Greetings from the Practice Manager!
Anyone else wondering where summer went? I know we say this every year but I sure wish this beautiful weather would stick around longer than it does.
We've spent the summer helping our new veterinarians adapt to business here. Both Dr. Denny and Dr. Jill have jumped right into the midst of things and we are very grateful to have them. Dr. Denny has been fully involved in large animal and Dr. Jill is training on small animal. Dr. Denny has started taking call and Dr. Jill will sometime in the next couple of months. I'm sure you understand when I say Dr. John and Dr. Jeff are relieved to have some help in that area. Just a reminder, we are unable to do after hour small animal emergencies at this time. The clinics open for those emergencies are available either on our voice mail message or on our webpage.
Today was surgery day at the clinic, we had a calf hernia, a foal hernia, and a possible foreign body in a dog. Good thing many hands make light work. 🙂 Another reminder, corn cobs and tampons are very detrimental to a dogs digestive system.
We've had some excellent summer help and are so thankful for the ladies who assisted us. Mara worked in small animal and will be a senior at Fillmore Central this fall. Brea and Olivia worked in large animal and both are pursuing admission to vet school. The same adage as above applies here.
Finally, as the Minnesota State Fair approaches we want to recognize the youth involved in agriculture. We assist many with health and maintenance of their projects and preparing certificates to travel to shows. The future of agriculture is bright because of programs like FFA, 4-H, and school ag classes. And also because of parents who encourage their kids to look to a future on the family farm. We're committed to helping support these young people as best we can.
Enjoy these closing days of summer, moving cattle home from pastures, chute work, and harvest are right around the corner. Thank you for your business, we appreciate you!
We added a new art wall a little while ago. I think it represents us pretty well. 🙂 Thanks to Farm Charm for the decor!
