🌟 Meet Lita, a beautiful warrior! 🌟

Since beginning treatment for lymphoma in March, Lita’s family noticed the inspiring photos of some of our patients displayed in our specialty lobby, and they saw one special spot still open. 💖

At her most recent appointment, they surprised Dr. Shiu with a stunning canvas print from a recent photo shoot... and now, Lita’s sweet face is proudly up on the wall, welcoming everyone who visits our specialty department. 🐾

But the best part? At that same appointment, Lita’s family received the incredible news that Lita is in REMISSION! 🎉

Please join us in sending a HUGE congratulations to Lita and her amazing family! 💕

🎉 REMISSION UPDATE! 🎉

Dr. Robat had the absolute joy of telling Kevin’s family the best news at his oncology recheck appointment last week… he is STILL in remission! 🐾💛

Kevin was diagnosed with lymphoma 3 years ago last month. Since then, he’s shown nothing but strength, resilience, and a whole lot of tail wags throughout his treatment.

Today marks another incredible milestone in his journey—and we couldn’t be happier for this brave boy and his amazing family. 💪🐶

Please help us in sending a great, big CONGRATULATIONS to Kevin and his family! 💕

🐿️ Late-night rescue alert! 🐾
A concerned citizen heard cries coming from a downspout and discovered two young squirrels trapped inside. She rushed them to our Madison hospital where Dr. Palmer didn’t waste a second to help. 💪

Thanks to quick action and compassionate care, both squirrels were safely freed and later released back where they were found. 🙌🌿

Although we don't usually see wildlife, sometimes they need a little help and that's exactly what Dr. Palmer (and the good Samaritan) did. And what a difference a little help can make. 💚

In case you missed it last night! 🐾

Mackenzie Davis with WMTV 15 News stopped by our Middleton hospital to chat with Dana Madalon, Executive Director of the Sauk County Humane Society, as she visited with Ned—a very sweet kitty who’s captured a lot of hearts.

Ned arrived at their shelter on Sunday with serious injuries and was quickly transferred to our hospital for emergency care. 💙

A cat is still alive after it was shot in the face and taken to the Sauk Co. Humane Society on Sunday, thanks to a couple of Good Samaritans who found him.

"The service was amazing! Ovi gets anxious and can be reactive and I called ahead to notify everyone and they were GREAT! Everyone helped get him right into a room and worked to keep him calm and comfortable."

A heartfelt thank you to Ovi’s family for these incredibly kind words about his recent treatment for a laceration — and for sharing this adorable photo of him resting and relaxing. We’re so happy to hear he’s feeling better and healing well! Thank you for entrusting us with his care.

What an honor for Dr. Gunn and her incredibly sweet assistant, Scarlet (who also happens to be her adorable dog), to visit a local preschool as part of their Community Helpers week! 👩‍⚕️🐾

While Dr. Gunn did the talking, Scarlet happily soaked up all the love and snuggles from the students. 💕 Dr. Gunn shared what veterinarians do to help pets, showed off some of her important medical tools, and - with Scarlet’s help - taught everyone how to safely and respectfully greet a dog. 🐕✨ She even performed a quick exam on a stuffed animal with a "broken wing" (we're happy to report it's expected to make a full recovery). 🩺

The sweetest surprise....the children and their teacher gifted Dr. Gunn and our hospital with donations of beds, toys, and supplies to help comfort sick and injured pets. 🧸🛏️💕 What a thoughtful and compassionate group of young helpers! 💝

We are so touched by their kindness and generosity - what an amazing group of animal lovers (and possibly future vets)! THANK YOU! 💖🐾

We had a SPECTACULAR time this weekend at Bark in the Park in Prairie Du Sac this weekend. It was a gorgeous day ☀️and we had a BLAST meeting lots of new friends and seeing a few familiar faces. Thank you to everyone that stopped by and enjoyed all the fun!

A special thank you to Sauk Prairie Recreation Department and Raw Rations Pet Food and Wellness for coordinating such a wonderful event for pups and their people! 🐾
