The ticks came out in full force this season! Ticks can transmit various diseases to our pets (and potentially us too!) especially if they are not on preventatives. One disease that our pets can contract is called lyme disease. The most common symptoms include: intermittent lameness on the hind legs, painful or swollen joints, a fever, and decreased appetite and energy. The ticks that transmit this disease are typically found in grassy, wooded or marshy areas. Refer to the diagram below to see the most common places ticks like to hide.

We’ve been reaccredited by AAHA as a traditional practice AND newly accredited as a referral practice!!

This means we have achieved the highest level of veterinary excellence following evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). We earned AAHA accreditation after a rigorous review of the hospital’s practice protocols, medical equipment, facility, and client service.

Unlike human hospitals, not all animal hospitals are required to be accredited. Pet owners can trust that an AAHA-accredited hospital follows the AAHA Standards of Accreditation, which are continuously reviewed and updated by leaders in the veterinary profession to reflect changing best practices from the cutting edge of veterinary medicine.

AAHA-accredited hospitals are recognized among the finest in the industry because they voluntarily choose to be evaluated on more than 900 quality standards that go above and beyond state regulations, ranging from patient care and pain management to staff training and advanced diagnostic services.

This sweet Frenchie named Frannie Princess was referred to us for a gingival mass evaluation and treatment as it had regrown after removal by her referring veterinarian. Based on dental x-rays and previous histopathology of the mass, treatment included mass removal and extraction of three teeth to ensure complete clearance of the tumor. Here’s hoping for a smooth recovery!
