Happy New Year!

We are open until noon 12.31.24; closed 1.1.25. Reopen Thursday at 8 am.

Important Update
There is a rumor circulating that I am quitting and the hospital is closing. We can’t find who is spreading this false info, but several clients have been very worried. IT IS FALSE!! We are not closing.

All our doctors are happy and healthy and we are going to be here for years!

Thank you to the best clients anywhere. We love you and wish you all the best in 2025 and beyond.

Out of
—Pandora’s box
(The Byrds sing)
—“There is—
a season”
—(as George’s—
guitar…gently weeps)
—and…she wonders
Where will
—we go?
Who will listen
—or know—
our name
—(laugh—
or shed a tear)
—holding—
yellowed pages
—of words—
and letters
—typed in silence
Hoping that
—some hearts—
might hear
—(and choose)—
to dance
—(a bit longer)—
in a community
—of outsiders—
(watchers
—witnesses)—
Calling pawns
—to see—
the sunrise
—and its promise—
all while bathing
—in still dark pools…
Smiling
—(as angels—
try to sit
—upon the—
head of a pin)
—not…to…know
(No
—not at all)
But…just because
—they can…
Somewhere
—a mother cries…
Somewhere
—a child grins…
For two days more
—(the undead—
wander through
—hours of gray)…
Confetti falls
—(as a ball drops)—
and the living
—get—
another chance…
Happy New Year!

From LA County Public Health

Animal Health Alert: H5 bird flu confirmed in four domestic cats that consumed recalled raw milk, and in one cat that consumed commercially produced raw pet food.



Key Points:

Five indoor-only, domestic cats in one household in Los Angeles (LA) County died after consuming recalled raw milk. Four of these cats were tested and confirmed to be infected with H5 Bird Flu. This group includes the two cats described in an earlier alert issued 12/12/2024.
There are additional recalls on raw dairy products. The current recalls include:
All sizes of raw milk and cream produced by Raw Farm, LLC in California between November 9-27, 2024 (lot numbers 20241109 through 20241127).
All "Valley Milk Simply Bottle Raw Cow Milk" and "DESI Milk Raw Cow Milk" distributed in quart (32oz), half-gallon (64 oz), and one-gallon (128 oz) plastic judges with a code date marked on the container of "DEC 23 2024 through DEC 30 2024", produced by Valley Milk Simply Bottled of Stanislaus County.
From a separate household in LA County, a symptomatic cat has tested presumptive positive for H5 bird flu after consuming two different brands of raw pet food composed of raw poultry and raw beef. The investigation for this case is currently ongoing.
Animal health staff should specifically ask pet owners about exposure to raw milk and raw diets, share information about the risk of raw milk and raw diets, and caution pet owners NOT to consume raw dairy products, nor offer them to pets.
Animal health staff should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when in contact with animals suspected or confirmed of being infected with H5 bird flu; acutely sick animals that have history of exposure to raw milk or raw milk products, wild birds or raw or undercooked animal products.
Animal health staff are strongly recommended to receive their seasonal flu vaccine. Although this vaccine is not proven to prevent infection with H5 Bird Flu, it can help protect staff from seasonal human flu which is circulating right now.
REPORT suspected cases of H5 bird flu in cats and other animals. Testing for the virus may be available. A complete dietary history for the animal (including raw dairy, raw poultry and/or meat, and bird exposure) is needed.

There is an oak
—(that knows)—
the history
—and—
sordid secrets
—of a thousand—
passing
—lives…
Its branches
—(used by squirrels)—
by birds
—(and racists—
lynching
—blackness—
out of
—unholy enmity)…
Standing witness
—to the fall of lies—
and the birth
—of enlightenment…
Deep roots
—spreading out—
in a network
—where—
loneliness
—is impossible…
For citizens
—of earth—
connect
—sun and soil…
(Breathing in)
—and out—
in whispers
—too small—
for human ears
—(but mighty—
and full of such
—aesthetic)—
that they revere
—the glory—
of it all…

He took
—his darkness—
(and his tears)
—past the—
streetlight forest
—(into the—
Sacred Black)
—beyond—
the concrete path
—(scarring earth)—
demanding her
—submission
(Beyond the
—toxicity—
of blue light
—blazing)
Out of reach of
—the absent moon…
(There in company
—of raindrops
moldy sycamore
—and cold breezes)
Weeping silently
—for a Love—
lost to all
—who knew—
her name
—(there)—
Cracked lips form
—a fruitless call…
There
—dry eyes dribble—
salt & water
—hoping for—
a sea where
—they might—
once more swim
—connecting—
through some
—primordial ether—
just to be
—(just to be)
part of an
—all & everything—
forever able
—to touch—
and laugh
—through—
such long eternity…
