‼️New product alert just in time for spring‼️

Credelio Quattro has the same great flea and tick prevention as always PLUS added heartworm prevention and coverage for tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms in a single monthly tablet. Additionally, it off label covers whipworms and mites! There is no product currently available that has this broad of coverage. The price point is very comparable to a Milbeguard + Bravecto 6 month supply with more coverage which is why we have decided to start carrying this product in our office. A current heartworm test/prescription is required to purchase this product as it is prescription only. Please give us a call if you have any questions - (276) 346-3750

Looks like we have a repeat, but colder 🥶 it’s so pretty, but boy does it create a mess. We will be working with a skeleton crew today as the majority of our staff are unable to make it out of their roads or are out sick. But we will do the best we can to get everyone taken care of today. We will also be monitoring road conditions going into the afternoon and will likely close early tonight so staff can make it home safely. If you’re unable to make your appointment today, please call 276-346-3750 and we will get you rescheduled. Please stay safe and warm out there!

Warning - there is a long post ahead from Dr. Parsons on the retirement of Gail R. Cope, LVT.

It’s hard to find the perfect words to fully express the emotions I feel and what I really want to say about Miss Gail. I think it’s most appropriate to explain who Gail is through my own experiences with her and the character I have personally observed.

Gail has been a staple at Lee County Animal Hospital since the practice first opened in 1981. I didn’t really get to know Gail until I started shadowing at LCAH around 2009. Gail was an inspiration from the start. It was good for me to see such a strong woman doing truly life saving work. I have never told her this, but she was one of the most influential people in my decision to go on to veterinary school - we often forget to tell people what an impact they have made on our lives.

For those that have never worked behind the scenes in a veterinary hospital, it may be hard to fathom what all a veterinary technician does. The role is quite vast and encompasses at least 10 equivalent human medicine roles. One has to be very intelligent, well educated, skilled, and dedicated in order to survive in such a role. For years, I have watched Gail handle it with such grace. There have definitely been very hard days and sometimes weeks (months), but Gail has always been resilient.

Gail took me under her wing as a baby veterinarian fresh out of the nest. She helped figure out how to practice (something they really don’t teach in veterinary school). She walked me through my very first laceration repair and countless other “firsts” as I was getting used to the ropes. Her patience level is truly remarkable. Gail has cried with me after euthanizing beloved pets. She has came in to work in the middle of the night with her blood donor dog, Stazi, to do emergency blood transfusions. She has always answered the phone on a day off when I have inevitably messed up the lab machines and needed help undoing my mess. Gail has came in to run anesthesia for me during emergency c-sections, leg amputations, lacerations, and the list goes on and on. She has always been there when I needed her and never told me no. I could always count on Gail - she has literally dedicated her life to helping animals.

Gail has also become a good friend over the years. She greatly supported me through the transition after purchasing the practice and becoming a solo practitioner - her support there probably has meant the most to me more than anything else. I could go to her with an issue and she would always have the best advice - that was a very difficult time personally and I don’t know if I could’ve survived without Gail.

Gail has also been a clinical educator to countless veterinary technician students during her long career. And she has “trained” more doctors than she would have liked - we are like babies fresh out of the womb when we first graduate and need someone to mother us a little until we get on our feet. She has done that for so many veterinarians. Gail has also played an integral role in training/educating our veterinary students that come through. She has also spent the last year training our girls on taking over after she retires.

I could continue to go on for hours talking about Gail and all she has done for me and veterinary medicine, but I’ll save that for a book one day.

Please join me and the team at Lee County Animal Hospital in congratulating Gail on a well deserved retirement. She has more than earned her time to relax and enjoy peace. Today is Gail’s last day. If you want to stop by and see Gail before she leaves, you are more than welcome to do so. Also feel free to call and give your well wishes.

Congratulations, Gail!!! We love you!!!

This week is National Veterinary Technician Week and we are celebrating with our amazing team. We are very proud of them, and we want to take a moment to recognize all of our lovely assistants and technician. The jobs these ladies do are vast and they all work so hard with their primary goal of doing the best they possibly can for our patients.

Right to left:
Kelsey Snow has been with us as an assistant for over 3 years and is in the last part of her training with Penn Foster to be a licensed veterinary technician. Kelsey is our resident cat lady - she loves all animals (except not so fond of frogs), but especially loves our feline friends. Kelsey will be taking Gail’s place as lead technician once she finishes her licensure process.

Nikki Jerrell has been an assistant here since 2013. Nikki plans to start her training to be a licensed veterinary technician next year. Nikki has a particular interest in reptiles and especially enjoys her tortoise, Darma. Nikki takes great pride in making sure the clinic is clean for all of our patients. (Pictured with her rescue kitten Keith - our newest clinic cat).

Gail Cope has been a licensed veterinary technician with the practice since 1981 when the hospital originally opened. Gail is set to retire at the end of the month, and has spent the last year instilling her vast knowledge and experience into the girls. Gail has been an integral part of this hospital since its inception and we will be celebrating her individually in a few weeks.

Morgan Dean is the newest member of our team, but she comes with a lot of experience working at other hospitals. Morgan joined the practice a little over a year ago and is training to become a licensed veterinary technician through Purdue University. Morgan has a particular passion for research medicine and helping further knowledge to help our 4 legged friends. She also loves caring for all of our furry patients ensuring they are well taken care of while in our hands.
