🐾 We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday week ahead!
🇺🇸 To help all of our clients prepare for the weekend ahead, we wanted to make all aware of our hours. Please do not forget to order your medication refills today if your pet needs any medication to help any noise phobias, travel stress, or party anxiety.
🚨 If your pet does experience a medical emergency, see how to seek care from the recommended providers listed on our website: https://www.centralbucksvets.com/contact-us/emergency-and-after-hours/
🌽 Some quick tips:
1. Keep your pet indoors during fireworks, close the blinds, turn on white noises (fans, TVs, speakers, etc.), and give the medication prior if prescribed by your veterinarian.
2. Avoid feeding any table scraps at picnics, especially high fat foods (hot dogs, bacon), xylitol, onions, garlic, avocado, and grapes/raisins.
3. Always keep your dog closely monitored if at a party around other dogs and children.
4. To avoid ear infections, always flush your dogs ears with antibacterial and antifungal ear cleaners (ex. Epi-Otic, EpiKlean, Malacetic Ultra) after swimming, baths, and grooming sessions.

🥳 It’s our 2️⃣ year anniversary!
💭 Thank you to our wonderful clients. As we reflect back on the past two years, we are grateful for our welcoming community, relationships with patients and clients we have been able to continue from previous hospitals and new ones we have grown, the veterinary professionals we have worked alongside with ideas to help develop the clinic to where we stand today, and the family and friends who have patiently stood by us through the late nights, early mornings, and missed events to help a patient in need.
☀️ As we look forward to the many years (decades) ahead, we cherish each year of new lessons learned to better serve our community every day.
👏🏼 Now let’s see what year 3 holds for Central Bucks Veterinary Hospital!

🐾 Today our technician, Melissa, presented on the importance and techniques of “low stress” handling to our team to continue always bettering patient care.
🐶 Every team member is given an annual continuing education allowance with a caveat - they have to present what they learned to the team so all can learn! Melissa is very passionate about decreasing patient stressors and approaching every detail of their care with this in mind.

☀️ Have you met Ruby? She is our summer veterinary student working as our diligent veterinary assistant! Ruby is a pre-veterinary student at University of Connecticut and pictured here with one of our adorable patients, Oscar, an graduate for our amazing veterans. Ruby was connected with Dr. Esplin through their common mentor, Dr. Julia Allerton, a highly respected and long-established equine veterinarian in the area who recently retired. Dr. Esplin was taken under Dr. Allerton’s wing many years ago and has been excited to have Ruby under hers this summer!

🇺🇸 We are wishing everyone a safe Memorial Day, and we thank all who have given their lives and dedication to better our country every day!

☀️ To give our team the time they deserve with their family and friends on this holiday, our office is closed today, but we will be back to normal hours tomorrow!

🎆 To all who have pets with noise phobias (fireworks), remember to administer any calming medications prescribed by your veterinarian BEFORE the evening, add white noise, close blinds, create a safe space for them indoors, and keep them inside to prevent accidental runaways. This includes our hooved patients as well!

🌭 BBQ’s are always great fun but please remember to keep your dogs away from pork products, grapes, onions, garlic, and avocado and contact ASPCA’s pet poison control immediately if they ingest anything suspicious.

🐾 We are happy to share a recent case (with the owner's permission) and large quality of life improvement for a senior patient of ours, Finley. Finley was recently rescued by his new family over the summer time with a mass that was rapidly growing in size on his side, which resulted in significant mobility issues.

🩺 At Finley's visit, Dr. Perkins scanned the 20 cm diameter mass with an ultrasound and aspirated fluid from it for cytologic analysis and culture to come up with the best plan. The preliminary diagnostics were consistent with a cyst-like mass and Dr. Perkins recommended surgical debulking (essentially removal of as much of the tissue as safely as possible) of the mass to improve quality of life. Surgery of a mass of this size can have greater risks for complications, including dehiscence (suture rupture), infection, and hemorrhage (bleeding), so our pre-surgical evaluation was especially important to craft the best surgical approach. Finley's pre-operative lab work was unremarkable, and he was deemed appropriate to undergo surgery!

💉 Dr. Perkins drained the mass and then carefully resected in surgery, weighing in at over 10 lbs! Due to the size of the mass, multiple layers of tissue were carefully closed with internal sutures, and a drain was placed to minimize internal fluid accumulation and infection. Finley was monitored post-op and sent home. Within 48 hours Finley's owners noted he was already rearing to go and had much more pep in his now much lighter step! So much so, we had to prescribe some calming medications to make sure he did not do any damage to his incision site while it healed.

🥳 At his suture removal appointment, Finley RAN into our treatment area, a large difference from pre-op when he needed to be supported and have special matting placed down for him to walk. In a few weeks time, his fur will regrow and cover the surgery site like it never even happened. We are so happy to see this wonderful quality of life improvement for the older fellow and his new owners!
