Merry Christmas! Dr Oliver will be out of town for a few days visiting family. We will have ER coverage and staff will be in the office part time the rest of the week. You will still call the main line like normal and choose the prompt for where to leave your message. If you have an emergency, the call will be taken by us and then passed on to the correct vet for further care. Depending on your emergency and your location, please be prepared to haul your horse to that veterinarian. These vets are doing Dr Oliver a great favor in helping with these calls while she is gone. Please be understanding of their time as they will be with their families this week also. We will be a bit slower returning routine calls, texts and emails until next week. Thanks!

We feel it is necessary to remind everyone that CEVS will only see emergency appointments for current clients. A current client is someone that has had a routine appointment within the past 12 months. Routine appointments mean we have seen your horses for vaccines and/or dentals.

We are very busy. This means the days are fully booked, often two weeks in advance. When we have an emergency during daytime hours, it almost always changes our day enough that we end up having to reschedule appointments or we arrive hours later. Most clients are good about this and realize that at some point, they will be the emergency that makes us late to everyone else. We try our best to be on time and we want to honor our client's time.

We are tired. There are just not enough hours in the day. While we love seeing you and your horse(s), we love our families and our horses too and we need time off. This is a boundary set to protect the well being of our staff. If you have any questions, please let us know.

We are excited to announce that we will be offering shockwave therapy to our patients.

Shockwave is a treatment that does not require surgery or other invasive procedures. With the machine we have acquired, sedation is usually not required. The machine is quite quiet!

Shockwave therapy has several benefits for horses. These include anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, increased blood flow and the growth of new blood vessels and increased production of naturally occurring growth factors, which are essential to healing. We hope to have a quicker return to exercise post injury and improvement in performance. We can use this modality on joints with arthritis, tendon/ligament injuries, splints, non-healing wounds, sore necks, back/SI, etc.

If shockwave is something you would like to learn more about or if you have a horse you think would benefit from shockwave therapy, please give the office a call.

The holiday season is here! We will be closing at noon on Tuesday, December 24th and will remain closed until Monday, December 30th. Additionally, we will be closed on Wednesday, January 1st and will return on Thursday, January 2nd.

As always, if you are a current client and have an emergency, please give the office a call and leave a message in the EMERGENCY MAILBOX. Your call will be returned. All non-client calls, messages in the daily mailbox or text messages will be answered when we return. Please make sure you have your medication orders in now so that you will have what you need over the time we are out of the office. If you have any questions, please reach out to the office.

We appreciate each and every one of our wonderful clients and patients and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday season.

Cooper and Ryder will be at dog walk this Saturday at the Shippensburg Fairgrounds. It looks like it will be a beautiful day. There are going to be a ton of great vendors (including food and other yummies), games to play and dogs to pet. You don't need to bring your dog, or even own one, to come out and support the shelter. Cooper is more than willing to let you take him for a walkabout if you want! Please check out the page to see what all there is on hand for this weekend.

We also want to support Robin! She spends all year, and a lot of hours, preparing for this event. She may be a bit frazzled on Saturday, but I'm sure she would appreciate your thanks for a job well done. Just coming and supporting the shelter would mean a lot to her, and by extension, us.

We will see you there!

Dog Walk is ALMOST HERE!! I wanted to take another chance to shout out all our awesome vendors for this weekend and remind you all to bring a little extra cash cause there is going to be some AMAZING local people and we want to show them all some love and support!

PA has had 5 recent WNV positives in Lancaster County and multiple positives in Juniata and Chester County. This disease exists in the Cumberland Valley! We are also seeing a rise in EEE with many positives in NY and other northeast states. EEE is a zoonotic disease, meaning people can get it also. So make sure you decrease areas mosquitoes like to inhabit, wear bug spray and VACCINATE your horses! Most horses will survive a WNV infection but they may have long term neuro deficits. Most horses will NOT survive EEE infection. Let us know if you have any questions.

Attached is a letter that we will also be emailing to everyone we have seen since 2021. It is an update concerning our policies. Most of you already know these however there have been some changes with our building being finished. We are asking that everyone sign the second page and return it to us. You can either pull it from here, the email we should be sending shortly or the website (once published there). We will also keep extras on the trucks or in the office. If there are any questions, please call the office. With our growth, and the addition of staff, we need to streamline and clarify some things. Thanks!
