We are thrilled to wish a very happy 15-year anniversary to our very own Dr. Matthew Hobson! While he has been practicing as a veterinarian with us for 15 years, Dr. Hobson’s story with Care Animal Hospital began long before that—all the way back in middle school!

From the moment he knew he wanted to become a veterinarian, Dr. Hobson spent his summers here shadowing our team, working in the kennels, and even mowing our lawn. His dedication never wavered and he kept coming back year after year!

Dr. Hobson attended Kansas State University, and upon graduation moved to Muncie—where Care Animal Hospital became (and remains!) the only job he’s ever had. And we plan to keep it that way!

Known as an exceptional surgeon, Dr. Hobson has built a reputation for managing extremely challenging cases and forming long-term friendships with his clients. In addition to all he does here, he also serves on the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association Board, contributing to the future of veterinary medicine in our state.

When he’s not saving lives, Dr. Hobson enjoys spending time with his wife and their four daughters.

Please join us in celebrating Dr. Hobson’s incredible commitment, compassion, and talent in veterinary medicine. Here’s to many more years together! 🐾

🚨 Pet Safety Alert: Xylitol Toxicity 🚨

Meet Charlie Mae, a sweet 1-year-old pup who recently gave her family quite a scare after getting into Orbit® sugar-free gum. This gum contains xylitol, a sugar substitute that’s extremely dangerous to dogs.

Xylitol is absorbed very quickly and can cause a sudden release of insulin, leading to rapid, life-threatening hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). It can also cause delayed liver injury, sometimes hours to days after ingestion.

Thankfully, Charlie Mae’s owners acted FAST and brought her straight to Dr. Avila for care. She received timely decontamination, IV fluids, and dextrose to keep her blood sugar stable.

✨ The good news: Charlie Mae is doing wonderfully! She’s bright, alert, eating well, and maintaining normal blood sugar levels. She’ll continue to be monitored to ensure no delayed liver effects develop—but her recovery is on an excellent track.

🐾 What Pet Owners Should Know About Xylitol

•Commonly found in sugar-free gum, baked goods, mints, toothpaste, and some peanut butters
•Even small amounts can be dangerous
•Signs of toxicity can appear within 30 minutes
•Fast veterinary attention can save lives

We’d like to give a huge shoutout to our amazing team today. As an animal hospital, we know how important our services are to this community. While we close for only six holidays each year, we’re open the other 359 days—caring for our own patients and helping additional pets so they don’t have to wait or suffer longer than necessary.

Today alone, our team saw more than 60 patients, many of them in critical condition. We truly appreciate everyone’s patience as we triaged and worked through each case as quickly and safely as we could. We know the wait was long, and we are so sorry. Behind the scenes, our staff was performing four emergency surgeries and caring for multiple hospitalized patients -ontop of seeing every appointment that came through our door!

To our incredible employees—who never complained, stayed focused, and made sure every single pet received compassion and quality care—thank you. Adam, Kassidy, Kaitlin, Shalynn, Sami, Brooke, Sarah, Kylie, Dustin, Jamie, Jennie, Dr. Burns, Dr. Seabeck, and even the return of Dr. Brown for some extra help… THANK YOU.

Your dedication means everything. 🐾💙
