Nina, the cute little 8 week old Border Collie puppy who stayed with us for a couple days.
Feel better sweet girl!

Our team helped bring these 8 little babies into the world yesterday! 💕

Anybody recognize this guy? Samson waited until his family went on vacation this time to eat something inappropriate… he had his FIFTH foreign body surgery this week. 😩 He’s recovering well at home now, and his mom is VERY thankful for Trupanion insurance! 💕

Feel better little man!

Little Biffy had the whole clinic laughing this morning with his antics. This adorable Scottish Fold was as sweet as he is cute. 😍 He thinks he’s a people, and sat very politely with his hands in his lap.

Welcome, 2025! Hope you are all having a safe and happy new year. 🥳🥳🥳

We are open 24/7 if you need to visit us with your pet, but please remember that wait times can be increased on holidays so bringing a book or phone charger is recommended! 📚 Thanks for your patience!

The new year is almost upon us! It’s time to reflect and think about what we’d like to accomplish in the coming year. If your pet was going to make a resolution, what would it be? 🥳

We are seeing a marked increase in pancreatitis cases after the Christmas holidays! New treats, table scraps, and bones are the biggest culprits for landing many dogs in the ER with GI upset. Pancreatitis is a painful condition usually characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and inappetence. If your pet is showing these signs, please have them evaluated right away! Pancreatitis can range from mild (some outpatient medications) to severe (intensive care in the hospital for several days) so it is important to have them evaluated sooner rather than later. 🏥

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday with family, friends and of course all your furry family members!

We are open in case you need us!

Merry Christmas Eve

When some cold winter hazards land you in emergency with some sore cold paws we try to make some light of the situation and keep you in the festive spirit. This sweet girl suffered some frost bite the other night and went home with some pretty cool bandages, if we do say so ourselves.

Reminder we are open for the holidays but we ask again that you be patient with us during these busy times.

Stay safe everyone!

💥 TRIVIA ANSWER 💥
Guess the Foreign Body post from yesterday, if you didn’t see it go check it out! There were some great guesses.

Sweet Gigi, she ended up eating a large chunk of Corncob 🌽 which caused an obstruction in her small intestines. This girl did great through surgery and is home recovering with her family for the holidays.

Guess the Foreign Body!

Sweet little Gigi, a young Cane Corso we had in earlier this week, was taken to surgery to remove a foreign object from her small intestines. Can you guess what it was? Stay tuned for the answer tomorrow at noon!

Happy Saturday from our new friend Finley! Even though Finley is a young dog, he’s been through a lot medically. Thankfully, his people have always been committed to his well-being and have him insured with Trupanion. This means when something comes up, they can rest assured knowing that they can provide gold standard care for Finley! ❤️ We were happy to have this lovely little guy stay with us, but we’re so glad he got to home to his worried parents.

It’s a good thing Samson is soooo adorable … 🥰 Cause he’s a bad bad boy! Sammy is recovering from his FOURTH bowel obstruction surgery at KVEC. 😩 Another few days in hospital and he’ll be ready to head home. 🏠❤️

11/22/2024

Happy Friday from little W***y! He and RVT Drew had many snuggles last night when he came in for a swollen muzzle. After a few medications, and listening to evening hospital rounds in the laps of all the staff members, W***y was good as new. ❤️

Sweet Sunny!☀️
This little girl was the bright happy puppy everyone needed to get through our day yesterday! Hope you are feeling better little lady. 🐾 💕

UPDATE - Shiloh’s owners have come for him 🥳

Anybody in the Peterborough area missing this little guy? He was found near Airport Road in town, and seems to be an older gentleman. He is very sweet and we are sure someone is out there looking for him. In the meantime, he’s safe and warm. Please call the clinic if you have any further information about him. ❤️

Roo 😍
This sweet boy was in yesterday with an upset stomach. With a few medications and some supportive care this boy should be back to his normal self hopefully soon!

Who doesn’t love a little kitten snuggle?! 💕 Peter is the snuggle king 👑

Another amazing blood donation from Bubbles, who belongs to our receptionist Susan. Bubbles is the sweetest girl, laying there not sedated and getting all the love! #savinglivesoneblooddonationatatime

Thank you so much to our incredible staff pet blood donor Duke who came in with his Mom the other day to help save a life. ❤️🩸 Duke was sedated for this collection, but woke up like nothing ever happened and received fluids under the skin equivalent to what we took to help him recover.

We’d like to close out 2023 with a heartwarming video of a little dog named Ruby, who unfortunately had a very scary and intensive stay in our ICU. Ruby had an anaphylactic reaction which caused her to bleed into her belly, and she needed a transfusion. She was hospitalized for many days but between her incredibly dedicated parents and our hardworking staff, Ruby has recovered enough to be discharged home. 💗 Working in the ER often means we see a lot of critical and unfortunate cases, who don’t always have as good an outcome as Ruby, so we celebrate when we can! 👏🏼 Wishing all of our clients a safe and Happy New Year! 🎇

Dr. Burns is expecting a baby in January, and the staff are split down the middle on what she is having. We tried the pendulum test using some suture material with inconclusive results. She has been craving salty (boy). 💙 She has had a lot of nausea (girl). 🩷 She has had clear skin (boy). 💙 She has been moodier (girl). 🩷 She is carrying high (boy). 💙 Baby’s heart rate is over 140 (girl). 🩷 What does everyone else think she’s having? 👶🏻
