It is with broken hearts we share the passing of our friend and colleague Dr. Kerma Moore. She was such a bright spot in our crazy days. She made us smile and laugh and was so devoted to her patients. She will be incredibly missed by all who knew her.
Very often, pets come to the hospital needing life saving treatment, and Kerma was determined to save every patient she cared for. In her honor, we have started a fund to help provide care for all pets who are in need.
Please contact our staff if you would like to donate. Our staff is committed to continuing her legacy.

Today was extremely busy with several very sick patients all at the same time and my team handled it with both grit and grace. These photos capture their dedication to each pet they care for. At the time this photo was taken, they were caring for 6 newborn puppies and 3 other critical patients all the while keeping our regularly scheduled appointments going.
Way to go work family, I could not be more proud. Your patients are so blessed to have you ❤️❤️

The 4th of July is just around the corner and many dogs have anxiety from all the fireworks. Please call the office to discuss options to keep your pets calm over the holiday. We will be closed on the 4th, so please plan ahead!

Fireworks and bugs are part of our summer season at the lake. Did you know you can help your pet with essential oils?
“Calm-a-Mile” helps to ease anxiety and “Away” will repel those pesky insects. Stop in today and pick up your summer essentials!

It’s officially the week we recognize our receptionist team. While most of our staff can step in and assist on the front lines, these incredible individuals are the faces you see when you walk in, and they are the voices you hear when you call needing help with your pets. “Receptionist” does not being to describe the responsibilities they take on every day. They handle everything each day hands them with grace and kindness, and I could not be more proud of them. If you see them this week, please help me remind them how fantastic they are.

I rarely pay close attention to social media discussions, but I feel this one was important to address.
Over the weekend, a post was made “shaming” Lake area veterinarians for not being available 24 hrs to see emergencies. I struggle to understand why our profession is held to a different standard than human medicine. I am most certainly not able to contact my primary care physician at 2 AM and ask them to come in to see me. Why are we not only expected, but “shamed” when we don’t come in after hours after working a grueling 10-12 hour shift?
This mentality is exactly why the su***de rate in our profession is so high. We recently lost 2 colleagues in one week!

I personally choose to still take calls and come in after hours as I can, and despite my staff being exhausted, they will always say yes when I ask them to help. But it’s not possible to be available for every after hours emergency.
If your veterinarian is no longer taking calls after hours, it’s not because they don’t care, they just simply can no longer keep up. Even 24 hour ER clinics have had to close because they are so overwhelmed, I think that speaks volumes about how overwhelmed and understaffed many Veterinary hospitals have become!

I do believe the Lake area is busy enough now to need an urgent care service, but those of us working an 80 hour work week simply cannot shoulder this responsibility. Many of your veterinarians and their staff have children and a family and I will always preach to my team how important a healthy work/life balance is.
We simply need more doctors and support staff to provide an urgent care or ER service here. Even sharing after hours care between Lake area veterinary hospitals is a significant strain on the doctors and their staff.
So to those who “shame” my fellow veterinarians and their staff for not being available 24/7, I say shame on you. We are doing our best every single day.

As you have likely seen in the media recently, there has been an increase in complex respiratory cases in several states. Rarely dogs are developing pneumonia or serious complications more than is expected from typical causes of 'Kennel Cough'.
There have not been any reported cases in our area at this time. We will provide additional information as it comes available from reputable sources.

What should pet owners be aware of?

• ISOLATE your pet if they develop a cough without known medical explanation. Coughing dogs should not be boarded in a kennel or exercised with other dogs as they could be exposed to other pathogens which could progress their disease and they pose a risk to other pets.

• CONTACT your veterinarian if your pet develops a cough, and monitor for progressive signs such as loss of appetite, lethargy, depression, weakness or nasal discharge. A Pet ER visit might be necessary if after-hours or if your veterinary office does not have availability.

• VACCINATE your pet. Eliminating or reducing certain known infectious respiratory pathogens such as Distemper, Bordetella and Canine Influenza may provide protection against complicated disease.

• RESTRICT your pet from sharing toys and public drinking bowls and from interacting with dogs that are coughing or appear unwell.

From our family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Good morning! Several of our staff will be out of the office this week attending a Christian veterinary conference. We are so excited to learn new things to bring back with us!
The clinic will be short staffed while we are gone, so please be patient with the staff who agreed to stay behind to care for our clients. We will not be able to accommodate same day medication refills this week, so please plan ahead if your pet needs anything!
Thank you!

10/17/2023

We are celebrating not only our incredible vet techs this week, but all our irreplaceable staff. Each and every one of them is the reason Lake Hills is so special. I could not be more proud of our team. Please join me this week in reminding them how much they are appreciated! ❤️

09/19/2023

Thank you Lake Hills family for being so supportive of our team as we work hard to care for your pets!

09/13/2023

Good morning! We have several team members out sick for the next few days, so we ask for patience and understanding if your wait times are longer for medication refills and return phone calls.
Thank you ❤️

As most of you know, my staff is my family. I am loyal to them through and through. They show up every day to pour their heart and soul into taking caring for our patients and clients. At least once a day, one of my amazing staff members is crying because they were yelled at, swore at, or just plain treated with complete disrespect. I will not tolerate this behavior. We have a zero tolerance policy and I will kindly ask you to find care elsewhere if I hear any member my staff is disrespected.
I understand that our pets are family and when they become sick, it’s very stressful. But, that in no way gives anyone permission to treat my staff poorly. We are all here to help and we do our very best each day to provide great care.
Thank you for your understanding.
