Hope you’re all having a pawsitively fabulous Monday! 🐾

Meet this female kitten approximately 3.5 to 4 months old. She was a stray that wondered up to a home where they decided to get her checked out and up to date on vaccines! 🙌❤️

Despite a minor cold (like we all have this time of year) she is pretty darn healthy. She was treated as well and should be on the mend.

BUT, she is looking for a place she could call home as a family pet/ indoor kitty or as a shop/ barn cat mouser!

Please reach out if you are interested!!

IT IS HERE!
We are now exactly a week into January and early calvers have calves hitting the ground and filling pens...

Should you need it, we have you covered for any of your calving needs so that you are fully prepared. These are some of our most common items to have on hand for those babies:
✅2025 calving records book (pick-up free - in clinic!)
✅banders and cheerios
✅pulling straps and handles
✅colostrum and electrolytes
✅supplements for slow to get started calves
✅O-No More
✅iodine
✅vitamin A&D
✅Multi-Min90
✅afterbirth uterine boluses
✅oxytocin
and more

IF you have questions about giving your calves the best start or have had issues with scours in the past, we would be happy to consult with you on your program!

Of course, we hope you have a smooth and uneventful calving season, but these services are on hand for current clients if an emergency arises such as sick calves or dystocias. Our veterinarian is available to arrive on site or here in clinic. If you need a dehydrated or scouring calf treated, we have 6 calf neonatal ICU units.

Here is to a safe and successful calving season!

We admit, sometimes we can’t help ourselves and just have to take time for a photo shoot!

This quite adorable pup is SUNNY!☀️
He is a 9 wk old Yellow Labrador who was in today for his vet check and puppy series vaccines. He is GROWING at 16.5 lbs a 3 lb increase from his last visit 8 days ago!

He had no qualms about sitting in for the pictures since he was paid in treats.

Enjoy! ✨

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/
&
https://www.equinediseasecc.org/EPM

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