🍀 Axolotl Luck? You Bet! 🍀 Some say finding a four-leaf clover is lucky, but have you ever seen an axolotl up close? These little aquatic wonders are just as rare and magical! ✨ 🐸 Axolotls can regrow entire limbs, parts of their heart, and even their brain! Talk about a built-in luck bonus! 🌊 Unlike most amphibians, they stay in their larval form their whole lives—basically, they never grow up! 💚 In the wild, axolotls are only found in one lake in Mexico, making them even rarer than a pot of gold! 🌈 Check out this adorable little guy enjoying his lucky worm snack! 🍀🐸 💬 Comment below: If you had an axolotl, what would you name it? Let's hear your most creative names! 👇 #Axolotl #LuckyAxolotl #StPatricksDay #RareAndMagical #VetTechLife #ExoticPets

🥧🦎 Pi Day… but make it reptile edition! Meet Opal! 🦎🥧 Happy Pi Day (3.14)! While we usually celebrate with pie 🥧, Opal the chameleon prefers live snacks instead! 🍃🐛 Watch this young chameleon’s tongue strike in slow motion—it’s as precise as a mathematician calculating π to the 100th decimal! 🤓📏 Fun Facts About Chameleons: 🔹 Their tongues shoot out 2-3 times faster than a blink! 😱 🔹 They don’t actually change color to blend in—they do it for mood, temperature, and communication. 🔹 Their eyes move independently, giving them nearly 360-degree vision! 👀 🐛 But chameleons are not beginner pets! They need: ⚠️ Precise humidity & temperature—too much or too little can cause health issues. ⚠️ Live food only—no pies or frozen meals for these guys! ⚠️ Large, well-ventilated enclosures—glass tanks don’t work! ⚠️ UVB lighting—essential for bone health. Drop a 🦎 in the comments if you love chameleons! And tell us—what’s your favorite kind of pie? 🥧👇 #Chameleon #PiDay #VetTechLife #ReptileLover #ReptileCare #ChameleonFeeding #SlowMotion #314 #PiDayFun

We are so excited to announce that we now have a CT!! 😲 This video is of a fluoroscopy being done on a cat while it was eating. If you look closley, you can see the food going down as the pet swallows it. We are thrilled to be able to offer both CT and fluoroscopy diagnostics here at Arbor View Animal Hospital. Keep your eyes out for additional information, videos, and pictures we will be posting in this upcoming week. 🙂 #CT #fluoroscopy #cat #diagnostic #pets
