Cottonwood Animal Clinic

Cottonwood Animal Clinic Welcome to Cottonwood Animal Clinic where we look forward to helping you with your animals’ health But sometimes you have questions, and that’s where we fit in.

We understand that you care very much for your animals, and we want you to know that we look forward to partnering with you in this endeavor. You know that you and the people around you tend to function better when you eat well, take some time to exercise and reduce your risk of dangerous conditions, for instance you put on sunscreen when you are going to be exposed to the sun. You realize what yo

u need to do to take care of yourself, and you also want to do what you can to take care of your animals, too. When you have questions about a vaccination schedule for your pet or for your herd, we are here for you. When you have questions about the nutritional needs of any of your animals in their various stages of life, we are here for you. Even when you do the best you can, things happen. We want to partner with you in navigating those hard times with your animals in providing various treatment options and then supporting you the best we can through it all. Over the past four decades a few things at the clinic have changed. It has grown, a smaller percentage of the staff is actually family, and technology has greatly improved. The one thing that has not changed is that we still look forward to seeing you and your animals visiting us at the clinic.

A couple of days ago, we welcomed ten 🩷🩷🩷🩵🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩵 little puppies via an unplanned C-section. Here is a video of them at about 30-60 minutes old. Momma is doing well now and all 10 puppies are gaining weight already.

Turn up the volume, we happen to think it is one of the BEST sounds we get to hear from time to time at the clinic. What breed do you think they are?

Puppy weight REVEAL!

The total weight for all 8 puppies was 68.13 pounds. The 4 🩵🩵🩵🩵males average weight was 9.1 pounds per male puppy. The 4 🩷🩷🩷🩷females average weight was 7.9 pounds per female puppy. Both the males and females doubled or more than doubled their weight in 2 weeks when we weighed them on December 26th and then again on January 9th. For the next few weeks, we anticipate they will continue growing very rapidly. It would not be unusual to see them gaining 2-3 pounds per week which means they will likely double their weight again by the time they would be ready for the next round of vaccines in 3 weeks.

There are some in the litter who are still looking for their forever family.

Earlier this week, Elsie’s puppies came in for their 1st puppy vaccinations, deworming and wellness checks.

All 8 of these Rottweiler puppies are growing by leaps and bounds. Their owner has brought them to visit at 2weeks and 4weeks to be weighed and dewormed. They used to all fit in 1 box, but not this week!! 😂

👇🏻👇🏻Tell us how many pounds you think all 8 puppies weighed in total pounds. We will come back and update the total pounds on Monday! 👍🏻

These are very special puppies, born on Thanksgiving Day, and some of them are still looking for a special home to live forever. They have even spent time getting used to kids being around and playing with them. There are 4 males and 4 females.

Millie says MERRY CHRISTMAS to you! Isn't she sweet?

She came in for her microchip, and now she has extra assurance that if she gets lost from her family that she can be reunited.

If your pet already has a microchip, please ask us to scan for it at least once per year to make sure it is still working! 😊

Cottonwood Animal Clinic had the distinct pleasure of hosting 4th year Iowa State vet student, Macy Flowers for the past 2 weeks in fulfilling one of her externship requirements. We asked Macy what stood out to her as a highlight in the past two weeks, and she had a hard time narrowing it down. She said overall, she loved seeing a very wide variety of cases, all sorts of things from working on a bucking horse to helping with a leg amputation on a dog to a unique kidney case and many, many more. She was happy to get a good amount of hands-on experiences, especially in surgery. And she was impressed with the true mentorship that Dr. Carson and Dr. KaCee provided the whole way. She said, "In school, they pretty much just tell you what to do. Here, they actually let me practice 'doctor thinking' by asking questions...and not in a condescending way, but in a nice way."

Macy also mentioned that she enjoyed staying in our private studio apartment, and that it was helpful to have good accommodations available for vet students who are coming from a distance and don't really have a place to stay.

Fun fact: Before she began vet school at Iowa State University, Macy played on the K-State Volleyball team for 4 years where she earned her undergraduate.

Update: This good boy has been reunited with his people. 😊

This big happy boy made his way to Cottonwood Animal Clinic this morning, and he is hoping his owner will spot him to come get him.

He's an in-tact, middle aged, Pyrenees mix male. We did not find a microchip when we scanned him. He doesn't have a collar, but he looks to be well taken care of, and he is a super friendly guy.

Help us find his owner, and hopefully we can reunite them soon. If you know his owner, please call the clinic at 620-442-8619.

Cottonwood Animal Clinic will have Hill's pet food delivered this week, but not next week because of the Thanksgiving delivery schedule. If you need to refill your pet food, call or text 620-442-8619 by Wed, Nov 20th.

Lots of really good guesses!

ANSWER to our earlier post: these 3 weigh 9lbs 9oz (9.56 pounds) which means each of them has an average weight of 3 pounds and 3 ounces.

We just had to slow down a moment to share these adorable Yorkipoo puppies with you! These little sweeties are 10 weeks old, they are happy and healthy, and they visited today for their 2nd round of vaccines! They will be even happier when they find their forever homes!

Until then, can you guess how much 3 Yorkipoo puppies weigh all together? They are 10 weeks and 2 days old!

When we walk through the dog kennel AKA The Barking Lot here at Cottonwood Animal Clinic, some of our patients remind us it is HOWL-O-WEEN today.

Our staff would LOVE to see pictures 👇👇👇 of your pets in their costumes...if that is something that your pet doesn't mind you doing! We understand that causes some pets unnecessary anxiety, and we get that. Post pics of your pets that don't mind it! We want to see!! 👏👏👏
