Say hello to Fenneco! Several weeks ago, her Mom noticed one of her sewing needles was missing and looked everywhere. It was nowhere to be found; it simply vanished. And though she didn't see her swallow it, Fenneco's Mom had a sneaky suspicion she'd ingested it. Sure enough, radiographs performed at the emergency vet confirmed little Fenneco swallowed the needle and she was referred for surgery! (Check out the radiographs!)

Dr. Ayre was able to skillfully remove the needle and little Fenneco spent the holidays recovering with her family. Her Mom says, "This was definitely a scary and unexpected experience and I feel very grateful and lucky that she is okay." Fenneco is back to doing her favorite things like cuddling with her humans, watching birds (through the window or on her ipad), and playing in/running and jumping onto/hiding under packing paper.

Huge shout out to Fenneco's paw-rents for being so caring, loving, and patient with their little mischievous kitty!

Gentle reminder that this could happen to anyone! Please keep needles, string, floss, hair ties, and other small items cats can eat away from them!

WARNING: The photos below have the ability to make you squeal with happiness! Viewer discretion advised.

Say hello to Emmy and her Mama, who presented in the cutest festive outfit several weeks ago! Emmy had a perineal hernia repaired with Dr. Lazar and returned to have her sutures removed a week ago! Mom and Dad say she's recovered very well and is excited to get back to a cone-free life!

Good morning and happy New Year to all! Our very first 2025 post is dedicated to Chevy! This sweet boy went missing for several weeks in November and when he was found, it was evident he had a broken leg. His parents were given several options, including euthanasia, but ultimately decided to have his leg amputated.

Mom says, "We were having a very difficult time when we called you guys and I can’t say enough of how understanding and caring the whole team was. You guys and your ability to work on price saved his life as financially we weren’t gonna be able to afford it at other locations."

Chevy had an uneventful surgery and recovered well. He's been enjoying that indoor cat lifestyle, too! Mom lovingly says, "His favs are already cuddles, biting our feet while we sleep, begging for food with the dogs, and his new cat tower he got for Christmas!"

We hope you enjoy these photos as much as Chevy's surgical team did!

We hope all of our furry and non-furry friends alike got to enjoy yesterday's wonderful festivities! Happy Thursday, dear friends!

This brave boy is Scooter (pictured with Nurse Kaylin). About a year ago, his human found out he had a small stone that was causing some urinary issues. At first, a diet change was recommended to see if this would potentially help dissolve the stone but when recheck radiographs confirmed it wasn't helping, a cystotomy surgery was highly recommended. Dr. Brehm skillfully removed the stone several weeks ago (pictured next to a quarter) and Scooter has recovered remarkably well!

Happy Friday, friends. Today, we want to share the story of sweet Pepper, who broke her leg while playing with her siblings. Before the accident, she was in training to become an emotional support pet for her Dad, a military veteran who found comfort in her presence. "She's helping me get out of my shell," he said, his love for her clear.

When the cost of surgery was presented, Pepper's Dad was heartbroken to learn he couldn't afford the full amount, leaving him in a tough spot. Thankfully, our team was able to offer assistance through Sashi's Fund, a program that helps provide financial relief for necessary veterinary care.

Today, Pepper came in to have her sutures removed, and though she’s still healing, her journey to recovery will be long. Despite this, we know she will eventually be back to her playful self! We’re deeply grateful to Pepper’s family for their dedication to her care during this challenging time.

It might be a chilly day outside but Dr. Sands and Dr. Bearden are pretty happy to be cuddling this extra floofy kitten! Happy Wednesday, folks!

On this soggy Monday, we wanted to introduce you to Hey Siri! Several weeks ago, her Mama rushed her to urgent care after she began vomiting, refusing to eat, and losing weight. After numerous tests and scans, it was believed Hey Siri had pyometra, a life-threatening infection of the uterus. Her Mama was told the emergency surgery would cost $6K-$10K; a sum she couldn’t afford. "I was considering having to put her down," Hey Siri's Mama told us. Thankfully, she was given Anicira's information.

During surgery, Dr. Ayre discovered Hey Siri's problems were actually being caused by a foreign object that had gotten stuck! Mom says, "He saved Siri's life. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions, and with so much care and compassion." Despite the successful surgery, Hey Siri wouldn't be out of the woods for days. Dr. Ayre explained that she needed to be hospitalized to ensure she continued to improve.

After two days of hospitalization, Hey Siri's Mama explained to the front desk she was unable to afford the continued care. So, Missy, one of our dedicated CSR's jumped in with an offer to use Sashi's Fund - a program that provides pet parents with financial assistance for any medically necessary veterinary care.

"It has been nothing but a blessing to have Siri cared for by the staff at Anicira, and for the excellent top-notch care provided. And for being able to receive Sashi's Fund, which ultimately was the reason her life was saved." We are beyond thrilled to report Hey Siri is doing well! Her Mama says her favorite thing to do is cuddle and we bet she's the best cuddle buddy ever!

This sweet boy is Carlos who has a history of ear infections. Several weeks ago, Dr. Ayre repaired an aural hematoma. That's a fancy term for a collection of blood that forms in a pet's ear flap, sometimes caused by excessive scratching or head shaking potentially due to trauma, infection, etc.

At his recheck appointment today, Mom said he's recovered well. He also had his sutures removed and spent some time cuddling with his nurse, Tyera.

This handsome fella is Casper and his Nurse Ari. Casper came in last week for his very first puppy exam and received a FREE vaccine thanks to the Petco Love program!

Petco Love's commitment to supporting local communities is evident in its mission to provide free vaccines to pets in need. Through its extensive network of partners and outreach initiatives, Petco Love aims to reduce barriers to pet healthcare, ensuring that more pets have access to the vital protection offered by vaccines. By offering free vaccines, Petco Love helps prevent the spread of diseases such as rabies, parvovirus, and distemper, which can have serious consequences for both pets and public health. This initiative is a testament to Petco Love's deep-rooted belief in the importance of community care and the well-being of animals everywhere.

Say hello to Carbon, a 6 years young Peruvian Inca Orchid pup! His paw-rents noticed he was producing very small amounts of urine and was crying when attempting to p*e. Radiographs at another hospital confirmed bladder and urethral stones and he was referred for surgery. Carbon was also neutered the same day!

His Mom says, "Thank you so much for your helping Carbon! He was not himself with the bladder stones, in pain and crying while all crouched up but he is back to himself energized and full of life. Thank you team at Anicira for your skills and professionalism with affordable services."

12/04/2024

Say hi to Tiny! His humans had been keeping an eye on a perianal mass since early 2023. Recently, they started to notice it was getting larger and made the decision to have it surgically removed. During this procedure, Tiny was also neutered!

Mom says, "He's a velcro pup and loves his human. He's back to his beastly eating habits and yap yap. He also enjoys belly rubs, fashion, and his usual walks with his locomotive arms and legs. For such a small dog, he's definitely a big dog at heart. The king of the house is back! Thank you Anicira for taking wonderful care of him!"

We are thrilled to hear Tiny is back to his old shenanigans!

Several weeks ago, this ball of energy bounced into Anicira's lobby. The front desk staff thought he was here for a wellness exam but quickly learned he was presenting for emergency surgery.

Chip's parents brought him to an ER earlier in the week because they believed he'd ingested part of their window! Sure enough, radiographs showed a metallic object and he was referred for surgery. Dr. Brehm was skillfully able to remove the object (a metal handle) and little Chip recovered well at home. He had his follow-up appointment last week and was giving out kisses left and right!

11/22/2024

Yearly wellness exams for your furry best friends are the perfect time to ask your vet if they need a dental cleaning! By doing a quick but thorough examination of their mouth, your vet will be able to tell you how much plaque they have as well as point out any potentially diseased or broken teeth that should be removed.

Say hello to Birdie! This sweet boy was here for his dental procedure a month ago. He had three extractions and recovered well from the surgery!

11/20/2024

At 15 years of age, Princess was our oldest patient several weeks ago! But her age sure didn't stop her from barking out a few orders for cuddles and chin scratches. During her mass removal procedure, she was also spayed! Princess recovered very well, without complications, and returned yesterday to have her sutures removed!

Reminiscing fondly at discharge, Princess' Dad said, "She used to fit in the palm of my hand when I got her at 6 weeks old." 15 years is a long time to have a best friend by your side and we wish Princess and her family many more to come!

11/18/2024

Three weeks ago, a very charming and sophisticated Frickle was carried into our lobby, bow-tie proudly on display. "He's here for dental surgery," his Mama told the front desk. Little Frickle was quite nervous so he spent most of the morning cuddled in Brett's arms before his dental procedure.

This brave boy had 18 teeth extracted that day and still went home happy as can be!

Weight Loss for Pets!

Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day! Unfortunately, it's frequently hard to admit that as their parents, sometimes WE are the reason our four-legged companions are overweight. We may overfeed them, provide too many treats, give them people food, and feed table scraps that are much too rich and fatty for them to properly digest. A recent study states a single ounce of cheddar cheese for a 20-pound dog is the equivalent of 1 and 1/2 hamburgers for a human! Overweight pets are more prone to arthritis, heart disease and diabetes. As hard as it may be, remember, food does NOT equal love! Typically, the food you purchase will have an amount of food your pet should get based on their weight on the back of the bag. If you're ever unsure or need further direction, please reach out to your primary care vet for a better understanding. And if your vet has already told you little Fluffy needs to lose some weight, here are some suggestions from a few members of our team! (Disclaimer: Some pets have weight gain due to medical concerns. If you are ever unsure or have questions, please reach out to your primary care vet!)

Exams, vaccines, tests, food, medications, pet sitters, treats and toys, OH MY! Have you ever wondered how much it costs to care for one pet over their lifetime? (Take a seat, we don’t want to knock you off your feet with these numbers!) In Virginia… ✨ The average expense for a puppy is $1,050 ✨ The annual expense is $2,568 ✨ LIFETIME expense is $29, 300 Virginia is ranked #15 for the MOST expensive states for pet care costs! So, PLEASE, adopt responsibly! Having pets comes with monthly expenses and daily responsibilities, for 10-15 years! And if you’re ever in need, Anicira has THREE locations (two in VA and one in CA), that provide affordable care for routine and unexpected expenses!

SAVE THE DATE! Join us for the Celebration of Pets Festival! We'll have live music, food trucks, face painting, pie eating contest for dogs and so much more! Proceeds from this event benefit sick and injured pets. $10/person, kids 12 and under are FREE! When: Saturday, September 14th from 11am-4pm Where: Shenandoah Valley Farm & Inn, 882 Bloomer Springs Rd, McGaheysville, VA 22840 Click on the link below for more information! https://anicira.org/locations/pets-festival/
