This stray kitten named Spots came in to see us recently! Spots' new family wanted to make sure she was healthy before bringing her into their home and introducing her to their existing pets. We gave Spots a thorough exam and ran a FelV/FIV test, which came back negative! Hopefully Spots is settling in well in her new home!
4 month old kitten Daisy came in for limping recently! She was sedated for radiographs, and we provided emergency snuggles as needed. We discharged her with pain meds and strict activity restrictions!
One of our assistants brought her dog, Sox, in recently with some bite wounds. Luckily everything was pretty superficial so we cleaned him up and put him in a UAC t-shirt!
National Check the Chip Day is here! 🐾🔍
Today is the perfect reminder to ensure your pet’s microchip information is up-to-date. A microchip can make all the difference in reuniting with your furry friend if they ever get lost. It's important to check in with your veterinarian to make sure your microchip information is correct, and ensure that your contact information is up to date!
Chloe came in to see us recently for vomiting, decreased appetite, and lethargy. She did some bloodwork and radiographs, and then gave her some subcutaneous fluids to keep her hydrated, as well as some cuddle time. She's feeling much better after her visit with us!
As we head into the hottest months of the year, we want to remind everyone about the dangers of leaving pets in the car. Even with the windows cracked, temperatures can rise rapidly, putting your furry friends at serious risk of heatstroke and dehydration. ☀️🐾
We got to see this Sphynx kitten recently when he came in with a scratch on his neck! We cleaned the area, gave him lots of snuggles, and sent him home. How often do you get to see naked cats!?
Happy 4th of July from our team to you!
As we gather to celebrate Independence Day with family and friends, let's not forget our furry companions! Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and calm during the festivities:
🎇 Create a Safe Space: Make sure your pets have a quiet, comfortable place to retreat away from the noise.
🐶 Keep Them Indoors: Fireworks can be frightening for pets. Keep them indoors and secure windows and doors.
🐱 Update ID Tags: Ensure your pets' ID tags and microchip information are up to date, just in case they get scared and run off.
🐾 Avoid Fireworks: Never use fireworks around pets. They can cause severe burns and trauma.
🎆 Watch the BBQ: Be mindful of what your pets eat. Certain foods can be harmful to them.
Wishing everyone a safe and joyful 4th of July!

This older kitty came in to see us recently with a decreased appetite and some labored breathing - poor guy! We were able to use an ultrasound and found that he had fluid in his chest. We performed a thoracocentesis, and drain 10 oz of fluid from his chest! This procedure will keep him comfortable until he is able to follow up with either his primary care or a specialist!
We recently had a Good Samaritan bring in a tiny kitten that was rescued from the undercarriage of her car! A local car dealership dismantled her engine in order to extricate him, and then he was brought in for an exam to make sure he wasn't injured during his adventures. Despite his exciting journey inside of a car engine, he was completely unharmed! We determined that he's about 6-8 weeks old, and is a very brave boy!
