We are thrilled to introduce our newest doctor, Dr. Sprayberry! 🐾

Dr. Sprayberry has a lifelong passion for animals and veterinary medicine. She graduated from The Pennsylvania State University in 2018 and earned her veterinary degree from The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 2022. She has since practiced emergency medicine at a busy 24/7 emergency/specialty hospital.

She has a special interest in clinical pathology, infectious disease, and respiratory disease. Inspired by the loss of her beloved Golden Retriever, Allie, Dr. Sprayberry is dedicated to end-of-life/palliative and geriatric care.

A new Delaware resident, she lives with her two former-feral orange cats, Marcus Aurelius and Julius Caesar. In her free time, she enjoys reading sci-fi and fantasy, playing video games and tabletop RPGs, learning about history, and trying new foods.

Keep those fur babies safe in this current heat advisory! 🥵

Stay Safe in the Heat! 🔥🐾

Attention, pet owners! A heat advisory is currently in effect for our area. Here are some important safety tips to keep your furry friends safe and prevent heat stroke:

🔥 Keep Hydrated: Ensure your pets have access to plenty of fresh, cool water at all times. 💧
🔥 Stay Indoors: Limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours (10 AM - 4 PM). Keep pets in air-conditioned or well-ventilated areas. 🏠
🔥 Never Leave Pets in Cars: Even with windows cracked, temperatures inside a car can quickly become deadly. 🚗❌
🔥 Cool Shaded Areas: If your pet must be outside, make sure they have access to shaded areas and a cool resting place. 🌳
🔥 Watch for Signs of Heat Stroke: Symptoms include excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, weakness, and collapse. If you notice any of these signs, seek veterinary care immediately. 🚨
🔥 Avoid Hot Pavement: Hot asphalt can burn your pet's paws. Walk your dog during cooler parts of the day and check the pavement temperature with your hand. 🐾

Remember, if you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stroke, act quickly and contact your veterinarian or an emergency/urgent care veterinary clinic immediately.

Stay safe and keep cool! ❤️🐾
