Meet George!
Meet George, an adorable little orange fluffball!🐱🧡
His neuter was postponed yesterday due to abnormal pre-operative lab results, but he enjoyed extra love from our team and brightened our day while waiting for his mom! 🥰
This highlights why pre-op bloodwork is so important—it allows us to identify and manage any unexpected underlying health issues prior to surgery. We're now addressing George's other concerns to ensure he's in the best health possible!
We can’t wait to see you again little buddy!🤭💛

Construction update!! Framing, roofing, and front parking are moving right along. Thank you for being so patient with the extra noise, dust and chaos that comes with construction. Only a few more months until we can welcome you into our new expansion space.
🚜 Construction is OFFICIALLY underway! 😁
Today begins the construction on our 4000 sq foot expansion. With expected completion to be late summer 2023. The expansion will allow us to have 12 exam rooms, a large private end of life room, designated x-Ray and ultrasound rooms, and just a bit more space in general! Our ultimate goal is to be able to add veterinarians to our dedicated team to be able to better serve our patients.
There may be a little extra noise some days as we are working to have this completed quickly. Our front parking will be a bit blocked off but we expect to have plenty of parking on the side and behind our building with our parking addition completed last year.
Happy Friday! 😁
This is ✨Waffle ✨ Dr. Carly’s Sulcata Tortoise! She is around 10-15 years old and she presented with overgrowth on her beak.
Overgrowth can be caused due to Malocclusion which is a problem that can arise from a poor diet, husbandry or just by the chances in some cases.
Most tortoise are able to grind down their own beak evenly with a good diet.
For treatment Dr. Mel went ahead and dremeled her beak down to help with any discomfort. 🐢

Recommendations for a 1 year old dog
Goofy pitbull Remi came in for a Heartworm Test and it just happened to also be his 1 year old Birthday! We couldn't resist a quick photo shoot with the birthday boy. We recommend dogs between 1-2 years old have an annual exam, vaccinations, heartworm and tick fever test, dental check (to make sure they are not developing pre-mature tartar and gingivitis), and wellness bloodwork. Getting annual bloodwork done helps us keep a close eye on overall health, if there are increases to organ values we can treat them much more effectivly when caught early!
Meet Kacy
Kacy is a log time client of Dr. Cohen and is a very special girl!
She was diagnosed with Addison's disease which means her adrenal glands are not producing coritsol or aldosterone. These steroids help the body regulate internal organs and other body systems. Any breed can have Addison's disease but Duck Tolling Retrievers (like Kacy) have a higher incidence of the disease occuring. Kacy will need medicaiton for the rest of her life to keep the effects of Addison's at bay.
Even with the difficult prognosis and frequent blood tests to monitor her disease she has remained a happy, spunky and sweet girl. We loved having you come in to visit today!
Dr. Cohen's jump!
You've asked for the video and here it is! Dr. Cohen jumping from the tree during our team building kayak trip.
🐓 Our team training this week was all about chickens! Our technicians and assistants learned about proper chicken care and holding techniques, x-ray positioning, blood draws, and how to give sub q fluids. 🐓
Ongoing training is an important part of veterinary medicine and something we do regularly. ✏️
And don’t worry about the chickens- they loved the extra attention and strawberry treats! 🍓
