****PENDING FOREVER HOME!🥰🥰

We have this BEAUTIFUL bullseye grey tabby male that will be ready for a new home at the end of next week! He is up to date on vaccines for his age! He will get his 3rd set and triple tested next week to check for feline leukemia, FIV, and heartworms.
He will be due for his final set and rabies in 4 weeks. He does well with our clinic cat Mia but will probably need a slow introduction to new cats. Dogs, he's very selective on, so again, a slow introduction would be best. He does have a right, rear leg deformity that does not slow him down at all. We've mostly been calling him Nemo. If you're interested in meeting Nemo, please ask a staff member while your here or give us a call at 423-586-3544!

Just a reminder that we are only a week away from the 4th of July. This is the time to ensure pets are microchipped, your microchip information is current, pets are wearing well fitting collars with proper identification, and that you have enough medication from your vet if necessary. More dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other time. Plan ahead to ensure your pet is not one of them 🎆

If you are needing medications filled we do require a 24 hour notice and a updated exam before filling prescriptions!

The temperature is going to be on the rise for a little while! Here's some tips for heat stroke in dogs!

Early signs are:

- excessive panting
- difficulty breathing
- excessive drooling
- dog is lethargic, drowsy or uncoordinated
- dog collapses
- vomiting

A dog’s normal body temp is higher than ours, around 101-102.5. The problem is, dogs are not that efficient at cooling down quickly, so if they get too hot, they can only cool down so fast.

Heatstroke is life threatening and can cause internal damage if untreated. It’s important to cool the dog down as quickly as possible. Note - don’t use ice water! This can construct the capillaries and actually inhibit cooling. Use cool (or whatever water you have) but not ice water if possible.

Dogs that are brachycephalic or overweight are more prone to heatstroke, BUT it can occur in any breed of dog.

Use caution when it’s hot.. for example, don’t run with your dog in the heat of the day, especially if they are higher risk.

Also on a related topic, be wary of burning pavements. If you’re out with your dog in the heat of the day, chances are the pavement will be too hot for their pads. If you see your dog “hot footing” lifting up each paw in succession, then it’s burning them.

Tiny chip, Huge Protection! 🐱🐶
Did you know we offer implant and registration services to our clients?
A pet microchip --the size of a grain of rice-- goes beneath your pet's skin. Microchips don't hurt your pet, don't require surgery and don't wear out, but they DO give your pet best chance of coming home if they become lost!

‼️ATTENTION CLIENTS‼️

I’m sure most of you have heard about the virus going around causing respiratory symptoms in dogs.

As most of you know we take sanitation very seriously and want to keep all dogs safe and healthy. Here is what we’re doing to limit exposure and help prevent the spread of the mysterious illness.

🦠 Sanitizing kennels, rooms, and all surface areas frequently

🦠 Keeping animals with symptoms out of the building to limit exposure

🦠 Mopping high traffic areas throughout the day.

🦠 Keeping sick pets in isolation away from others.

If your pet is feeling under the weather🤒🤧 Please let us know prior to your appointment. We may ask you to wait in your car and have us come to you for a outside exam to limit spread of illness in the hospital.

For drop off appointments we ask that you pick your pet up as soon as you can once we let you know that they’re ready to limit the capacity of dogs in the building.

As always thank you for your kindness and patience. We know new illnesses can be scary but we are working hard to keep our hospital as safe as we can during this time!💙

This little girl came and had her first kitten visit!😍🐱
We all melted over her!

Did you know?🤔❓️❔️

Vaccinations are important for your young kitten. Some infectious diseases are fatal, and vaccinations can protect your kitten from many of these diseases. In order to be effective, immunizations must be given as a series of injections at prescribed intervals, so it is essential that you are on time for your kitten’s scheduled vaccinations. Immunizations are started at 6-8 weeks of age and are repeated every 3-4 weeks until the kitten is 4 months old.

The routine or core vaccinations will protect your kitten from the most common diseases: feline distemper (panleukopenia), feline viral rhinotracheitis (feline herpes virus 1), calicivirus, and rabies. The first three are included in a combination vaccine given every three to four weeks until the kitten reaches 16 weeks of age. Rabies vaccine is usually given once at 12-16 weeks of age.

Non-core vaccinations are not administered to every kitten but are recommended in certain areas for cats with certain lifestyles. Cats that live outdoors are at more risk for infectious disease and often need these additional vaccines. Feline leukemia vaccine (FeLV) is recommended for all kittens that are exposed to outdoor cats, so if your kitten goes outside or lives with another cat that goes in and out, feline leukemia vaccine may be added to the regimen.

To keep up the cat’s immunity through adulthood, vaccines are repeated once every 1-3 years depending on individual circumstances and vaccine type.

Vaccination Schedule: 💉⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

• 6 weeks: FVRCP required. F***l check.

• 9 weeks: FVRCP required. Repeat f***l check if necessary.

• 12 weeks: FVRCP required (third in series) At this time, your kitten can be triple tested if elected to check for heartworms, FIV, and FeLv. If your kitten was a stray or from a stray population, they have an increased likelihood of being born fiv/felv positive. FeLV vaccine highly recommended.

• 16 weeks: FVRCP required (forth in series) Rabies required by law. FeLV highly recommended.

• 1-year booster: FVRCP booster required. Rabies booster required by law. FeLv highly recommended.
