Reunited at last this sweet boy had been missing for 13 YEARS! Cloud came in under the name of Nola. The wonderful Mr. Jackson took Nola (Cloud) in as a stray, he gave him a warm home and feed him as one of his own pets. He came to Animal hospital of Parkland to provide Nola (Cloud) with medical treatment and to check for a microchip. Upon checking for a microchip we found that not only did Nola (Cloud) have a chip but it’s registered. We called the number and Ian picked up. They let us know that Cloud had been missing for 13 years and would come right away to get their baby! Cloud now gets to go home with his long lost parent. Cloud was found 25 miles away from his original home. It’s so touching to know that cloud doesn’t have to spend another winter in the cold Washington streets.

Thank you Mr. Jackson! Congratulations Cloud🤍

Does your pet have bad breath? This could be a sign of dental disease.

Dental disease, common in pets by the age of 3, is a painful condition that is easily preventable. If left untreated, bacteria can be absorbed into their blood stream and contribute to both heart and kidney disease.

With annual dental exams, we will look for any signs of dental disease. To keep your pet’s breath smelling fresh and their overall health on track, contact us to schedule their dental exam!

There is not a single doctor in this picture….

This patient arrested and is surrounded by ICU/ER nurses that are LEADING a CPR code.

Veterinary nurses go through several years of studying, pass boards and go through massive cross-training in their workplace. One nurse will know how to draw blood, place IV catheters, run multiple bloodwork analysis machines (and troubleshoot them), monitor anesthesia, do client communication, manage complicated equipment, calculate CRIs, console a client that lost their pet AND make sure they cuddle their patients so they don’t feel scared. This is a short list of the multiple responsibilities that these amazing individuals have. But today, I want to specifically give a shout out to ICU and ER veterinary nurses.

Veterinary ICU and ER nurses are the most bad-ass nurses you’ll ever encounter. If you don’t blink an eye at this statement, it’s probably because you’ve had all your trainees go through ER to be trained first before they go to their other services, you’ve run to ER/ICU to have them stabilize that consult that turned into an emergency, you’ve sought out their amazing phlebotomy skills when no one else can get an IV, and you’ve trusted them with your patients once they are hospitalized in the ICU.

Veterinary ICU/nurses are struggling right now… they are short staffed, under paid and some are under appreciated and underutilized for their skill level. I will say this over and over again… LISTEN to your nurses! When they tell you they are concerned, go over to that patient and examine them again, ask them for their input, listen to their ideas, treat them as the qualified health professionals they are. They play a vital role in patient care and we would not be able to function without them.

This picture reflects the competency, autonomy, leadership and passion that you can nurture in your nurses if you allow them grow and treat them as our equals.

Show your ER/ICU nurses some love, not just today, but EVERY DAY.
