We saw a wonderful post about our staff and clinic from one of our clients. Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy that Mr. Peeps is doing well. Keep on peeping, little man!

“Terry Disher and I want to give a HUGE shout out to Kersting Veterinary Hospital in Chesterfield. After I had called multiple Veterinary hospitals on the Illinois side with none having an exotic animal vet available last night, this Clinic stepped up stayed open late and saw our bird of 16 years and made sure he was taken care of. I can't thank them enough I was in tears heading into work and Terry ran Mr Peeps over to Chesterfield where they stayed open just for him.
Mr Peeps had caught his leg in the cage somehow and was flailing about twisting it where I was sure it was broken. Thank goodness it was only dislocated and they were able to get him back into shape and keep him out of pain. I am happy to report Mr. Peeps is doing well tonight and sitting on his perch, eating, drinking and making his "peeps"sounds.
Very thankful bird mama tonight💙🦜
Thank you Kersting Veterinary Hospital!”

Summer is in full swing and so is the summer heat! We wanted to provide some helpful tips for all of our dog (and cat) owners on how to safely spend time with your pets outside when the temperature begins to climb. Below is some info on how hot is “too hot” as well as recognizing the signs of heat stroke.

Break out the sprinklers, baby pools, slip n slides, and the hose because it’s gonna be a sizzling summer!

Leptospirosis vaccines are an important addition to your dog’s regular veterinary care routine.

Leptospirosis in dogs is an infection caused by Leptospira, which are bacteria that target the kidneys and liver. The bacteria are typically transmitted by drinking contaminated with urine from rats, mice, deer, opossums, raccoons and skunks, dogs, cattle and wildlife. Some strains may actually enter the body through the dog’s skin if they swim in contaminated water. Commonly diagnosed in dogs, this disease can be fatal.

The vaccine is administered in puppies over 12 weeks and once a year in adult dogs. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the vaccine remains effective for 12 months.

Meatball the ball python suffered an injury during an accident. Dr. Pritchett bandaged him up and we administered pain meds and antibiotics. He will be coming in for bandage changes for some time, as reptiles heal very slowly, but we’re hoping for a successful outcome!

Yoko’s first day with her healed foot!
Yoko got frostbite during the very cold blast we had in St. Louis a few months ago.
She came in regularly for treatment and bandage changes since then.
This week Dr. Pritchett was able to remove the bandage for good, and Yoko literally clucked with happiness!

We had SEVEN French bulldogs boarding with us last week!
Frenchies are short and stocky, originally bred from miniature bulldogs in England.
A great breed for children and the elderly alike, Frenchies are playful and silly. Zoomies are abundant! However, they also enjoy lazing about as well.
We enjoyed having our sweet little visitors (from 2 families). 🥰

Today is World Veterinary Day, and STAR would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our veterinary partners.

Veterinary professionals put themselves at risk in order to take care of our feathered, furry and scaled family. They are truly superheroes.

Thank You!

Gucci the turkey was showing off for our staff yesterday during his visit for a dog bite.

Turkeys excel with communicating through behavior. This fluffed display is called “strutting”. Gucci has fluffed all his feathers up (piloerection) to show how big and impressive he is. He has also lengthened his “snood” on the front of his face, and his face is presenting beautiful colorations.

In addition to his stunning visual display, Gucci shared the classic turkey gobble with us, as well as his “drumming” ability, which he creates by vibrating his strong wings against his body.

Isn’t he impressive?? 🦃
