Ever wonder what’s making your pet’s ears so itchy? Meet the possible culprit—ear mites! These tiny parasites can cause major irritation, leading to scratching, head shaking, and discomfort.
If your pet has itchy ears or dark debris inside, don’t wait—ear mites are highly contagious and can lead to infections if left untreated. Give us a call, and we’ll help get those ears mite-free!
Twister the gorgeous Eclectus parrot, visited Dr. George and Kylie for a beak and nail trim today!
🦜 Why is beak and nail care important?
Parrots like Twister rely on their beaks for eating, climbing, and playing, while healthy nails help them grip perches and move comfortably. Regular trims prevent overgrowth, which can cause discomfort or even health issues.
🐦 Did you know?
Parrot beaks grow continuously, so natural wear through chewing and foraging is essential. However, when that's not enough, our team is here to help!

Hope is visiting us for rehab after a leg injury, and she’s a perfect example of how rehabilitation can help pets regain mobility and confidence. 🐾💪
Did you know? Physical therapy for pets can include exercises, massage, and other techniques to improve strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. It's not just for injuries—rehab can benefit senior pets or those with chronic conditions, too!
Hope is doing wonderfully, and we’re so proud of her progress. If you’ve ever wondered how rehab could help your furry friend, we’re happy to answer your questions.

🎃🐾 Halloween Safety for Pets! 🐾🎃
With Halloween tomorrow (crazy, right?!), let’s keep our furry friends safe! Keep candy out of reach, especially chocolate, which is toxic to pets. If dressing them up, ensure costumes fit well and supervise them. Create a quiet space for anxious pets as trick-or-treaters come and go. Remember to update ID tags or microchips, and avoid harmful decorations and glow sticks.

✨It's Day Two of Tech Week here at Green Prairie!✨
Another shout out to highlight more of our amazing employes and what they do! In fact, what do they do? Here's a little insight on their responsibilities and roles inside the clinics 😀
They play a crucial role in supporting veterinarians and ensuring the well-being of animals in multiple ways. Techs assist in the examination and treatment of animals, providing compassionate care, and educate our pet owners about animal care, treatment plans, and preventative measures! 🐾
Not only regular exams, but they also prepare animals for surgery, administer anesthesia, and monitor patients during procedures. Afterwards, they ensure that medical equipment is cleaned, sterilized, and properly maintained for future patients 🐶🐱
