🔬Ever wonder what we see under the microscope when we tell you your pet tested positive for parasites?
When our exotic patients come in for their annual exams, we often run in-house f***l tests to check for internal parasites (which we recommend annually). This is set up and evaluated by your vet techs!

These little round structures you see are parasite eggs (ova), each one can represent an entire life cycle happening inside your pet’s digestive tract! Identifying them helps your Doctor determine the right treatment.

Routine f***l testing is one of the simplest (and most important!) ways to keep your pet healthy, and keep those microscopic hitchhikers at bay 🪱

🎉 Happy National Veterinary Technician Week! 🩺🐾
This week, we celebrate the heart and hands behind every patient visit, our incredible veterinary technicians! 💚

From assisting in surgery and monitoring anesthesia, to nursing wildlife back to health, comforting nervous pets, running lab tests, and supporting our doctors, our techs truly do it all. Their dedication, compassion, and skill keep our hospital running smoothly every single day.

Please help us thank our amazing team for the endless care, late nights, and love they pour into every patient who walks (or hops, slithers, or flies) through our doors! 💚✨

Happy Turtle Tuesday! 🐢

This little man is Nuumite. He has one of the biggest personalities of all the Eastern box turtles we’ve gotten in! While many turtles would rather close themselves in their shells, Nuumite was always out and about (mainly looking for more food). Nuumite came in with an injured back foot that needed to be amputated.
After care from turtle tech Julie, Nuumite was given the green light and has been released!

Meet Julie! She is one of our amazing Tech’s! She’s been with us for about a year and brings the sweetest, calm energy to our patients.

At home, Julie’s crew keeps her busy: 3 dogs: Chloe, Maverick & Gus. 3 cats: Kit-Kat, Kitters & Eve, and 2 turtles: Dragonfruit & Ferb. 🐶🐱🐢

A few fun facts:
• Julie is a mom to an 18-year-old son 💙

With great sadness, the Jane Goodall Institute confirmed this morning the passing of the organization’s founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, age 91 who died peacefully in her sleep while in Los Angeles, CA for her speaking tour in the United States.

Dr. Goodall’s life and work not only made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, but also of humankind and the environments we all share. She inspired curiosity, hope and compassion in countless people around the world, and paved the way for many others — particularly young people who gave her hope for the future.

In 1960 Dr. Goodall established the longest running wild chimpanzee study in Gombe National Park, Tanzania which continues to this day. She pioneered and sustained the Jane Goodall Institute’s community-centered conservation initiatives across the chimpanzee range for over four decades. Her legacy includes the creation of JGI’s international environmental and humanitarian youth program Roots & Shoots, which is actively driving change in 75 countries and counting around the world.

The Jane Goodall Institute is incredibly grateful to all our supporters, partners, and friends, especially during this difficult time. To add a personal remembrance of Dr. Goodall and continue her legacy for future generations, please visit JaneGoodall.org/RememberingJane

A few fun facts about Courtney:
• She got engaged and married in Las Vegas recently! 🎉💍

And here’s a wild animal fact: squids have detachable pen*ses that can swim on their own to a mate. (Nature is fascinating, right?) 🦑

It’s Turtle Tuesday! 🐢

This big beauty is Cardboard Box. She came in with an injured shell after being struck by a vehicle. After several weeks of care from turtle tech Taylor, CB received a shell repair and has now been released!
As big as snapping turtles are, vehicle strikes occur all too often with them. We have had several snapper patients just this season. Make sure you’re staying vigilant while driving, you never know who could be crossing your path!
