This is 12 year old Alvin and we are so proud of him! In November he developed a painful tumor encompassing his entire left paw. He withdrew from his family and went into hiding. When his parents brought him to us it was determined that Alvin would need to undergo an amputation to live. He was such a trooper during the procedure and recovery, and today he is back to his best self! He is racing around the house on his three legs and holds his own with his two big black lab siblings and his 6 year old feline little sister. We love you, Alvin!

Emergency fun! What do you do when you have three doctors and eight techs on duty and the appointments cancel due to winter weather? Why, you send a scout to Ames True Value for an emergency snow tube purchase, of course. The team that plays together, stays together! : )

This is EB and she has had quite an eventful few weeks. EB is from Connecticut and is 18 years old and has been spending early fall out on Monhegan Island, which is 12 nautical miles offshore. EB used to be affectionate but recently injured her eye and started hiding and even growling when someone touched her. Her family boarded the ferry and made the 12 mile trip into Rockland and then drove her to us in Wiscasset. By time EB got to us she was in a lot of pain and her eyeball had ruptured. We made a plan to do emergency surgery that day and her family had to unexpectedly get a hotel room on the mainland for the night because the ferries only run a couple times a day this late in the season. By the next day EB was feeling much better and was back on the ferry out to Monhegan. Her family reports she is so much happier now and is purring constantly, nuzzling everyone, and is friendlier than ever after her ordeal. Living so far offshore is not easy when you are senior citizen kitty, but her family spared no expense or inconvenience to help her when they needed to and we were happy to be a part EB's adventure for care!

Reuniting with Marshall!

Last November Marshall and his human mom were in terrible car accident in which his mom was knocked unconscious and Marshall's body was ejected through the back window of the car. Marshall was brought to us while his mom was brought to the human hospital. He had a fractured femur on one back leg and some of the skin and toes had been torn from his other hind leg. Marshall did survive the accident but we performed care and bandage changes on his every few days for many weeks. His injuries were very painful and he was such a trooper during his care. Now nearly a year later Marshall has fully healed with only some subtle deformities of his hind paw, and he is a happy, healthy boy with no lasting disabilities. He visited this past week with both his Mom and Dad, and the family was happy to report everyone is doing well! We love you, Marshall!

Happy Birthday, Griff! Would you believe this youthful looking lad is 18 years old this week? And would you believe he had to go under anesthesia for dentistry last week after breaking a tooth, and that he came out like a champ and is feeling much better now? You are like a fine wine, Griff - only better with age!

Goodness, we have received news that we are one of the top three finalists for the "Best of the Midcoast" title hosted by the Portland Press Herald and Brunswick Times Record each year. The voting period has ended and the results will be announced in September. We are so honored to hear we were not only nominated, but were voted into the top three. Thank you, Wiscasset Vet community!

This is 1 year old Alaskan Malamute Ranger. Shortly after Ranger's first birthday he had a change in personality. He stopped playing with his toys, growled at the other dogs in the home that he used to get along with, and started spending all day alone in his crate in self-isolation. Eventually his eyes became red and he started pawing at his face and when his family brought him to us we discovered he had a rare form of glaucoma that Malamutes can be prone to, and it had blinded him irreversibly despite his young age. Ranger had already adjusted to his blindness but we needed to enucleate his eyes to end his pain.

When we checked on Ranger and his family the day after the surgery we received the most heartwarming news. That very first morning post-op Ranger got out a toy he had received for Christmas that he had never once played with. Despite it being July, Ranger finally played with his Christmas gift for the first time, free of his pain. His family reports that he now happily throws his toys up in the air and plays, and no longer chooses to spend time alone in his crate. He is a happy boy that loves to play and engage with the family once again. Hearing this was a Christmas in July gift for us as well!

Meet Dakota! Dakota is a mini Bernadoodle that just celebrated her 1st birthday, and making it to age 1 has been no small feat for her. Dakota was born with Tetralogy of Fallot. This is a congenital heart condition in which the heart develops improperly in four areas. The most severe abnormality is a hole between the two largest chambers of the heart that allows unoxygenated blood coming back from the body to be sent out to the body again without picking up new oxygen from the lungs. The result is that Dakota's gums and tongue appear blue instead of pink, and she can get out of breath very easily. Her body also makes too much blood to try to compensate, so Dakota takes a chemotherapy drug to slow this and sometimes we need to actually remove blood from her body to keep her comfortable.

Dakota is a happy girl that loves life, and she does not feel sorry for herself. Her family is very loving and have done a wonderful job giving her the best life she can have. It has been very special that Dakota has survived until her first birthday and although she is not likely to live long in this world, she and her family savor each day. I think we could all learn a lesson from young Dakota!
