If your pet’s ears are painful, smelly, or constantly infected, you’re not stuck managing it forever. TECA-BO surgery removes the diseased ear canal and cleans the middle ear so your pet can be comfortable again. Most pets eat, sleep, and play better once they heal.

Today, we’re excited to spotlight someone who has not only helped shape our hospital with her expertise and compassion but is also stepping into a new leadership role: Joelle Riley, CVT, our newly promoted Hospital Services Manager.

If you’ve worked with our Surgery Service at Boston West Veterinary Emergency & Specialty, you’ve likely crossed paths with Dr. Sean Aiken, a highly skilled and deeply dedicated veterinary surgeon who’s been part of our team for years.

A torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) similar to a torn ACL in people is one of the most common orthopedic injuries we see in dogs. When it happens, it can severely limit your pet’s ability to walk, run, or even stand comfortably.

When your pet needs surgery, choosing the right team can make all the difference. Beyond skill alone, you want a team that combines expertise, advanced technology, compassion, and a commitment to the best possible outcome for your beloved companion.
