A look behind the curtain :

During National Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week, the spotlight was on our talented veterinary technicians.

Their work in a supporting role may seem effortless, but every move is well-rehearsed. Years of training and experience allow them to find the smallest veins, calm the unruliest kittens, and show infinite compassion in every scene.

These professionals bring rhythm to the chaos. They dazzle us with their fearless animal-handling skills, poise in critical situations, and grace in every emotional moment between cherished pets and their people.

When we asked our technicians to go on camera, they transformed into showgirls and showboys. The enthusiasm, dedication, and humor they brought to this process are exactly what they bring every day to their patients and colleagues, and veterinary medicine is better for it.

Happy National Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week. These are our sparkling technicians.

And we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🧡

Meet Takia! 💛🐾

We first met this sweet girl in January after she experienced her first seizure. Our neurologist, Dr. Song, performed an MRI and discovered a brain tumor. Thankfully, Takia was a great candidate for surgery, and Dr. Song, alongside our stellar anesthesia team, successfully removed the tumor. 🧠✨

Being diabetic, Takia required close monitoring post-surgery, so our Critical Care and Internal Medicine teams stepped in to provide top-notch support in our ICU.
To give her the best possible outcome, Takia’s family pursued radiation therapy. Through it all, Takia stayed strong and full of spirit. After surgery and radiation, her tumor was gone, and she was back to doing what she loves: romping and rolling in the snow.

Later, Takia developed enlarged lymph nodes and was diagnosed with lymphoma. But once again, she showed incredible resilience. With chemotherapy from our oncologist, Dr. Lori, Takia is now in remission and thriving! 🎉🐶

We’re beyond proud of this brave girl and how far she’s come. Pictured here with her loving family, Dr. Song, and Nadia, Takia is surrounded by love, both at home and here with us.

If you see a sweet yellow Lab with a neat scar on her head, say hello! She’s sure to brighten your day with her unstoppable tail wag. 🧡

💔 Heart disease in pets is more common than many pet parents realize. Both dogs and cats can develop conditions like mitral valve disease or cardiomyopathy, and the early signs are often subtle.

👀 Watch for symptoms such as:
    •    Coughing
    •    Trouble breathing
    •    Fainting or collapse
    •    Fatigue and exercise intolerance

🩺 A veterinary cardiologist can help detect heart problems early and improve your pet’s quality of life.

🐾 To book your pet’s cardiology appointment in Parker, call us at 720-842-5050. Early detection saves lives.

👉 Save this post to remember the signs of dog and cat heart disease, and share with another pet parent who should know.

Today marks Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day🌈, a special time to honor the incredible pets who've crossed the Rainbow Bridge. It's a day to celebrate the boundless joy, comfort, laughter, and unconditional love they brought into our lives.

Every wag of a tail, every purr, every gentle nudge was a testament to the beautiful bond you shared. Remember the profound care and devotion you poured into that relationship; it was a fundamental part of their happiness and well-being. Our pets truly become family, and the companionship they offered is something we'll cherish forever.

A cancer diagnosis in a pet is never easy, but there are treatment options that can make a real difference. Chemotherapy is the most common and often well-tolerated treatment, with most pets experiencing only mild side effects like temporary nausea or appetite changes. Unlike in people, pet chemo is designed to prioritize comfort and quality of life without the severe side effects.

Treatment plans vary based on the type and stage of cancer, but each session usually takes about 30-60 minutes and includes a physical exam and lab work to make sure your pet is feeling well enough to proceed.

Watch for warning signs like unexplained lumps or weight loss, as early detection can make all the difference.
