The Holidays are quickly approaching...

If you are looking for ways to give and support local animals- consider Heroes Everywhere Animal Rescue. This rescue organization takes in strays, vets them and finds them loving homes. The Veterinary Clinic @ Copper Crowne is 1 of 2 locations for donations for these babies. A little bit goes a long way- next time you buy your pet a bag of treats, consider purchasing a small bag for these babies for Christmas. A lot of them have been mistreated or abused and are dying for a little love and attention! We have a box located in our front lobby for anybody that would like to drop anything off. We thank you immensely for your generosity towards these animals- I promise they would thank you too. Happy Holidays!

Hey Everybody! Just a little reminder to get in your pets for our Memorial that we will be doing later this week. Please text your pet to 337-407-8600 by Monday, November 4th. This was in honor of Día de Los Mu***os (See previous post!).

ALSOOOO.... thanks to everybody who participated in the 20% off spays and neuters for October. We saved at least 500 puppies/kittens from the streets and shelters next year.

In November, we will be doing 20% off all wellness profiles. This means, when you come in for your routine visits and are offered the panel of blood work, those panels are 20% off this month. These panels are SO important because it's a screening test that helps us understand the state of your pet's organ health, electrolyte balance, endocrine health, blood sugar levels, and more! While our doctor's are able to do external exams and use history and clinical signs to suspect things, the importance of blood work cannot be overstated. Blood work is one of the best tools to catch things early, especially for senior pets!

Originally celebrated in Mexico and other parts of Latin America, Día de los Mu***os has grown popularity in the United States. During the holiday, ofrendas – translated as altars in English – are made and decorated with cherished items of past loved ones. Celebrants believe that during the celebration, the souls of past pets and family members cross back over to Earth and are guided to their families through the offerings placed for them at the ofrenda.

Creating your own ofrenda is a perfect way to celebrate the life of your past pet this month. While an ofrenda has traditional decorations placed on it like marigold flowers and candles, it can also be customized to fit your pet’s personality (food or water bowls, favorite toy, blankets, treats, photos).

For many, this is a holiday to receive closure and heal from the loss of a pet. Take time with your family to celebrate the memory of your beloved pet this Día de los Mu***os by looking back at the joy filled life once lived.

We will be doing a memorial post at the beginning of November to honor all of the pets that we have lost- if you’d like your pets photo included please text it to us- 337-407-8600.

"Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered"

Please don't disappoint Bob Barker...

We are still doing 20% off spays and neuters for dogs and cats the rest of this month!

We cannot let another day go by without showing our appreciation for our technicians.

Vet techs are our front lines. They are an integral part of our team. They are the only way that our doctors can work efficiently and effectively. They are also the only reason our doctors know where their stethoscope is at any given moment. They keep our fingers and faces safe from stressed out patients (thank you). They know what we need before we know we need it. Our girls are nurses. They are smart. They are kind. We thank them endlessly for their compassion, their knowledge and their commitment to our often times very difficult and draining field. They deserve to be celebrated. Next time you see your vet tech, thank them! They are working so hard behind the scenes. They love your pets. Their passion for this field is what we love about them. We will be closed for lunch this Thursday, October 17th to take them for a small celebration. 🩷💜

Cytology Saturday!

History: 12 yr old female Labrador with a history of “swollen, leaky” ears that the owner noticed a couple days ago.
On exam, Dr. Ashlyn noticed that the left ear was severely inflamed with a smelly green exudate and the pinnas (ear flap) are thickened.
Dr. Ashlyn’s technician retrieved a sample of the exudate and rolled it onto a slide, stained it and placed it under the microscope.
Can you diagnose these little guys in the red circle?!
Hint: these organisms are often described as looking like “footprints” or “peanuts”.
*Bonus points if you can name the most likely genus of this organism.

Jackie thought she was going to be the second astronaut kitty to go to space… but then she ended up at Copper Crowne. Sorry Jackie.

Fun Fact: the first kitty in space was actually Felicette, a black and white kitty, in 1963. 💫

It’s FUN FRIDAY!

This is a stool sample from a puppy that we had this morning. Can anybody name these 2 parasites??

Hint: Parasite A is a nematode that infests the small intestine and can cause anemia and diarrhea. Parasite B is a protozoa of the GI tract that can cause diarrhea and lethargy but many times do not cause any clinical signs.
