Dr. Kya Fedora-DeGarmo began her journey into veterinary medicine at the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo in New Mexico, where she worked as a primate keeper. Having recently earned her BS in Human Nutrition and Dietetics from Metropolitan State University in Denver, Colorado, she collaborated with the zoo’s veterinary staff to create nutritious and engaging treats for the primates. Inspired by the team’s encouragement, she applied to Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts, the alma mater of the zoo’s head veterinarian. Before starting school, she completed an internship at the Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary in Tasmania, Australia, under world-renowned Tasmanian Devil expert Androo Kelly.

Graduating with honors (Phi Zeta) from Ross University, she completed her clinical training at Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. She then pursued an internship at VCA Veterinary Care and Referral Center in Albuquerque, remaining on as an emergency care veterinarian. It was here that she discovered her passion for cardiology, prompting her to complete a three-year residency at Washington State University, where she refined her expertise through hands-on practice.

Dr. Fedora-DeGarmo takes great pride in building strong relationships with both pets and their families, recognizing the vital role of compassionate care in cardiovascular medicine. Outside of her work, she enjoys hiking, paddleboarding, camping, and fishing with her husband. At home, she shares her life with two dogs, Billy and Blue, and a regal ragdoll cat named Arlo.

🎉 Happy National Mutt Day! 🎉
Today we’re celebrating the one and only Dougal aka Potato 🥔— the ultimate blend of Labrador loyalty and German Shepherd sass. 💛🖤

Dougal lives his best life in the water; just try getting him out of the lake, we dare you. 😂 He’s got that classic Shepherd whine and head tilt down, especially when someone says his favorite trigger word: BALL🎾 And his go-to treat…Duck jerky, obviously.🦆

He’s head over paws in love with his mama, Calee, and never far from her side. Plus he’s fiercely protective of his human little brothers. He adores his sister Mossy (the cutest Chessie you’ll ever meet) and cuddles up with his best feline buddy Darth Vader, a black and white kitty who’s part of the pack.

But that’s not all, Potato is also a lifesaver🩸💉 Every 8 weeks, he rolls up his furry sleeve to donate blood here at Advanced Veterinary Care, helping save the lives of other pups in need. He’s a true Canine Blood Hero and our favorite mutt through and through.

Give it up for Dougal…handsome, heroic, and 100% lovable mutt! 🐾💖

🚨 Stuck between a ROCK and a hard place… Paco’s Back at It! 🪨🐾

Meet Paco, a lovable Labrador with a very questionable taste in snacks. This sweet boy has a history of eating things he definitely shouldn’t, including concrete in the past!! He recently came to our ER for persistent vomiting and not being able to keep anything down. 💔

On exam, he was dehydrated, and his X-rays revealed something suspicious with a mineral opacity. A pneumocolonogram confirmed our hunch…a rock. To make matters trickier, chest X-rays showed early signs of aspiration pneumonia from all that vomiting. 😣

His amazing family approved an emergency abdominal surgery. During the explore, our surgery team found a rock lodged in his small intestine and performed an enterotomy to safely remove it. We also discovered a small calcified mass effect in the falciform fat near his sternum, ruling out a Bates body verse foreign body granuloma.

Thanks to IV fluids, antibiotics, pain control, and lots of love from our team, Paco made a great recovery! He’s now home rocking the cone of shame and resting up with strict instructions for quiet snuggles and leash walks for the next couple of weeks. 🦴❤️

Let’s all give this handsome guy a round of a-paws for being so tough…and fingers crossed he sticks to a diet of actual food from now on! 🐶💛

💙🐾 Luna the Warrior Pup 🐾💙

Say hello to Luna, a resilient Catahoula who’s been through more than her fair share, but proves time and time again she’s one tough cookie. 💪🍪

Luna was recovering from a TPLO surgery; a big knee fix, when her owner noticed something was very wrong. Luna, normally bright and alert, became lethargic, collapsed, went into shock, had pale gums, and just looked dumpy and was not at all herself. 😔

Our ER and surgery teams jumped into action. After an extensive workup, we found the culprit: a hemoabdomen, internal bleeding caused by a ruptured splenic mass. Instead of circulating through her body, her blood was pooling in her abdomen. Immediate surgery revealed the mass on her spleen had burst, and Luna required a blood transfusion and intensive post-op care.

We all held our breath as we waited for the biopsy results. With splenic masses, there’s a 50/50 chance of it being hemangiosarcoma, a highly aggressive cancer that typically gives pets less than 3 months. But Luna beat those odds, her mass was benign! 🙌💖

Thanks to her attentive, loving owners and the quick action of our emergency and surgical teams, Luna has not only a strong new knee, but a brighter, healthier future ahead. 🌈🐶

Luna, you inspire us all. 💙

🐝Roulette vs. The Bee 💥

Meet Roulette, a sweet little poodle who had a very bad reaction to a bee snack! 🐝😬 Shortly after munching the bee, Roulette became lethargic, wobbly, started excessively drooling, and began vomiting, all signs pointing to anaphylactic shock.

Our ER team jumped into action. An abdominal ultrasound showed classic gallbladder edema (which creates a striking “halo” appearance on ultrasound), often seen in severe allergic reactions. This earned Roulette a sleepover in our hospital for 24 hours of intensive support: IV fluids, antihistamines, steroids, and stomach protectants to keep him comfortable and safe while flushing his system.

By the next day, Roulette was back to his perky, tail-wagging self and more than ready to go home to his loving family, who missed him dearly. 🐾❤️

As a precaution, he went home on meds to continue protecting his tummy and block lingering allergic effects. Anaphylaxis is no joke and can present in several serious ways:
⚠️ Skin – hives, swelling, itching
⚠️ Respiratory – wheezing, throat tightness
⚠️ Cardiovascular – weak pulse, dizziness
⚠️ GI – vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain

We’re so proud of our fast-acting ER team for helping Roulette make a full recovery. From scary bee sting to safe and snuggly….way to go, Roulette! 🐾💪

🌟 Patient Spotlight: Barrington 🌟

Say hello to Barrington, the cutest, floofiest Wheaten Terrier pup you ever did see! 🐾 He came to our team for his neuter, but with a twist…only one testicle had descended.

Using ultrasound, we located the missing testicle nestled in his inguinal region. During surgery, it took some expert sleuthing to follow the s***matic cord and track it down, but with patience and skilled hands, we successfully found and removed it from his caudal abdomen. 💪🩺

Why is this so important? If an undescended testicle is left behind, it can still produce s***m and hormones; and more concerning, it increases the risk of future health issues. The retained testicle was smaller, a result of being exposed to higher temperatures inside the body.

Barrington is recovering like a champ and still stealing hearts with his sweet, scruffy charm. 💛 We’re so happy he’s on the mend and back to being his lovable self!
