Meet the Staff is back! Today's spotlight is Dr. Luci.

Dr. Luci was born and raised in southeastern Wisconsin and is so excited to continue to serve her local community here at AUC.
Dr. Luci grew up in Racine before going to Carthage College for her undergraduate degree. She
obtained her Bachelor’s in Neuroscience with honors, along with minors in both Spanish and Biology. While at Carthage, she played on the volleyball team, participated in research projects in neuroscience, and completed a semester-long internship at the Racine Zoo.
She then went on to obtain her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Luci was very active during her time at UW in the Veterinary Business Management Association (VBMA) and spent two years on the national board, helping to ensure that veterinary students across the country received business education. During her fourth year, she was awarded the WVMA William J O’Rourke Memorial Award for her time spent in organized veterinary medicine.
After veterinary school, Dr. Luci completed a one year emergency internship at the Wisconsin
Veterinary Referral Center (WVRC) and has since been working at urgent care clinics in the Milwaukee area. She has special interests in wound care, gastrointestinal emergencies, toxicities and palliative care.
Dr. Luci currently resides in Sussex with her husband, daughter and two cats. In her free time, she enjoys crocheting, attending yoga and pilates classes, going on hikes, and spending time with friends and family.

Lucy was seen at the hospital because she appeared to be uncomfortable, scratching at her right ear for a couple days . Ear infections can cause the skin that lines the outer ear to become red, itchy, and painful. Pus, waxy material, and other debris can accumulate. Ear infections can be very uncomfortable for your pet and should be treated as soon as possible. Common signs include head shaking, scratching and rubbing, a foul odor, abnormal behavior or even irritability. We’re so happy that we could help Lucy with her care and get them feeling better soon.

It's a day of football, friends, and fun – but did you know it's also National Pizza Day? While we're indulging in delicious game-day snacks, let's remember to keep our furry friends safe and pizza-free.

Many of the ingredients in pizza can be harmful to pets. The dough can expand in their stomachs, causing bloating and discomfort. Cheese and other dairy products can upset their digestive systems. Also, toppings like onions, garlic, and certain spices can be toxic to cats and dogs.

As Valentine's Day approaches, it is important to be mindful that numerous popular treats and decorations can be harmful to pets.

Let me introduce Beau! Beau is a yellow lab that was seen at the hospital with his sister, Winnie after eating dark chocolate. He is such a sweet, handsome boy! In this picture, Beau is eating what is called Activated Charcoal, which is given to patients that ingest potentially toxic volumes of materials. The Activated Charcoal helps by trapping the possibly toxic material rather than the body absorbing it. We’re so happy that we could help Beau and Winnie with their care today and get them feeling better soon.
