As we enjoy the warmth of family gatherings and the freedom to pursue our dreams, let us pause to reflect on the true significance of this day.

Today, and every day, let us honor their legacy by upholding the values for which they so courageously fought and by striving to build a world worthy of their sacrifice.

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.”

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Brandy Cunningham, a cherished member of our team. Brandy, who served as a technician, receptionist, colleague, and friend to all, passed away on Saturday, May 11, 2024. Her loss leaves a profound void in our hearts and in the fabric of our workplace.

Brandy was not only an integral part of our professional community but also a radiant and compassionate soul who touched the lives of everyone she encountered. The Heartland family mourns her passing deeply, recognizing that her absence will be keenly felt.

During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with Brandy's husband, Alex, and their son, Emmett. May they find comfort and strength in the cherished memories of their beloved wife and mother. Brandy's legacy of kindness and warmth will endure in our hearts forever.

“It well may be
That we will never meet again in this lifetime.
So, let me say before we part:

So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you.
You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart.

And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend.”

Kevin is excited to celebrate Wednesday and the week being half over!!

Here is a great video of Luna getting her lens. She was so good through all of this. A big thank you to her family for allowing us to care for her and be a part of her journey.

We shall call this one wowzer Wednesday! Warning, graphic procedure videos. This little bunny came in to see us for some unknown sores. The sores were actually bot fly larva/warbles. Cuterebriasis (a.k.a. Cuterebra – Bot Fly Larva) is a condition that results from the migration of fly larvae through the bodies of small mammals. A cuterebra is the larval stage of the bot fly. Clinical signs of cuterebras are usually limited to identification of a lump or hole in the skin where the cuterebra is located. Most cases do not become noticeable until the larva enlarges and becomes a noticeable swelling that is seen or felt beneath the skin. A small "breathing" hole is often visible in the skin over the warble. The hole enlarges when the warble has fully matured and is about to leave the host. Sometimes, nothing abnormal is noticed until after the larva has left the host and the empty cyst becomes infected or develops into an abscess in the animal's skin. Treatment of subcutaneous cuterebriasis is usually a minor outpatient surgical procedure to remove the larvae. The most important aspect of treatment is full removal of the larva/maggot. Dr. Brunstein was able to surgically enlarge the area a bit to get a complete excise of the larva. There were two lesions that required removal and cleaning. With some minor wound care and infection control, this little bunny will be better in no time!

We haven’t had a Technical Tuesday in a while so let’s share a good one. Warning! Surgery video attached! Dr. Brunstein recently cared for a red-eared slider with an aural abscess. Surgical removal is required as chelonians (a reptile of the order Testudines; a turtle, terrapin, or tortoise) do not have externa ear opens. Abscesses are often caused by lack of vitamin A in the diet. So it is important to make sure to feed those deep green, red, and orange veggies to your reptilian besties. Not sure if your pet is getting a balanced diet? Make an appointment with the vet for a check-up and diet discussion. Thank you to this family for allowing us to care for their shellback baby!

Hope you get out and enjoy some of this sunshine today before the rain clouds come back!

Me watching seasons bounce back and forth weekly….winter-spring-winter-spring-winter!!!

No more pesky potholes! No more crumbling curbsides! More to come with landscaping and striping but we are excited to have this improved pavement to welcome our patients and families. Happy Saturday everyone.
