🎄This little puppy came into our West clinic last month after he got a little too much into the Christmas spirit. After getting ahold of a nutcracker, the metal candy cane on the Christmas decoration punctured through the floor of the puppy's mouth and could not be safely removed at home due to the injury's severity. After anesthetizing him, our UPC team safely removed the Christmas decoration and sutured the wound in his mouth closed with absorbable sutures. We're very happy to report that with daily antibiotics and pain management he's healing very well!

Due to tonight's storm and minimizing the number of our teammembers on the road, we are closing our Millard facility until tomorrow at 5pm. Our Papillion facility will be open regular hours tonight and tomorrow to help with any pet emergencies.
Please Call First and let us know you are on the way so we can be prepared for your arrival.

Everyone be safe

🖤🤍🖤 Oreo the puppy is two months old and was recently an inpatient at our West clinic. A larger dog encountered him before he was surrendered to NHS. He was brought to our clinic shortly after being surrendered. After being treated, one of our amazing staff members decided to foster him! 🖤🤍🖤

Oreo is currently wearing a muzzle to allow proper healing/reconstruction and limit jaw movement. The muzzle will only be on for a few short weeks, and it is the best option to allow him to continue being a puppy without excessive jaw movements or discomfort.

Please help Haggis get the word out! A pet microchip company has closed without warning, meaning pet owners may need to re-register their pet's chip with another company. Pet owners should check that chip information is up to date by scheduling an appointment with their primary veterinarian or asking a rescue if they can assist with scanning the chip. A link with more information is provided in the comments.

Hello everyone, Reese is here to ask everyone to stay vigilant about bots. Bots (or fake facebook profiles) have recently inundated our recommendations section and have left comments on reviews. We cannot seem to delete these comments since they are attached to reviews. We are working on finding solutions to this issue, but in the mean-time, please make sure to not interact with pages who leave comments that have nothing to do with our clinic. For unknown reasons, many of these bots are impersonating members of the military. Thank you so much for your patience while we figure this out!

Reese visited us recently because she decided to eat a sock. After a very complicated surgery performed by Dr. Yonker, and post op care from Dr. Vinson, Reese went home for some much needed rest!

September 28th is WORLD RABIES DAY to raise awareness of this deadly disease and useful prevention methods to keep you and your pets safe.

The symptoms often include enlarged pupils, light sensitivity, fever, excessive salivation, changes in behavior, and aggression.

You can help protect your pet from rabies by making sure they are vaccinated by your local veterinarian and staying up to date on their booster vaccinations. Other prevention methods include staying away from stray cats or dogs, not approaching wild animals, not adopting wild animals as pets, not feeding wild animals on your property, and keeping your own pet under control.

If you think your pet has been infected with rabies call your local veterinarian right away or give us a call in emergency situations at (402) 597-2911.
