This is Gordo! He came to us after being attacked by another dog, which caused a proptosed eye (when the eye is forced out of its socket). This is a painful, emergency condition that often requires surgery.

In Gordo’s case, the best treatment was to surgically remove the injured eye to keep him comfortable and prevent further complications. Dogs adjust incredibly well to life with one eye — and Gordo is proof!

We were thrilled to receive this photo of him now, fully recovered and back home where he’s happy, healthy, and just as lovable as ever.

What you should know about proptosed eyes:

Usually caused by trauma (such as dog fights, accidents, or rough play).

Immediate veterinary care is essential.

Even if an eye can’t be saved, pets can live a full, happy life after surgery.

Please join us in celebrating Gordo’s bravery and resilience by sending him some love in the comments below!

Over the weekend, Duke came to us after experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. These are common but serious warning signs in dogs — especially puppies and young adults.

We quickly tested him for parvovirus (parvo), a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening illness. Sadly, Duke’s test came back positive. He required hospitalization, IV fluids, medications, and close monitoring to give him the best chance at recovery.

What is Parvo?

Parvo is a virus that attacks the gastrointestinal tract, causing severe dehydration, weakness, and loss of appetite.

It spreads easily through infected stool, surfaces, or even on shoes and clothing.

Without treatment, parvo can be, and often is, fatal.

Prevention is Key
The best protection against parvo is making sure your dog’s vaccinations are up to date. Puppies are especially vulnerable, so keeping them on schedule is critical until their vaccine series is complete.

Please remember: if your dog shows signs like vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, don’t wait — seek veterinary care right away. Early treatment saves lives!

Tessa, an 8-year-old pittie, came to us after a few days of vomiting, lethargy, and refusing food. On exam she was clearly uncomfortable, and given her history we suspected a foreign body. X-rays confirmed it — a corn cob lodged in her intestines.

Corn cobs are one of the most common foreign objects we see in dogs. They’re easy for pets to chew and swallow, but almost impossible to pass, often leading to dangerous blockages.

Our surgical team performed an enterotomy (intestinal surgery) to remove the obstruction. We’re happy to share that Tessa is recovering well and already showing signs of feeling much better.

If your dog is ever vomiting, not eating, lethargic, or painful in the belly, don’t wait — these may be signs of a foreign body that requires urgent care.

We’re so glad Tessa is on the mend and back on her road to recovery!

Ghost, a sweet pittie, came to us after swallowing something he definitely shouldn’t have — a rock. His X-rays showed the obstruction clearly, and surgery was the only way to get him back on track. Our team performed an enterotomy (a surgery to open the intestines) and successfully removed the rock.

Thanks to a payment plan through VetBilling.com, Ghost’s family was able to move forward with the treatment he needed. We’re happy to share that Ghost is now fully recovered and back to his happy, tail-wagging self!

Foreign objects like rocks, toys, and corn cobs are some of the most common emergencies we see. They can cause dangerous blockages that require urgent surgery. Signs of a possible foreign body include:
⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Loss of appetite
⚠️ Lethargy
⚠️ Abdominal discomfort

We’re so glad Ghost is feeling better — and this story is a reminder that safe, affordable care options exist when unexpected emergencies happen.

Oliver, a playful 1-year-old Golden Retriever, came to us after swallowing something he shouldn’t have, a bathtub drain stopper!

After diagnostics, we confirmed the foreign object was lodged in his stomach. Our team performed a gastrotomy (surgery to open the stomach) to remove it, and we’re happy to share that Oliver is recovering well.

Foreign body ingestion is something we see often, especially in young, curious dogs like Oliver. Objects that can’t pass safely may cause dangerous blockages. Symptoms to watch for include:
⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Loss of appetite
⚠️ Lethargy
⚠️ Abdominal discomfort

We’re so glad Oliver is on the mend, and his case is a good reminder to keep small household items out of reach from pets with “puppy curiosity.”

Wang Zai, a sweet 4-year-old Labrador who was transferred to our care for a possible foreign body obstruction. After some diagnostic work, we discovered the culprit: a corn cob lodged in his small intestine.

We successfully removed the corn cob, and Wang Zai is now on the road to recovery!

Corn cobs are one of the most common foreign objects we see in dogs. They’re easy for dogs to chew and swallow but very hard to pass, often leading to dangerous blockages. Symptoms of a foreign body can include:

⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Loss of appetite
⚠️ Lethargy
⚠️ Abdominal discomfort

We’re thrilled that Wang Zai is feeling better, but this is an important reminder to keep corn cobs (and other risky items) out of reach from curious pups.

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms—of both two-legged and four-legged troublemakers! 🐾💐

Today’s a reminder that any mischief your kids (furry or otherwise) get into is absolutely your fault… and also somehow still your responsibility. 😅💕

Thanks for the endless love, snacks, and supervision (even if it didn’t always work). We see you, we appreciate you—and so do your chaotic little creatures.

Teddy was referred to us for a possible intussusception that needed surgical intervention. With the help of a payment plan through VetBilling.com we were able to proceed with the care he needed despite cost constraints—because every pet deserves a chance!

Once in surgery, we discovered that Teddy didn’t have an intussusception after all, but instead had a linear foreign body. Linear foreign bodies, like string or thread, can cause the intestines to bunch up and twist, cutting through the intestinal walls and leading to life-threatening complications if not treated quickly.
We made an incision in Teddy’s stomach and successfully removed the foreign material.

We’re happy to share that he is now recovering comfortably at home with his family. 🏡💙 Big thanks to everyone involved in Teddy’s care—this is what teamwork and compassion can achieve!
