Happy Meet the Staff Monday!

This week Abbi is in the spotlight!

Abbi Koehn was born in Newton, Kansas. She spent the majority of her childhood playing on various soccer teams and participating in 4H events with her horses. She moved to Washington state for her high school years with her family and while there shifted her focus more to soccer. She found her way back to Kansas on a soccer scholarship and got a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing from Central Christian College.

She then decided to switch career paths and moved to Nashville, Tennessee where she started working as a veterinary assistant. After missing home, she moved back to Kansas and has been at Spur Ridge for almost two years. Her free time is mostly consumed by her two labs, Gunner and Moose, who tend to be very high energy dogs that enjoy road trips, lake days, and the occasional pup-cup. She also just recently bought a house and is now officially a resident of Marion!

Breah and her good friend are also producers of many Central KS barrel racing jackpots year-round. On occasion, she will participate in some trail rides, show events and parades with her Friesian horse Tyshar.

Happy Meet the Staff Monday! For the next several weeks we will be highlighting a member of our staff so you can get to know your vet staff. So be on the lookout!

This week’s spotlight is Dr. Kraus!

Dr. Brendan Kraus was born and raised on a farm and ranch east of Marion.

He founded the practice in 2004 in Florence, KS and built the current facility in 2009. With a focus on high-level care, value, and customer service, the practice has steadily expanded to a hospital that is known throughout the region. Dr. Kraus continues to enjoy pushing the field of mixed animal practice forward, and looking for new ways to serve the practice’s clientele. When not at the practice, he enjoys hiking the National Parks, working on projects at home, and going to kid’s sporting events.

‼️LOOKING FOR LOVING HOMES‼️

These two pups are needing new, loving families. Coco is a German Shepherd-Black Lab Mix. She weighs just over 60 lbs. She’s a strong dog that loves to jump and run! She really needs a farm or large yard that allows her to get energy out. She’s incredibly high energy but loves her snuggles and attention. She knows how to sit, wait, and back up. How well she does them comes into question when there is food around 😂 but with high energy parents and room to play she could be great addition to any family!

Oliver is an older beagle! He loves to lounge and beg for attention. He really enjoys going on long walks. He's low maintenance but loves to be right next to you when you're eating a snack 🤪 Oliver weighs about 34 lbs but every pound is easy to love!

If you are interested please contact Avery Unruh. His phone number is (620) 877-0184

📣 Attention Dog Owners! 📣

We’ve heard through the grapevine that giving one chewable once a month would be more convenient, so we provided a solution! We are now carrying NexgardPLUS. It is a monthly chewable tablet that is meant for the prevention of fleas, ticks, some common intestinal parasites, and yes, even heartworms! Stop by the clinic and pick up a box today!

DOG days of summer! Is it fall yet!?
Temperatures and heat indexes that are well over 100 degrees mean we need to pay extra attention to the time our pets spend outside. Keep these things in mind the next couple weeks and hopefully we’ll see cooler temps soon!

-Exercise pets primarily in the morning before heat and humidity climbs in the middle of the day.
-Water and swimming pools are a great way for dogs to be able to lower their body temp and stay cool.
-Avoid poorly ventilated and enclosed areas at all costs, alone in parked cars even if the vehicle is running is a no-no!
-When they need to take potty breaks or spend time outside always allow access to shaded areas that still catch a breeze and fresh cool water at all times
-Brachycephalic (short-nose/airway) breeds like pugs, bulldogs, boxers etc can be MUCH more susceptible to the effects of heat stress!!

Concerned your dog may have gotten a little too hot? Things to pay attention to and what to do about it:

-Excessive panting, drooling, visible tiredness, dry nose, dizziness or weakness, muscle tremors, vomiting/diarrhea, and lack of regular urinations could be signs your dog is facing heat exhaustion.
-Immediately move them to a cool area in front of a fan if possible
-Get them wet with cool water but not cold, we want to cool them off over a 10–15-minute time span
-Provide cool fresh water to drink
-Normal gum color for a dog should be pink. Bright red, purple, grey or blue are emergencies!
-If able you can take a re**al or armpit temperature on your pet, normal is less than 102.5 and >105 is an emergency and attempts at cooling need to decrease hyperthermia by several degrees within 10 minutes and if that is not the case definitely call us!

Please call us immediately for assistance if your dog does not seem to be cooling off or if weakness, dizziness, panting or other symptoms are not resolving. Hopefully these tips will help you keep your pets cool on these miserable hot days!

Be sure to call and get scheduled!

🐴Attention Equine Owners!
Spur Ridge Vet Hospital will be hosting an Equine Gastroscopy day on September 6th. Dr. Weaver with Boehringer Ingelheim will be coming to set up and do the procedure. We are looking for a handful of clients with horses that may be underperforming or showing signs of stomach ulcers. Stomach ulcers can be caused by many different things but stress, diet or even long term medication can be a trigger, as ulcers are very common in horses. Some signs of stomach ulcers may include recurrent colic, body condition loss, performance issues and attitude changes. If you are concerned about your horse having stomach ulcers and are interested in getting them scoped and treated if needed, please call us today for more information.

‼️New Service Offering‼️
Congratulations to Dr. Cox for recently completing certification to perform PennHIP studies for hip dysplasia and hip arthritis screening for dogs.
The PennHIP organization is a nationally recongnized evaluation process for determining a dog’s risk of hip dysplasia and/or hip arthritis by using X-ray imaging. These images are taken while the dog is under anesthesia to ensure that they are still and precise. It is considered the most effective hip screening tool available for dogs. The evaluation to detect impending issues can be done in puppies as young as 16 weeks of age but can benefit dogs of any age, breed or size. Hip dysplasia is a hereditary trait that can be passed down to offspring which makes the PennHIP screening evaluation very beneficial for breeding dogs.

More information can also be found on the Antech Imaging Services website at https://info.antechimagingservices.com/our-services/.
Please let us know if you have any questions or interest in the PennHIP screening, and how it may be beneficial for your dog.
