Welcome Dr. Renae Zook to the Carstairs Vet Clinic Family!

Renae was raised on a farm near Trochu, Alberta where her passion in Veterinary Medicine grew with her involvement in 4H, working at a local feedlot and volunteering at the local vet clinic. She graduated with her DVM from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016. Renae has worked in both mixed animal and small animal clinics in Saskatchewan and Airdrie prior to joining the team at Carstairs. Her interests include small animal surgery (particularly dentistry) and anything related to the eyes. Renae enjoys riding her Quarter Horse mare Spryte in the summer and can be found in the Rockies on the ski hills in the winter months with her family.

Out and about just stretching those legs. 🦵

#catchoftheday #datewithdolly Dolly was caught slacking while on the clock!

Otis was one of our recent TPLO surgeries with great success one the first leg, he needed his second leg done. His owner wrote us testimonial and Otis' story! In the spring of 2023, we noticed Otis had started walking with a slight limp and favouring his left hind leg. A trip to the vet informed us he had a partial tear in his knee joint but it had the potential of not getting worse and needing surgery with lots of care. Over the summer we had Otis in weekly hydrotherapy visits and we even invested in an orthopaedic brace for his knee. After our best efforts, there were little to no improvements to Otis’ limp until eventually one fall evening his limp got much worse. Another trip to the vet and some X-rays indicated the tear had gotten worse and surgery was the only option. Our vet referred us to Dr. Tom at Carstairs Vet Clinic and highly recommended him and his team. The staff at Carstairs Vet Clinic got us in for a consult and we had surgery booked shortly after. Dr. Tom and the staff were very informative and supportive and we knew exactly what to expect from the surgery as well as the post surgery care for Otis’ healing process. At Otis’ final post surgery checkup and X-ray, Dr. Tom was very happy with how things had healed and so were we. Dr. Tom was proactive and had taken an X-ray of Otis’ right hind leg at this visit as well as we had been informed both by Dr. Tom and our other vet that it was very likely Otis would need surgery on his other leg at some point in his life. Sure enough, the knee joint in his other leg looked as though it was beginning to tear but we all kept our fingers crossed he wouldn’t need a second surgery for a while. Unfortunately while Otis was enjoying his first run in the backyard post surgery, he slipped on some ice and came back into the house not putting any weight on his other hind leg, the one we did not do surgery on. Dr. Tom was great and got Otis back in the next morning to check it and we all decided it was best

Kilo and Penny, both just past day 60 after TPLO surgery.

A Femoral Head Osteotomy (FHO) is an orthopedic surgery that is completed to treat joint pain and decreased mobility of the hip joint caused by disease or damage to the hip joint. The leg is functional but has reduced ability to lift the pelvis up. This works quite well for smaller dogs and cats. Recovery is 2-5 months. This is Ellie, a 6 year old black lab who had the FHO surgery in April of 2021. She was 3 and a half at the time of surgery, original diagnosis was 1.5 years old and began showing lameness by age 2 that worsened over the year before surgery. 6 months post op she was back to hiking and playing fetch. For more information on the FHO surgery or other orthopedic surgery that we offer, please call us at (403) 337-3221 or [email protected]
