Meet Axle, the 4-month-old adventure pup who thought rattlesnakes were just… spicy noodles 🌶️🐍 (puppy logic, right?).

Thanks to his quick-thinking and incredibly dedicated owners rushing him straight to us, Axle got the powerful antivenom he needed to fight back—and he’s doing great! 💪🐾

Because he’s still such a baby, Axle was too young to receive the rattlesnake vaccine yet. But don’t worry—his humans are already planning ahead to protect him once he’s old enough.

For now, this brave little noodle-slayer is soaking up the cuddles and living his best puppy life.

🍂 With these crisp mornings, we know it’s almost Spooky Season! What better way to celebrate than a black kitty? 🐈‍⬛🎃

Jinx gave us the sweetest, purr-filled cuddles yesterday at his preventive care appointment. 💕 Big shoutout to his wonderful owner for adopting him and keeping up with his care—black cats bring so much love and luck year-round! ❤️

Rabies Vaccination Required by Colorado Law

Hello Fremont County pet families! Just a friendly reminder that in Colorado, all dogs and cats aged 4 months or older are required by law to be vaccinated against rabies. This helps protect your pet, your family, and our community from this serious disease. 🛡️

What the law says:

“The board of health of an organized health department or a county board of health...order that all dogs, cats, other pet animals, or other mammals in the county or district be vaccinated against rabies …” and that vaccines be administered by a licensed veterinarian.
— Colorado Revised Statutes § 25-4-607

What this means for you and your pets:

If your dog or cat is 4 months old or older, they must have a rabies vaccine.

If you’ve recently adopted a pet, moved into a new county, or are not sure about their vaccine status — please check!

Why it matters:

Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. Vaccination is safe, effective, and the best way to prevent this disease in your pet and people. Plus, staying compliant with state law avoids penalties and ensures public safety.

If you’re due for your pet’s rabies booster or need to schedule a vaccine, call us or send us a message. We’re here to help!

Stay safe & healthy,
– Fremont Veterinary Hospital 🐶🐱

🐾 Pancreatitis in Pets 🐾

Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas—a small but mighty organ that helps with digestion and regulates blood sugar. While it might sound straightforward, the condition is actually quite complex in both dogs and cats.

👉 The tricky part is that pancreatitis doesn’t just affect the pancreas. It often involves other organ systems, either because they trigger the problem (primary) or are affected secondarily once the pancreas is inflamed. This is why pets with pancreatitis can sometimes become very sick, very quickly.

Common signs may include:
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy or weakness
• Abdominal pain
• Diarrhea (sometimes)

Because symptoms can vary and overlap with many other conditions, a diagnosis requires veterinary evaluation and testing.

💡 The good news: With prompt veterinary care, many pets can recover well. Management often includes supportive care (like fluids, pain control, and diet changes) and close monitoring to prevent complications.

If your pet shows any of these signs, or just seems “off,” don’t wait—contact us right away. Early care makes a big difference! ❤️🐶

🇺🇸 In Remembrance – September 11, 2001 🇺🇸

Today we remember the lives lost and the heroes who rose on September 11, 2001. Among those heroes were animals—nearly 300 search-and-rescue dogs and their handlers worked tirelessly at Ground Zero. These loyal partners searched for survivors, brought comfort to first responders, and reminded us of hope in the darkest hours.

We honor the people, the animals, and the unshakable spirit of unity that carried our nation forward.
We will never forget. ❤️🤍💙

🦷🐾 Puppy & Kitten Smiles Matter! 🐾🦷

Did you know puppies and kittens have two sets of teeth, just like people? As their baby teeth fall out and adult teeth come in, it’s important to make sure their bite develops normally.

A pet’s teeth don’t have to look perfect—but they do need to be functional and pain-free. Crooked teeth, retained baby teeth, or a painful bite can make eating uncomfortable and even cause long-term health issues.

✔️ Regular dental checks during wellness visits
✔️ Early treatment if problems are found
✔️ A lifetime of healthier, happier smiles

If you notice your puppy or kitten struggling to chew, dropping food, or showing discomfort when eating, give us a call. No pet should have to live with a painful bite! ❤️

🐾 Bringing Home a New Pet? Read This First! 🐾

Introducing a new furry friend to your household is exciting—but it’s important to keep everyone safe and healthy. 💙

Before your new pet shares the same space with your current pets, schedule a veterinary check-up. This visit helps screen for:
✔️ Parasites (fleas, ticks, intestinal worms)
✔️ Contagious diseases
✔️ Life-threatening viruses like Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and FIV

Taking this simple step protects both your new pet AND the ones already part of your family. 🐶🐱

🏥 Give us a call to schedule your new pet’s first check-up today—we’ll help make their transition safe, happy, and healthy!

🚨 Bladder Stones & Diet Alert 🚨

A new study has identified a rare bladder stone in dogs—calcium tartrate tetrahydrate (CTT)—linked to choline bitartrate, an ingredient found in some Fresh Pet, Just for Dogs, and homemade diets.

🔎 Key takeaway: 76% of affected dogs had eaten diets with tartaric acid salts, almost always from choline bitartrate.

👉 What this means:
Even “fresh” or homemade diets can carry risks if ingredients aren’t carefully monitored. If your dog is on these diets and develops urinary signs, talk with your vet and bring a full diet/supplement history.

💧 Hydration + regular vet checks remain key to prevention.
