This adorable fluff ball came in for bilateral Grade 3 patellar luxation correction, but what we didn’t expect was a little extra Halloween trick...bladder stones! 😱

No worries though - our team turned that fright into delight!
Now this pup’s patellas are perfectly in line and those pesky stones have vanished like a ghost at sunrise! 👻💨

From bone rattles to bladder battles, this fluff is ready to strut their stuff just in time for spooky season!

Our state-of-the-art CT machine helped provide clarity for multiple patients and their families today. Pets and their families who had been searching for answers, finally have them.

Not all CT machines are created equal, and that’s why having a top-tier system capable of imaging everything from small pets to our equine friends makes all the difference!

Because when your pet’s health is on the line, answers matter — and that’s exactly what we deliver

❤️ Locally owned. Family driven. Always going the extra mile for the pets (and people) who count on us.

After months of “When’s construction starting??” … We officially break ground on Morris Hometown Vets and suddenly everyone’s calling like, “Wait—why are you guys doing construction?!”

We promise, the wait is worth it! Big things are happening for our hometown, and we’re building this the right way — local, family-owned, and here to stay ❤️

No shareholders. No corporate agendas. Just neighbors building something we can all be proud of!!

So please pardon our dust and construction signs for now… because what’s coming will be worth every bit of the wait, and Morris will have a veterinary center that reflects everything we stand for: care, compassion, community. Stay tuned — this is just the beginning! 🏡🐶🐱

‘Twas the last day of Tech Week, and all through the land,
Not a creature was stirring—except our wild band
We donned our best Shrek-gear, from ears down to toes,
To Medieval Times we went, in our finest ogre clothes

Donkeys were dancing, Dragons breathed fire,
Even Lord Farquaad showed up—in his best royal attire!
But the team? Absolute LEGENDS - no jest, no disguise
We laughed ‘til we snorted, with joy in our eyes.

We’re a locally-owned crew, no castles or kings,
Just a bunch of vet nerds doing magical things
We know every tail wag, bark, and purr,
(And how to stay calm when there’s a stir)

Corporate giants? Nah, they can stay in their tower,
They’ll never take over this swamp or take our power
Because here in the mud, we know what it takes
Long hours, strong coffee, and of course the funny outtakes

So cheers to our techs - our knights and our crew,
You wrangle the chaos with meds, tape, and glue
You’re the heart of the clinic, the soul of the team,
And you still look majestic in face masks and green 💚

And remember:
Teamwork makes the Dreamworks
Now back to the swamp—we’ve got pets to heal! 🐾

‘Twas the 6th day of Tech Week, and all through the halls,
The patients were barking and bouncing off walls
Luxury lodging was packed, the phones wouldn’t quit,
But our techs stayed strong—they’re the heart and the grit!

We do Tech Week louder, with laughter and flair,
Especially when a client brings custom-made t-shirts and snacks to spare!
A treat box arrived, filled with goodies so sweet
From Zero & Neo’s family (yes, snacks can’t be beat!)

It’s love from our clients, in gestures and notes,
That fills up our sails and keeps us afloat
We’re local, we’re loyal, and proud to convey
We honor our techs every hour, and every single day

So thank you, dear techs, for your passion and grace,
For the long hectic Saturdays you always embrace
Though Vet Tech Week is ending, our gratitude stays,
You’re our everyday heroes in so many ways!
