World Veterinary Day!
“Veterinarians are essential health workers.”

We’d like to take a moment to celebrate not only our veterinarians but all of those in the veterinary field that contribute to the health of humans and animals alike. The term “one health” applies to human health, domestic pets, and wildlife. We applaud their achievements and dedication to the field.

Maple is a 3yr FS Cockapoo attending rehab post op L hemilaminectomy (spinal surgery) in Jan. When Maple first started rehab, she was deep pain negative and had no motor. She is now able to walk and push herself up. She is ataxic, but she is doing great and improving more each week! We are so proud of her and her determination to do more. Her parents have gotten her a cart to help assist her mobility and hopefully, she will not need it for too much longer. This sweet girl has an amazing family and all our support. We look forward to seeing what surprises she has ahead!

This Handsome boy is Chip, and he is perfect! Chip is a 9y MI Boxer attending rehab at our Annapolis office for underwater treadmill following diagnosis of Degenerative Myelopathy. During his first session, his owners already had a cart, assistive walking devices, a Help’em up harness and accessories, and quintessential beef treats. They were well prepared and continue to go above and beyond for this special boy. He has conquered cancer, successfully navigated Boxer Cardiomyopathy with vasovagal syncope, IVDD, and conservative management of cruciate disease with such gentle grace that has made him a team favorite. With so many people and dedicated parents in his corner as his disease progresses, we will fight to keep him as mobile and comfortable as possible.

It’s National walk day, but it’s dreary outside. It’s a perfect time to still be active with our indoor exercises. Whether you have equipment like us or use rolled towels and dogs beds, finding time to get in shape together is beneficial for overall health.

Mighty Dog is a 16yo M Jack Russell Terrier who is seeing our Hunt Valley team for conservative management for Left cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injury. Mighty Dog is a nervous friend, but is slowly warming up and does best with lots of cheering and praise. He has undergone laser therapy to help with pain and inflammation of the joint and surrounding muscles. He continues to get laser therapy, but now is much more comfortable and ready to start strengthening those hindlegs. We have also tried multiple brace support systems, but the perfect fit is eluding us due to his unique size. We are still working on that, but Mighty Dog is doing great and is owner has been patient and willing to go the extra mile for this distinguished gentleman. We hope to keep him happy and comfortable in his golden years. 🎖⭐🥇🚩
