This sweet girl needs a home. She is good with dogs, not sure about cats. Also not sure her age but definitely an adult. Call the clinic 502-955-6822 or message here if you're interested.
Our internet is struggling today and causing our phone to also struggle. We are NOT hanging up on people, just losing service.
So sorry for the frustration!
(We feel it too.)
Mother’s Day is on Sunday! There are so many ways to say “thank you” and celebrate moms for all that they do, but the most common, go-to gift is a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Here are a few of our favorite flowers that are pet-safe too!
Do you know this baby?
They were found and brought to us, no microchip.
They are not at our clinic, but call us and we can get you in touch with the finder.
We have several staff members and a doctor out with flu. If you are immunocompromised and want to switch your appointment in the next couple of days, feel free to reach out.
We will do our best to keep things going as smoothly as possible.
Orange tabby cat found nearly deceased on the side of the road today. Not neutered and no microchip. We helped him cross the rainbow bridge.

Does anyone recognize this dog? A client found him running down beech grove road in the storms last night please TEXT us at 502-215-3453 or CALL us at 502-543-3001 and we can get you in contact with the finder.
For all asking, this is a post clipping/cleaning picture of the dog found last week.
He is in foster care now and Bluegrass Shuh-Tzu Rescue has taken him in, for which we are grateful. See their page for future updates.
Do you know this dog?
It was found in a ditch near the old golf course on Bell’s Mill.
It is safe now.
And receiving the necessary medical care.

We are NOT going to make it in today. So many of our staff live out in the country and with temps dropping and wind picking up we want to keep them safe.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s update.
Friday January 19,2024
Due to weather we will be closed until at least 10. We will let you know if/when we open.
Tomorrow, 1/16/24, we plan to open at 10am so that our staff doesn’t have to travel on dark roads that may have refrozen overnight with the cold cold temps.

Not just taurine or grain free. Here is a recent easy to read blog post from Dr Freeman at Tufts that summarizes the current research
A new FDA update provides more information on diet-associated dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). While the specific cause is not yet known, the problem hasn’t gone away
We have a client looking to re-home 2 kittens, free to a good home. If you're interested please call Carol Cook 502-593-9364.
The tabby and white one is Junior. He is 5 months old. He has his rabies shot, dewormed and has been neutered. He loves his sister Fiona and it would be ideal if they could be adopted together. If that's not possible it's ok. He is also a sweet boy who loves to play.
The grey one is Fiona. She is 5 months old. She has had her rabies shot, dewormed and been spayed. Very playful and sweet.

We still have these precious babies for adoption! $100 adoption fee includes: first vaccines, flea treatment, deworming, spay/neuter, microchip.
To make us all even safer we have a new system! If you are bringing a pet for an appointment, park by the big gates to our backyard. When it is your turn (someone will call you) bring your pet in and put him/her in the kennel. (Cats in carriers please) Then walk back out the gate. If you do not have a carrier for your cat, let us know, we can provide one to make sure your cat stays safe during their visit. A staff member will come get the pet and bring him/her into the building for care and treatment. To return the pet we will do this process in reverse. That way we maintain social distance! #teamKentucky #togetherky
This is Dr. Albert. I’m home again from the hospital! Resting and healing among family, dogs, cats, livestock, and the soothing and beautiful wind through the trees. You have all been amazingly kind and supportive and I am so grateful! I hope to be back in July, if I heal as planned. With my veterinarian daughter by my side! Thank you for being wonderful, and I miss being there for you every day.
This lovely senior citizen came to us with not much mobility left. “Is it time” the owners wondered? But with “mobility” food and adequan injections (cartilage support) he is back to running!!!? This essentially non-drug support has been working wonders in our older dog patients.
Annabelle, Dr. Albert's pig, would like to thank everyone for their pumpkins! They are her favorite treat!
With their 70+ years of combined experience, the doctors at Mount Washington Animal Clinic have learned a thing or two about kidney failure. Kidney failure happens when the kidneys cannot get rid of the toxins of the body. Sometimes it happens acutely – like when a dog gets a hold of too many ibuprofen, or antifreeze, or stung by too many bees. Far more often, kidney failure is chronic, slow moving, and manageable. A diagnosis of kidney failure (or the more benign sounding “renal insufficiency”), usually starts with bloodwork. “We do a LOT of bloodwork at Mt. Washington Animal Clinic” Dr. Albert notes, “mostly because we can find kidney failure in its early stages and can then do a great deal to help the animals’ survival and comfort. The pet that illustrates this best is Jordan, a 10 year old female yellow lab that was diagnosed with kidney failure more than two years ago. She is in profound kidney failure now, with the hallmark blood parameter, creatinine, ranging from 10 to 12. (normal is less than 2) And yet, Jordan is clinically normal. “She eats, she plays, she’s happy, she’s cheerful. Every day is a miracle”, Dr. Albert says. She has learned that creatinine is only a number and only one piece of the kidney failure puzzle. “I have seen dogs with a creatinine of 2 who spiraled out of control and died a week later. I used to think if creatinine was 4-6 that animals only had a month or two left, if it was 12 they maybe had a week. But several animals have proved me wrong and lived wonderful lives with very high numbers.” Nothing substitutes for the experience of hundreds of animals with kidney failure. “We learned to treat the whole pet (cats have renal failure also), and make recommendations not only based on creatinine, but on whether the animal is eating, how “icky” they feel, and how they respond. “ Treatment for kidney failure is nuanced, and specific to each animal. “We strive to make the best outcome for each individual” The doctors and s
