Meet Dr. Liza Sperry from Thrive Student Ambassador to future Dermatology Resident! 🐾👩‍⚕️

From volunteering with therapy horses, to saving a baby reindeer, to becoming a dermatology resident, Liza's path shows the incredible diversity in veterinary medicine.

But life isn't all stethoscopes and scrubs. When she's not caring for animals, you might find Liza shredding the slopes or playing cello. 🏂🎻

that it’s estimated that 1 out of every 4 dogs will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime? There are several clues that might indicate your dog has cancer ― and the sooner you spot them, the sooner they can be addressed. “As in humans, cancer is best treated when detected early,” Dr. Julie Bulman-Fleming, Thrive Pet Healthcare’s National Specialty Director of Oncology and Medical Director of Veterinary Cancer Group, told HuffPost this week.

Read up on what Dr. Bulman-Fleming says are the earliest signs of cancer in dogs at the link in our bio.

🐶 Lincoln Bounces Back! ❤️‍🩹

Meet Lincoln. He received a bite from a large dog and experienced a traumatic brain and head injury (TBI). He was initially stabilized by the emergency team at ACCESS Animal Hospital, a Thrive Pet Healthcare partner, and was administered fluids, antibiotics, pain medications, and drugs to reduce swelling in the brain.

Lincoln’s CT scan revealed skull fractures and a hematoma (aka bruise) on the brain. He also became anemic from the bleeding, so he received a blood transfusion. He stabilized, and the next day was transferred to the South Bay ACCESS location to have a craniectomy (brain surgery!). 🧠

Lincoln did amazingly through his surgery, which revealed a large abscess (infection) and hematoma under the skull. These were removed and flushed well, and Lincoln recovered! He is now home with his family, back to a happy (and healing) pup! 🥹
