Hello!!!!!!!!!

As many of you know, I started this business to be able to offer after hours/weekend veterinary care at a more affordable rate.

Unfortunately, as times get harder, we are able to do less and less for patients that really need it.

We have had some amazing clients donate to our little known charity fund so that we can help patients in need.

I have never been more passionate about getting this charity fund up and running. Every day we are faced with pets that need help, and clients that are just in a tough spot. They love their animals more than anything, but they are just not in a good place in life.

An amazing, caring client had these shirts, leashes, and magnets made for us to be able to sell to clients to begin to store some extra funds away to be able to help more patients in need.

We are selling the shirts for $25, leashes for $15, and magnets for $5.

All proceeds will go to the charity fund, that will then be used to care for patients that really need it. The charity fund will be used at doctors discretion.

If you would like to support our cause, just stop by the clinic!! 1730 Memorial Dr.

Thank you for your continued support as we navigate through some hard times.

I am resharing my post about Parvo, because we are in a surge right now. We are diagnosing a parvo puppy almost on a daily basis right now.

Please, please, please vaccinate your puppies. Don’t take them anywhere until they are fully vaccinated. We have diagnosed more unvaccinated adult dogs this past month, than I have my entire career. Just because they aren’t a puppy anymore, doesn’t mean they won’t get Parvo. Adult dogs get it worse than puppies.

Go to the low cost vaccine clinics, leave the Clarksville area where things are cheaper, I don’t care where you go, just GO!! The vaccine can and will save their life!

Just a reminder… the cost of treating a large breed adult Parvo dog is between $4000-6000 and they may not make it, the cost of 2 sets of vaccines… $60!

My post on Pyometra was well received, so I figured we should talk about another disease that is 100% preventable…. Parvo.

Before I go into a description of Parvo, I thought I would go over a real case. This is Papaya. Papaya was a stray puppy that we treated for 10 days. Her case was one of the worst Parvo cases I have ever treated. In total she received IV fluids, required a feeding tube, canine fresh frozen plasma, vetstarch, radiographs daily, bloodwork daily, ultrasounds daily, potassium supplementation, sugar supplementation, vitamin B supplementation, every gastrointestinal medication I could put her on, as well as multiple antibiotics. In the end her gastrointestinal tract was so ravaged by the disease she was not able to be saved in spite of the best medical care she could receive. Because she was a stray, the hospital paid for all her medical care which ended up requiring a trip to Franklin to be seen by specialists. In total her care was over $10k.

Why do I tell you this… because 3 Parvo vaccines only cost $114.

Now let’s talk about Parvo.

Parvo is a virus that infects the crypt cells of the gastrointestinal tract. It causes severe vomiting, bloody diarrhea, inappetance, and profound dehydration.

Parvo patients are best treated in a hospital and the treatment can range from 3-5 days of round the clock care. They need a feeding tube, IV fluids and medications. We are fortunate that we now have an antibody injection that we can give them to help them heal faster, but it costs $440/vial and the larger the dog, the more vials you need.

Patients can also be treated with the Colorado outpatient protocol, but the survival rate is not nearly as high as with in patient care.

How do we keep new puppies safe??? The answer is easy… get them vaccinated!! Do not take your new puppy anywhere! No dog parks, petsmart, play grounds, anywhere!!! Parvovirus lives in the ground for 7-10 years after an infected puppy has been there.
You may have seen or been asked by a veterinary hospital to stay outside while your sick puppy is being tested, this is why. Parvovirus is extremely contagious , and very hard to kill. While a vet hospital is seeing your sick puppy, they are also likely seeing healthy puppies, and dont want to spread this terrible disease uknowingly.

When is a puppy considered fully vaccinated? After 3, sometimes even 4 rounds of the parvo/distemper combo vaccine. Typically this is given around 4 months of age, but they are still not fully protected until 2 weeks after the last round.

I won’t bore you with the immunology that goes behind the vaccine schedule.

The most common Parvo puppy history I get is a puppy that was purchased, and told they are “up to date” by the breeder or pet store. What they mean by this is the puppy has received the required vaccine for their age, not that they are done.

It is crucial that when you get a new puppy they have an exam within the first week so your vet can establish the best vaccine protocol for your unique situation.

I have been told that vaccines are a “money grab” and poison. I hope that people can see that if we wanted to make money from this disease we would not push vaccines the way we do. It is more important to us to keep your puppy healthy, than to make money off of treating this terrible disease that is preventable.

Unfortunately Papaya, and so many other sweet puppies dont get the chance to grow up and live their full lives. Please vaccinate your puppies!

There is currently some very nasty things being said about us on Facebook over a patient that needed surgery, but the owner was unable to afford it.

I will not go into great detail about this case to protect the privacy of the owner, but unfortunately the patient died overnight. This saddens us greatly to hear this.

Of course, we will be the bad guys because we do not accept payments plans for large unexpected expenses. We do offer 3 different financing options, which can be used right away, just for situations like this. We will be the bad guys because we were the last vet to see this patient when 2 other clinics also saw this patient. I will not name them, but one charges almost double what we do for the same surgery.

What people don’t know is that we spent time calling every clinic that was open on a holiday weekend within a 3hr radius to see if anywhere was cheaper than we were, just to find out that our surgery cost is the cheapest. We also did not charge this owner anything for our time just to save them some money to use towards surgery, because every dollar counts.

I advised the owner to crowd source to get help from the community, because we have had great success in the past with this method, and not a single donation was made, but now people come back and say how terrible we are for not allowing payment plans.

When I opened the practice, I tried to be different, and take payment plans, only to find myself struggling to pay the bills because no one ever adhered to the payment plan. They would cancel their cards, even change their phone numbers.

Of course, we had to stop accepting them, and be like everyone else.

Has the cost of veterinary medicine continued to climb over the recent years… yes!! It is up 60% in some cases. I absolutely hate this. No one hates this more than the people working in this field. When our distributors, suppliers, and reference labs increase their prices, we have to also.

Everyone thinks that veterinarians are rolling in money… so let me break down some of the expenses for you:

Payroll weekly: $20,000
Supplies weekly: $10,000
Lab Costs Weekly: $6,000
Imaging Costs Monthly: $2500
Other equipment Monthly: $4,000
Building costs Monthly: $8,000
Insurance/Licensing Monthly: $2,000

What is not included in this list: IT/marketing, employee bonuses/retention, uniforms, building maintenance/repairs, continuing education, and any other unexpected expense that presents itself over the month. Trust me when I say no vet is sitting on a pile of cash.

If there is one thing that i hope people can gain from this post it is that emergencies happen. Your pet, just like a human can have unexpected things happen to them where they will need care. It is every pet owners responsibility to financially care for their own pet, not the vet hospitals. I wish for nothing more than to have an unending supply of money to be able to pay for all of my expenses, and also fully care for every patient that is presented to me. If you think that the people that work in this field don’t hate the “money factor” more than anyone, you would be wrong. Any time a patients care can not be gold standard because of money, we break a little more on the inside. We lose sleep every night thinking of all the patients we saw that day.

We do our best everyday with what the owners can do, but we can not take on the expenses for every patient. If we did, there would be no clinic to come to, there would be no life saving medications on the shelf, there would be no x-ray machine to diagnose anything, there would be no blood machines that can get us rapid results when we need them, there would be no IV fluids to stabilize the dehydrated, hypotensive patient, there would be no where to go when your pet had an emergency. What would happen then? How many lives would be lost? Emergency hospitals are shutting down all over this country because they can not be staffed due to high burn out rates among veterinary staff.

My advice… have a plan financially, have pet insurance, watch your pet like a hawk so they don’t eat things they aren’t supposed to, keep them on a leash, or in a secure backyard to they don’t get hit by a car, know the common toxins and keep your pet away from them, watch them like their life depends on it, because sometimes it does.

This past week we celebrated our 2 year anniversary of the Urgent Care facility opening.

Since the day the urgent care facility opened we have seen 10,042 patients.

I wanted to give everyone some exciting updates!!!

I have purchased a new building which is larger and we will be able to accommodate more patients, and be able to offer more services!

We have also been very fortunate to hire new doctors and will be able to expand our hours!

Starting in September we will be open from 8am - 12am on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we will remain open from 11am - 11pm.

This expansion of hours will allow us to better care for the patients that need it the most.

I could not be more proud of all the people that choose to work with me to build up my dream and take care of all the patients we are fortunate enough to be able to see. I could not be more thankful to our clients for trusting us to take care of their little angels when they are sick.

My dream from early on in my career was to open my own hospital, and that dream is coming true more and more everyday.

All of the long hours, time spent away from family, stress, and worries have been completely worth it. Every time we get to send a very sick pet home after they are feeling better, is a daily reminder of why we do what we do. We speak for the voiceless, and help the pets that can’t help themselves.

I can’t wait to share construction updates with all of you as we build our new, bigger, beautiful facility!

SOS 🆘

We have been contacted by a non-profit organization this morning to help gather supplies for the search and rescue dogs in TX helping with the historic flooding.

They currently need as many bags of Lactated Ringers Solution as they can get to keep these courageous dogs hydrated while they work.

If you have any contacts at veterinary hospitals, humans hospitals, or pharmacies, and they are willing to donate please have them call us at 931-338-1829 or 931-551-2935.

Thank you for all your help!

Happy Independence Day!!!!!!!!!

We will be open today for any urgent care needs!

As a safety reminder… please keep all animals inside as much as possible. This day every year is the day when the most dogs escape/get lost.

If you go for a walk, please tighten the collar so they can’t slip out. If they are microchipped, make sure your information is registered, and up to date. Put an air tag on them… something that will aid in recovery. No one thinks it will be their pet that gets lost, until it happens. So take precautions now.

Make sure if they are anxious, you give them a nice quiet space to get away from the noise.

We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, and doesn’t need to come and see us, but we will be there if you do!
