Freddy's heart-shaoed nose makes him the perfect patient to feature on Valentine's Day!

Freddy came to see us today due to a traumatic malocclusion, where his lower canine teeth don't fit properly in front of his upper canines, and are poking into his gums and palate! He'll be back in a couple of weeks for his procedure to remove the pointy tips of those lower canines and make him more comfortable.

Sometimes in vetmed it takes a village…to do a blood draw on a tiny Yorkie! All it took was a little Churu 😉

Rilo came to us with 3 teeth and left with none due to periodontist. With those teeth extracted, Rilo should start feeling better and living happier! ☺️

Happy Thursday!

Happy ! Along with the talented veterinary team from (and carting 100 lbs of dental equipment from , and ), we have arrived at to help this female jaguar. She was a victim of the illegal pet trade, taken from the wild too young to be rewilded and released. She has an abscessed canine tooth that we'll be extracting.

We're so excited to help this beautiful jaguar with the Oakland Zoo team. We'll arrive in Guatemala early tomorrow morning 🌄

It's always an honor to work with the dedicated and talented staff at the Oakland Zoo. Last week it was extra special watching the cardiac team from UCSF perform an echocardiogram while we gave Eddie Chimpanzee an oral health exam.

Happy National Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week! Our technicians Ophelie, RVT, Renee and Emilie give our patients lots of love while also providing exceptional nursing care. They assist the doctors during exams, collect blood and order lab tests, place catheters, obtain dental x-rays and CT scans, perform dental cleanings, clean and sterilize instruments, and most importantly, monitor anesthesia and recovery. We appreciate them for all that they do and for embodying our practice's core values (HEART): we are Helpful, Exceptional, Adaptable, Respectful and Trustworthy ❤️ Thank you, Ophelie, Renee and Emilie!

Sometimes you don’t know until you know! Milo came in for his annual exam and we noticed some discoloration at his lower left canine. Discoloration can mean a dead tooth, or pulpitis…or, in Milo’s case today, nothing at all. Swipe to see the tooth in question, and the CT image.

We love helping out at the Oakland Zoo!

Curious Kona likes to bring her parents rocks to play fetch with—ouch! Here you can see the way this has worn her canine and premolar teeth. Luckily she didn’t wear them down to the point of exposing the pulp, but her parents are getting her a muzzle to avoid this behavior in the future.

Instagram vs reality. Even when the pets go a bit wild our CSRs remain calm, cool and collected. Happy Veterinary Receptionist appreciation week Wendy and Renée! We couldn’t do it without you!

Ashley, our resident poodle lady, was a bit jealous of Winston and Bridgit yesterday. Luckily for her Toby came in today. 🐩 🥰

Not sure who needs a hug, but Winston gives great ones.

Feel-good story of the week 😃

The storm ⛈ caused some craziness for us this morning with no power and some flooding. Little Lestrade decided to just hide in the paperwork instead of working today.

If you love your veterinarian, thank a ! Our experienced technicians at AADC perform patient intake, collect and process blood samples, place IV catheters, administer and monitor anesthesia, provide nursing care, take x-rays, acquire cone-beam CT scans, sterilize instruments, and assist in surgery.

They are the backbone of our practice and we are so to have Alli and RVTs Ashley, Bridgit and Ophelie as teammates!

This is Maverick. Maverick is a puppy, so why is he at AADC?
Maverick has an oral tumor called an Acanthomatus Ameloblastoma. This is a benign, but aggressive tumor. In the short time between discovery, diagnosis and surgery the tumor grew significantly. On Tuesday, Dr Fulton successfully removed the mass along with the teeth and bone surrounding it. Maverick has a great prognosis for not having any recurrence of the tumor. He will soon be able to go back to just being a puppy. The sequence of photos show Maverick’s tumor, the removal and Maverick post-op.
