Meet Chucky - our Patient of the Month! 🐱

Chucky is a 1-month-old domestic shorthair that presented to AVECCC Buckeye after falling down the stairs and being unable to bear weight on the left hind limb. When Chucky arrived, he won over the hearts of all the staff members. The radiographs showed no broken bones, but he did have a significant amount of swelling, and the radiologist recommended a splint. The team decided to make the splint extra special for his family by placing green vet wrap to match his Star Wars collar, and everyone in the hospital signed his cast. 💚

If your pet just isn’t acting like themselves, quieter than usual, hiding, refusing food, or seeming “off”, trust your instincts.

Behavior changes can be an early sign of illness or pain.

Our team is here to help, day or night.
