Meet Neo! Neo is this handsome pup who mysteriously cut his paw running around his yard 😲 Bleeding that cannot be controlled is an emergency and Neo had been soaking through his home bandages so his family brought him to us for further intervention. Cuts on paws from unknowns objects in the yard is a fairly common problem that we see - we may never know for sure what these kids are getting injured on but we can help to stop the bleeding. Our staff was able to suture a laceration on his paw pad and with some restricted activity Neo should heal up in no time.
Be mindful of what is in your yard as things like gardening tools, power tools, and trash items could cause painful and costly injuries for curious kids like Neo.

This is Freddy the FLEA! He is here to remind you that flea and tick prevention is important year-round, even in the winter! With the fall and winter months ahead of us these parasites will be searching for a host anywhere they can find. They will hitch a ride on a mouses back and end up on your cat faster than you can say "time for your flea bath!"

This is Chunk (HEY YOU GUYS!) - a few weeks ago he escaped his yard in the middle of the night and had a collision with a vehicle. Thankfully for him it was only leg threatening, not life threatening. When his parents brought him to us, he was unable to stand or walk and was in obvious pain. Our DVM started with pain medication and ordered radiographs to be completed. The radiographs revealed a complicated fracture. Fractures where the bones break into several pieces and are involving the joint are difficult and can be impossible to repair. For this reason our DVM recommended a leg amputation- a very sad and difficult decision for any pet owner. We placed a splint and sent home additional pain medications to prevent further trauma to the leg and to make him as comfortable as we could while he waited for his surgery.
We spoke with Chunk's owner who reported that he recovered well from his amputation and while he is figuring out his new routines he is doing well and is still here with us. We are so happy to hear this Chunk! Here's to a long, happy, 3-legged life

Eyes are the window to the soul. Eyes are also considered emergencies until otherwise proven!
Squinting
Redness
Discharge
Irritation - pawing at or rubbing face
These are all symptoms that could indicate a serious ocular issue. While we may not be able to fix ALL ocular injuries and diseases as they often need to be referred to a specialist, we can offer comfort and prevent further trauma. Eye diagnostics are generally quick and painless for the pet and treatment can be started right away with eye drops usually.
One of the most important things to remember when experience symptoms like these is to prevent further trauma! Our pets will rub their face if their eyes are itchy or painful which will cause abrasions and ulcers to the surface of the eye Once there is an ulcer the eye/s can become much more difficult to treat.

Black cats are just as sweet and special as the next cat (take it from someone who knows!) but due to the unfair superstitions and stereotypes of black cats they often experience longer shelter stays and lower adoption rates. Take this as your sign TODAY to go check out cats at your local shelter and welcome a furry feline friend into your home.

Jasynda is here to tell you to NOT throw away this piece of plastic that the vet gives you. Commonly known as the cone of shame- an E-collar is a very important veterinary medicine tool. Your vet may have sent this home with you to use for your pet after a surgical procedure, or maybe even for a nasty ear infection. This tool prevents your pets from scratching at themselves, which in turn prevents further trauma to the area of concern and allows time for healing.

Our team is here for all your emergency needs! We recommend having a veterinarian that you take your pet to for routine visits such as wellness exams, vaccines, preventative bloodwork, checks for intestinal parasites, and more depending on the breed of your pet. Your family vet will have a complete medical record for each pet and may be able to catch disease processes early with regular visits.
When in doubt- always call! We are happy to help triage a pet over the phone to determine if they should be evaluated right away!

🚨‼️Heat advisory! Heat stroke is a real thing that we see every year and while some pets are more at risk than others, every pet should be considered at risk to some degree. In extreme heat like what we are having now it is BEST to only go outside to use the bathroom for a few minutes at a time- some breeds can and will overheat that quickly! Here are some other ways to keep your pet cool…
🏡 Always know where your pet is. Dogs and cats can sneak outside for fun not knowing the dangers of the heat. If your pet is missing, check outside first.
💦Be sure your pet has clean, fresh water inside and outside at all times
🌳Ensure there is a shaded area in the environment so your pet can avoid the heat of the sun
🐕Exercise before the heat of the day- early mornings and late nights are best.
🚗NEVER leave a dog in a parked vehicle, even with the windows "cracked"
Dogs and cats do not thermoregulate the same as we do - they rely heavily on panting to cool themselves and sometimes panting is just not enough. It is important to know the signs of heat stroke so you can take action quick!
