Meet Koko and her puppies!

Did you know that most Bulldogs are born via c-section? The puppies are often too big for the birth canal to be born naturally. Koko recently underwent a c-section and now has 4 healthy puppies!

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone here at Juvo! We hope you and your pets have a wonderful holiday.

11/24/2024

It’s almost time for Thanksgiving! While it’s tempting to let your dog join in on the feast, fatty foods can lead to a serious condition called pancreatitis.

Pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas becomes inflamed, often triggered by consuming high-fat or unfamiliar foods. Symptoms include loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, they may require hospitalization. The condition can even be life-threatening.

But don’t worry—you can still include them in the holiday fun! Instead of table scraps, get some dog-friendly treats to share, and your pup will enjoy a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

Today is FIP Awareness Day.

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is an illness caused by a type of coronavirus that affects the GI tract. Most cats exposed to the virus will experience mild or no symptoms. Unfortunately, in about 10% of cats, the virus mutates and begins to spread throughout the body, causing severe illness.

FIP is more commonly seen in younger cats, with symptoms like weight loss, anorexia, fever, fluid buildup in the abdomen causing distention, and even neurological signs like seizures and incoordination. For years, FIP was a devastating diagnosis, with few treatment options available in the United States.

Thanks to recent advancements, new medications are now being used to treat this illness. With these treatments, more cats are surviving FIP and living happier, healthier lives.

Today is all about radiology! Let’s take a moment to look at the types of imaging tools we use to keep your pets healthy.

X-rays can reveal bone fractures, diagnose conditions like arthritis, foreign object ingestion, and enlarged organs.

Ultrasounds give a more in depth look at internal organs and help us diagnose conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, heart disease, and certain tumors not visible on X-ray.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Computed tomography (CT) are more advanced radiology techniques that are often done at specialty hospitals. They are used for areas of the body where X-rays and ultrasounds are not as efficient, like the spinal cord and muscles. They can also be used for surgical planning when dealing with tumors inside organs.

A big thank you to radiology teams everywhere for the important work they do to support the health of our pets. Early detection through imaging can be key in providing timely, effective treatment.

Veterinary technicians often describe themselves as advocates for their patients. They are motivated by their deep love of animals and find making a difference in the lives of animals and their owners rewarding. The field presents challenges as well, including physical injuries, compassion fatigue, and burnout. We hope that you take some time to show a vet tech in your life how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication.

Meet Kayla, the latest RVT to join our team! She brings previous experience as a surgery lead and interim practice manager. Kayla’s resilience is exemplary and our team is impressed by her wealth of knowledge and readiness to tackle any challenge. When she’s not at Juvo, Kayla enjoys cooking and reading, but her favorite pastime is relaxing with her senior rescue dogs.

A veterinary technician’s responsibilities are vital to the operations of any hospital. In addition to assisting doctors, RVTs also:

- Educate pet parents on preventative care
- Prepare for and assist with surgical procedures, including monitoring anesthesia
- Take x-rays of teeth and perform comprehensive oral health assessments and cleaning.
- Perform general care for patients such as placing bandages, taking blood samples, giving medications, and taking body x-rays.

Meet Emma! She has over ten years of experience in the field and still shows up ready to work and learn every shift. She has been instrumental in our day to day operations with her excellent dentistry and nursing care skills. We would describe Emma as having an infallible work ethic and a nurturing spirit as well as the unique ability to instill confidence in others. She sets a great example for our team and is always considerate of everyone around. When not being a rockstar at Juvo, Emma can be found tending to her succulent garden with her cat Meadow and dabbling in arts and crafts.

Registered veterinary technicians typically have an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in veterinary technology. To be licensed, technicians must pass the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) and stay-up-date with continuing education. They are required to show that they are proficient in the many facets of veterinary medicine, including animal anatomy and physiology, anesthesiology, surgical nursing, dentistry, veterinary pharmacology, microbiology, radiology, and more.

Jo has over 18 years of experience and a multitide of skills from her extensive background in emergency and specialty settings. We deeply appreciate her gentle and thoughtful approach with all of our patients. Our team describes Jo as passionate, kind-hearted, and reliable. When she’s not spending time with her tuxedo cat, Penguin, she teaches Brazilian jiu jitsu and capoeira.

October 13th-19th is National Veterinary Technician Week! It serves to recognize and celebrate the contributions that Registered and Credentialed Veterinary Technicians make to the veterinary profession. Here at Juvo we would like to kick off the celebration early and take the next two weeks to put our stellar RVT team members in the spotlight and tell you a little more about veterinary technicians in general.

Meet Kiahna! She has a long history in veterinary medicine, and is currently an RVT. She is always striving to learn more whenever she can. Our team admires her for showing up each day ready to get things done with incredible energy and positivity, and her ability to easily handle the unpredictability of the typical day in the clinic. Outside of work, Kiahna is a Disney fan who loves to read and spend quality time with her partner.

Meet Petunia!

She’s a 7 month old French/English Bulldog mix. Unfortunately, she comes from an irresponsible breeder and has multiple bone and joint deformities, as well as a difficult time breathing. She was relinquished to a shelter but has been picked up by a rescue group and is going to be adopted soon!

It’s su***de prevention week.

Veterinarians and their staff have one of the highest su***des rates compared to other occupations due to the high emotional burden they deal with on a daily basis. They are often on the receiving end of anger and grief from clients who are stressed about their pets being sick.

We ask all our clients to remember we are here to help and we only want to do what is best for your pet.

Meet Lola. She’s just encountered her first bee 🐝

In dogs, a bee sting usually causes localized swelling and pain. Some dogs may have more severe reactions like facial swelling, hives, and even shock (pale gums & collapse).

If your dog is stung by a bee, have them evaluated by your vet.
