Cooper's Stick
Copper's mom called yesterday because he just wasn't "right". There was nothing about his behavior that was screaming emergency but he was suddenly not acting like himself and she was concerned. Thanks to her quick action and an evaluation by licensed veterinary technician Abby, and Dr. Charles Ellithorpe, the answer became very clear.
Copper, a stick lover, had one lodged just under his tongue. While not common, this is something we see from time to time in dogs who play with sticks. We were however surprised by the length, which was just under 6 inches.
This sweet boy went home just a few hours later and is expected to make a full recovery. โค
Congratulations to Judy Tuck & Clover Hill Kennels on a beautiful litter of nine Bassett hound pups!!!! Attending surgeon, Dr. Charles Ellithorpe and the BBVA technicians did fabulous work, keeping "mom" and pups safe and sound. Enjoy!
The BBVA staff extends wishes to you for a Happy Thanksgiving, with friends, family, and beloved pets!
In the spirit of Pet Dental Health Awareness Month, we feature "Miss Zoey." At nearly 15 years old, her owner had concerns about her dog's dental disease as well as risk of general anesthesia. Dr. Sarah Magenis carefully assessed Zoey's condition and guided her owner through treatment options. The result? Happy mouth, happy pup, and happy owner. Go, ZOEY!
Being a mom isn't easy. There is a lot of worry, stress and pressure. But, being a pet mom also comes with many rewards; wet, cold noses, slobbery kisses, and purring alarm clocks.
In celebration of Mother's Day, we'd love to see pictures of you and your pets! Happy Mother's Day!
Venus the Dock Dog
Check out Venus, doing her dock dog thing.... Way to go Venus! (Thanks for letting us share it John)
Without the skill, dedication and compassion of our entire BBVA team we would not be able to provide your pet with the care they deserve. A big thank you to all of our employees who arrive early, stay late, eat lunch at 3pm, are on your feet all day, spend your day covered in hair (or worse), and come back again the next day because you love what you do. Thank you!
