We had this photo sent to us and the owner captioned it "Lord, please let Dr. Stevens give me good news today"! 💖
Fiona did get a good news report, except for the diet part.....but Dr. Stevens can totally relate to that too! 🤣
Thank you for sending us this sweet picture of Fiona!

Dr Stevens is terrible with technology so somehow she recorded this in warp speed but it still shows how good Nova is at sitting and waiting for her supper! What a good girl!! Please call 309.932.3434 if you are interested in adopting her!

We have had a few people ask so just a heads up, we did not print a calendar this year. The last couple of years, we have thrown out more than we sold therefore, we were losing money on behalf of the Puppy Fund. Dr Stevens did not believe it was in the best interest of that fund to continue to do the calendars. It was fun while it lasted and we really enjoyed seeing all of our patients in the pictures that were submitted. If you want to brighten our day, randomly throughout the year, keep emailing those fun pictures! Thank you for your understanding!

Anyone remember Rooster?! We had him a few years ago as a Puppy Fund doggie. We get updates from time to time of him in his new home. We couldn't be happier that he found a wonderful family to call his own! 💖

Dr Stevens is busy today learning about all sorts of topics from the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association Virtual Conference! She likes to do the virtual route so she can stay in the Galva area in case of emergencies our clients may have while still getting HIGH quality continuing education!! Veterinarians are required to get 40 hours of CE every two years! Dr Stevens far exceeds that number of hours but she loves to learn new things to help patients!! 🙌

As we celebrate Isabella's accomplishment, we recognize that often times, certified veterinary technicians are asked when they are going to graduate from veterinary school. In Isabella's case, as in many cases, these technicians do not wish to become veterinarians (doctors) but rather the support staff that makes a veterinary hospital run on a day-to-day basis.
There is a movement in the veterinary industry to start referring to veterinary technicians as nurses. A certified veterinary technician is the equivalent as a registered nurse (RN) in the human medical field.
Below you will find a chart that outlines what tasks Isabella can now perform since she is a licensed technician. Immediate supervision means that Dr. Stevens is in the immediate area and can visual the patient and the nurse treating the patient, direct supervision means that Dr. Stevens is at the same premise where the patient is being treated by the nurse and indirect supervision means that Dr. Stevens is not on premise but has given oral or written instructions to what the nurse needs to be doing to a patient. These rules are outlined in our Illinois Veterinary Practice Act and do differ between states.
Please let us know if you have questions about this. All of the jobs in our office are important however it is worth noting that they are not all the same and each of us wears our own "special hat".

As a rural American, mixed animal solo practitioner, in order to be successful, you need to surround yourself with positively impacting colleagues! Dr. Buzz Iliff is one of those people for Dr Stevens. He visited the practice on Monday with this fitting mat as a present for Dr Stevens. He gave her many different situations in which he has used it over the years in order to make his job easier or more comfortable. Yesterday, Dr Stevens took the mat with her to pregnancy check ewes. Not only did the mat provide a cushion for her knees but it also kept her knees off of the wintery ground. She can see why Dr. Buzz gave it to her and she is so grateful to have him as a mentor and friend! ❄️💖

While coming in the driveway today, Dr Stevens witnessed this beautiful bird of prey flying to his perch after a successful hunt! It is wonderful being on the edge of town to see all of God's creatures in their natural element! (You may need to zoom in to see the bald eagle)

Good, Monday, morning! Our Thanksgiving hours: Open per usual Monday-Wednesday (8AM to 5 PM) and closed the rest of the week! We hope you have a great Thanksgiving with family and friends!

Miss Nova Lee is still looking for her forever family. She is currently in boarding but would love to find either a foster home or a forever home. Nova needs to be the only pet in the home but seems to love all people. She’s estimated to be about 4-5 years old and is spayed and vaccinated. Call the clinic for more information.

The first day of summer break means Dr Stevens' nephews are helping the welding crew at the clinic. They will be awfully sad when their make shift teeter-totter is no longer available! 🤣

Sam is so excited for this news, she is JUMPING for JOY: SVC welcomes you and your family to join us in celebrating our new space! We will be having an Open House on Friday, May 24 from 4-7 PM at the new clinic! Come check out our new space, visit with old and new friends and enjoy some food with us! We may even have some fun door prizes!! 2012 County Hwy 5 Galva, IL 61434

Happy Easter from our crew at the clinic to you and your loved ones! We hope your day is filled with hope, love, and laughter!! 💖

What do you think of our new artwork?! These are acoustic panels that will, hopefully, help out the echoing that we are experiencing in the new clinic! We love our new space but with all the surfaces being "easy to clean" it echoes more than we would like. Fingers crossed this helps! If not, we have some pretty cool wall hangings! 🤞🤗🥰

Gollylee we have a great crew helping move today! Thank you to Sue VanDeVelde for the lunch!! It was delicious!!
