FACE Low-Cost Animal Clinic

06/24/2025

This is our beautiful patient, Red, who came to us with a positive heartworm diagnosis. We had already spayed her back in May, so now we can just focus on taking care of this disease. She's a little sleepy in these photos as the calming medication we gave her does its job.

We are fortunate to be able to provide a low-cost heartworm treatment program for patients like Red, as costs for this year-long treatment can be considerably high. We look forward to giving Red the best chance at a long, healthy, heartworm-free life.

Our treatment plan includes an initial consultation visit, three injections of a specialized medicine, and two follow-up appointments to verify that your dog is heartworm negative.

If your dog has recently tested positive for heartworm, please call us at (317) 638-3223. Our team will conduct a screening interview to determine if your pet is a good candidate for our treatment regimen.

The heat dome starts to cover us today. We all need some relief, even our community cat neighbors. Here are some suggestions for having a cool cat. While you’re out cooling them off, maybe take a few photos to enter into our community cat calendar contest. Www.faceanimalclinic.org/cat-calendar.

When the weather warms up, community cats need extra help staying cool!

🚰 Fresh water - Replenish daily and add ice cubes to help it stay cool! You can even freeze entire bowls of water and let them melt outside.

⛱️ Shady spots - This can be as simple as setting up an umbrella or planting a bush!

🐟Wet food - Wet food helps cats stay hydrated when they’re not getting enough water. Just don’t leave it sitting out!

🧊Frozen bottles - Fill up a 1 or 2 liter bottle with water, freeze it, and then put it outside for overheated kitties to lie next to.

👅Frozen tube treats! Put them in the freezer for a feline-friendly popsicle.

How it began vs. how it ended.

Our medical director, Dr. DeBrota, took care of our very apprehensive patient, Draco, at his clinic visit today. He was not enjoying his visit at first and we put a muzzle on as a precautionary measure, which calmed him significantly. Draco received a brief exam, vaccines, a heartworm test, and nail trim.

Although these visits can be confusing and scary for some patients, we think they know we are here to help them going forward. As shown, by the end of the visit, Draco and Dr. DeBrota were suddenly best buds.

We're so glad we can offer these services at low-cost to help patients like Draco get the care they need and start living their best life at home with a loving family. Thank you to all our donors who help us provide these services to patients needing our high-quality vet care.
