**Pet of the Week!**

We are excited to welcome Ellie to the Sixes Animal Hospital family! She recently came in for her initial exam and booster shot, and she did wonderfully. At just 15 weeks old, she is already showing incredible patience while sitting. We look forward to watching her grow and can’t wait to see what new tricks she will learn!🐶

We all want to offer our fur babies something a little tastier but not all the food we eat are the safest for them. Some fruits and vegetables can be extremely dangerous for them to consume. Take our patient Freddy here, he came to us last week because chocolate-covered raisin was the snack of choice for the day. This was something he got into; NOT want was given to him. His wonderful parents acted extremely quickly to get him to us because they knew both chocolate and raisins are toxic to dogs. Although it tasted good going down for him it would have been a potential risk of kidney failure, seizures, and irregular heartrate if he did not receive immediate treatment. He was such a wonderful patient, and we are happy to report he is doing extremely well. So here are some Do’s and Don’ts of want you can share and keep away from your fur babies.

🐱 Pet of the week 🐱

Our pet of the week is this adorable little one named Archie! Archie was brought into us by a good samaritan who saw him get tossed out of a truck into incoming traffic. Thankfully upon exam he was physically unscathed by the traumatic event, and we were able to find him a loving home with the Smiths! Archie is such a lucky boy to have been found by this wonderful samaritan, and is even luckier to have been take in by such a loving family as the Smiths! It will definitely be a nice, warm, and happy Christmas for this little boy!

Our sweet pet of the week is this cutie pie! This is Pineapple. She came to us the day after her family found her abandoned outside. Pineapple's wound behind her ear was actually a bot fly larvae.
