We know many of our followers like to see the interesting and educational side of the things we do in the world of Vet med!

Dr. Sadie and Dr. Alyssa had an amazing opportunity here at Somerset Animal Hospital today, relieving a Great Dane dog of his 13.5lb tumor growing on his spleen.

These tumors typically have a large blood supply, and though a third of them tend to be benign, carrying something like this around in the abdomen can put a patient at risk for acute bleeding and painful discomfort.
We're happy to report our patient is resting comfortably in recovery, and will go home a little lighter of a fellow.

Happy National Cat day to all of our feline friends! (though we're quite sure every cat thinks EVERY day is National Cat Day...)

Some interesting cat facts:
🐱 Cats can jump to nearly 6 times their body length
🐈 Cats have whiskers on the back of their front legs!
🐾 Some cats are ambidextrous, but 40 percent are either left- or right-pawed--males are usually thought to be more left-pawed and females right-pawed
🐱 Cats will refuse an unpalatable food to the point of starvation
🐈 Cats have a unique “vocabulary” with their owner — each cat has a different set of vocalizations, purrs and behaviors . Cats have up to 100 different vocalizations, while dogs usually only have 10
🐾 Meowing is a behavior that cats developed exclusively to communicate with people
Every Scottish Fold cat in the world can trace its heritage back to the first one, which was found in Scotland in the 1960s

Meet the Technician 🤗

A special mention to Gretchen, our lead CSR, for her support and assistance to our Technicians and our Doctors here at SAH. You all know her as the familiar smiling face at the front desk, with her sidekick Dace helping to assist our clients' needs.
Not only is Gretchen fantastic at keeping our schedule flowing and addressing online pharmacy and PetDesk requests, but she is also ready to assist with appointments and pets who need a familiar face to help make their experience a little less nerve-wracking. Gretchen has experience in many realms of animal care including horses, dairy cows, cats of all origins, and dogs , which she shares a particularly strong instinctive connection with. We're grateful to have Gretchen's support and skill to supplement our team!

Meet the technician!! 😊

As we approach the end of tech week, we would like to recognize Emily's contributions as a skilled technician. Despite her primary role as our esteemed practice manager, Emily possesses exceptional expertise in veterinary technology. With extensive experience in the field, she is now preparing to take the national exam to become a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT).

We are immensely proud to have Emily as part of our team. Her unwavering dedication and willingness to assist her colleagues make her an invaluable asset. Her exceptional work ethic and reliability are truly remarkable, and we are fortunate to have her on our team. 💕

Meet the Technician! ☺️

Jenna has been with SAH since the fall of 2019. She is currently working hard towards finishing her Vet Tech certification within the Penn Foster Associates program. As our lead technician, you will find her creating treatment plans for clients, assisting in surgery, overseeing inventory, and making sure that all hospitalized patients are safe and comfortable during their stay with us. Her kindness and empathy truly shine through with each patient she cares for.
Jenna also has a very creative mind and is always looking for ways to help the clinic grow and offer more to our clients and their pets, as well as coming up with ideas to keep our team inspired and connected. We are grateful for Jenna and look forward to supporting her as she continues her Vet Tech journey!

Meet the Technician! ☺️

Marina has been part of the SAH team since 2021, and in addition to being an avid horse enthusiast, a photographer, a student, and a mom, she is an awesome Tech working her way towards her Associates degree and certification in Veterinary Technology.
Most days you'll find her assisting in surgery, but she is present in every part of the clinic, also helping in appointments and assisting clients up front. Marina is driven to succeed in the Veterinary field and she has the heart and spark to propel herself forward; she already has some great experience and will continue to grow, as she is a natural with pets of all varieties! We are grateful to have Marina on staff, and look forward to supporting her in her progress!

Meet the Technician!!

Abby is an integral part of the support staff, both on the surgery/treatment room floor, and behind the scenes , helping with the administrative things that need to get done to keep the clinic going strong. (Like we said, technicians wear MANY hats!) Abby has been part of our team since 2020, and despite her long commute to get to SAH each day, she chooses to make us her home, and for that we're grateful.
You may know her best by her friendly voice and contagious smile. You may also hear her cooing to each pet she takes care of with her signature baby greetings 😊 Abby is a driving force behind the success of our clinic and happiness of our clients.
