Down the rabbit hole I go every time I try to find a "specific" photo I'm looking for. 😅
When treating patients with STELFONTA®, we need a daily picture emailed.
It helps us evaluate what's going on with how the wound is forming & then healing and allows me to make any adjustments/recommendations in the pet's medications.
I feel sorry for the person who ever tries to steal my laptop.
Wouldn't you LOVE to see my collection of thousands of ooey, gooey, dying mast cell tumors? 😂
Also, did you know I love daily progress photos after I treat a mast cell tumor with STELFONTA®?
🎉 It's My Birthday!! 🎉
I share just about everything with you, so I had to share my birthday! And I mean, I just can't believe I'm 30 again! 😆
Here are three lessons I'm taking into this new chapter:
1️⃣ To be kinder to myself and to do more of what I love. Life IS TOO Short!
2️⃣ To only focus on what I can change and not on what I can't. As a medical professional, I'm constantly theorizing and analyzing, but in my personal life, I've been learning to strike a balance.
3️⃣ The only kind of love I really need is love for myself. (The ladies who know the struggle will know what I'm saying here.)
P.S. I chose these pictures because they're my absolute favorite. I feel like they really show where I'm at. I wanted to let you know that I'm in a really good place, not perfect, but I'm happy.
So thank you for being a part of our mighty little corner of Instagram and helping to Kick Cancers Butt! 💪🏻 ![]()

📧 New FREE Email Resource From STELFONTA® | Watch to learn!

Did you watch the whole video? 😊![]()
What are the commonalities between their essential medications and when you'll start receiving your emails?
Share this with a veterinary professional who would love to know this information! (You're the best! 🤗)
Watch to learn how I use VETSCAN IMAGYST™, the NEW in-house diagnostic point-of-care system by ZOETIS (Zoetis Petcare). 🧫 🔬
This new system allows me to do aspirates and get digital cytology results reviewed by a board-certified cytologist within two hours (typically 30 minutes) while pet parents are still here at the hospital.
This is a HUGE thing in our industry for veterinary professionals and pet parents alike because, with this, we can get them answers and start treatments faster.
Have you used it yet? What are your thoughts?
Watch to learn 3️⃣ tips & reminders for all veterinary professionals from a board-certified surgeon. 🥼
There are so many advances in the surgical field. Which procedures or diagnostics would you like to know more about??
Maybe we can get Dr. Runge back on the gram to answer your questions! 😆
I hear this all the time. 😢
I've seen thousands of patients with all kinds of cancers, and I need you to know their diagnosis is not your fault. And there's nothing you could have done differently that would have significantly prevented your pet's diagnosis.
One cancer in particular that owners really blame themselves for is hemangiosarcoma and for not finding it sooner.
Hemangiosarcoma is a very aggressive cancer that is one of my least favorite cancers and, when not caught early after there's metastasis, leaves little room for treatment or hope...
When it comes to cancer in dogs, you just have to look at the best practices available as their owner to try and catch them early. With that said, there are a few things you CAN do to help detect tumors or cancers early in your pet. (See Slides)
Following these steps can make all the difference. Mark your calendar to help you remember. 🗓
And when you take the steps toward early detection, you've done the best you can, and that's all you can do! All that's left is to continue loving your pet wholeheartedly and make the most out of every day with them.
