Glad to see this calf thriving!

"Humpty" was born about a week and a half ago with a hernia. Thanks to the quick surgical work of Dr. Warner at Elgin Veterinary Hospital Bovine and close supervision by Dr. Lastovica & Dr. Pitmon at Friendship Veterinary Center, Inc., he's doing better and ready for a bright future as a show steer!

One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to lose some weight. This may be an ideal goal for your pet as more than 50 percent of dogs and cats in the U.S. are classified as overweight or obese, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP). Even a few extra pounds puts your pet at significant risk for a number of serious health problems. With the new year upon us, what’s a better New Year’s resolution than to help your pet achieve a healthy weight?
