Meet Pocket! Can you guess why Pocket visited us, based on his X-ray? 🐾🩺 Comment below!

To us, isn’t just about celebrating pets. 🐾 It’s also about celebrating the unbreakable bond between pets and their parents! We spend a lot of time with so many fiercely loving and dedicated pet parents, who go above and beyond for their fur babies.

We know firsthand that, at times, owning a pet can be tough, stressful, and heartbreaking. But we also know that being a pet parent means daily love, joy, loyalty, hilarity, and comfort. YOU are making a significant and positive impact in your pet’s life by giving them a home, unconditional love, and a friend for life!

Thank you to the dog moms, the cat dads, and everything in between. As always, give your pet extra love from us, but today give yourself a pat on the back as well!

📌 UPDATE 4/10/22 8:00 AM We are now open for emergency care and have resumed our 24/7 hours. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Happy Wednesday from us and sweet Bella!

Puppy alert!🚨 Our wonderful receptionist brought in the most adorable helper. We just had to share that cute face!! 😍

Any Star Trek fans out there? Today we cared for a Wheaten Terrier, who had been perfectly named. Meet Will Wheaton! 😆🥰

We love seeing the creativity and care you guys put into naming your pets. What's your favorite pet name that you've come across?!

Happy Respect Your Cat Day! Did you know that 44% of Americans prefer cats over friends? A recent study reported 2 in 5 Americans say they’d rather spend time at home with their cat rather than go out with their friends. I mean... same. 🐱❤

In honor of our favorite furry felines, we've put together a popular plant toxicity list! Help us keep your cat out of our hospital by keeping these plants out of your house! 🚫🌱

Wait wait wait, it was yesterday and we missed it?! We refuse to lose out on an opportunity to post puppies, even if we're a day late! 😆 Happy National Puppy Day from EAHCC West! 🐶❤🐾

Ever notice your pet acting unusual and thought to check their gums? 🤔 Bentley's pet parent did! Bentley's owner woke up and noticed Bentley exhibiting some strange behavior and extreme lethargy. They took a look at Bentley's gums, saw they were extremely pale, and immediately rushed him in. Due to their quick thinking, Bentley survived and is back home, happy and healthy. 🐾❤️

If you're unfamiliar with gum colors, take a look at our infographic below to learn what to watch out for!

Someone showed up dressed to impress. 😻

And the winner for the Hospital's Best Hair Do goes to Oro!! 🏆

Oro was admitted to us after he got a positive parvo test at his primary vet. He was monitored for two days, then sent home after showing incredible improvement. Oro was one of the lucky ones, as Parvo is a serious disease with a high fatality rate.

With parvo, prevention is key. It is imperative for puppies to get all of their shots and avoid areas where infection is possible. You can learn more about Parvo in the infographic below! 👇

Meet Bristol! This sweet curly Q came in for vomiting and bloody diarrhea. 🤢🤒

In Bristol's case, her pet parents were able to rule out the possibility of a foreign body or toxic ingestion. This tells us that the most likely cause of her symptoms were either Pancreatitis or HGE. Due to the relatively common diagnosis of Pancreatitis or HGE, we thought we'd share an infographic detailing the causes, symptoms, and treatment. Bristol is now back home, feeling much better!

If your pet is experiencing any vomiting and/or diarrhea, it's best to bring them to your nearest ER, as they're most likely dehydrated. The vet can let you know what tests/treatment should be done from there. Let us know if you have any questions!

Happy to our incredible staff!!! Your commitment, compassion, and love for pets continues to inspire us every day! We are so grateful for each and every one of you! ❤️🩺

Meet Stella! 🐾 Stella was admitted to us after she had gone through the trash, resulting in vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and lethargy. In order to rule out an intestinal blockage, we needed to take an x-ray of her stomach.

Did you know?
• Generally, x-rays of pets account for only 18% of the radiation to which they are exposed. The majority of radiation exposure comes from their food, drinking water, and other environmental sources.
• X-rays are safe and the effectiveness of using them as a diagnostic tool far outweigh the limited radiation exposure they cause.
• X-rays are used to identify fractured bones, diagnose other medical conditions like cancer, pneumonia, any stomach/bowel obstructions, bladder and kidney stones.

As you may be able to tell from the x-rays, Stella's stomach was clear of any foreign bodies! She was then given a blood test, where our Doctor diagnosed her with Gastroenteritis, most likely caused by dietary Indiscretion. She's back home so she can relax and her pet parent can monitor her!

Visit and follow our Instagram to see our technicians, Kelsey and Destinee, prepare Stella for her x-rays!

Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day!
