A huge birthday shout for our nurse, Karrie! As one of our resident exotic pet afficionados, she gives our scaley friends all the cuddles so some of the more squeamish staff avoid heart attacks! Have the best of days Karrie! 🥳

This is why we recommend X-rays during a dental.

After cleaning the teeth they looked pretty darn good and then look at how the x-ray matches. The first two teeth on the first x-ray are disintegrating with resorptive lesions that we wouldn't have known. The bottom one also had both massive bone loss and resorption going on. All three of those teeth had to be extracted and we would have left them in without x-rays potentially.

Our second staff pet that we are honoring by making her pet if the month is Ruth. Ruthie girl was such a little doll. Her sweet face always made our days brighter when we got to see her walking the halls of Best Friends. Here is a little back story from her family….

Ruth was adopted through Partners for Pets. We were told she was found sitting near the McKinley bridge and was picked up by a police officer near Venice IL. She wasn’t in a foster home long until we adopted her at 6 months old. Ruth loved car rides, going on looooooong walks, and being the laziest couch potato (although she had her zoomie moments). She could be quite stubborn with getting out of bed and from coming in from outside. She loved to sunbathe in the grass on a warm, sunny day. “Ruthie” loved her food and could be coaxed with just about any treat. Her heart was full of love and lots of slobbery kisses. You will be missed Ruthie. 🌈🐾 💕

In honor of two staff pets we lost this month, we are going to remember them by featuring them as our pets of the month. The first is Big! 🐾 ❤️ This gentle giant was always a joy to see around the hospital. He just had a way of putting a smile on your face. Here is a little back story on him from his family….

Big aka the biggest man
Even though you only reached a little over 100 pounds, you had the biggest heart and made everyone happy with your nose nuzzles and happy prances. You were always considered our little genetic mess with your list of medical issues but we loved you right through them.
Likes: rope toys, water (especially the toilet), car rides/ road trips, and simply anything that involves galloping through a field.
Dislikes: his dad bothering him, people playing too much or being loud, and anyone walking up to his car.
You will be missed sweet boy. 🌈

We’re sending birthday wishes to our sometimes doctor (relief vet), Dr. Catherine! Her days are usually hectic and full but her smiling face makes her visits a highlight in our week! Happy birthday from all of us! 🥳
