🎬 The one where women lead the V•E•G way.✨ Earlier this month, we proudly shared that women represent 60% of leadership positions at VEG. To celebrate Women’s History Month, we held a panel discussion with a handful of inspiring VEG leaders, and with help from our women’s network group (WNG) - a community within VEG dedicated to supporting and empowering women in their professional growth and development. Panelists shared their personal career journeys, offered valuable advice, and answered live questions. One of our favorite quotes from the evening: “To appreciate life you have to understand there’s death; to appreciate success you have to understand there’s failure” - Karen Rosenthal, VP Medical Education. Let’s continue to support and empower each other in making history! 💪✨ #WomenLeaders #Empowerment #CareerJourney #VEGWay #VEGolution 🚀

Valentine was in a fight with his housemate, leaving him with puncture wounds. His owner, stressed and exhausted, found solace in being able to snuggle her baby while we worked our magic. Saying 'yes' to moments like these is what makes our job truly heartwarming. ❤️‍🩹🐾 📍VEG Edgewater #vegolution #pethospital #greatdane #mindblowingexperience

This photo captures the essence of keeping people and pets together, a reminder of the meaningful connections we build every day. ❤️‍🩹🐾 Meet Emmy and her incredible mom, who's not just a pet parent but a superhero. Three days in, her dedication to Emmy has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. 🥹 Emmy's mom IS now an 'honorary VEGgie,' is mastering the art of 'New Triage' announcements and even handling Emmy's fluid connections like a pro! 🚀💧 Every day, we're reminded of the extraordinary impact we are able to make! 📍VEG Charlotte #vegolution #pethospital #dogs #vetmed

When Leo the #goldenretriever got into the trash, he needed an abdominal ultrasound. His mama jumped in to help keep him nice and comfy during the ultrasound and got to watch and learn all about what she was seeing! ❤️🐾 Keeping people and their pets together makes all the difference! 📍VEG Oro Valley #vegolution #pethospital #dogs #family #cute

PSA - ‼️ Lilies cause kidney failure in cats. Even the slightest amount (even just pollen on the face!) can be fatal. Unfortunately, most stores do not have a warning on plants like this. On an ER basis, most cats we see with lily toxicity happen with owners who had no clue. Please don’t bring these into your home if you have kitties! 🫶🏼 If your cat was exposed, please contact ASPCA Pet Poison Control at 888-426-4435 and bring to your nearest ER. Treatment typically includes 2 to 3 days on IV fluids and monitoring kidney values every 24 hours. The typical price for this is around 3-7k and is completely avoidable! Please share the message, and if you haven’t already, get pet insurance! 🫶🏼 @veterinary_emergency_group #vegambassador #veterinaryemergencygroup #cat #catlover #catsofinstagram #easter #lilies #toxicplants #catsoftiktok #catmom #catdad #petcare #plants #plantmom #plantlife #plantdad

This pet parent faced a daunting search for a vet that would help her pig on a Sunday. Luckily, VEG is always open and we find a way to say yes! 🚀✨ What did we do you asked?! When the owner was unable to lift the pig into her car by herself, our vet nurses Emily and Celeste swooped in to the rescue! 📍VEG Arboretum #vegolution #pethospital #pig

Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV) is a life threatening emergency. What do we know about it? Well it tends to happen in large to giant breed, older dogs. Commonly presents with a large distended stomach and history of non-productive retching. Diagnostic view: Right lateral X-ray Emergency Treatment involves: 1. Two IV catheters 2. Shock Bolus (10-20ml/kg) 3. Pain Meds (I start with methadone - please don’t use Buprenorphine before sending for surgery. It’s not enough pain control and binds tightly to the mu receptors so other pure mu opioids won’t work as well) 4. Trocharization of the stomach (ultrasound to make sure spleen isn’t in the way) Helpful discussion points: 1. We don’t know what caused it - could be a foreign body vs cancer vs no reason at all 2. Prognosis is pretty good once it is de-rotated but they can have motility problems since the pylorus controls upper GI movement (and that’s where you pexy) 3. Have to make decisions quickly as time is of the essence for these guys. Need to get into surgery quickly. I have done a lot of GDV surgeries as an emergency vet and it’s SO amazing watching these patients leave the hospital ♥️ As far as post op complications, it’s really hit or miss. Best advice? Prepare the owner for anything and everything that could go wrong. Annabelle is still having some post-op ileus and it makes me really sad because I am attached to her outcome. Even on vacation, we think about our patients. Maybe it’s a younger doctor thing? Or maybe it’s just my personality? I can shut it off mostly, but just so everyone knows, your pets are literally in our dreams and we think about the hard cases long after they’re home and healthy with their owners. It’s part of the job, I suppose. The connections we make when we save a life are forever ♥️ So send lots of positive healing vibes to all the puppies out there getting surgery today. Swipe right to see Annabelle leave the hospital 🥹 #veg #vegambassador #gdv #emergencyvet #veterinarian #emergencysurgery
