Today we are taking down our Dia de Los Mu***os altars. It was such an honor to remember and celebrate the lives of pets that have passed at our hospital and the pets of our team members who have passed. They are a huge part of our lives and will always be remembered ❤️

Tomorrow, we “fall back” an hour! ⏰
That means one more hour of sleep... or extra cuddle time with our pets. 🐾💕
Just remember — our pets don’t know the clocks have changed, so mealtime and bathroom routines might be a little off for a few days.

Dogs may have noticeable seizures causing their bodies to convulse. They may also exhibit more subtle signs such as facial tremors, sudden movements, or unusual barking. If your dog ever experiences a seizure, here are some things to remember:

-Stay calm and focused to help keep your pet at ease.
-Track the length of the seizures and note the symptoms.
-Do not attempt to restrain or stop the seizure.
-Always call your vet or emergency vet after an occurrence.

If the seizure lasts longer than 2-3 minutes or if your pet has more than one seizure in a 24-hour period, seek medical attention.

Veterinary technicians don't always get the appreciation they deserve for all the hard work they do ❤

With an endless list of responsibilities, long hours, critical cases, and minimal breaks, vet techs manage to care for all their patients with their whole hearts. We can't thank our vet techs enough for everything they do! 🐾🩺❤

Happy Vet Tech Appreciation Week!
