chance in the spot light!)

RVT Appreciation Week gifts!
We treated our RVTs to personalized Stanley water cups to keep them hydrated while on shift, Lululemon hair clips so they can be a matching squad, hand written cards, notebooks for rounding hospital cases, and a few more little goodies
