West Main Animal Clinic

Approx 2mo F dilute Torti found on Morris Blvd by Good Samaritan and brought here. FeLV/FIV (neg/neg). Pelvis displaced mildly and right hip out of place. Because she's young and she's a cat, I think she'll heal with cage rest and anti-inflammatory, but she'll need a foster to help. If any interest, please let me know ASAP. Local shelter has no fosters and limited finances to help at this time

When Jigsaw finds my chair and just can't get comfy! Have some class, sir!

Main roads are good, but there's still a lot of slush and ice on secondary roads (including West Main St). We will be closing today at 4pm, as it's supposed to be below freezing all day!

01/17/2024

It's amazing what a day of sun and elbow grease will do! As of now, we should be open tomorrow (Thursday, 1/18), depending on the black ice risk. We have not confirmed appointments; any openings will be used for urgent care to catch up from the snow days! Thanks for your patience and understanding! You guys are the best!

01/17/2024

We hope everyone is staying warm! I'm hearing that main roads are decent, but secondary and neighborhood roads are still treacherous. Feel free to share your snow pics, especially if they include your pets! I'll go first...

01/17/2024

Bitter cold and ice: West Main Animal Clinic will be closed again today. If the sun comes out, the intention is to get to the office to clear the parking lot for the remainder of the week of business as usual. Sorry for any inconvenience!

01/15/2024

Plan for TUESDAY, Jan. 16, 2024: thinking on it more and seeing the snow continue to fall, we have decided to CLOSE completely (TUESDAY, JAN 16). I don't think the roads will get better tomorrow, especially for those staff that have to drive in. It's cold here in New Market!

01/14/2024

UPDATE: As of now, roads are clear in town. We'll be open Monday morning and monitoring conditions closely!

Due to the forecast for significant snow and bitter cold, please call 423-586-0311 before you come to make sure we're open. Stay warm and stay safe!

01/11/2024

Just a friendly PSA that this weekend and especially next week will be bringing very cold temperatures, so be ready as best you can! Straw is the best insulator for outdoor dog and cat houses, but inside is even better! Stay safe and warm, friends!

WINTER WEATHER SAFETY - PREPARE NOW!

Severe winter cold weather is on the way. A hard freeze is coming to Texas next week.

Constable Mark Herman urges citizens to prepare their home and family for these temperatures.

Now is the time to prepare for potentially significant winter weather.

ATTENTION: there will be NO doctor's appointments available Thurs, 12/7, or Fri, 12/8, due to testing positive for COVID. While I'm not feeling ill beyond simple upper respiratory signs, there are staff members and clients that do NOT need to be exposed or take this stuff home to sensitive family members. There will be staff available to help. Sorry for any inconvenience!

12/03/2023

UPDATE: services Thurs 3pm at Emma Jarnigan cemetery (between us and MAH). Please wear purple (if you have it; if you don't, don't stress)

As many of you know, our longtime receptionist Whitney has been out since May for personal reasons. Last night, she passed away after a brave fight against cancer. She will be greatly missed. Please be patient this week, as schedules may change to allow us to attend services. In addition, while we appreciate any condolences, please refrain from using your visit to do so, as it's already difficult to think about and still do a good job. Thanks so much!

11/19/2023

West Main Animal Clinic will be CLOSED Thursday, 11/23, and Friday, 11/24, to spend the holiday with our families. We will reopen with normal business hours on Monday, 11/27.

Even though it's Saturday, it would be a miss to go unnoticed! Thanks to all those who have served in the Armed Forces! "All gave some, but some gave all"

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Parvovirus is rearing its ugly head again! We've diagnosed 4 cases in 3 days - all but 1 have been unvaccinated puppies (the 4th was between vaccines and experienced milder disease).

Canine parvovirus is an extremely contagious enteric virus that can cause loss of appetite, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, dehydration, sepsis, and rarely heart disease. The virus can only be killed by bleach and accelerated hydrogen peroxide (i.e. Rescue), and it can live in the soil for up to 7 years! Vaccination and limited exposure during vulnerable times are the best ways to prevent serious disease!

10/11/2023

It's official! New name, same compassionate care! Great job, Morristown Signs

09/01/2023

Just a reminder that West Main Animal Clinic (formerly Animal Hospital) will be CLOSED Monday for Labor Day! We will reopen at 8am Tuesday morning!

Keep you and your pets safe!

06/20/2023

There are only so many appointments available in a week, and we do our best to triage those cases to fit appropriately. We reserve several urgent/emergent slots each day, but they usually fill up fast. This may mean we can't see an itching dog for a few days or a vaccine appointment until next week. Please be patient, as we're doing our best. Thanks for your support and understanding!

You've likely heard friends and family complaining about how they can't get their pet seen by a veterinarian the same day they call, or how an emergency veterinary visit turned into an all-night...
