Some of you may have seen Annabelle assisting our CCS's up front when we were at Kimberly Crest after her treatments. Here is Dr. Taylor's testimonial: "Annabelle was always a food hound. She was obnoxious when it was close to dinner time. The first thing I noticed with her was she wasn't obnoxious. Then a few days later she didn't eat her dinner at all. The next morning I brought her in and found that she was anemic and had a mass on her spleen. We took her to surgery the same day and the biopsy came back as what I had feared hemangiosarcoma. I have treated dozens of dogs with hemangiosarcoma, so I knew what I was up against. In my head I was hoping for a year with her post surgery. I have seen dogs live much longer, and I have also seen dogs live much shorter than that. Because I had done chemo on dozens of dogs with hemangiosarcoma and seen how well they do with treatment, the decision to move forward with post-operative chemotherapy was a no-brainer. She had her first treatment in mid-January once she was healed from surgery. Overall, her side effects from chemo were fairly minimal. Some days I had to doctor up her food especially a few days after receiving a treatment, and she had some softer stools. Overall she was a happy dog during this period of time. She went through the whole 5 treatment regimen and I was hoping I was breathing a sigh of relief. Her last treatment was in early April. My wife and I went on a trip to San Francisco the first week of May. She was doing well when we left, but I had a phone call from my parents who were watching her that she had not been eating. She was brought in to work where they diagnosed that she was bleeding again. She didn't really respond to supportive care, so I got on a red eye flight so I could say goodbye to her. My initial gut reaction of grieving was I was angry. I had seen a lot of dogs get much more time, so I thought my dog should have gotten more time since I caught it early. As I've had time to reflect, I'm thankful for the time I had. If I hadn't have done surgery or chemo, I would not have had 4 good months with her."

Introducing, Oakley, a sweet mini-goldendoodle that we have been treating for Lymphoma. Her family said, "receiving the news that your beloved, four-legged friend has been diagnosed with cancer is devastating. On a warm summer morning in June we received this news regarding our 4-year old Mini-Goldendoodle, Oakley. We rushed her off to the ISU Small Animal Hospital in Ames where they confirmed she had Stage 5 Lymphoma. She underwent her first chemotherapy treatment that day and we were told she would need to return to Ames each week for the duration of her treatment which was estimated to be four months. Being a resident of the Quad Cities, this was not going to be a trip that could be taken every week to get her the care she required.

I called Oakley's local vet and explained the situation and she immediately contacted Creekside Veterinary Hospital and Referral Center to see if they would be willing to take over her treatment. I was relieved to hear that they would be more than happy to take over her chemotherapy treatments. The following week we made our way to the brand new, state of the art clinic in Davenport. The facility is certainly top notch, but it is the people in the facility that are absolutely wonderful. Dr. Taylor and Dr. Bahns have both been at the forefront of Oakley's treatment. They are professional and passionate about their work and it certainly shows. They take the time to explain the process and the potential side effects that may come with the treatments and are happy to thoroughly answer any questions that may arise.

The care and compassion that has been displayed by the doctors and the staff is unmatched. We are incredibly grateful for the gift of time we have been given as a result of the outstanding care that Oakley has received at Creekside Veterinary Hospital and Referral Center.

In our eyes, this is a 5 Star clinic that we highly recommend!

With gratitude,

The Family of Oakley"

This cutie is Birdie Lou! She received an injectable chemotherapy called Stelfonta to treat her mast cell tumor. Her parents said, "we rescued a pug 4 years ago. I have many friends and clients that have sung praises about the veterinary care their pets have received from the doctors and staff at Kimberly Crest Vet. hospital, now rebranded Creekside. They stand for excellence and truly love and care about their patients/owners too. Dr. Cahill has provided such compassionate care for our pug, Birdie Lou. Her exam found Birdie had a growth on her neck. Dr. Cahill performed a biopsy that showed it was the start of a mast cell tumor. We previously lost our boxer to mast cell cancer. She suggested a newer procedure that uses one time chemo that they found gave great removal of this kind of cancer. Creekside then appointed Dr. Taylor to meet Birdie. He thoroughly explained the procedure, with a quote of the costs and a site to research other vets results with this treatment countrywide. Our procedure has been performed and Birdie is currently into her second week- post treatment. Daily, Creekside asked for a clear photo of the wound. They have been responsive immediately letting me know the doctor's comments. It has been such a delight as they informed us so thoroughly of what to expect. We are thrilled with our care and looking forward to many years ahead for our pup...with Creekside Veterinary at the helm:)!"

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month. Animals suffer from pain just like people do. Pain comes in many forms: surgical pain, arthritis and cancer related pain, just to name a few. Acute pain is obvious and distressing. Chronic pain can be subtle, and masked as “getting old” or “slowing down.” Old age is not a disease, but pain is. If your pet is experiencing any of these signs, contact us about scheduling an exam today!

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.
