Looking for a new home for this lost little kitten!

He showed up at our dear client’s home and we are on the hunt for a permanent home for this sweet, shy, little guy. He’s really starting to love personal attention but would do well in a quiet home, with maybe just one other calm cat or two. Unfortunately he found a foster home currently with a big heart, but no room to give him the long term home he would thrive in.

If you or anyone you know has an opening in their homes for a sweet new cat, please reach out for more information and we’d get you in touch with the current foster.

Tooth brushing basics going well! With cats, “everything counts” sometimes means licking the toothpaste off a brush with an occasional nip to the bristles. A few weeks of this and maybe she’d tolerate a couple good intentional swipes of the brush itself 😃 see more dental options for cats here:

As wonderful as technology is, it’s often a curse. Internet, phones, and medical server are down currently and we can’t take calls or med refills today. 😔

Another surgery fix from our team today. Dr Tyler Brzozowski, our newest addition to the Westside family, is performing a “purse string” surgery on a re**al prolapse today.

Sometimes this happens due to things like constipation, parasites, nerve weakness, or even severe a**l gland impactions leading to straining to p**p and a prolapse pf the a**l tissue.

The pursestring holds this tissue in to a proper (smaller) diameter for a few days or sometimes even a few weeks while the tissue heals. We often have to put these patients on stool softeners and pain medication, sometimes antibiotics, and treat any underlying conditions. With the surger, treatments, some rest, this pup should be good as new by the time the suture is removed!

Thank you Dr Brzozowski 😻👏👨‍⚕️

(pronounced Burr-zow-ski for all those calling in for appointments in the future 😊)

Splash safely! Avoid strong currents and watch for fatigue as pups enjoy the water.

Our lobby is sadly HOT due to a broken AC motor but our AC company is working on it as we speak… until the fix though,
feel free to check in, but then stay cool in your cars and we’ll come curbside to bring you into the rooms when ready 😓😓😓

Let's celebrate the red, white, and woof alongside our furry friends. Wishing you a day filled with joy, safety, and lots of tail wags! 🇺🇸

In celebration of Juneteenth, Freedom Day, we will be closed Wednesday, June 19, and are excited to give this day back to our hospital family as our country commemorates the momentous step June 19, 1865 took towards true equality across our nation.

The core values of progressive care and empathy that our staff embodies while treating your pets, directly align with the continued pursuit of equity and equality in our communities.

We hope this day can serve as a celebration of our nation’s successes, as well as a reflection of the work that needs to be done. We are proud of our hospital’s inclusive culture, and how we’ve seen kindness and consideration become the norm throughout the vast majority of our days both inside and outside of the exam room.

We will resume our normal hours on Thursday, June 20 at 8 AM

To support an amazing cause, we’ll be closed tomorrow, Saturday 6/1, to get muddy against breast cancer!

Our incredible team at WSVH decided to band together for this years MudGirl run at Pocono Raceway with their shirts reminding you to “Get those puppies checked!”

Come out to the raceway in support of this cause if you can, but even if not, remind those you love to be aware of breast cancer screenings and keep an eye out for some great shots of our inspiring team of 💪 techs and doctors from the race!

One of the big reasons we advise year round broad spectrum worm prevention with a monthly heartworm preventative such as interceptor plus (our preferred product since it hits five of the worms we worry about instead of just three like some other products)

Happy Veterinary Reception Week!

Our “receptionists” are so much more too… they are more accurately client care extraordinaires in every way, patiently handling everything between healthy puppy/kitten calls to dire emergencies and everything in between.

They’re on the line with our clients through the best and worst days. They are the smiling faces to greet you each day, handling 100s of emails and text messages each day to make sure our clients and patients are directed to the right part of the hospital. We wouldn’t be the 5-star team we strive to be without them!

Thank you to all of our customer service team for the incredible work they do 🤗

Veterinary Receptionist Week is celebrated April 23 - 29, 2023.

We are open today for refills and messaging purposes but do not have a doctor on site to take in appointments

Any urgent cases should seek attention at NVRH or if their wait times are too long for a particular emergency, call EPVMC 610-904-1776 or VCVREC at 610-435-1553.

We apologize for this interruption in our availability and will resume our normal hours this Monday

We’re running under the weather today 🤒

We’ve had more than a few call offs today, so please be patient as we keep up with in house appointments and urgent care visits. Please only call in refills if you absolutely must for an emergency medication and allow an extra day for callbacks for non-life threatening questions and care.

We value your support. Sometimes even with plenty of staff, when family illness and emergencies coallesce all at the same time, it’s hard to plan these days out ❤️‍🩹
