EVERYONE GIVE THE BIGGEST HUGEST CONGRATULATIONS TO TYLER, because THIS GUY IS GOING TO VET SCHOOL 🥳😭🥳😭💃👏👏

Vet school is notoriously one of the most challenging graduate schools to get into because there are so many applicants for not enough spots. Tyler has worked so incredibly hard both academically and professionally to get this acceptance and we are so honored to celebrate him.

Tyler has gone from a kennel assistant to doctor assistant to inventory manager to A FUTURE VET. How cool is that?! We are so lucky to have him on our team and though we are very, very sad to lose him, it’s for the absolute best reason ❤️ YAY TYLER!!

Everyone say hello to Shari! 👋 She is one of our newest treatment team members and brings with her a TON of experience in the vet world. We are so lucky to have her.

Shari’s vet med super power is her ability to keep her demeanor cool and calm. This helps the pets feel more relaxed and safe when they are receiving treatments (and let’s be honest, it helps us nervous pet owners as well).

When she isn’t taking care of animals, you can find out outside. She loves camping (ask her about her amazing birthday trip she recently took!) and she also loves music festivals (💃 Northern Nights). She has four cats who are all spoiled rotten.

Next time you’re in, give Shari a big hello and welcome! 🥳

Everyone meet Marzipan! Dr. Nunes performed a “hail mary” procedure on her last week in an attempt to improve her glaucoma.

Since Marzipan has some medical conditions that would make surgery riskier, her owner wanted to avoid surgically removing the eyes due to her glaucoma. Enucleation (removal of the eye) is often what we do when glaucoma doesn’t respond to eye drops. It sounds scary, but it’s ultimately to improve her comfort and quality of life.

So Dr. Nunes got a recommendation from an ophthalmologist she consulted with to try a ciliary body ablation. Watch the video to see it done! NOTE: It’s not for the squeamish because it involves needles and eyes!

It’s that time of year again! If you LOVE(D) your care at Sactown Vet, tip your medical team without spending any extra money. 🎁

If you leave a Yelp and/or Google review using the team member(s) name, that person will get at $10 Amazon gift card. If you post the same review on Yelp AND Google, that person gets $20! You can name as many people as you want 😊🤩

We did this last year and it was magical: I LOVED seeing all the kind words people had to say about the team. And seeing how happy it made the crew to both get their gift cards (some got hundreds of dollars!) and to realize that they were making a difference to people was 🥹🥹🥹

It’s a win-win: I know the team is great, and now they get to hear it from an unbiased source. The business gets reviews, which helps us grow and give more Fear Free care to clients. And YOU get to be remembered as the super lovely person who took time to say nice things (I will let you in on a secret: we all remember your kind words and think of them every time you walk through our door ❤️).

Thank you for spreading the love this holiday season and helping me treat the team 🎄🎉 -Dr. Thornton

PS: If you aren’t sure of the names of all the staff, check our Instagram Highlights called “The Team” and nearly everyone is on there (I’ll fill in a few gaps these next few weeks).

This pretty boy was found in the Southside Park area and NEEDS A HOME. Per the lovely folks that found him, he has no microchip and is currently being cared for by foster parents. “He’s very sweet, about 1.5 years old. He’s fully vaccinated now and has a date to be neutered through Front Street. He knows commands and doesn’t go potty inside.”

If you’re interested in learning more about him, comment on this post so you can be messaged more about him! Also, the foster family will be out of town for 9 days so they are looking for someone to help watch him. Comment with any interest/ability to help, or simply share the post. Thank you lovely people! ❤️

Please join us celebrating (belatedly) two years being open! This is also an opportunity to show you the hospital expansion and how things have changed with the additional space.

On Thursday, November 6 from 4-6pm we will have an open house! Everyone is invited and kids are welcome. We’ll have food and drinks, a kid activity station, and giveaways (including TWO free injections of Bravecto Quantum*). It’s fun, easy, and a great way to see the space where your pet is cared for.

The majority of our team will be there ready to chat with you and answer your questions! So come join us. We’d love to hang out with you cool folks ❤️

*the injections are for current clients and will take place at a free future appointment, not during the open house; if a non-client wins the raffle (or it’s for a pet that hasn’t been seen in the past year with us), the client will need to establish care with that pet and will have to pay an exam fee to recieve the injection.

How many of your Sactown Vet kiddos know exactly where to go when they walk in the door? Handsome Louie was no exception and although his mom believed he was there for actual vet care, Louie knew otherwise: he was there for the treats 💁‍♀️

Thank you Shelby for letting me share adorable Louie with the world 😘

Sometimes a perfect specimen walks through your doors and they have an even more perfect name. Everyone, meet Tater Tot 🥹 He got to visit with Dr. Cole, and while I’m sure some vet business happened… I think mostly it was just playtime with the adorable puppy 🥰

I’m very, very partial to food names, but I recognize there are so many amazing names out there. What are some of your favorite pet names you’ve heard?

The biggest babies sometimes need the most love. This kiddo got neutered with us a while back and definitely was needing some extra TLC during his recovery. Luckily, Diane was able to step in and provide emotional support while still working on her patient notes. 🥹♥️

Oh, Unsinkable Molly. Sometimes even the best pups make the worst decisions (…actually, we find that is often the case. It’s a good thing we love them!).

Unsinkable Molly came to us when she wasn’t feeling well. After a little investigation, there was a big worry that something was in her stomach that shouldn’t be there. The next day, Molly was taken to surgery and that amorphous stuff was removed (turns out it was her duck toy 🦆)! Suddenly a very cheap toy turns into a four figure toy 😭

The good news is that it was in her stomach and removing things from the stomach always has a lower risk than if it gets into the intestine. Molly is recovering great from her surgery, thank goodness!

I’m sure she’s mourning her duck toy and if given the opportunity, would eat it again. 🤪
