Roxie has been seeing our Internal Medicine department for chronic GI symptoms. She’s been feeling so much better and is living her best life this summer! ☀️

Our Internal Medicine team found an unexpected surprise during a GI endoscopy procedure! Do you know the name of this little “friend”?

Sandy is an incredible lil’ lady! Sandy stayed at TVETS in the ICU for 9 days. She initially presented for vomiting and was found to have a fever. CT of her abdomen showed a ruptured gallbladder and emergency surgery was indicated. Sandy came out of surgery with flying colors, and made steady progress until she was ready for home! #gallbladdersurgery #gallbladdermucocele #emergencysurgery

Trevor made his first donation today! Trevor’s dating profile: Trevor loves to play ball, chase bubbles, hike with his moms, and is a champion napper! Trevor donates blood in his free time, helping his fellow canine friends! #blooddonation #canineblood #canineblooddonor
