With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.

Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.

If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.

Everyone here at VCA Burrstone Animal Hospital would like to share some sad news with all of our wonderful Burrstone clients. As some of you may already know, Dr. Joseph ElBayadi, who has been a very valuable part of our Burrstone family since 2016, has made the difficult decision to move on to pursue other career opportunities outside of our practice. This leaves you all in the very capable hands of our amazing, remaining full-time doctors, Dr. Meenan and Dr. Prichard as well as our wonderful relief doctors that will continue to fill in where they can. As a result of circumstances including our unfortunate loss of Dr. ElBayadi, we here at VCA Burrstone have made the necessary decision to adjust our hospital hours in order for things to be manageable with the smaller doctor core. Our new hours effective July 1st will be as follows…
Monday 8:00am – 6:00pm
Tuesday 8:00am – 5:00pm
Wednesday 8:00am – 6:00pm
Thursday 8:00am – 6:00pm
Friday 8:00am – 12:00pm (for food and medication pick-ups ONLY)
We are hoping for this change to be a temporary adjustment only lasting until we can add a new doctor to our team or find additional relief coverage. We also want to thank you for your continued support to our hospital and your patience with our team as we navigate through this uncertain time. Our entire Burrstone team will continue to work their very hardest to take care of all of you pets needs as they always have. Please keep in mind that you and your pets are always our main concern however, there may be times that the staff must work within limitations that cannot be controlled and we ask in advance for your understanding that they are doing their very best. As always if there is ever an emergency need outside of our hours of operation please reach out to one of our area's closest emergency clinics…
