Not every fishing story ends at the lake… 🎣

This sweet Maine C**n kitten came into our clinic after an unfortunate encounter with a fishing hook, but thanks to quick treatment and plenty of TLC, this brave little fluffball is recovering beautifully. Cases like these are a reminder of how important it is to keep fishing gear safely stored away from curious pets.

We’re happy to report this handsome boy is soaking up all the extra cuddles from our team

⚠️Viewer Discretion Advised

An emergency C-section is one of the most time-sensitive and emotional procedures in veterinary medicine. Every second matters, and it takes a highly trained team working together quickly and carefully to give both mom and babies the best possible outcome. 🐾❤️

From monitoring anesthesia and preparing surgical equipment to assisting with delivery and helping each newborn take their first breaths, every team member plays an important role during these critical moments. Our doctors, technicians, assistants, and support staff work side by side with one goal in mind: keeping mom safe while giving every puppy the strongest start possible.

These procedures can happen unexpectedly, but preparation, communication, and teamwork make all the difference. We are so proud of our amazing emergency team and grateful to be part of such life-saving moments. 🩺✨

Could your pet survive the heat today?

Heat stroke can escalate quickly and become life-threatening before you even realize something is wrong. In this video, Dr. White from Animal Emergency Clinic of Northeast walks through what to watch for and how to act fast.

Early signs can include heavy panting, excessive drooling, vomiting, lethargy, or trouble walking. Some pets are at higher risk, especially flat-faced breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs, senior or overweight pets, and those with thick coats.

If you’re concerned, move your pet to a cool area, offer small sips of water, and use cool, not cold, water to help lower their temperature while you head in to see our emergency care team.

Prevention goes a long way. Avoid peak heat hours, never leave pets in a car, and make sure they always have access to shade and water. If you think your pet may be experiencing heat stroke, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.

Meet Jenna Mayer, Hospital Administrator at Eau Claire Animal Hospital in Wisconsin—someone who literally grew up inside the walls of the clinic she now leads. 🏥

From greeting clients by name to driving an elderly pet parent to the ER because he had no way to get there, Jenna leads with empathy, connection, and fierce dedication. She started as a receptionist nine years ago and now leads a high-performing, deeply rooted team with some members celebrating 10, 20, even 30 years at the hospital.

“I hope people remember my heart—that I poured everything into helping them grow and feel supported.” We’re proud to have Jenna as part of the Lakefield family.

For Jenna Mayer, veterinary medicine isn’t something she discovered—it’s something she grew up inside. Her mother, Jayne, was Eau Claire Animal Hospital’s (Eau Claire, WI) practice manager for 20 years and later owned the clinic prior to its transition to Lakefield. “I was raised here,” ...

Meet Vigo, our first Care Beyond Limits patient! Town and Country Animal Hospital recently helped the very first pet through Lakefield’s new Care Beyond Limits fund: a shoulder-riding, upside-down-snuggling cat named Vigo.

Vigo has battled painful stomatitis for years. When his pain and infection returned again, his family was facing financial hardship, including underemployment and being unable to qualify for standard financing support at the time. That’s when the fund stepped in, becoming the lifeline he needed to receive care and finally get relief.

He’s now recovering and back to what he does best: snuggling on shoulders and charming everyone he meets. This is exactly why Care Beyond Limits exists - to lift barriers when pets need care the most.

More stories to come. 💙🐾

20 New Beginnings start now.
Earlier this month, our PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center team began caring for 20 rescued Italian Greyhounds from a hoarding situation in Smith County, TX. PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center will provide complimentary spay/neuter procedures, dental cleanings, extractions, microchipping, and rabies vaccinations through the Care Beyond Limits Fund, a Lakefield-affiliated charitable program.
In partnership with the Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation Texas & Oklahoma Chapter, these procedures will give each dog the healthy, happy start they deserve after surviving one of the largest hoarding cases in the region.
As Dr. Joyce Li of PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center shared, “This is more than a medical mission, it’s a story of hope, healing, and second chances.”
Follow along to see how their journey unfolds and visit Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation Texas and Oklahoma for more information on adoption availability. From rescue to recovery, and soon, to forever homes, we are honored to be a part of their journey 🧡
