Sweet Miss Sasha and her mama made a visit to this week and we couldn't help but showcase these lovely ladies!

Sasha, a 2 year old Shih Tzu, was acting a little bit off at home, not wanting to eat as much and being a little bit lethargic. Her mama also reported that Sasha had eaten a piece of raisin bread a few days prior.

Due to ongoing research into why exactly raisins can cause kidney injury in dogs, it is incredibly important to seek veterinary care right away after the ingestion of even a single grape or raisin.

Additionally, it's very important for our team to consult with a Board Certified Veterinary Toxicologist as treatments and monitoring can change with new research and information.

After calling the ASPCA Pet Poison Control Center and speaking with their Board Certified Veterinary Toxicologist, we ran in-house diagnostics on Miss Sasha and let her hang out in her dedicated doggie exam room while we waited for results.

Thankfully, her bloodwork was pristine and her likelihood of further concern associated with the raisin ingestion had passed!

We sent Sasha home with lots of well-wishes and kisses since she was an absolute doll for her whole visit!

If you believe your pet may have ingested something this shouldn't have, give us a call, walk-in, or reserve your spot online today! Our team is here for you, 365 days a year!

Here at , we see and treat quite a few feline friends for Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease, aka FLUTD. This umbrella term encompasses many disorders, ranging from infections to bladder stones and more.

Common signs of a urinary problems include: frequently visiting the litter box, blood-tinged urine, small amounts of urine produced, no urine passing, vocalizing/crying when trying to urinate, lethargy, vomiting, decreased appetite, and behavior changes.

Willa, a gorgeously thiccc ladycat of 10 years (though you'd never know it!) began exhibiting signs of FLUTD when her pawrent noticed subtle changes in her behavior, appetite, and the color of her urine.

We obtained a sterile urine sample and found that she had quite a lot of red blood cells present, as well as some bacteria, indicating evidence of an infection.

Willa received pain medication and anti-inflammatories after we checked bloodwork to ensure her organs were functioning normally, as well as antibiotics to help treat her infection. She was very comfy when we sent her home and we hope she feels much better after receiving care!

Our feline companions can develop urinary signs, infections, and complications due to stress, and the holidays are often very stressful for kitties!

If you notice your cat exhibiting any changes in their litter box habits, behavior, appetite, or more, make a reservation today!

You can save your spot online, over the phone, or simply bring your furiend with you as a walk-in for a same-day reservation - because your pet can't wait to feel better!

Are seasonal allergies making your pup scratch, itch, sneeze, chew, and lick?

Well Mr. Mack here is one of many patients we see and treat for allergies and allergic reactions here at !

This stunning, golden boy, just shy of 3 years old, came by to see us when he caused his pawrents to worry about his breathing.

They brought Mack right in and we triage him to ensure he was stable upon presentation. After ensuring he was not in any kind of life-threatening distress, Mack gave us a wonderful demonstration of what his people were seeing - a reverse sneeze!

Reverse sneezing can cause a lot of pawrents concern because of how it sounds and how their dog looks when experiencing a reverse sneeze.

We sent Mack home with kisses, pets, and pet-safe allergy medication to help get him through his seasonal allergies.

We hope you're feeling much better, Mack!

If you're ever concerned about your pet, make a reservation online or bring your pet to us to be seen by our Fear Free Certified team of veterinary professionals today!

🚨 Cutest Kitten Alert 🚨

Django, the sweetest 3 month old little orange tabby baby boy, came by for a visit after he developed some signs of an Upper Respiratory Infection that had his people worried!

A common ailment in many kittens and cats, Upper Respiratory Infections can cause signs similar to that of a cold in people - sneezing, nasal and ocular discharge, a decrease in appetite, and lethargy.

Django had developed conjunctivitis (inflammation of the membrane around the eye) and required treatment to help get him feeling better.

We performed an eye stain to ensure there was no evidence of trauma to the eye before sending him home with the proper medications to get him feeling better.

With lots of love and snuggles from his Pet Care Professional, Caitlin, Django was sent home with a plan to get him feeling much better, faster.

Thanks for coming to see us, Django! 🧡

We have a winner for the Cutest Puppy Award this week!

Sticking with the theme of toxicities, little Chato here maybe took the story of The Princess and the Frog too literally and decided to start kissing some toads!

When he started showing signs of intoxication and became uncoordinated, his pawrents brought him in to for an evaluation and called Animal Poison Control for guidance.

Lucky for this pint-sized pup, the toxins produced by the most common species of toads in Virginia are not as dangerous as some invasive species seen across the country.

We sent Chato home with lots of love and well wishes and hope he thinks twice before he goes licking toads!

11/13/2024

Uh oh! Tis the season for toxicities!

Otis, a 1.5 year old Miniature Wirehaired Dachshund, came to see us after his pawrents found him hiding a secret stash of ibuprofen (Advil) under the bed!

Lucky for him, they called the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) and brought him right to us for care.

After speaking with one of their board certified veterinary toxicologists, we initiated treatment to help Otis in case he ingested any tablets that weren't found.

We induced vomiting with a fast-acting, safe medication, administered the reversal once his tummy was empty, and then administered a special form of liquid charcoal that binds to the toxins that may still be in the GI tract.

We also made sure to run bloodwork on him to establish a baseline - a very important part of monitoring for the effects of toxins on the kidneys, liver, and more.

Otis was an absolute superstar and gobbled up all of his charcoal with a little bit of treats mixed in, which we always love to see!

We hope you're feeling much better Otis! Thanks for being a champ! 🏆

If you believe your pet may have ingested something toxic, please contact Pet Poison Control right away and bring them on over to us at - because 🐾

🚪 Calm the chaos - If your pet gets nervous with all the doorbell ringing, set them up in a quiet room with their favorite toy.
🦴 Keep costumes comfy - If your pet's not into dressing up, a festive collar works just as well!
