✨As the holiday season approaches, we want to let you know our hours for next week! We wish you and your furry friends a wonderful holiday🎄
Our specialists Dr. Melissa Hobday and Dr. Melissa Java, who have been collaborating for years, bring extensive expertise and experience to the field. Their joint efforts have significantly enhanced the diagnostics and treatment of pets. In this video, they coordinated a sedated airway exam, chest X-rays, and an endotracheal wash to obtain a fluid sample from the lungs of Arlo, a cat who was diagnosed with feline asthma and concurrent bronchopneumonia.

Miss Kitty's Acupuncture Session with Dr. Joanna Murray
Is this footage of Sally feeling super snuggly during her recent visit or me struggling to wake up this Monday morning? That cute nose poking out most definitely belongs to Sally!
An abscess forms when a wound heals over on its surface, thus sealing the deeper infection inside.
In this case, the abscess developed following a bite wound. Diseased tissue and the inflammatory cells liquify into pus which breaks through the overlying surface skin and drains. This leads to foul odor, pain, and discomfort. Our team lanced the infected area and drained the wound to help this pet feel better.
When your pet isn't acting like themselves, we know that figuring out what is wrong and how to help them is your top priority! Getting the correct diagnosis is essential to putting your pet on the path to better health.
We are very grateful to have board-certified radiologist Dr. Simpler on our team at the Animal Hospital at Thorndale. She is a crucial piece of diagnosing our patients.
Here is Dr. Simpler with Moose, who has not been eating and needs some answers to get back to his normal self.

Foreign Body Removal Surgery
Just When You Think You've Seen Everything: Surgery Edition
Board-certified surgeon Dr. Hobday has preformed her fair share of foreign body removal procedures. However, there was nothing routine about the excessive amount of yarn removed from the stomach of a distressed dog recently after eating a large portion of a crocheted blanket.
The surgery was a success and the patient is recovering well!
Say hello to Dinah! She is a truly special patient with an equally wonderful family.
Dinah is a sweet Shepherd Mix who will be 11 years old at the end of February. She is currently receiving weekly acupuncture treatments with Dr. Joanna Murray for hind limb weakness and generalized arthritis.
Her family has been working hard to provide her with a multimodal approach to keep her comfortable, to maintain good mobility, and to slow down the progression of any weakness associated with her condition.
