Holy Cow! This doesn’t even include the 17 bags of dog food, boxes of wet cat food, canned vegetables, batteries, and donations that just came in from Auburn. Clients have brought cases and cases of water and baby wipes. Our community is amazing. Our heart is full! And so are the vehicles going to NC on Friday!

Thank you for the top and bottom of our hearts ❤️.

🥰🥰 EDITH 🥰🥰

This sweet girl came in for bilateral a**l gland removal due to chronic infections. She was the SWEETEST Basset Hound! And her ears were the perfect length - although they still get into her water bowl a touch.

This sweet girl is wearing some pants so she doesn’t scoot her bum on the floor and aggravate her incisions. She is being the best girl and wearing the cone when mom can’t have her eyes in her!

We just want to smoosh your face with kisses, Edith! Thank you for being so wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️

We hope that this is how dogs feel when they’re recovered from their surgeries with us. We hope they’re smitten and ready to chase their ball again!

Once a therapy dog, always a therapy dog!

Guinness came in to see us because he tore his other ACL. We did his left side in 2022. He was able to get back to his therapy work, but after tearing his second side, he’s been out of commission again.

Yesterday, we did his right side, but not until he sat on Allie and forced his love upon her. It wasn’t hard for us to all fall in love with him and get some snuggles!

Please join us in sending healing vibes and well wishes to Guinness as he goes through the healing process again!! He can’t wait to get back to the children’s hospital and do his therapy work. ❤️

We love you Guinness!

Not only are you the best Doodle ever, but you also have on the perfect color collar and leash! So many of the staff members love that dark forrest green color!!

Max is here today to have surgery for abdominal cyst removal. He is the SWEETEST boy, and he has the most boop-able snoot in the whole clinic today!!

Thank you for being the BESTEST boy Max!! We all love you so much!! ❤️

When you have one of THE cutest Brussels that we’ve ever seen, and everyone asks of the precious baby is sad because of their sad face, YOU make a frowny face all day so your patient is in good company. Silly everyone, Brussels ARE smiling. It’s just upside down! 🙃

This darling Louie came to see us for a hip surgery. He will be continuing to visit us for rehab, and we are so thankful for the extra chances to make him feel better and snuggle him!

Nicole took care of this sweet man, and made sure he never felt alone with his upside down smile 🙃.

Thank you for being perfect, Louie! 🥰

Our snow removal crew consisting of Dr. Callie, her daughter Blakelee, and their puppy Mya tried their hardest, but they weren't able to clear the roads enough to open the hospital tomorrow (1/16/23). We are all loving the snow, but we are ready to get back to helping all of your fur-babies as soon as possible! Stay safe and warm, and enjoy your extra puppy snuggles!

Dr. Callie Blackford and daughter Blakelee have been to the clinic to check the conditions, and it indeed snowed! As we posted earlier, the clinic is closed today, and we will continue to monitor conditions for tomorrow as the snow continues to fall, and the forecast is for more cold weather.

If you have questions, please feel free to email, message, or call and leave a voicemail!

Happy snow day!

Sweet Riley is working her way through her recovery after TPLO surgery! She is on session 8 of her rehab package, and she is such a good girl when she comes to visit! One of her training sessions today included underwater treadmill, with the addition of pretty pool noodles to make sure she doesn’t cheat at the task!

You’re doing so amazing, sweet girl! We sure love spending time with you! 💙💛💙❤️

When one of your favorite patient comes in with their Christmas sweater on, you have to take a photo!! ❤️❤️

Sweet baby Leo and his nurse fell in love with each other when he came in for bilateral MPL surgery. His nurse was almost as happy as his mom to hear the Christmas news, he’s healed!! 🎄 ❤️ 🎄

We are so happy you’re doing well, Leo!! Merry Christmas!! 🎁🎄 ❤️

You are ONLY as regal as your name.

Any guesses?

It’s fantastic…..

THIS is Mr. MooBoy, Mayor of Mooville, maker of manicottis, Dr. Entomologist.

He’s KIND OF a big deal! 😍

He came in to see Dr. Callie for his luxating patellas, but he had been doing better, and he hadn’t been limping as much. Both Dr. Callie and the owner decided to wait until Mr. Moo is more clinical before jumping into surgery!

He was absolutely the best boy!!!! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

If you’re the cutest puppy ever, graduated from rehab, and got approved to return back to normal activity, raise your paws!! 🐾

Echo came in to see Dr. Callie Blackford back in September for MPL surgery. She came in yesterday for recheck x-rays, and she is healed! This little bundle of energy can slowly go back to normal activity!

She went through our rehab program and that really helped her maintain and gain muscle during her recovery. It also helped her little 7 month old puppy brain from going stir crazy while she was in recovery!

We are so excited for you to continue to grow up and be your wonderful self!!

Thank you for letting us take care of you, Echo! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy Thanksgiving week from our Blackford Vet family to yours.

Blakelee Jean, Dr. Callie's daughter, wants to remind everyone that the best thing to feed our dogs on Thanksgiving is their dog food, not people food!

Table scraps and things like turkey bones can make dogs sick, so keep the pups on their regular diets, and snuggle them for your post-turkey nap!

We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for our amazing clients. You believing in the power of our services means the world to us.

This Friday, Titan graduated from his rehab program. The girls in rehab are going to MISS him so much! He is a gentle and loving soul that has progressed unbelievable amounts since he first started coming to us!

We can’t thank him and his mother enough. She was SO generous in thanking the rehab girls. We will miss our weekly Titan time!! ❤️❤️❤️

Sweet little Leo came in on Monday for bilateral MPL surgery by Dr. Callie Blackford. His mom requested that his blanket from home be in his kennel with him, and he nestled right into it! Sometimes the familiar smells of home make our patients more comfortable, and we fully support that!

Leo is on the road to recovery and doing great! This picture was taken by one of the many of us that couldn’t resist his cuteness when we walked past him and gave him a quick snuggle and some love!

Get well soon sweetheart!! You’re too cute for words!

Sent some of our licensed technicians to Kentucky for continuing education at the surgery conference! These girls are always learning to apply nothing but the most up to date medicine and standards to our practice. We can’t wait to hear everything they’ve learned, and apply it!

Dr. Blackford's little girl Blakelee loves showing off our new equipment. Here she is modeling our DogPacer treadmill! Barks and all! And of course "I wanna put a dog on there!"

Sweet Charlie has FINALLY been able to be out playing in the snow. This sweet man came in to see Dr. Hodshon a few years ago. She fixed both of his knees, several months apart. And now he’s a new man living his BEST life! We love you Charlie B! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for being SUCH a good boy, Emmerson! You were a perfect gentleman for your IV catheter, did amazing for your TPLO, and woke up from anesthesia with the happiest tail ever!! We love you sweet boy!!

LOOK 👏🏼 AT 👏🏼 THIS 👏🏼 GIRL 👏🏼 GO !!! Remember Savannah from yesterday!? Her surgery was on Wednesday, and she’s following strict confinement and leash walks with her family. And look how amazing she’s walking on that surgery leg!! Of course, all dogs recovery at different rates. However, all TPLO surgery patients should be trying to put weight on their surgery leg within the first two weeks. Savannah decided she’d give it a go 4 days after surgery! Slow and steady wins the race. Slow, steady, short walks are the key to recovery! And following your home exercise plan. I’m so proud of you Savannah! I can’t wait to watch you slowly progress over the next seven weeks. ❤️ Keep up there good work, Mom and Dad!

Opal was very serious yesterday about how important it is to wear your cone. Today, Opal is serious about making sure she gets pet around the clock! EEP! She’s so precious we can hardly stand it! 🥰

Lulu looks great after her bilateral MPL surgery performed by Dr. Blackford! So glad you are back to prancing and showing off your hair bows! 🎀

Do you remember Ollie, the adorable Frenchie that broke his leg?? He came in for a recheck x-ray and he is healed! He looks fantastic! Can you tell what leg it was???? 😊

This little 6 pounds of manly man came in to see Dr. Hodshon. He was presented for reluctance to jump up on the couch. After some sedated radiographs, it turns out he has a torn ACL and a knee cap that doesn’t want to stay in place. That hasn’t slowed down his cuteness though!! ❤️

We love when our patients come to visit us! This sweet baby is using his leg EXCELLENT after his TPLO surgery. Mom shared with us his special talent.....he's a singer!!
