PASE PET STORY: Meet Mika
Mika was transferred to PASE from another emergency clinic after being hit by a car. She was found to have a large amount of blood in her abdomen and an ultrasound revealed that the bleeding was occurring from the spleen. Following a blood transfusion given to help stabilize her, she was taken to surgery to evaluate the spleen and to ensure that no other organs were traumatized. At surgery, her spleen was found to be ruptured and there was a large hematoma present at the site of rupture. The spleen was removed which stopped the bleeding. Mika recovered very well from surgery and was able to go home the following day.

PASE Pet Story: Meet Felix 😻
Felix came to the PASE Neurology service for being off balance and weak. A brain MRI revealed a large brain tumor compressing his brainstem. This tumor was a meningioma, which is the most common brain tumor in cats. A craniotomy was performed to remove the tumor. This was a risky procedure because of the location of the tumor and the large amount of pressure on the brain, but the procedure went smoothly and Felix recovered well. He is now back to playing at home, and is expected to live a normal life!

Today marks Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! On this occasion, we honor the legacy and contributions of Dr. King, a Baptist minister and a pivotal figure in the American civil rights movement. We invite everyone to take this day to contemplate the values of racial equality and the philosophy of nonviolent social change championed by Dr. King.
Quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
“Never, never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake."
"The time is always right to do what is right."
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"
"Forgiveness is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude."

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Meet Kristen Midgett, CVT, Oncology Clinical Manager🥰
Introducing Kristen, a vital cornerstone of PASE's exceptional Oncology Department. As the Oncology Clinical Manager, she not only oversees clinical operations but also serves as a passionate advocate for every patient in the hospital. Kristen's leadership style, characterized by compassion and empathy, plays a crucial role in fostering strong connections with both her team and the patients they serve. She radiates positivity, bringing a sense of warmth and support to the PASE team and to the clients they care for.
Kristen graduated from Manor College and passed the VTNE in 2020. Since then, she has been working in the oncology department, which is where her passion lies! She says, “Oncology, like any other services has its challenges, but what makes it so special is the connection I get to develop with the patients and their families. Working with people who care so deeply for their animals brings me so much joy. While our service is often a last stop for many of our patients, knowing that my team can help the families get to spend some extra time with their fur babies makes it all worth it."
Her goal for the future is to obtain her VTS in Oncology. She says that the best thing about all veterinary medicine in general is that she never gets to stop learning!
When she is not working, Kristen enjoys cooking, drawing, and cuddling up on the couch with her one-year-old lab mix, Opie!

PASE PET STORY: Meet Star! 🤩
Star was presented to PASE's Emergency Service in severe respiratory distress. She was struggling to breathe and was cyanotic after playing outside for just 20 minutes! We immediately placed her in oxygen and administered a sedative medication to help her slow her breathing rate. Star received more sedation and was intubated for 45 minutes while we administered oxygen to her. This allowed us time to calm her breathing, address the inflammation in her upper airways, and bring her body temperature down to normal. We allowed her to slowly and gently wake up from the sedation until we could extubate (remove the tube helping her breathe) from her airway. She was placed into oxygen for monitoring overnight and was finally able to comfortably breathe thanks to quick intervention by both her owners and our emergency team.
It is extremely important to consider the temperatures, activity level, and the breed of your dog during the warmer months. Dogs release heat through panting which can lead them to easily overheat. This is especially true for our brachycephalic (smushy faced) breeds. Due to their abnormal airways, their panting is not able to release heat as efficiently leading to even quicker overheating, progressive panting, and an upper airway crisis such as what Star experienced. These crises are life-threatening and require immediate intervention.
Ways to keep your dogs safe during the hotter months:
1️⃣Limit outdoor time and exercise
2️⃣Provide access to air conditioning, shade, and water
3️⃣Closely watch your pet's respiratory effort - if they are having trouble breathing, bring them to the emergency room immediately
4️⃣Avoid bare paws on hot cement/asphalt to prevent thermal burns

🩸PASE BLOOD DONOR: Meet Patronus! 😍
Patronus is a little furball and a forever kitten, even at 7 years old, who has generously donated blood twice. She's made entirely of soft fluff and positive energy, though it’s no surprise, as her two brain cells seem to be made of cotton! Her favorite activities include napping, hanging out with mom, and playing with anything plastic. When she’s not catching up on sleep, she loves teasing her older sister and chasing her toy mice. After donation sessions, her favorite treat is crunchy lettuce—the crunchier, the better! Apparently, no one told her she’s supposed to be an obligate carnivore, which just adds to her charm!
