This beautiful blue girl is Millie. She presented to Internal Medicine for stomach upset. Upon exam, it was noted that she had an abnormally low heart rate. Dr. McGraw was concerned she had a second degree heart block based on her EKG and sent Millie to a cardiologist. Her dedicated owners are traveling to Auburn next week for Millie to receive a pacemaker. The pacemaker will manage her abnormal heart rate and help her live a full and active life. We wish this precious girl safe travels and a speedy recovery.

Introducing Bodacious Bode! Like most Bullies, Bode needs a little extra help managing his allergies from our dermatology tech, Stephanie and dermatologist, Dr. Friedman. If your pet is always itchy, has recurrent skin or ear infections, discuss with your family veterinarian if a dermatology referral is a good next step. For more information on pet allergies, check out the link below. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951475

May is national service animal eye exam month, and our very own ophthalmology team had the pleasure of meeting three amazing service dogs last week. Dr. Voyles and Nicole are pictured with Boodah, a sweet Lhasa Apso that is part of Intermountain Therapy Animals and participates in the Children's READ program. Boodah's eyes got a clean bill of health today, so he can continue to "read" to his precious children that love him so much. We also had the privilege of examining Angel and Meira. These Belgian Collie sisters are an integral part of the National Network of Canine Detection Services and are active search and rescue dogs. Auburn Veterinary Specialists Gulf Shores thanks Epicur Pharma for sponsoring this amazing event, and we look forward to meeting many more wonderful service animals this month and ensuring their eyes are healthy. Stay tuned for more throughout May!
