How adorable is little Miss Roxy?! 🩷

This baby Shar Pei came to see us for an eyelid correction procedure and we could not have been more in love with her smooshy face 🥰

Roxy had entropion, or the inward rolling of her eyelids. Due to her young age, we were able to do a temporary tacking procedure where Dr. Montgomery used sutures to keep the eyelids in a normal position and make her more comfortable. Our hope is that as she grows, she will grow into her lids and won't need permanent surgery (not that we would mind her spending some extra time for snuggles with us)!

JANUARY PET OF THE MONTH 🩷🐾

Ella is a 10 year old mixed breed dog that came to see Dr. Alario for cancer of the eye.
What does Ella love most about NEVO? Mom says she loves Dr. Alario & all of the wonderful vet techs! (the feeling is mutual)
A few other fun facts about Ella!
Her favorite toy is squeakers or her ball, but that much also squeak!
Her favorite place to be is sniffing around outside or snuggles up with the family.
Her favorite activity is going to the beach or for a swim! And as you can see from the photos, having only 1 eye does not stop her from doing what she loves!
Her favorite food or treat is steak or duck.
Mom says: "Ella's perfect day would consist of waking up, having eggs for breakfast, going for a walk, fetching her ball in the lake, taking an afternoon nap in the sun, steak for dinner, and a car ride for ice cream to end the day :)" - that sounds like a perfect day for us too Ella!
And not that we think Ella can do anything naughty, but Mom says that when she's not getting enough attention, she will walk around with one of her human brothers' stuffed animals in her mouth and likes to steal food off their plate when they aren't looking.
