🐾✨ Meet Geller & Petra! ✨🐾

These two fabulous Sphynx kitties stopped by Fitchburg Vet for their annual wellness visits! 🩷🩺 They were here to make sure their vaccines, physical exams, and overall health are all on point. 😻

👀 Sphynx fun fact: They may look hairless, but Sphynx cats actually have a fine layer of peach-fuzz-like hair! And because they don’t have much fur to absorb oils, they can get a little… ✨greasy✨ and may need regular baths. 😂🛁

Annual exams are an important part of keeping your pets happy and healthy—especially as they get older!

📅 Is your pet due for their annual? Give us a call or book your appointment with Fitchburg Vet today! 🐾💙

🌸 New Season, Same Itchy Dog? 👀🐾

Season changes = allergy season for our pets, too. 🌿🤧

If your pet is suddenly:
🐾 Scratching more
👅 Licking their paws
👂 Shaking their head
🩹 Developing red or irritated skin

…it might be time to check in with your vet!

Don’t let the itch become their whole personality. 😅 We can help figure out what’s going on and get those seasonal sniffles & scratches under control. 💚

☁️🐾 EVERYONE, PLEASE WELCOME SKYE! 🐾☁️

We had the sweetest little visitor stop by Fitchburg Vet, and his name is Skye! 💕🐶

Skye is a brand-new puppy and he is already stealing hearts around here. 🥹 We’re pretty sure he spent her visit collecting treats, making new friends, and practicing his best “I’m totally innocent” puppy face. 😂

We LOVE getting to meet puppies early and helping them learn that the vet can be a happy, positive place! 🩷✨

Welcome to the Fitchburg Vet family, Skye! We can’t wait to watch you grow! 🐾☁️

🎮🚨 BRUCE REALLY TOOK “GAMING SETUP” TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. 🚨🎮

Bruce came to see us because he just wasn’t feeling like himself. We started with abdominal radiographs to see what was going on… and UMMM. 😳

THIS DOG HAD AN ENTIRE GAMING SETUP IN HIS STOMACH. 🫠🎮

We’re talking a WHOLE GAMING HEADSET, MICROPHONE, AND ALL! 🎧🎤

And if you zoom in on the X-ray… YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE SCREWS. 😭🔩

Needless to say, this was not a “let’s wait and see” situation. Our team performed surgery to safely remove the foreign material, and thankfully Bruce is feeling better!

Friendly reminder: Pets can swallow some WILD things, and foreign objects can become serious emergencies very quickly. If your pet suddenly isn’t feeling well or you suspect they swallowed something they shouldn’t have, contact your veterinarian right away.

📸 Take a close look at Bruce’s X-ray—can YOU spot the screws? 👀🔩

📚✏️ BACK TO SCHOOL IS HERE! 🚌🎒

The backpacks are packed, the pencils are sharpened, and the kids are heading back to school… but what about the pets? 🐶🐱💕

After a summer full of extra attention, playtime, and family being home more often, your pets may need a little time to adjust to the new routine.

🐾 Start getting back into your normal schedule
🐾 Give your pet plenty of enrichment while they’re home alone
🐾 Keep goodbyes and hellos calm and low-key
🐾 Watch for signs of stress or separation anxiety
🐾 Make sure ID tags and microchip information are up to date!

And remember: your pet may not understand why everyone suddenly disappears every morning. 😂

Here’s to a smooth transition back to school for the whole family! 🎒🐾
