🚀🐾 𝘔𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘛𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭: "I'm ready for my CT and rhinoscopy"
This brave little "Cat -stronaut" came in for a diagnostic work-up at Sunstone this week.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐓 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲?
CT scans create clear, precise, and detailed images that help us deliver the best possible care for your pets by offering a deeper level of insight and confidence. Whether we're planning for surgery or diagnosing a complex condition, CT gives us greater insight through detailed diagnostic images. Rhinoscopy lets us look inside the nasal passages with a tiny camera. Together, these tools let us provide thorough diagnostics and develop a care and treatment plan for pets like Major Tom. 🐾

🍪🎉 Happy National Cookie Day from Sunstone Vets! 🎉🍪

As we celebrate National Cookie Day, it's important to remember that while cookies may be delicious for us, they can pose serious health risks to our pets. One of the risks is pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas that can be triggered by fatty or sugary foods like cookies. At Sunstone Vets, we want to keep your pets safe and healthy!

What is Pancreatitis in Pets? Pancreatitis can cause vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and abdominal pain in dogs and cats. It’s often caused by high-fat foods like cookies, chocolate, and fatty table scraps. This condition can be serious, so it's best to avoid sharing holiday treats with your pets.

Healthy Alternatives! Instead of sharing cookies, consider giving your furry friends pet-safe treats that won’t compromise their health. Always consult with your vet about the best treats for your pet’s needs.

🔍 Need more information about your pet’s health or concerned about pancreatitis? Contact Sunstone Vets today for expert advice and to schedule a specialty visit.

🌟 A Second Chance for Azrael and Ren 🌟
Azrael’s journey is a true testament to love and resilience. After battling kidney failure, he received a life-saving transplant with the help of Dr. Elliott, our Sunstone team, and the incredible specialists at UPenn. 🩺🐾
But the story doesn’t end there—Azrael’s kidney donor, Ren, was a rescue from a kill shelter. Thanks to UPenn’s program, Ren not only saved Azrael’s life but found his forever family too. ❤️
Today, Azrael is healthy, playful, and thriving alongside his new brother. Their journey highlights the power of care, compassion, and second chances for animals in need. 💛
