Are you aware of the dangers of foxtails?
Foxtails are an animals worst nightmare!
They can attach themselves anywhere to your pet and then those pesky little guys get to work. They start to migrate and can become embedded into your pets skin causing multiple issues, which is painful and expensive to fix. They can even migrate internally causing severe problems and can even be fatal. Review the info on the picture to see the most common places to check and what to watch out for. We're here 24/7 for all your urgent needs and concerns!

In celebration of National Corn Cob Day (which was yesterday June 11th), Mila got a little too excited and swallowed a large piece of corn cob!! Luckily her parents brought her to our hospital where we were able to perform surgery in a timely manner to remove the corn cob. Mila has recovered great and gets to go home!

For those who may not know, corn cobs are not digestible and if swallowed will cause serious complications.

Symptoms to watch for:
Dehydration (sticky gums)
Diarrhea or Constipation
Vomiting &/or Retching
Lethargy (tired, inactive, less responsive)
Abdominal pain (doesn’t want stomach touched & abnormal stretching)
Bloated or swollen stomach
Loss of appetite

In case you run into this accident, we're here for all your emergency needs 24/7.

A construction crew was working on Highway 17 in Santa Cruz County Sunday night when an enormous gray rabbit hopped up.
The big bunny was close to traffic winding along Highway 17, so the workers alerted California Highway Patrol officers of the situation. A CHP officer was able to catch the rabbit and named it “Bugs.”
The CHP wrote, “Our officers gave Bugs a cozy ride to Pacific & Santa Cruz Veterinary Specialists, where he’s now receiving the care he needs. A big shoutout to the vigilant workers who spotted Bugs and took quick action to ensure his safety. Kindness and prompt response made all the difference.”

Coffee NOW!

You ever have one of those mornings where you would do anything for your coffee? Even slap your mom? Clearly Hobbes is having one of those days today. SCVH’s ICU tech Laura was not harmed in the making of this video 😉 AND Hobbes did not get a single drop of the coffee he was being denied! #handsomehobbes #naughtylist #scvh #coffeeplease

Surgery Day

Busy morning with specialty surgery check-ins today. We caught the handsome and loveable Gus waiting to get his TPLO surgery and (surprisingly) were able to get a video of Jazz checking in for her laparoscopic spay as well. Her butt sure had the wiggles. Laparoscopic spays offer patients less pain and recovery time than traditional spays and are done through only 2 to 3 tiny incisions in the abdomen (typically 3/16”). Give our referral coordinator a call for more information. In the meantime, admire these cutie pies and stay dry out there! #petsloveSCVH #lapspay #tplo

Don’t you wish OUR work days started out like this!?! Dr. Mohr’s Beze and Monica’s Roscoe are pretty excited to see each other this morning. I am not sure they realize it is 7AM. Guess they are ready for the weekend already! #partyanimals #playtime #scvh #thankdogitsfriday #tgif
