We are open today, but if you are unable to come in please stay home! If you need to reschedule you can send a text to the appointment confirmation text you recieved yesterday. Our receptionist wasn't able to make it in, so we are short staffed with just our doctor and tech. Our tech will be running the front and back so please be patient. You may experience busy signals on the phone as she is probably in the room with appointments. Please stay home if you can! Stay safe!

🐾Valued Clients🐾

We are currently full on surgeries for the rest of the year, excluding surgeries for emergency purposes. We are also very limited in our regular routine appointments. We try to keep a few slots open for sick or emergency patients to come in same day, but those get filled up pretty quick once the day starts. We are unable to do walk-ins. If your pet is having an issue, please call in to see if we are able to take them on. If we are unable to, we will try to help point you in the right direction for the best place to go. If you are needing medications refilled please try to call 24 hours ahead so we can make sure to have them ready when you come in. We only have one receptionist, one doctor, and one technician. We appreciate those who have been patient and understanding with us. We want to make sure we are able to provide the best service and care for you and your pet. 🐾

Thanksgiving is a time for friends, family and holiday feasts—but can also be a very hectic day. With so much going on, curious pets often find a way to snoop where they shouldn’t, so it’s important to keep them top of mind while giving thanks.

-Just a Taste: Make sure you are mindful of the ingredients and spices in your food as well. Onions and garlic are both prevalent in a lot of Thanksgiving dishes and can be toxic to pets. Bouillon cubes used for making stocks and gravy contain high amounts of sodium which can lead to gastrointestinal problems and even seizures.

-Don’t Forget to Take Out the Trash: This may be the last thing on your mind while trying to keep up in the kitchen, but your garbage can fill up with bones, chocolate, onions and plenty of other holiday hazards mentioned above. Try to remember to empty your trash throughout the day so that curious pets don’t get into trouble. Or, do your best to keep your pet out of the area where the trash is.

-Feed Them Pet-Friendly Food Options Instead: While the list of foods to avoid might seem overwhelming, there are a few great options for some pet-friendly Thanksgiving treats. Raw fruits and vegetables like baby carrots, green beans, apples, chunks of sweet potato, or pumpkin puree (not the sweetened, spiced pie filling) are great options.

Everyone at RVC hopes that you have a wonderful SAFE Thanksgiving this year. We are closed tomorrow and will be open Friday and Saturday our regular hours. For emergencies call our number and it will transfer to our emergency service in Mt. Sterling. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃

Dear valued clients:
We want to take a moment to inform you that Dr. Pollitt will be leaving our practice. His last day will be on December 31st. Dr. Pollitt didn't make this decision lightly, and would like to thank everyone for their trust in him and support over the years.
Dr. Pollitt has been an integral part of our team, providing exceptional care to our patients and their families since 2002. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and expertise he has brought to our practice over the years. While we are saddened to see Dr. Pollitt go, we understand and support his decision and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
As of right now we will not be taking on new clients. Any new clients can contact our sister clinic, Mt. Sterling Veterinary Clinic. The Rushville clinic plans to stay open after January 1st for medication dispensing, product, and to pick up patient records or to let us know where you would like them sent. We will make sure to keep everyone up to date with any new information we recieve on the plans for the clinic in the future. Thank you for understanding and your patience as we move forward.
Thank you Dr. Pollitt for the memories the past 23 years! We will miss you! 🐾

🐾Animal Pain Awareness Month🐾

A simple first step to help your pets with joint pain or arthritic changes is to offer them a joint supplement! There are many joint supplements on the market so it may be difficult to choose one! Today we will highlight our go to for dogs. We highly recommend Dasuquin with MSM! This product is available in tablets or chewable form to allow you to choose what is best for your dog. Here at the clinic we offer the tablets in all sizes, but can order chewable if needed! If your dog is having a hard time getting up off the floor, going up the stairs, and moving a little slower than normal, give us a call and we can set a bottle to the side for you! 🐕🐾

Today is National Pet Bird Day! Rahjah is celebrating by showing off his carrot/peas he's saving for later on his beak! 😋 Rahjah is a 20 year old African Grey, who you may see (and hear) while at your pet's visit. Brandy is his caretaker/chauffer around the clinic! He tolerates the others if they have treats in hand. 😉 If you have a pet bird, show us in the comments! 🦜🐦🦆🐣🐓

Winnie is BACK! Thank you to Jeff Zeeck for keeping an eye out for her! Brandy recieved a call from her mom this morning that Jeff possibly saw her behind one of his sheds by the bean field. She went out there and Jeff showed her the spot where he saw a cat hanging around. Once they pulled up the cat ran into the bean field, so Brandy started calling for Winnie and she could hear meows, but thought it sounded more like a kitten. Once she got closer to the edge Winnie popped her head out and gladly wanted to be picked up! So we now have our other three legged monster back! Thanks to everyone who shared and watched for her, but the search is over now! Thanks again Jeff!
