Please note: Yes, the trees on the hospital property were cut down by PGE contractors.

Please also note: This is still private property. Please do not take the wood.

We will be watching the cameras for those that are taking things that do not belong to them. And yes, that includes you in the white RAV-4.

Thanks.

Hoping to find the owners for these two cuties - they were found by Powellton, are microchipped by the owner and phone number on file don't seem to match what we can find.

Again. A kitten dumped in a sealed box in front of the hospital again.

Please stop. That's 13 kittens and 1 mama that we've had to provide care for (which of course we will but that's not the point).

And whomever dumped this baby? We hope you enjoy the ringworm that this kitten is infested with.

Well. The cat distribution system is at work. A beautiful mama and 6 gorgeous kittens left in a carrier outside the hospital - we found them this morning. We've been closed since Wednesday as Dr. Bremner, Rachel and Megan were at a continuing education event last week, so we hope they haven't been there very long.

We will make sure these kittens and mama get all the proper care they need and make sure they are adopted to good homes.

In the meantime, PLEASE don't dump kittens. Spay your female cats prior to 6 months of age, and keep them inside, especially if they aren't spayed. This is a completely preventable problem. We charge $220 for a cat spay. If you take a kitten into your household, make sure that you have the resources to take care of them.

We love the babies but we're not a rescue. We don't have charitable funds available to take care of them, so they will come out of all of our own pockets. We know that vet care can be a financial burden, but we can not keep the business going if we're providing free care. It's just not sustainable. So please - whether or not the person that's reading this is the one who dumped the mama and babies, please take care of your pets instead of dumping them and hoping for the best. This very well could've gone a very different way.

It is come to our attention that there may be some dangerous misinformation being spread, at least in one case, unfortunately by veterinary professionals, about Heartworm Disease.

Heartworm disease is a potentially life threatening parasitic infection that is transmitted by infected mosquitoes. The mosquito picks up a baby worm, known as microfilaria, by biting an infected dog. The microfilaria then after 10-14 days are infective, and when the mosquito then bites another dog or a cat, the microfilaria are deposited underneath the skin, and over a course of 5-7 months, the microfilaria go through a number of stages, eventually becoming adult worms of reproductive age. When these adult worms produce their own microfilaria, then the cycle continues.

The importance of year round heartworm prevention can not be understated. However, yearly, or in some cases twice yearly, heartworm testing is vitally important as well for several reasons.

One reason is that no medication is 100% effective. Think of it like birth control - it works really well almost all the time - but on rare occasion it doesn't. Another reason is that unfortunately compliance is also not always 100% - meaning that maybe you forgot to give your dog his or her heartworm pill this month, or gave it late, or your dog went outside immediately thereafter and threw the pill up. This give an opportunity for the microfilaria to "get through the cracks" in prevention. And yet another reason is that the heartworm prevention manufacturers guarantee their product - if you can show that you have been getting yearly heartworm tests for your dog, and that you have purchased an appropriate supply of a heartworm prevention from either your vet or an approved pharmacy, they will cover the costs of treatment. Treatment can be quite costly, plus the wear and tear of your dogs heart and lungs due to heartworm disease can be permanent.

We don't recommend yearly testing and prevention to make money - it would actually be much more profitable for us to treat a bunch of heartworm positive dogs. But we want to keep your pet healthy by PREVENTING heartworm disease, instead of TREATING heartworm disease.

Lastly, we don't make up these recommendations. These are the recommendations from the American Heartworm Society. They are the experts. We follow their recommendations. If your vet doesn't, I recommend asking why.

As many of you know, there is a new mobile vet on the Ridge. I have tried very hard to stay neutral on this topic as I believe very strongly that vet-bashing, especially by other vets, is deplorable.

However, when said mobile vet has the temerity to call and lecture me about one of MY patients that I rearranged my schedule to accommodate emergency surgery on, when she doesn’t have all the facts about the situation, I cannot let this stand.

So - I urge you - do your research. There are multiple complaints against this new mobile vet not only in California but in previous states she’s practiced in.

I care deeply about our community, my clients and their pets. That’s why I and my staff stayed here after the fire and during Covid while most of the other vets on the Ridge left. I don’t want any of you hurt or worse your pets hurt by someone who clearly feels they know better than me the needs of my patients.

Buyer beware.
