Have you ever seen a cuter face (and ears!)? 😍

Board-Certified Surgeon, Kurt Michelotti and Veterinary Technician, Lori recently visited Shiloh Veterinary Hospital. This sweet 7-month-old French Bulldog, who is currently at the foster for SNORT - Short Noses Only Rescue Team, suffered a tibial crest avulsion.

Dr. Michelotti had a short consult with him, resulting in a happy ending. His injury happened about a month ago and he’s no longer limping and has started to heal. 🥰🐕

We are grateful for the wonderful team at Shiloh Veterinary for allowing us to collaborate in his care! 🎉

Thank you for giving MOVES the opportunity to participate in the care of your patients! We look forward to collaborating again in the near future!

Dr. Michelotti, a Board-Certified Surgeon, and Lori Pearce, a Veterinary Technician, had their second visit at their new partner clinic, East York Veterinary Center. They saw Sam, a 10-year-old Terrier mix, who needed a TPLO procedure to help stabilize his knee joint.

🏥 VetMed Fact: Very similar to humans, dogs commonly suffer from injuries to the ligaments (Cranial Cruciate Ligament) and the cartilage (Meniscus) within the knee. Once these tissues are damaged, the knee becomes unstable and this leads to the development of swelling (effusion) within the joint. Overtime, arthritis will form, so not only will mobility be affected but the condition is painful.

Dr. Michelotti completed this successful procedure, and we are grateful for having the opportunity to participate in Sam’s care. We are wishing him a speedy recovery! 🐾❤️🎉

Cali has had quite the adventure recently, and Team Harrisburg was very grateful to be able partner with Shiloh Veterinary Hospital to assist in her recovery.

Cali went missing over two weeks ago 😧, but thankfully found her way back home🎉! When she returned, however, she had a significant limp affecting her left hind leg. X-rays revealed Cali has suffered some unknown trauma, resulting in a Coxofemoral Luxation (otherwise known as a luxated hip).

Dr. Michelotti performed an FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy), which will ensure she is pain free going forward. If you are interested in reviewing the before and after x-rays, please check them out in the comments!

As always, thank you to the phenomenal team at Shiloh Veterinary Hospital for allowing us to participate in the care of your patients. We appreciate you!

Team Harrisburg visited Shiloh Veterinary Hospital to perform an MPL surgery on Tink, this adorable 1-year-old Cavapoo.

This surgery stabilizes the kneecap when patients like Tink suffer from a patellar luxation; a condition where the kneecap moves out of its natural position. If left untreated, the movement from the kneecap could predispose to the development of arthritis and can lead to mobility issues.

This sweet girl will feel so much better now, and we are wishing her a speedy recovery! Hopefully she'll be back to running and playing in no time! We appreciate having the opportunity to participate in her care!

Dr. Michelotti and Lori met Maxwell, a 10-month old French Bulldog, at Centre Animal Hospital to correct his Brachycephalic Airway Obstructive Syndrome (BAOS).

Commonly encountered in brachycephalic dogs, stenotic nares (narrowed nostrils) and an elongated soft palate are widened and trimmed, respectively. This ensures Maxwell can breathe easier and will reduce his risk for overheating and developing other complications in the future!

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads and Pet Dads!🐶🐾🦴🐾🦮
We’d love to see pictures of your pets with their Pet Dad today! 📸 🦮

It was "Take Your Dad to Work Day" for Dr. Kurt Michelotti. However, it wasn't his dad's first rodeo and we love seeing two veterinarians in the family! 🥼🩺🐾

Dr. Michelotti not only graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, but he did so first in his class in 1983! He opened Centre Animal Hospital in 1988, and he remained there until he retired a few years ago.

Now Dr. Michelotti gets to watch his son excel in the same industry that still embraces him. Make sure to say Hello if you happen to see this phenomenal Father and Son duo around town!

Thank you to the brave heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, and the families who live with their loss. 🇺🇸

Meet Skylar, an adorable 7-month old pup, who needed Team Harrisburg's help after suffering from a metacarpal fracture.

📚 VetMed Fact: The metacarpal bones are the bones on the forelimb of the dog that connect the “wrist” (the carpus) to the toes (the phalanges); think of the bones in your hand!

Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital called Dr. Michelotti & Lori to their practice to perform Skylar's repair. We are so happy that we were able to help this sweet girl, and we're sending her healing wishes for a speedy recovery!
