With heavy hearts, we sadly announce the passing of our clinic cat Tigger
Tigger has been a huge part of Family Pet Hospital team and we know she will be missed by so many.
Tigger came into our care in January 2015 as an owner surrender and she was a perfect fit for our team! Tigger’s tail was amputated at a young age due to an injury that led her to have spinal damage that effected the way she could use her bladder and wasn’t able to empty it completely by herself. Being a part of our hospital, we knew she was going to have some special needs medically but we were more than happy taking care of her for as long as she needed.
Over the past 8 years, Tigger has touched so many lives whether you are a client, or a present or past employee. Tigger had a special way of knowing just what you need when you needed it. You could find her greeting clients, playing hide and seek behind exam doors, playing with her favorite honey suckle cushion on the lobby floor, napping in the vet office, rubbing up on any K9 client that would let her. She always knew which client needed to smile or laugh when their spirits were a little low or just sitting quietly beside, providing some extra comfort while they were worried about their fur baby.
We know that she will be welcomed over the bridge and greeted by all of our loved ones and pets that have crossed before her. She will tell them all how much we miss them and love them in her comforting way.
We encourage you to share your favorite Tigger memory

3-year-old Mylo broke his left front leg back in January of this year. His owner was referred to Family Pet Hospital from a clinic in Medicine Hat, and she made the long drive here to visit Dr. Jacob for Mylo’s surgery. Repairing a broken bone in such a small dog is always interesting, because the plate and screws we use are very small! Mylo came back in recently for his 9-week recheck, and he was running around as if the injury had never happened! His owner said it took about a week before he started putting weight back on the leg, which is normal for small dogs following this type of surgery. Seeing the patient and his owner so happy with the outcome was very rewarding, and Mylo’s curly tongue was making everyone smile! 🐶
"Pesto" had to come see us after swallowing a large piece of rawhide chew. He was repeatedly vomiting and was quite uncomfortable.
First, Dr. Kendra took X-rays to determine where the rawhide had become lodged. Unfortunately, it had become stuck in the esophagus just above the heart and we needed to get it out. Dr's. Kendra, Amin and Hanna, along with our technicians and assistants, worked together to anesthetize "Pesto" and pass our flexible endoscope to grab the rawhide. The procedure took a lot of patience!
Dr. Amin managed to pull the rawhide most of the way out with the the retrieval tool but had to reach in with his hand to get it the rest of the way out.
Other than a sore throat, "Pesto" is doing well!
