Today marks 25 years since my classmates and I graduated from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine!! I have been a veterinarian for HALF my life 😳… even though it’s been a rollercoaster ride - ups and downs, happiness and sadness, hellos to new family pets and goodbyes to beloved family members - I can’t imagine doing anything else. These photos range from our first year of vet school, junior surgery / first spay photos and graduation. Can’t wait to see my classmates this weekend at our reunion!

This is WONDERFUL news and such a huge step forward in the area of feline medicine!!!
I can remember 20+ years ago 😳 that the diagnosis of FIP ( feline infectious peritonitis ) was a death sentence…no real treatments available.
In the past few years, drugs that have shown to be potentially life saving have been out of reach and labeled as black market… leaving many cat owners struggling to find a way to access these life saving drugs.
The fact that we now have a LEGAL option for treatment in the US is a true miracle!!!!! 🐈 🐈‍⬛ 💕 🙏🏼 🎉 🙌

The rumors are true! Stokes Pharmacy to Offer Legal FIP Treatment in the US Available June 1st. Stokes Pharmacy has formed an exclusive partnership with the Bova Group to offer a U.S.-made compounded oral treatment for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). This treatment is supported by Bova’s unique drug formula, which has been utilized in clinical research studies across the globe and is currently in use in the UK and Australia.

Stokes Pharmacy’s compounded preparation will be available by a veterinarian prescription only. In order to prescribe, please sign up for iFill at https://www.ifill.com/

More information coming soon!

What happens when we perform a fine needle aspirate (FNA) of your pet’s lump or skin mass? We take a small needle and aspirate (remove cells) from the mass, spray those cells onto a glass slide, and then use special stains to highlight those cells. With experience, we are able to determine the type of cells present and most often provide a diagnosis to you within a few days - sometimes even the same day! Dr. Morales was lucky enough to work in the oncology department as a student learning how to prepare slides for teaching purposes - so she developed an interest in cytology early on! This dog’s skin mass is an example of a Mast Cell Tumor - the cells pictured under the microscope are mast cells which contain tiny purple histamine granules!!

Don’t forget about Emeraid as an alternative to Critical Care while it’s on backorder. Both are great options for supportive feeding for your exotic pets!!!

I joined the many eclipse chasers down to south Texas only to be taunted by the clouds… so, no show, but we enjoyed family, the silly cows and posed for photos in our glasses about an hour before ( no babies were harmed in the making of that photo 😂… she thought we were nuts ). The only photo taken during totality was a selfie in the dark 😝

☀️🌑 With the solar eclipse on April 8 fast approaching, here's essential advice to ensure your animal companions stay safe and stress-free:

🐶 KEEP CALM: Pets are sensitive to our emotions and actions, so staying composed is key.

🐩 MAINTAIN THEIR ROUTINE: Stick to their regular schedule to alleviate stress during unfamiliar events.

🌞 NO GLASSES FOR PETS: Animals instinctively avoid staring at the sun, protecting their eyes without the need for specialized glasses.

🏡 INDOOR HAVEN: Keep your pets indoors during the eclipse to shield them from the crowds and commotion.

🐱 CALM ENVIRONMENT: If you will be out of the house during the eclipse, create a calming atmosphere at home. Leave lights on, play soothing music, and maintain a sense of normalcy.

✅ CHECK THEIR ID: Ensure your pets are microchipped and wearing collars with ID tags. This simple precaution could be invaluable if they become frightened by the commotion and run off.

Chopper needed some repairs so Rachel who is training to get her LVT license got some great practice with her suture technique! Once all patched up he posed with Francois ( aka Frank ) - who’s the fuzziest? Both are looking very handsome!

Easter is just around the corner! All too often, rabbits are bought as impulse gifts for the holiday — without proper research into their unique needs or high cost of ownership as an "exotic" pet.

This results in many being abandoned: dumped outdoors where they cannot survive on their own, or left at crowded shelters. We can’t rescue them all.

Share our advocacy flier and remind your friends and family, churches and youth groups, and local businesses to choose a chocolate bunny this Easter instead of a live animal: https://bit.ly/BB-MMC2022-Flier
