One thousand five hundred! That’s how many homeless animals we have helped in the past three years alone through our local rescue clients, Davey’s Cat Pit Stop and Chequamegon Humane Association! Whether it be spay, neuter, dental care, vaccinations, or other medical or surgical care, we do it all. We have donated over $80,000 of surgical and medical care to these two organizations in the past three years alone. This is our way of making the world a better place. What’s yours? 🐾❤️ 🐕 🐈‍⬛
We encourage everyone to be the change you want to see in the world! If anybody would like to donate to help the cause, please contact these rescues directly on their pages tagged above!

Our reduced cost vaccination clinic will be held on Saturday, January 13th from 9-11am. We will once again host it at our veterinary clinic in Drummond. If you are not currently a client, please bring proof of previous vaccinations with you so we can be sure to administer the appropriate vaccines to your pets. All dogs must be on a leash, and all cats must be in a carrier. It will be on a first come, first served basis. We look forward to seeing you there! 🐾

Completely not vet related, but here’s my cheap plug for our high school boys powerlifting team. We will be at Rondeau’s today from 1-7 selling homemade baked goods to raise funds to help these kids buy uniforms and travel to competitions. Our powerlifting team is not financially supported by the school so all expenses fall on them! If you’d like to help them out, please consider stopping by to buy a delicious piece of heaven! As an added bonus, I will answer any veterinary related questions you have about you pets free of charge with any donation to our team! It’s a win-win! See you at Rondeau’s!!!

Hey all! Who needs a kitty? How about five? Ten? Twenty? One hundred twenty? That’s how many cats we’ve spayed and neutered in the last 30 days here at NorthStar. One hundred twenty! Doesn’t sound too impressive until you know that all of those cats came from just one tiny area of our region. Recently our own Hannah Swanson has created a cat rescue program, Davey’s Cat Pit Stop, to help stop unwanted litters and overcrowding of our cat population. She has been working tirelessly to rescue, trap, spay/neuter, vaccinate and release or rehome these cats in need. I have donated my surgery services to spay, neuter, and vaccinate. Hannah has been funding the rest on her own with some donations from a few awesome community members. Here’s where YOU come in. We need your help to help these poor kitties and the people who find themselves overrun by cats. How can you help?
1. If you have a cat (or dog) please don’t add to the problem. Get your pets spayed or neutered. If you need financial help, please reach out.
2. Please stop turning your cats loose to breed and survive on their own.
3. Stop surrendering your pets because you’re bored with them or they’re too much work. Shelters are overrun and can’t take anymore cats! Make a commitment to keep your own pets!
4. Do you know where there are feral cats or unaltered cats living? Please let us know so we can catch them and stop the population from getting out of hand.
5. Make a donation to Davey’s Cat Pit Stop! Cash, cat litter, cat food, anything would be helpful to keep Hannah in a position to help these cats and their people! No amount is too small. You may drop any donations off at the clinic.
6. Adopt a cat or kitten from her! Make some room in your heart for a new furry friend! She has lots of cats and kittens needing a home for the holidays!

Thank you all for reading, donating, adopting, and spaying and neutering! Please call us at (715)739-6823 with questions or for donations to Davey’s Cat!

Pssst…hey everyone! This week is National Veterinary Technician’s week. Every year in October we celebrate our techs and everything they do for the veterinarians, clients and patients in their lives. Vet techs are the nurses (and beyond) of the veterinary world. They do not hold the title of doctor, but the doctors would be lost without them. They are the behind the scenes heroes of our hospitals and of your pets’ healthcare team. Please join us in thanking them and in celebrating their commitment and contributions to keeping animals of all kinds healthy! Thank you to our wonderful, irreplaceable tech Jackie Swanson, and our techs in training Rowenna Janisch and Hannah Swanson. And thank you to all of the amazing veterinary technicians out there! We couldn’t do it without you. Happy vet tech week! 🐾 ❤️ 🐶 🐈 🩺

Everybody say hello to Bernie! Bernie had a serious toe injury that required amputation. He handled anesthesia and surgery like a champ and is back home recovering with his owner. (Don’t worry, we did not use the nail trimmers in the picture. That was just for trimming nails afterward 😊) Thanks to his owner for this awesome and fun opportunity to work on a giant lizard! 🦎 Cool day in the clinic. 😎

We had a very special visitor in the clinic today! This beautiful barred owl was brought in after likely suffering head trauma on the highway. We were able to asses and stabilize him until one of our wonderful clients who works with the raptor center was able to transport him to get the specialized care that he needed. Thank you Rowenna Janisch for saving him off the highway and Mary Hayes for transporting him! What a beautiful community we live in!

Exciting changes are happening in the clinic pharmacy! You may have noticed your pets medication going home in a different vial than normal recently. Our new vials are made from plants and are biodegradable! No more feeling guilty about throwing them in a landfill because they will naturally disappear within a few months! They are also recyclable so you may continue to recycle them with your plastics if you wish! This is just a small step that we are taking to help protect our environment!

Has your pet had surgery with us recently? If so, they may have been sporting one of these awesome heart covered E collars when they went home!

We did it! 🥳 Week 19 of this rigorous chemo schedule is in the books and Titan is in remission! There are no guarantees how long his remission will last, but I am thankful for every single extra week that I get to spend with my best friend and shadow. Thank you all for the prayers and get well wishes! 😅 We made it. Cancer can take a hike!!

We are very excited to officially welcome Hannah Swanson to our team here at NorthStar! Hannah will be filling the role of our new veterinary assistant. Hannah is the daughter of Jackie and the late Dr. Eric Swanson. Hannah pretty much grew up in a veterinary clinic and has continued the family passion for animals. In her spare time she helps show the family Brittanys or can be found in the woods with her hounds. Hannah brings much youthful enthusiasm to the clinic and of course she loves our patients as much as any of us. We are excited to see what her future holds! Please join us in welcoming Hannah! 🐾 ❤️

Hello everyone! Summer has arrived and our clinic is as busy as ever. Our schedule is currently booked out about two weeks for urgent care, four weeks for routine appointments, and six weeks for surgery. Our commitment is to our current clients whom we value so much. Because of the long wait times to get in for an appointment, we need everyone to please be proactive in your pets care. Please call at least a month in advance of when you need to come in for a general exam, vaccines or a nail trim, etc. If your pet needs a surgery scheduled please call at least six to eight weeks in advance. We do reserve four emergency spaces in our schedule each day for sick pets who need to be seen immediately, but those typically are filled by 10am. If your pet is sick, we advise that you do not wait several days before calling and also please call immediately in the morning instead of waiting until afternoon to try to get squeezed in to the schedule. We have been trying our best to keep up with demand by hiring new staff, scheduling extra squeeze in appointments every day, and offering appointments to current clients only. We understand that you may be frustrated, but we need your help and being proactive in your pets care will help everyone involved. We also appreciate 24 hour advance notice when you need a prescription refilled. Our phone lines have been jammed lately, so if you call and do not get an answer please keep trying. We are simply on the line with another concerned pet owner trying to help them. If you are on our waiting list to become a new client, please know that we are doing our best and will be calling you as soon as any availability opens up. Realistically speaking that will likely be this fall or winter. We greatly appreciate your patience. We are a small clinic with a small support staff, but we love it that way because that’s why we know all of our clients and patients so well. Have patience please, and remember to plan ahead! Happy summer everyone, and keep those pets cool!

Titan is on week seven of chemotherapy and is going strong! Most days he acts like a big puppy, maybe even better than before. Only twelve more weeks to go! Lymphoma is a scary diagnosis, and chemo is a scary word, but this big guy is handling it all like a champ. Thank you to everyone for the well wishes and prayers. Keep them coming, we’ve still got a long way to go, but smooth sailing so far. 🐾 ,

It pains me to have to post this, but I have no choice. Over the last several months we have experienced a dramatic increase in intolerable behavior amongst people seeking to use our veterinary services. From this day forward I am instituting a zero tolerance policy for rude or threatening behavior in my clinic. We understand that you may be stressed about your pets’ health or other circumstances in the world, but we will not be the punching bag for anyone’s frustration anymore. Our staff does not deserve to be hung up on, guilted, bullied or verbally abused by anybody under any circumstances. If you can’t be respectful and courteous to us as human beings just trying to do our jobs, you will be asked to leave the clinic and your relationship with our clinic will be terminated. Be kind. Act better than your dog. That is all we are asking. Thank you.

To all of the Titan fans out there who see him wagging his tail at you and ask me how he’s doing every time you visit the clinic:
This big old yellow boy started round one of a nineteen week course of chemotherapy today. Titan became suddenly blind and very sick while I was out of town two weeks ago. Yesterday, his test results returned conclusive for lymphoma. As you can imagine, I am crushed, heartbroken, and have no words. I have been able to restore a good amount of his vision and make him feel better with preliminary drugs. Without treatment, he would survive only a few more weeks. Titan is telling me that he’s not ready to give up yet, therefore I will not give up on him. With chemotherapy, he stands a chance at surviving another six months to a year with a good quality of life. Of course, Titan’s quality of life always takes precedence over his quantity of life. When he tells me he is done, I will graciously help him leave this world with dignity. I’m posting this publicly for several reasons.
1) To thank Jackie and Hannah Swanson who noticed while I was out of town that something wasn’t right, and took care of my boy for me as I raced home.
2) To thank Dr. Monica Brilla of Northland Veterinary Services who so graciously looked at Titan after hours in her own home and helped calm me while I was reeling from not being there to take care of him.
3) To let all of my clients know that I too am human, and when you think you are being foolish for crying over losing your pets in front of me, please know that I completely understand, and am “losing it” too.
4) To say cancer sucks, and I’m not willing to let it win without a fight! Please keep Titan in your prayers as we fight this with all we’ve got. 🐾 ❤️

Just a reminder that Easter Lilies and many other types of Lilies are toxic (and often fatal) to cats. Please keep the lilies out of your home if you have feline friends! 🐈 🐈‍⬛
