As if a total remodel wasn’t enough of a change we got an office cat!! For those of you that haven’t been in the clinic in the past couple months, MEET CHUCK!! Chuck is approximately 13 years old and started her life as a barn cat. She has made herself at home here at the clinic and can be seen sitting on the front desk on a daily basis. Here’s some pictures of Chuck’s life….

We are having phone issues! We are sorry for any inconvenience this is causing our clients. Please be patient with us as are aware of the situation and we are working on a resolution….

Let’s Celebrate!!!! Today Dr Haarmann worked cattle in the barn at East Side for the first time in a year. As most of our large animal farmers know, Dr Haarmann has cut his schedule (he no longer is seeing small animals) and is working only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Give us a call at 217-342-4713 and we can get you on his schedule. 🐷🐮🐃🐂🐄🫏🐎🐖🐏🐑🦙🐐

Here’s the finished product!!! It’s been a full year since construction started and we are finally running in the whole clinic. We will start doing cattle work again soon. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

We are diagnosing heartworms in dogs at a rapidly increasing rate. We are averaging around 1-2 positive dogs a week. This is just our East Side Clinic. Most come in with no symptoms but there are those with coughing, weight loss, fatigue, decreased appetite, fainting spells and swollen belly. The earlier we diagnose a dog, the better chances of them recovering. For more information or to make an appointment to have your dog tested, please call the clinic at 217-342-4713.

Did anyone notice what the high temperature was today? 98 degrees on my car when I got in at my lunch time at 11:30am. That’s really warm out there for humans but please don’t forget your animals!!! They have to have plenty of cold water and shade. Another thing to remember….. when the sun is beating down on the sidewalks and roadways a pets paws can get 3rd degree burns just like our feet can. Please look after the animals just like you would yourself and your children….
