Earlier this week this sweet little horse was referred to us for encucleation after a devastating eye injury. He went home today with a little extra sparkle protecting the incision. We are grateful for Dr. Stofas’s equine surgical skills and Thomas for the fun.

As summer comes to an end, a few of our incredible Animal Care Attendants are heading back to school. While we're so proud of them and excited for what's ahead, we're definitely going to miss them around the clinic! ❤️

That means we're looking for another hardworking, dependable animal lover to join the Southwest Texas Veterinary Medical Center family.

If you don't mind rolling up your sleeves, love being part of a team, and want to make a difference in the lives of pets every day, we'd love to meet you!

🐰💕 Patient Spotlight: Meet Willow! 💕🐰

Isn’t she adorable? Willow hopped into Southwest Texas Veterinary Medical Center looking as cute as ever… tucked safely inside her favorite plaid carrier. We think she may have been wondering why her chauffeur brought her to the vet instead of the produce section! 🥕😉

Rabbits are wonderful companions, but they’re also experts at hiding illness. Regular wellness exams are one of the best ways to catch problems early and keep them happy and healthy for years to come.

A few rabbit health reminders:
🥬 Feed unlimited grass hay every day.
🥕 Offer fresh leafy greens and a balanced rabbit pellet.
🦷 Rabbit teeth grow continuously, making dental health especially important.
❤️ If your bunny stops eating or producing droppings, don’t wait—it’s an emergency and they should be seen by a veterinarian right away.

Thank you, Willow, for being such a sweet patient and brightening our day with those precious floppy ears and whiskers! We can’t wait to see you again. 🐇💙

🎉Wishing our amazing summer veterinary student intern, Michaela Moreno, the very best as she heads back to Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine for her second year! 💙❤️

It has been such a pleasure watching you grow in your confidence, knowledge, and clinical skills over the course of the summer. Every day you embraced new challenges with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.

From doctoring baby pigs, ducks and chickens and a baby addax to replacing cow prolapses, delivering calves, rehabbing baby addax, assisting with splenectomies, enucleations, and emergency GDV surgeries—you truly experienced the wide variety that mixed animal practice has to offer!

More importantly, you built relationships with our team, our clients, and their animals, always showing compassion, professionalism, and a genuine love for veterinary medicine.

Thank you for spending your summer with us and allowing us to be a small part of your veterinary journey. We are incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see all that you’ll achieve in the years ahead.

Best of luck during your second year at Texas Tech!❤️🐄🐖🐴🐐🐓🐕🐈🦌🐏🐎🐰🫏🦘
