DOES YOUR PET NEED SURGERY?
This time of year, all veterinary hospitals slow down. Animal House is no exception. Every year, we try to do something beneficial for the community. Last year, we did 50 spay neuters for $50 each. It was a great success. I am getting too old to physically stand at a surgery table for hours doing repetitive work. This year, we are offering 50% off specialty surgeries. If we have seen your pet in the last 6 weeks and given you a surgery estimate, we will honor the estimate and cut the quoted price, of the surgery, in half. If your pet is in need of surgery and you are not an Animal House client, we would love to meet you and your pet and give you the 50% discount (only pertains to surgical cost- not preliminary work up or post op meds and care). I love surgery. I love to take something broken and make it new. Limited availability, limited time… so don’t wait.. come see us!
Call us for more information on our surgery services.
We fix Stenotic Nares & Soft Palates. Many smushed faced dogs need surgical intervention to be able to breathe normally.

A Good Samaritan found a tiny kitten with her intestines hanging out. She did not want the kitten to suffer and the cost of fixing an injury like this is unattainable by many. The kitten was dropped off for euthanasia and had been waiting all morning for me to administer the drugs that would end the kittens life. My main medical Assistant informed me of the kitten waiting for euthanasia in my morning rounds. The morning kept getting busier and busier and I couldn’t even catch my breath. It was 12:30 and I still had a kennel full of patients to examine and come up with a plan. Finally, I was caught up and the only patient left was the tiny kitten. My girls know me and they always amaze me. Ana, my surgery goddess, announces I have one more thing to take care of.. it’s a tiny kitten tied down to my surgery table. While busting their butts during the morning rush they had secured a spot for the tiny, run over kitten, in the best feline rescue in Middle Tn, “Fluff”. The surgery took me 15 minutes and I spayed her at the same time. I rinsed the dirt off the intestines, pushed her innards that were coming outwards.. back inside her and closed the hole. No, this is not standard of care but it worked. It is truly amazing to watch how people come together to help, the tiniest kitten.

Help! I am struggling with imposter syndrome and Odie needs surgery. I overheard a conversation between Crystal and a lady holding Odie. The breeder was going to euthanize him because he can’t be sold. Paws Angels aka Crystal took him without hesitation so please donate to Paws Angels for his care. He was born with a congenital heart condition. My heart started pounding. I couldn’t get a stethoscope to his chest quick enough. If he has a grade 6/6 heart murmur… I can fix him. I held my breath and listened. I truly wanted it to be something fixable. It’s definitely a 6/6 heart murmur and I believe he has a PDA. I tried every day last week to take him to surgery but I am paralyzed with fear. I have at least a dozen success stories under my belt but I am scared to fail. I have reviewed the surgery 100 times in my head over the past week. I keep thinking what if I am wrong and I get in there and he doesn’t have a PDA or worse I can’t find it or I nick an artery or he dies from anesthesia. What if he could live another 6 months with the condition and he dies on the table. If I don’t try he will not get the opportunity to live a full normal life. His heart is already enlarged and he is on the verge of going into heart failure. I am asking for prayers and positive energy.. I simply can’t not do this on my own. Thank goodness I have my amazing team. Stay tuned - I am contemplating doing his surgery live.. people need to be aware of back yard frenchie breeders and they are popping up everywhere.
