Folsom Veterinary Clinic

09/11/2024

Folsom Veterinary Clinic will be closing at noon today (Sept 11) due to the storm. We may be open tomorrow, however that will depend on weather and power.

We strongly recommend you bring any outside pets inside during the storm, or ensure that they have a sturdy and secure shelter. Please stay safe.

07/02/2024

There are two business days until the 4th. If your dog needs anxiety meds, call your vet NOW.

Don't forget how many pets get scared enough to clear their fence every bang-bang holiday. Bring them in if at all possible!

We are going to beg here.

Please don't just throw kittens out. Please don't just dump them on the side of the road. Please.

We will help if no one else will. We have two more kittens that we got in just two days this past week - one found in a culvert right after the huge storms, and one that looks like it was thrown from a moving car.

We understand that there are, frankly, too many pets in this world, more than people can take on. We will help you find resources for spays and neuters. We will help unwanted kittens if you let us help mom too.

They are born because we, as a whole, were careless. They shouldn't suffer for that, too.

Please let us help.

We are so excited!

We are one of fifty veterinary clinics in the US - and the only one in Louisiana - to be a part of Loyal's Dog Longevity study. Sounds amazing already, right? Wait. It gets better.

We are looking for dogs that we can verify are over ten years old and over 14 pounds. Be aware that there are some serious medical conditions that can eliminate your best friend from the study, but even some dogs with heart conditions could qualify. Call the clinic at 9eight5-7nine6-33one3 and we can check for you regarding any conditions your dog may have.

Benefits? Oh my word, the benefits. You get multiple free vet visits and bloodwork for your dog. Loyal sends to our clinic or to your home - again, free of charge - daily chews for your dog to take to test the efficacy of this longevity drug that they have developed. You also bring your friend for exemplary veterinary assessments and valuable diagnostics that could reveal any illnesses that you may not even know about yet.

Did I mention free?

You don't have to give up your regular veterinarian that you know and love, but we do have to share records with them. We also have to be able to verify age, via registration paperwork, vet records, rescue paperwork from when you got them as a pup, or even social media posts. There are four visits to our clinic in Folsom in the first year once you are qualified for the study, and then one or two visits per year for the next three years after.

You could be helping people all over the US to possibly have more time with their own little buddy - call today!

We had a client bring in a couple of teensy kittens this morning. They found them on the side of the road in front of Main's, and the kittens were covered in fly eggs. Maggots are Doc's weakness in veterinary medicine, but she regained her composure and grabbed flea combs and a tech. Blech. (The tech said it was like combing off mayonnaise. Yuck.)

Long story shorter, we are doing all we can for the newest members of the Folsom Vet family, Wakanda and Bluey. They are probably less than a day old, and Bluey had a mouth full of dirt when recovered and is less stable than Wakanda. They are getting a lot of love and attention and care.

We would welcome your donation to our Community Critter Care fund, for these babies and the others that will follow. Dm us with your name and cell number and how much you wish to donate, and we can send you an invoice for that amount that you can pay remotely. We are spending just cost on these and more, but keeping us close to breaking even helps us help more.

Dangerous Temperatures for Pets!

The next two nights will see low temperatures in the teens here in South Louisiana, and then in the low 20s at the end of the week. This kind of weather has us all scrambling, and it is important to remember that your pets will need protection if they usually live outside. They are not used to that kind of cold, and will not be able to stay warm without your help.

If it is at all possible, please bring short haired pets inside your home, garage, or even a shed over night while temperatures are below 25 degrees. If it is not possible to bring pets inside, they will need a dry, weatherproof spot in order to shelter and stay warm. Bed their housing deeply with straw or hay. Blankets and towels will compact, and will also become damp and then they no longer help hold heat in. Heat lamps and heating pads should be avoided unless it is absolutely necessary, they pose a significant risk of fire and burn injury.

Folsom Veterinary Clinic does have some boarding space available if they need protection from the cold and you don't have an option to do that at home.

Sometimes, your patient can come off fluids for a bit but also doesn't want his "real" mama to know he's sleeping with his doc on the down-low.

12/23/2022

From all of us to all of you we wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Yule.

Folsom Vet Clinic will close at 4pm on Friday, December 23rd, and we will be closed December 24th, 25th, and 26th. If you have an emergency please contact Medvet in Mandeville at 985-626-4862 or Northlake Vet Hospital at 985-626-7522.

12/23/2022

During this period of subfreezing weather, we'd like to remind you that even pets who normally live outside need a dry, windproof shelter with straw or shavings as bedding. Towels or blankets can become damp and then they will chill the animal rather than keep them warm.

If at all possible we strongly recommend bringing your pets inside during the night. Even if you are sheltering them in a kennel in a garage or shed rather than inside your house. Our Louisiana dogs and cats aren't prepared for 20 degree weather.

12/17/2022

Santa Claus is here!!

The Big Man himself, Mr. Santa Claus is at Folsom Vet Clinic today! He will be taking pictures with pets until 3pm. We'd absolutely love to see your pets' happy faces for a fantastic holiday picture!

A small donation is requested, to be shared between Fighting Chance Rescue, Forgotten Felines Rescue, and our Angel Fund.
