Bot flies (Cuterebra) lay their eggs near animal burrows or outdoor enclosures. These eggs may get stuck on the fur of a passing mammal. When the eggs hatch, the larva burrows into the skin of its host. Watch if you dare! We think it’s one of those “ it’s so gross. It’s cool” things. This bunny will be fine ❤️
Can anyone guess what Dr Bricketts first patient of the day is??
Happy Belated Birthday Leo 🐶 🎂
Dentistry 🦷
This is why we harp on the importance of routine dental cleaning. This dog was brought in through Space Coast Frenchie Rescue. Due to not having routine dental care, she has an oral fistula where you can clearly see her sinus cavity and needs full mouth extractions. Dental disease does not just affect the mouth. Infection can become systemic and damage other organs.

Wild Florida Rescue
Thank you Wild Florida Rescue for hosting such a wonderful banquet last night, recognizing all the hard work that their rescuers, rehabbers and veterinarians do. I (Gemma) would personally like to thank Dr. Retamozo for allowing me to shake up the culture of EGVH a bit, and taking the leap in helping with the Veterinary needs of our local Wildlife. You never know what you’ll see when you step in our doors. Imagine sitting in the lobby with your little Chihuahua and seeing a 7 pound Bald Eagle Or 50 pound coyote come through the doors 🚑 😂. Without his blessing and continued support it could never happen. Let the madness continue.❤️❤️ 🐶🐱🦊🐒🦅🦇🐷🦮🦜🐕🦺
Ever wonder what your pet’s technician gets up to when they get home? Well here ya go 😂💃🏻🎃

Thank you to everybody who has said a prayer, or messaged us checking on Chicken. He is not out of the woods, but he is doing much better ❤️ #8WeeksOldToday
There’s nothing better than a gender reveal Vet Med Style. Congratulations Dr Bahr and Ryan 💖 (excuse the language)
Here’s a fun way to cool off your dog or horse. Fill a solo cup with an assortment or treats, fill with water, drop a piece of string in the center to tie on a fence (if using for horses) and freeze. Makes a great enrichment tool and keeps them cool
