He is as cute as his name is. He visited our team for his third round of puppy vaccines last week and we are so glad we got to snuggle him for a few. It is so easy to love a golden 💛

Binx was brought in as a stray by one of our techs, Camille, and ended up going home with our hospital manager, Kaylen. He did so well for his second round of kitten vaccines last week. He is a huge fan of Churu and anything that jingles!

Old dogs, no new tricks.

If dogs could talk, we wonder if Ryker would think it was worth it after his stay today. 😕
09/15/2025
Ryker is regretting his decision to over indulge in a green bean bush, which resulted in food bloat.
Food bloat happens when a dog eats too much or too quickly, causing their stomach to become overly full and distended. While it's not always life-threatening, it can be uncomfortable. This can lead to another condition known as GDV. When food bloat happens and then the pet runs, plays, or rolls around, the stomach can flip and turn on itself, cutting off circulation and leading to shock (GDV- Gastric Dilatation Volvulus). GDV can be life-threatening and should be treated immediately. Symptoms include vomiting, retching, nausea (lip licking, drooling, etc), and a bloated abdomen. Lucky for Ryker, we caught it early enough to manage with hospitalization and IV fluids, which aids in GI motility.
