Love seeing the successes of my graduating class!

Here is some excellent information about brachycephalic breed medical concerns, and very well presented.

BIG PAPA. This big guy came in and immediately wanted to give me a hug. Young and happy, we were excited about being a dog. He just came in for a screw tail evaluation and he got some good news: no surgery was needed...yet. But his youth made me think, what else should his family look out for during his life?

Five Fast Facts: Bulldog Medical Issues

✅ Big Tongue. Macroglossia (big tongue). Overall, tongue volume is higher in English & French bulldogs. English bulldogs also have the thickest soft palate when compared to French Bulldogs and Pugs. This may contribute to Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome

✅ C- section. Bulldogs and their need for C-sections are well acquainted. Statistics indicate that approx. 58% of bulldogs may need a C-section when giving birth. And only 31% will give birth naturally after the first C-section. Fortunately, Big Papa will never have to worry about this.

✅ Urinary Tract Stones. Calcium oxalate urinary tract stones in juvenile dogs are rare (

While my time back has been truly enjoyable, it is with a saddened heart that I have to cease part time work.

My home suffered severe water damage. Fortunately with the help of so many people, I was able to save my cherished belongings. But the amount of work and time between now and when I can move back in has to be my focus and priority.

I will make myself available as I am able for consults with Dr. Elliott, but that is all I can commit to given the circumstances.

Thank you all for your kindness and grace during this time. ❤️

Just a friendly reminder!
Once heat exhaustion/heat stress moves to full heat stroke, the effects are devastating. Early recognition and immediate intervention are key to improving survival rate. Even “cooler” temps are dangerous with high humidity and no breeze.

Great tips here!

This trick is the tip of the iceberg of medicating tricks and possibilities, but it is an excellent and often underutilized tool.

If you need help medicating your cat, I am here to help! However, I cannot recommend enough getting ahead of it and training your cats to take medications BEFORE they need medications. Here is a link to get you started if you would like guidance.

For all of my animal and cat loving friends out there!

I have personally worked with this kind-hearted family for years during my time at Chemstrand Oaks, and have always been amazed at the level of care they provide to these kitties.

This family has a special place in my heart for all the good work they do for our forgotten felines. As you know, I rarely share fundraisers, but this one I can fully support as legitimate. Even if you can’t donate, sharing can still help.

Thank you!

Announcement time!

I will be taking a sabbatical from the practice of veterinary medicine. My last day will be October 15, 2021.

It has been an honor and a privilege to care for your pets over the past 16 years. I’ll be leaving you in great hands with Dr. Elliott.
