Just a friendly reminder of our office hours tomorrow and Friday, we will be closed. We will be back to normal hours Monday. 🕰️

Dr. Giffin is available for consultation and emergency if needed by calling the clinic and pressing #9 (*for established clients and patients*) ☎️

In the meantime:
* avoid giving your dogs your turkey or chicken bones and any stuffing and scraps, and yes, of course, cats too. 🦴

* please, no rawhides! Shin bones w/ morrow or bully sticks and antlers are better alternatives in moderation if you’re still watching your pets with their treat. 🚫

* if you’re decorating or have decorated for the holidays make sure your pups and kitties are not chewing on electric cords or chewing up decor! 🎄

* and if all else fails, as you’re away for the holiday, yet know your pets may be mischievous, make sure your space is safe or place them in “their” safe place kennel or room (that is completely non destructive, for your sake 😉)

…and don’t forget to have a very Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your time with family and friends and everything we have to be thankful for! 🦃

EPM is widely considered the most important infectious neurologic disease of horses in North America and is caused by protozoal infection of the central nervous system. Horses are infected by consuming food or water contaminated with opossum s**t containing sporocysts.

Horses with EPM do not present a biosecurity risk to other animals because the disease is not transmissible between horses. An effective vaccine has yet to be developed, so the best preventative approach includes eliminating access of opossums to feed and water in order to minimize contact with opossum s**t and improving your horse's immune defenses by decreasing stress and optimizing health.

To learn more about EPM, visit the following resources:
https://aaep.org/resource/equine-protozoal-myeloencephalitis-epm/
&

As always, consult your veterinarian for more information and for advice tailored to your horse's specific circumstances.

We would like to more formerly introduce Dr. Abby Obermiller-Roasa. She has been filling a huge need for us at South Loup Veterinary Clinic doing regular relief work (on average, 3 days a week). She is from Loup City, NE and received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M. Dr. Abby brings us much knowledge and experience for our small animal patients as well as being more than ready to help with livestock including preg-checks and processing in our busy times.

Dr. Abby’s specialty and passion lies with equine reproductive management and medicine. She is certified as well in the holistic approach to the musculoskeletal structure of our equine companions and offers acupuncture and chiropractic services.

We are grateful for the time she puts in with us at SLVC. What we admire about her most is that she is always searching for ways to widen her skills and knowledge base. Dr. Abby is a mother, a wife and a daughter as well as an amazing veterinarian. Thank you Dr. Abby!

Today is - a day to bring awareness and educate about healthy lifestyles for our beloved pets.

Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your pet’s risk of disease and injury and gives them the best chance of a long, healthy, quality life. Your veterinarian can help you determine whether your pet’s weight is healthy and can work with you to develop a weight management plan based on your pet’s individual needs.

🐱 This is how we feel after the conclusion of this week and Feral Feline Frenzy….like Suli here, it’s time to rest but we feel like we accomplished a great deal with your help!

🐈‍⬛ We cannot thank all those who brought or caught feral, farm or barn cats this week and may or may not have the scratches to show it!

🐈 The purpose of it all is to reduce the overpopulation of outdoor cats and therefore reduce illness in these cats and especially avoid sick litters of kittens before going into colder temperatures. At the end, resulting in healthier cats. Period.

🏆 So here is our trivia - the top 2 closest answers will receive our giveaway (TBD) and announced Monday!

⭐️ How many cats in total did we have this week for the clinic?

Fun bonus: How many neuters/ Male cats? How many spays/ female cats?

AND GO! 🐈
