Community Veterinary Center September Featured Story: Loki

Hello, my name is Loki. I am a very laid-back Mastiff/Poodle mix. I know it sounds like an awkward combination, but it's one that my mom thinks is perfect! I met my human mom when I was a tiny puppy. We both knew from the moment she held me in her arms that our lives would be forever intertwined. For the first few months of my life, I went everywhere with my mom, including the office. But as I grew into my lanky body, I soon became too big to go to the office, so instead, I eagerly waited for her to come home, with happy wags and puppy kisses. If my mom were to describe my personality, she would say that I am a goofy, happy-go-lucky boy with a bounce in my step.

Recently, I became a big brother, a responsibility that I take very seriously. You'll often find me running around the yard, playing with my little sister. If you see us playing, you might worry about the size difference - I'm the size of the Jolly Green Giant and she's the size of a flea. But rest assured, my little sister is the queen boss of our clan, or so I let her believe. Life was perfect until it wasn't. It all began with a recent heat wave. Day after day, the heat continued to rise. My mom did all she could to keep us cool. She took us to the river (one of my favorite activities), filled a pool for us to cool off in, and kept us indoors as much as she could. It was hot during the day and the heat persisted at night, with no relief in sight.

What began with a slightly upset stomach quickly spiraled into dangerous heat exhaustion. The moment my mom realized there was cause for concern, she did all she could to bring down my temperature. Mom was able to stabilize me, but when I didn't improve by morning, she called the Community Veterinary Center. Although they had a full schedule, after learning about my condition, the wonderful staff jumped into action and fit us into their already busy schedule. After some fluids and continued love, I have begun to make a full recovery. My mom strongly believes that it was the care and quick actions of the Community Veterinary Center that helped me recover. Now that I am feeling better, we can get back to playtime, swim time, and snack time. If you are looking for someone who will go the extra mile in your time of need, the Community Veterinary Center will be there for you!

The Community Veterinary Center August Featured Story: Luna

My name is Luna. I am a Pitbull, but please don't hold that against me. My mom adopted me as a rescue from a shelter. We have a full family; I have a younger brother and an even younger sister. Together, we make a disproportioned pack. Some may argue that I act like a senior girl, lounging back with a watchful eye as my siblings have crazy fun with their toys, playing tag, and simply acting like toddlers, all of which I allow. But to be honest, I am grateful to have them in my pack...I would only admit that to you, so please keep my secret. As I get older, things have begun to fall apart. I'm sure other senior dogs can relate to this, but I can still keep up with the best of them. Most of the time, I chose not to, until one day I felt the need to outshine my siblings.

I'll set the scene: It was a hot summer day. The air was warm with a slight breeze. My mom decided to take us to the river to cool off. As the car reached our destination, we all lined up, ready to take our marks and await our escape. The moment the latch was released and Mom gave us the all-clear, like rockets, we burst with speed and agility. Allowing my brother to feel like he could outrun me (all part of my plan) while saving my energy, I quickly let out a burst of speed as I took the lead. Nearing the end of the path and with Mom quickly slipping out of sight, we tagged our line and turned and burned in succession, meeting the little one on our way back to Mom, something my mom calls zooming. Halfway through the race, and while in the lead, I suddenly lost my ability to use my back leg, and before I knew it, I was lapped by the little one. Like a lame horse, I limped back to my mom's side, where I proudly hung my head in defeat.

Concerned that something was seriously wrong, we loaded into the car and headed home, an experience my siblings would not soon forget. The following day, it was evident that I was not feeling well. So my mom called the Community Veterinary Center first thing Monday morning. After a thorough examination the dr. quickly determined that I tore a ligament in my knee, similar to an ACL tear in humans. They took extra time to sit with my mom, answer questions, and create a treatment plan. Although my injury is something that most likely will not improve without (surgery with a specialist), I have learned to adjust to my injury. I have all of the luxuries and love that one could ever want and I can still keep up with my siblings when the need should arise. The staff at the Community Veterinary Center provided excellent care, but they also showed incredible compassion and attention to my mom, which sets them apart from anywhere else. So, if you want someone to care for your pet as well as your human, you will be in good hands with the Community Veterinary Center.

According to the , they recommend making sure your pets always have fresh water and access to shaded areas, a roof, a tarp, or a tarp-like device.

If booties are an option for you, many pet stores carry pet friendly boots that add an extra barrier to protect their paw pads from the concrete. Blankets and towels also prove to be very helpful.

Things to watch for:

** Excessive Panting//Salivation
** Difficulty Breathing
** Increased heart rate
** Bloody Diarrhea or Vomiting

If your pet shows signs like these or if you are worried they are suffering from Heat Exhaustion seek medical advice immediately, and contact your nearest emergency pet hospital.

Community Veterinary Center Featured Story

Hello, my name is Millie, and I am an easy-going 4-year-old Pitbull Mix. I met my dad about 2 years ago. My life hasn't always been filled with cuddles, treats, long walks, and playtime. My early days were not so glamorous. You see, I came from a puppy farm where I was one of the star attractions. A life my dad promises I will never have to go back to again.

Now, my days are filled with playing in the water during the day and relaxing by the fire at night. Whenever I needed some motivation or just a good girl, my dad gave me my favorite treat – brussels sprouts. Life was wonderful until I started feeling unwell. When my dad noticed that I was in distress, he quickly scheduled an appointment at the vet. Despite spending hundreds of dollars, the office staff seemed more focused on making sales than on my health. When we left, I could see the worry in my dad's eyes about how we were going to make me better.

After learning about the services offered at the Community Veterinary Center, my dad reached out and made an appointment for me. The moment we walked in, my dad felt that we were in good hands. It was days after our first visit that we learned why I was ill. Now that my health has improved, both my dad and I can get back to cuddles, playtime, and walks. So, if you want a place where you feel more like family and less like a number, then the Community Veterinary Center is the place to go.

Hello, my name is Cinder. I haven't always been this cute, although my mom thinks I'm perfect. I met my mom when I was about 4 days old. You see, my kitty mom couldn't take care of me when I was born, so I was sent to live with my new family. When I was about a week old, I met my Auntie Leslie, one of the vet techs at the Community Veterinary Center. When we met, she scooped me up and gave me love before sticking something up my bum. But all was quickly forgiven when she held me in her arms.

As I grew older, my mom began to realize I had hearing challenges, a challenge I have been able to adapt to. When I was about 2 1⁄2 months old, I was attacked by a dog. It was just a simple misunderstanding. I was probably chasing a bug when the dog crossed my path. My attention shifted from the bug to the dog, which was settled on the couch. As I approached and with a little butt wiggle for effect, I playfully lunged at my new target. As soon as I left the ground and began to fly gracefully, I was surprised to see the dog whip its head around in my direction. As I got closer, I could see its white teeth staring back at me. Unable to change direction, my face was on a crash course for a mouth full of stinky dog teeth. My mom heard the argument and quickly scooped me up to give me a once-over. I looked like my amazingly cute self, apart from the small amount of blood that was slowly dripping out of my crooked little mouth.

The day after my accident Mom took me to see Auntie Leslie, and this time nothing up my bum Auntie Leslie said I had been through enough. With a lot of love, a little loopy medicine, and an x-ray, Auntie Leslie confirmed what my mom feared, my jaw was broken. She explained that although it was going to take some time to recover, she assured my mom that I would heal.

My mom says I am a lucky little boy, I say it was the care that Auntie Leslie and the other staff at the Community Veterinary Center gave me. After some time, love, pampering, and mounds of soft food, I made a full recovery. So, if you are looking for compassionate staff that will go the extra mile, then come to the Community Veterinary Center and make sure to tell them, that Cinder sent you.
