🧡 Meet Cozy, a sweet, young, and active Labrador Retriever 🦮, who was evaluated by the surgery service for thoracic limb lameness and elbow pain. Cozy had a CT scan of his elbows, which is more sensitive than X-rays to evaluate the elbow joint, and was diagnosed with medial coronoid disease. This is a developmental orthopedic condition causing a fragmentation (chip) or wearing away of a small piece of bone in the elbow.
Cozy underwent arthroscopy (using a small camera) of his elbows to remove the small chip fragments, and we are happy to report that he is recovering well from his surgery. 💙

🎃 Happy Halloween from all of us! 🎃
Halloween is full of fun costumes, candy, and spooky décor — but it can also be stressful (and even dangerous) for our pets. Here are a few tips to keep them safe:
🐾 Secure your pet: The noise and doorbell rings can be overwhelming. Keep them in a quiet, comfy room with water, toys, and a cozy bed. 🐾 Choose comfy costumes: Make sure your pet’s outfit doesn’t restrict movement, breathing, or vision, and avoid small parts they could chew off. 🐾 Skip the candy: Chocolate, xylitol, and raisins are toxic to pets. Keep treats out of reach and offer pet-safe goodies instead. 🐾 Decorate safely: Use battery candles instead of open flames and keep cords and decorations where pets can’t chew or knock them over. 🐾 Prevent escapes: With doors opening all night, make sure your pet has a collar and tag, and consider microchipping for extra security.
💀 What’s your go-to tip for keeping pets safe on Halloween? Share below!

Meet Jonathan 💕 She came to see us a few months ago after a little outdoor adventure left her with a limp. Turns out she had a fracture along her femoral growth plate. This is an injury that only happens in young, growing pets. The fracture was surgically repaired, and we’re happy to share that at her final recheck this week, she’s fully healed and back on all fours! 🐾
Fun fact: Jonathan is a rare kind of female cat… can you guess why? 👀🐈
