Dr. Bulovas has been able to help many animals. Below we’ll periodically highlight some of our success stories.

Animal Hospital of The Woodlands feels strongly that it has a responsiblitiy to give back to the community. Many stray animals come to the hospital and are united with their owners. Some are transfered to the SPCA. The hospital channels its efforts and time through the Humane Society, Boston Terrier Rescue and Pekinese Rescue. Recently the humane society needed help withTinkerbell. Tinkerbell was only 2 years old but had severe knee arthritis from an old injury. The hospital performed radiographs and determined that the only way that Tinkerbell could have a pain free life was to amputate the leg. The hospital perfomed the radiographs and surgery at cost for the organization. Tinkerbell is recovering well and will hopefully find a loving owner.

It is very satisfying to see a patient grow old and continue to have a great quality of life. Behr Gibson has been a client of the hospital since the beginning. He is a diabetic, hypothyroid that has chonic pain in his hips. I was walking through boarding over the holiday and noticed Behr. He looked great. He is a labrador and almost 11 years old but looks no older than 8 years. He thinks that he is 4 years old and is always happy to see everyone. He takes insulin, thyroid supplement and pain meds. He is a great example that old patients can have great quality of life with proper care. Dr. Bulovas is board certifed in canine and feline specialty. Even though he is best known for surgery the majority of the hospital patient visits are for medical treatment.

Recently, a Black Labrador, named Hokulani, came to The Animal Hospital of The Woodlands. Her knee ligaments were completely shattered and her family was devastated at the idea of her never walking again. Dr. Bulovas and his team rebuilt her entire leg during a reconstructive, bone-plating surgery.
“Hokulani is a great success story,” he said. “Last week we did the surgery, and she is already starting to move around and walk. It is so rewarding to watch dogs who could not play with their owners be able to run again.”
