Meet our resilient friend! Despite a diagnosis of Azotemia, this pup is showing incredible strength and spirit at our hospital. Our dedicated Internal Medicine Service, led by board-certified Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Kimmel, is collaborating closely with our Emergency Team, including board-certified critical care specialist Dr. Sylvane, to provide expert care and support every step of the way. With their combined expertise, lots of love & care from Michael, LVT & Dina, Veterinary Assistant we’re working hard to ensure our furry friend receives the best treatment possible. Wondering what Azotemia is? Azotemia is a condition that occurs when the kidneys have been damaged by injury, disease, or medications, and they’re unable to get rid of enough nitrogen waste in the body. Conditions that may lead to development of prerenal azotemia include dehydration, congestive heart failure, and shock. #lifeatvca #vca #pets #vetmed #veterinary #veterinarymedicine #vetinternalmedicine #vetcriticalcare #lvt #vetassistants #vcacareers
Love is in the air, even in the operating room! 💕 Today, Dr. Stern, one of our talented board-certified surgeons, rocked her own self made scrub cap as she and her team (Caroline, LVT, Jackie, LVT & Dr. Stella) performed a mandibulectomy on Rocko. Wondering what a mandibulectomy is? It’s the removal of a portion of the lower jaw bone, called the ‘mandible.’ Commonly done to remove tumors. We are sending healing vibes and Valentine’s wishes to Rocko & all our patients & their families! #lifeatvca #vca #vet #vetmed #veterinary #veterinarysurgery #veterinarysurgeon #veterinaryspecialist #boardcertified #pets #dogs #lvt #valentinesday #vcacareers

Hitting a study block? No problem! Senior Talent Acquisition Partner Lauren Gerrish’s back-to-school tip focuses on how she recuperates in that situation: “Rest and reset. Keep the blood sugar up, and keep the blood flowing. Step away for a moment if you feel mentally fatigued and emotionally drained. Have a light snack, drink water and get up from your seat. Stretch, take a walk or climb some stairs. Now you are refreshed, recharged, ready to sit back down and refocus on the task at hand.” #lifeatvca #vcapets #vcacareers #careerdevelopment #careergoals #career

Properly cleaning a wound is an important first step of care. Make sure to seek medical help after any bite wound, especially if the animal is suspected to have rabies.

Regional Technician Director Ashley Byrne has been undergoing hands-free radiology studies with the Northwest Veterinary Specialists to make VCA radiology as safe as can be! Her study tip? “Set a timer! Fifty minutes of study, a 10-minute break. Repeat as necessary and reward yourself after! Complete your homework, then enjoy free time. If available, read your grading rubrics very carefully. I see many students put out excellent work but receive low grades because they didn’t understand what they were being graded on.” #lifeatvca #vcacareers #careerdevelopment #careergoals #career #backtoschool #continuingeducation

Melissa Hulgreen, Regional Technician Director at VCA West Coast Specialty and Emergency Animal Hospital, shares her top tip on how to avoid burnout: “Finding a hobby that had nothing to do with veterinary medicine helped me find a space to truly reset my focus and prioritize my mental health while in school. Volunteering for a wildlife sanctuary is tempting and rewarding, but finding an activity like ceramics or hiking helps you find joy and an identity outside the veterinary field. This is just one tool I utilize to protect against burnout as I have progressed through my career.” #lifeatvca #vcacareers #careerdevelopment #careergoals #career #backtoschool #continuingeducation
