in personalized care; client education is heavily emphasized. We want to be able to answer clients' questions to help them better care for their pets.

Hello Facebook followers! In an effort to be transparent and totally open with our clients and patients please read the following:

The veterinary profession has just received an "informational Letter" (not a warning or a recall) from the FDA concerning potential side effects of an injectable osteoarthritic pain controlling product named Librela.
We at VVAH have been utilizing Librela conservatively over the past 2 years as a last choice treatment or a treatment when owners can not give oral medication for whatever reason, to try and control the pain caused by osteoarthritis primarily in the rear quarters (hip and knee). It has served well when other medication (anti-inflammatory medications such as Carprofen, Previcox and others) cease to help these dogs ambulate and most of our feedback from owners has been very positive. The only negative feedback that we have received thus far has been limited to comments such as "it did not seem to help much or at all". Our policy has been to try two consecutive months treatment and if there is no observable benefit then we discontinue. The FDA does not state whether there is a dosage frequency or a length of treatment period associated with the side effects (in other words, were side effects seen on the first administration of Librela or is it after 2,3 or several administrations before side effects were encountered.).
We will continue to monitor the FDA findings and reported findings by other independent groups (not necessarily those found by the company Zoetis) to evaluate whether we should continue to use the the treatment in cases where nothing else is working.
If you have any questions please watch for any updates on our FB page. If you think there has been any side effects in your pet (after the shots began) let us know as we can report these incidences to the FDA and Zoetis.
As always, we want to treat your pet like it is our own and we will do our best to fine tune this treatments usage to minimize any possible negative side effects.
If you have any positive or negative feedback please let us know.

Dr. Mike Hord

Good morning from Val Verde Animal Hospital. We are going to be open this morning until noon. Neighborhood streets are not good but most major streets are wet except in a few of the turning lanes. Please give us a call to reschedule appointments if you don’t wish to risk it today. Totally Understandable. We may be a bit understaffed today so have patience with us on the phones🤗

National Pit Bull Day, celebrated annually on the last Saturday of October, is a special day dedicated to advocating for and changing the perception of pit bulls. Started in 2007 by Bless The Bullys, a non-profit rescue organization based in Tennessee, National Pit Bull Day aims to increase positive conversations and education about these lovable yet misunderstood dogs. As a proud pit bull owner, or someone who supports this breed, there are many fun and meaningful ways to celebrate this day with your furry friend.

Though the weather in the morning, Saturday, will still be something to reckon with, I think the roads will be somewhat improved. After Carol (my amazing wife) cleared our driveway for the third time I was able to make a run to the clinic and check on and feed our starving (hangry) clinic cats. The only difficulties encountered were in our neighborhood and at the 96th and Giles intersection. Neighborhood was drifting snow, 96th & Giles was ice. We may get another little burst of snow overnight that may be up to 1 more inch. Not a big deal without the wind. But this may add to the ground blizzard conditions that may develop. If I find that the conditions have not improved I will change the clinic outgoing message to reflect that - so call prior to coming in tomorrow, 402-932-6192. Dr. Hord
