Hello CVC Family! We almost missed the opportunity to recognize our talented assistants during Veterinary Assistant Week. Veterinary assistants are vital to the medical team, performing tasks beyond the scope of veterinarians and technicians. They act as the eyes, ears, and hands of veterinarians, handling patient care, communication, and upkeep. We depend heavily on their skills. We are privileged to have Emily, Carianne, Vicky, Emma, Stefanie, Christien, and our cross-trained team members Cheryl and Sarah W.

Please if you see any of these lovely ladies this week give them all the love💜

While today is Dr. Higginbotham's last day at the clinic, he will always be part of the CVC family. We all got to spend 4 amazing years with him that we will cherish furrrrrever. We know his clients and his furry patients will miss him dearly. (and so will we 😢)

We want to wish him all the best with whatever big adventure Ontario has to bring.

But we know this isn't goodbye, this is simply, "see you later".💖

Remember Lil Buffboy Toast Fat Nugget? Well his friend at home was in today and her name is Lemon Big Chungus Scrunchie Hot Dog. It was only fair to do arts and crafts on her bag to go home too 🍋🌭💖

Outback is not a scary place especially when you got the bubbly Carianne to be your person.💜💜

Karen was in today to check her blood for lyme disease and other tick borne diseases. We left today with negative results which is a happy ending for all. Tick season is here and we highly recommend if your dog is the type to play/hike in high grass areas to have preventives on board and check all the common spots where ticks can attach after playing. If you find a tick and feel uncomfortable removing it or want to know the treatment steps after finding a tick attached, please call us and we will be happy to help!

RVT Hailey is getting in some post dental snuggles and kisses with Rocky. She updated his mom throughout the day with some photos to ease her mind.

His owner said he should be a therapy dog and Hailey responds "Honestly he is healing me atm so he should be. ❤️"

Sometimes our little humans at home get to name our fur babies. This kitten was blessed with the name "Little Buffboy Toast Fat Nugget". We found it fitting to draw his name on his discharge bag and I think he really approves.🏋️🍞❤️

⚠️OWNERS PLEASE READ.⚠️

Let's talk about our most common emergency we see which is blocked cats. The last week we have seen an INCREASE number of these cases and as this is a life threatening emergency, some of those cases were a fatal outcome. Have a read at this post to become more familiar with the signs before they are too late. If you believe your cat is blocked please call us at 902-892-4287!! This is something that should NOT be left unattended.

A basket of puppies is way better than a basket full of treats❤️❤️

Henry, Dilly, Lucy and Fred all hope you had the best weekend! They also want to tell all your furry friends that going to the clinic isn't so bad because they have TREATS and so many people to love us there.❤️

Hey CVC family!

As the weather keeps getting beautiful and today is one of those days, I have a small request to ask you all!

I would love for you to share your favorite sunny photos of your fur babies and I'll make another collage for the cover photo so everyone can have that extra NEEDED sunshine in their lives too😻🐶🌻🌞

Sometimes our patients wake up confused after surgery but don't worry RVT Emily will be right there to comfort your sweet babes in those moments. We caught Chester feeling that comfort from Emily.🧡

On our surgery check in sheets we ask owners if there is any additional information they can give us. Sushi's owner told us about her love of vampire related stories. RVT Hailey and her decided to get a few minutes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer in during post op.🍣🧛‍♀️🩸❤️
