Pet Parents:
Here's a list of the Veterinary Emergency clinics in Wisconsin. There are 16 locations total, spanning the Fox Cities, Wausau, Eau Claire, Madison and Milwaukee areas.
As the summer comes along and there are more tourists bringing pets up North, it's best to be prepared as vet clinics keep getting busier.
Local ER centers sometimes get to capacity (Blue Pearl Appleton and Green Bay, Paw Health Network) and have no choice but to turn people away or recommend that you go to a location FURTHER AWAY.
None of us are happy about this situation but it's no one person's fault. There are just not enough veterinarians and veterinary support staff to accommodate everyone.
Be prepared if you have to travel - it sucks but it's todays reality if a pet needs urgent care.

We will be closing for the holiday weekend at 5p today, December 29th and will be back in the office Tuesday January 2nd at 8am. Have a safe and Happy New Year, we’ll see you all next year! 😊🎉

The calendar might say ‘December’, but the weather says ‘March’! That means you should STILL have your pet on and flea and tick preventatives!

💥It takes several DAYS of temperatures ⬇️below⬇️ 10 degrees Fahrenheit for ticks to die, and even then they can survive through a variety of ways💥

This means ticks (and fleas) are still very much alive and well and searching for their next meal - which might be your pet! Keep up those preventatives!!

12/22/2023

We will be closed Saturday, December 23rd through Monday, December 25th to allow our hardworking staff to spend time with their families.

We are open until 5pm today, December 22nd if you need any medication refills for your pets before the weekend.

We will be back in the office Tuesday, December 26th at 8am.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Rockwood! 🎄

Today is day 2 of National Veterinary Technician Week in Missouri
🦒🐁🦈🦜🦎🐖🐇🐫🦢🕷🐠

If you have ever brought your pet to the veterinarian, you have met a vet tech. When the dr orders tests or diagnostics or needs blood drawn, chances are likely it is not the doctor performing them, but a technician.

Veterinary technicians truly are jacks of all trades and masters of all!

👩‍⚕️🐕🐈🐎🐄🐍🐢🐬🐘🐒🦖
October 15-21 is National Veterinary Technician Week in Missouri.
🦒🐁🦈🦜🦎🐖🐇🐫🦢🕷🐠

This week, we will be providing some infographics about what vet techs are and what we do. To kick off NVTW, here is a BRIEF list of all of the duties a vet tech can do.

As a reminder, National Veterinary Technician Week should be reserved for celebrating veterinary technicians only, as other support staff have their own holidays and should be highlighted and celebrated individually. Please reconsider lumping everyone together for "staff appreciation week".

National Veterinary Technicians Week was started by the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) in 1993 and is celebrated the third week in October.

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month. The International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management (IVAPM) has proclaimed September as Animal Pain Awareness Month, and this coincides with human medicine’s Pain Awareness Month. Animals suffer from pain just like people do. Pain comes in many forms: surgical pain, arthritis and cancer related pain, just to name a few. Acute pain is obvious and distressing. Chronic pain can be subtle, and masked as “getting old” or “slowing down.” Old age is not a disease, but pain is. There are many options to treat the various causes of pain in animals including pain medications, physical rehabilitation, acupuncture, laser therapy, and therapeutic massage.

Its ! It's easy to make excuses to not bring your feline friend to the vet - they don't like to leave the comfort of home! The reality is kitties need health/wellness care just like any other pet.

Check the Chip Day was created by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and is recognized annually on August 15th. Check the Chip Day serves as reminders to pet owners to not only have their pet microchipped, but to keep the registration information up-to-date as well! Is your pet's microchip information up to date?
