We’re so excited to welcome Joanna Finstad, DVM, MS, DACVECC (back) to the MVS team! She brings Critical Care with her as a new specialty service to add to our growing list.

Dr. Finstad is a diplomat of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical care. She attended the University of Wisconsin for veterinary medical school followed by a rotating internship at Tufts University and an ECC residency at The Ohio State University. During residency she became captivated by the kidney and extracorporeal therapy. She is currently a member of the inaugural class of the American College of Veterinary Nephrology and Urology, completed Hemodialysis Academy and a fellowship in Extracorporeal Therapy at OSU. She hopes to one day be considered a veterinary critical care nephrologist.

Fun fact: Prior to attending veterinary school, Joanna was a CVT and the first practice manager MVS hired. She worked with our team in the very early stages of our growth and her hard work at that time is still felt in our day to day operations. We’re excited to be offering a new specialty service to our patients and to have her back in the hospital. ♥️🐾

We frequently highlight the success stories we see at MVS, but equally as important are the stories of families and pets that we help on one of the most difficult days of their lives.

Saying goodbye to our companion is never easy, but over time the sadness dissipates and the fond memories come back stronger. Our pets really never leave us as long as they still have a space in our hearts.

Today is a day of remembrance. We would love to hear a favorite memory or photo of your pet (if you'd like to share) so we can remember them, too. ❤🐾🌈

Kasey came to see us last week for a recheck. It was spectacular to see her up and moving around so comfortably. At the end of April, her family brought her to our ER when she suddenly was unable to use all four limbs. Kasey’s MRI showed a severe compression of the spinal cord in her cervical spine. Both the ER and Neurology teams moved quickly to get Kasey the surgery she needed and just a short time later she’s back on her feet!

Tugg had to be carried into the hospital when he came to see Dr. Lau and the neurology team on March 27th. He had surgery that same day to relieve the compression on his cervical spinal cord from a disc protrusion. This is him less than 3 weeks later! (Video in the comments) He’s back to being able to walk again and is in great spirits. We’re so happy for him and his family. ❤️🐾

Sweet Oliver came into us when he suddenly became paralyzed and unable to use any of his limbs. After initial treatment with the ER team, he was transferred to our neurology department where an MRI was performed. This revealed a herniated disc in his cervical spine, causing a severe compression of the spinal cord. (Yellow arrows point to the site on MRI images.) Surgery was done by Dr. Lau immediately following the MRI and Oliver was able to go home with his family a few days after to recover. Just three weeks later, he is back on his feet and doing well. ❤️🐾

Last week, Magnolia came to us after a breeder surrendered her to a rescue because she had become paralyzed in her rear legs. Not only that, she had completely lost the ability to feel any sensation in one of her legs. With IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) this can be very concerning. Once a patient looses the ability to feel, the chance becomes lower that they will regain function in their legs after surgery. Thank goodness Magnolia didn’t listen to that. A few days post-surgery she regained the ability to walk and looked amazing at her recheck today with Dr. Lau! She is very lucky to have found the great people at Bullies-N-Friends. (Video in the comments!)
