Otherwise the office hours will remain the same as they have always been. Grooming will remain available on Mondays and Fridays.

MTWF - 7:30am to 5:30pm; closed for lunch from 12-1pm except Tuesdays is 12-1:30pm

Dr. Herrmann performing cataract surgery on our tiny patient Zoe.

Cataract surgery is typically performed when vision is significantly impaired (i.e. blindness occurs). The two most common forms of cataracts in dogs are:

1. breed-related, suspected to be caused by inherited genetic defects, and

2. changes in lens metabolism caused by diabetes mellitus.

Surgery can be performed in one or both eyes. There is an ideal "stage" of cataracts that improves the chance of a favorable outcome–the cataract is dense enough to cause vision problems, but is not too advanced to have caused intraocular structural damage. Should the cataracts be very advanced, the lens starts to shrink and scar, or the lens may even break open. This can result in additional risk of surgical complications due to increasing inflammation in the eye, and also reduces the chance of being able to place a prosthetic lens into the eye.

Successful cataract surgery can improve the quality of life for our patients by returning functional vision. It is so rewarding to see our patients being able to enjoy chasing their ball, catching their favorite treats, or seeing the squirrels across the street once again.

PHONES ARE BACK UP AND WORKING! Thank you to all the crews working long hours to get us all back up and running.

PHONE UPDATE: Good morning everyone we are still having troubles with the phones. For some reason, we can call out, but it’s not allowing incoming calls. We will keep y’all updated as we know more. We are in the office today and planning to be all week 

We are aware that the phones are being weird this morning. Some folks are getting a recording that the call cannot be completed at this time and others are able to get through. We are working on it and trying to figure out why they are not working properly. Feel free to email us or call the clinic cell at 979-270-3903.

We are back up and running this morning. We sincerely apologize for the power being out, and we were unable to be in the office yesterday. We were fortunate to only have power loss and some down trees as some people lost so much more. We will keep everyone in our thoughts and prayers.

I know we didn’t get everyone called but tried our best to have our Facebook and phone messages updated to keep everyone informed. We understand it may have been an inconvenience for some folks but we are working diligently to get things back on track as soon as possible. We are getting the medical cases moved and then will move onto the vaccine appointments.

Thank you for your patience. Have a wonderful weekend!

We hope everyone is safe from the storms. We are currently without power at the office. We understand everyone is working diligently through the night to make the necessary repairs. They are all in our thoughts and prayers and hope the night goes as smoothly as possible. We will get the clinic back up and running as soon as possible. Unfortunately if we do not have power in the morning, we will be closed. We will be contacting everyone to reschedule appointments asap if the need arises. Take care and stay safe.

The clinic will be closed this weekend as we are having flooring done. We apologize for any inconvenience but we will not be available for emergencies. We will reopen with normal hours on Monday morning.

We are also limited on farm call abilities at the moment as we are getting repairs done on the vet trucks. We will accommodate as much as possible but will be limited on after hour farm calls. We should be back up and running full force in a couple weeks. Thank you all for your patience and working with us during this time.

🐾🤎🐾We need your help…. Star Hill Veterinary Clinic reached out to us asking if we can help Bobo…. He has clearly been mistreated … we can only assume maybe used as a bait dog (his ears are ripped) and/or shooed away (multiple buck shots throughout his body). At 3 years old he’s also Heartworm positive ❤️ 🪱 ➕… despite all of this…. he is still a loving, happy, lots of tail wags and kisses kinda boy!! He’s good with other dogs too! He needs your help! We can only help if we can get a long term and committed foster (or even foster to adopt!)
