One year ago, Mae was fighting for her life. The terrifying ordeal began when Mae’s family, while at work, noticed on their home security camera that Mae was acting strangely. Concerned, Nick, Mae’s dad, rushed home to find that Mae had ingested an entire bottle of 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a human supplement used to support mood health. Realizing the danger, the family acted quickly and rushed Mae to a local clinic in Hood River. There, the clinic team sedated her to manage seizures and urged the family to drive straight to DoveLewis for the advanced care Mae urgently needed.

The odds were against Mae from the start, as the amount she ingested was more than 3 times the lethal dose for a . When Mae arrived, she was unresponsive, unable to breathe on her own, experiencing seizures, and became blind. But our team wasn’t about to give up.

We began a specialized treatment called continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), a dialysis-like procedure that gently filters toxins from Mae’s blood. For 7 intense hours, our team worked tirelessly, filtering Mae’s blood and supporting her failing organs.

Miraculously, Mae not only survived, but made a full recovery. Just 48 hours after arriving in critical condition, Mae walked out of DoveLewis, tail wagging, her eyesight restored, and surrounded by her loving family. Mae’s extraordinary journey from the brink of death to this heartwarming recovery is a true testament to the power of advanced veterinary care, unwavering expertise, and the incredible bond between and their families. 💖

Thanks to the dedication of our DoveLewis team and the support of our community, which allows us to have vital equipment like the CRRT machine, Mae is now living her best life—healthy, happy, and full of energy once again!

Egg binding: it’s no yolk for our feathered friends! 💡🐣

Marjorie came to DoveLewis showing signs of lethargy and fluffed feathers after laying a soft-shelled egg. X-rays revealed a partially shelled, collapsed egg stuck in her reproductive tract—a potentially life-threatening condition called egg binding.🥚 We treated her with oxytocin, fluids, and meds to help ease her discomfort and prevent infection.

If your bird is showing signs of weakness, loss of appetite, straining, or a swollen abdomen—don’t wait! Bring them to DoveLewis for help! 🩺✨

An elevated dining experience—literally. 🍽

Dani takes “dining like royalty” to a whole new level in her Bailey Chair! 👑 This clever setup isn’t just cute—it’s life-changing for managing her megaesophagus, a condition where food struggles to make its way to her stomach. Sitting upright during meals helps gravity do the hard work, making sure her food goes down safely. 💚

Dani’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. She recently faced aspiration pneumonia, a complication of her condition, and she’s also living with myasthenia gravis, which causes muscle weakness. But thanks to her loving family and our dedicated team, she’s proving she’s one strong pup. 💪🐕

Here’s to more happy meals and tail wags for Dani! 🐾

Who wants to hear a ghost story? 👻

Earlier this year, Ghost’s health took a devastating turn. Multiple kidney stones blocked both ureters—the tiny tubes connecting her kidneys to her bladder—leaving her unable to filter toxins. Lethargic and dangerously ill, Ghost required constant hospitalizations, advanced imaging, and round-the-clock monitoring of her kidney values.

Her family, despite being emotionally and financially strained, refused to give up. Our team worked tirelessly, involving nearly every department. When her kidney swelling reached a critical point, we performed a delicate subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) surgery, bypassing the blockages and saving her life.

Despite her rare blood type—shared by less than 1% of cats—we found a donor and provided the lifesaving transfusion Ghost needed before surgery. Against all odds, everything aligned. Today, Ghost is back to her playful, affectionate self while staying under the watchful care of our internal medicine team.

This , you can ensure we’re ready to tackle the toughest cases and provide life-saving care to in crisis, ensuring families never face emergencies alone.
