Nutritional Management: Providing Nutrition for Critically Ill Patients

Nutritional support is a critical component of veterinary care for critically ill patients. Proper nutrition aids in recovery, maintains organ function, and prevents complications associated with malnutrition.

NCSU CVM Student Lunch & Learn,
March 31, 2025

On March 31, Dr. Shannon Bass, VP of Medical Leadership, and Lindsay Carrier, DVM Recruiter, hosted a lunch and learn at NC State College of Veterinary Medicine alongside student ambassadors Lauren Hirsch and Sydney MacDonald. The topic: “Career Crossroads: So Many Options – How Do I Choose?” It was a practical conversation about navigating early career decisions in veterinary medicine.

 

We always welcome the chance to spend time with the next generation of veterinary professionals, sharing what we’ve learned and hearing what matters most to them.

Haw River Animal Hospital Celebrates Its First Anniversary

On the first Saturday of Spring, Haw River Animal Hospital celebrated one year of serving the Pittsboro community with a fun anniversary event.

Guests were treated to snacks and beverages provided by local community partners while exploring behind-the-scenes tours of the hospital’s services. Led by Dr. Katie Sizer and the Haw River team, these tours highlighted the hospital’s commitment to fear-free veterinary care and dedication to the health and well-being of Pittsboro’s pets. Here’s to many more years of service, veterinary care, and community!
