When Nala was diagnosed with immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA), a disease where the immune system attacks its own joints, she was in a lot of pain, with her joints stiff and swollen. Dr. Katz and our Internal Medicine team immediately set to work, creating a personalized treatment plan that included medication and close monitoring to manage her condition.

Their diligent care and expertise paid off, and Nala has regained mobility and comfort. Today, her joints are feeling so much better, and she’s getting back to her playful self! 🎉

We’re so thankful to be part of Nala’s ongoing care. Keep shining, sweet girl! 💕

Bowie was having the time of his life playing in the snow—until he stepped on something sharp. When his family took a closer look and were in for a shock: a nail was embedded in his paw. 😨

They rushed him to DoveLewis, where x-rays confirmed there were no fractures, just one very unlucky injury. Our team carefully removed the nail, bandaged him up, and sent him home with pain medication and plenty of rest instructions.

Fast forward a few weeks, and at his suture removal, Bowie was given the all-clear to get back to his adventures! 🐾

Watch out for hidden hazards under snow, leaves, and debris. A quick area check before your plays can help avoid any unpleasant surprises!

When Appa arrived to us as a referral, we could tell he wasn’t feeling himself. Tests like blood work and X-rays didn’t give us all the answers, but we didn’t give up. After starting him on antibiotics and providing close monitoring, Appa began to turn around—and before long, he was back to his joyful, puppy self! 🐾

Appa’s family knew something wasn’t right, and that’s why we’re here—when you’re worried, we’re worried too. 💚 Whether it’s a minor concern or a lingering symptom, we’re here to help. That’s why we’re open 24/7 and have our new specialty building across the street, offering comprehensive care all in one place to ensure your pet gets the best care possible.

Tampon thief? Maybe. Carb connoisseur? Absolutely. 🤭

Roxy came in after a garbage surfing adventure 🏄‍♀️ with a suspected case of tampon ingestion. But when we induced vomiting, we got a surprise... out came tortillas, rice, and pasta instead! 🌮🍝🍚

While we can’t say we blame her for wanting to indulge in a little treat, we’re happy to see she’s feeling better and (hopefully) not planning any more culinary adventures in the garbage. 💚

Charli, our creative , proves that a true artist can find inspiration anywhere... even in her kennel towels! 🎨🐾

While we love her artistic spirit, her choice of materials required some teamwork to make sure none of her “doodle” ended up as a snack. Thankfully, Charli's creativity didn't come with any side effects and we were able to piece it all back together! 😅🧩

One moment, Winnie was chasing her ball like she always did. The next, a heart-stopping shriek shattered the air. Her owner rushed to her side, only to find her dragging her back legs—her usual energy replaced by fear and confusion.

At first, there was no clear injury. But something was very wrong. Winnie could barely walk, hunching her back in pain. Her worried family rushed her to DoveLewis, where our emergency team immediately sprang into action. After an overnight stay in the ICU, Winnie was transferred to Neurology. The suspected culprit? A spinal cord injury that could change her life forever.

An MRI showed Winnie had Intervertebral Disc Herniation, a condition where a disc in the spine bulges out, causing sudden pain and nerve pressure.

Winnie was treated with pain management, steroids, and ongoing care from our . Slowly, her hind limbs regained movement, and after weeks of rehabilitation, Winnie made an incredible recovery.

Now back to her favorite activities, Winnie’s story highlights the importance of quick action and the vital role of an MRI in diagnosing spinal injuries. Her journey proves that with the right care, recovery is possible. 🐾
