It’s getting HOT already, folks!
Please be cautious of leaving your pets outside for longer than ten minute increments, especially if they are unattended.
If your pet displays any signs of confusion, excessive panting, imbalanced walking or falling over, do not wait! Load them into the vehicle and call us, or Middle Georgia Veterinary Emergency Center on the way.

We love us some CocoNut!! She is one of the sweetest, best patients ever. She has quite a few medical issues that require her to be seen by Dr. Stephanie more often than normal, but she is always so happy when she comes in. What a trooper, we always look forward to a visit by her🐶🥰

Our amazing Anna departs from us at BJAH today to begin a new adventure. We are so incredibly grateful to have been able to work with, learn from and maybe even laugh at (just a little) her. Her passion for animal care and wellbeing is something to strive for in our field, and anyone who talks with Anna can see it clearly. We will undoubtedly miss seeing her every day, and we wish her all of the best on her new journey. Sunny skies and beautiful days ahead, Anna! ❤️☀️🌿

If we send your animal home with an e-collar, it is MEANT TO STAY ON THE ANIMAL.
“But, he doesn’t LIKE it!”
That’s what additional pain medication + medical management is for.
We aren’t kidding, folks!

Has your pet ever had to undergo a procedure requiring sedation? It’s common to have questions and concerns about the safety of sedation, and while there’s a risk with any procedure, sedation can be an important part of any veterinary treatment plan. Without sedation, moving forward with procedures when your pet is distressed can create long-lasting, negative effects, and increase fear, stress, and anxiety for the next appointment. This can make future medical care difficult and have negative effects on your pet’s health.

Taking your dog for a walk is so much more than exercise, it's beneficial for their overall health too. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/JKH4koFfLhY5er2a/?mibextid=qi2Omg

Shake it…shake it off…

A recent study by two researchers in France looked at sniffing, pulse rate, and leash length on walks. Sixty-one dogs were taken on three separate walks, five minutes each walk, once with a 1.5m leash, once with a 5m leash, and once without a leash at all (walk order was randomized for each dog). Off-leash dogs sniffed the most, more than 3x as long as the dogs on short leashes. Dogs on long leashes spent nearly as much time as unleashed dogs sniffing, almost 3x as long as dogs on short leashes.

This study also found that sniffing resulted in lowered pulse rates, and the more intensely they sniffed, the more their pulse rates lowered. Pulse rate was also lowered when dogs “shook off” during walks on all leash lengths. The “shake off” behavior was often seen when the dog’s pulse rate was particularly high.

We are very excited and proud to offer aquamation services through Petamorphosis as an after-care option for our beloved patients. Aquamation by Petamorphosis is a family owned, woman run, small business in Macon that aims to provide an environmentally friendly alternative to fire cremation for pet parents.

Offering Aquamation by Petamorphosis serves as a way to honor the journey taken with our sweet fur family, and to memorialize the bond we had with them.

Aquamation is a flameless after-care process that utilizes water instead of fire. This creates over 90% energy savings when compared to flame-based cremation.

There are no fossil fuels burned in the Aquamation process.
This means there are NO greenhouse gases or direct emissions created by Aquamation.

This process also allows for 20% more ashes to be returned to the family versus that of fire cremation.

Aquamation by Petamorphosis offers beautiful shadow boxes, nose and paw prints, and decorative pieces to commemorate and honor our precious pets.

Petamorphosis is bringing an alternative form of cremation to Middle Ga. New Aquamation facility in Georgia . Water cremation
