🐶🐾ATTN PUPPY LOVERS🐾🐶

This sweet, loving puppy named Gator is looking for his forever home as soon as possible. He and his 2 siblings were found in a garbage bag and rescued.

He’s 23 weeks old, house broken, up to date on vaccines and already neutered. He’s got a lot of energy and would do great with another puppy or kids.

Please call us for more details!!

Did you know that we work with the local Beachside High School and their Vet Academy? Earlier this year, several students interned with us to be able to shadow and learn from our hospital and resort team. One of them stood out significantly, and that’s Carissa.

Carissa did so well interning with us, that we hired her on for the summer. Some of you may have met her! This week, after school started back, Carissa had to give a presentation of what she experienced and learned while being part of the Sandbridge team and our vet tech, Hillary joined her for that presentation.

We are so proud of Carissa and all that she’s accomplished this summer and we are so thrilled to be able to have her continue as part of the Sandbridge team!

Katie the kitty came into the clinic this week not feeling too great. After a thorough exam from Dr Bissell, she was given some subcutaneous fluids and an antibiotic injection. She’s on her way to a full recovery 🐱😊

Bruno is a rescue who came to see Dr Bissell because of an ear infection. He has seen Dr Bissell for years. His initial vet visits were very stressful for him. With a lot of work on his parent’s part, over time he has learned to trust Dr. Bissell and allowed him to do a thorough physical and otoscopic exam. We are thankful for our wonderful patients and clients. Here’s to feeling better ASAP

Little Shilo wasn’t feeling too good over the weekend, so she and her paw-rents made a quick trip up to Sandbridge Veterinary Center. After we ran a urinalysis, we found she had a urinary tract infection. Dr Bissell prescribed some antibiotics and lots of hugs and Shilo was on her way to feeling better.

Even though she was feeling under the weather, you wouldn’t know it by that smile!

🔥Warm weather is the perfect time to get outside and walk your dog. But, wow, has this summer been HOT so far! 🔥

✨With temperatures rising over 100° F🔥, outdoor surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, dirt, and sand soak up the summer sun for hours and hours each day. Ground temperatures can reach well over 145° F after exposure to a full day of direct sunlight. ✨

☀️Here are a few tips to keep your dog’s paws safe during the summer heat:
✨Walk your dog early in the morning or in the evening when the sun is setting, and the ground has had some time to cool down.🥵

✨Test to see if the pavement or other surface you’re walking on is too hot by placing a bare hand or foot on the ground for 15 seconds. If you are unable to hold your hand there for the full time, then it is too hot to walk your dog.🎯

✨Take your walk at a park or somewhere where you can remain on grass a majority of the time.🌿

✨If your dog has been in the water, their paws may be more sensitive to hot surfaces after swimming.💦

🌞Summer Safety Tips🌞

Dogs can overheat quickly in the summer because they can't sweat like humans and instead rely on panting and their paw pads to release heat. Overheating can lead to heat exhaustion, heat stroke, or even sudden death.

Some signs of overheating include:
✨Panting: Fast, noisy breathing is a sign that your dog is trying to cool off.
✨Drooling: Increased drooling can be a sign of heat stroke or dehydration
✨Gums: Dry, pale, or sticky gums can indicate overheating or heat stroke. Red gums can also be a sign of heat stroke, especially if they feel warm to the touch.
✨Other signs: Other signs of overheating include vomiting, diarrhea, glazed eyes, disorientation, collapsing, convulsing, and uncoordinated movement.

Very sweet, young female cat looking for a new home. She was found about 2 weeks ago outside a convenience store after her kittens were taken from her. She has been to the vet once and is negative for feline leukemia and has had first round rabies and distemper as well as a dewormer and a flea and tick treatment. Appears to be under 1 years old and is possibly pregnant as her belly has grown since the vet appointment but the rest of her has remained slimmed down. She is not a fan of dogs and would do bet in a cat only or even better only animal home. She has met our cat but does not seem to appreciate of shared attention. She is a polydactyl cat and has extra toes on every foot. So far, her favorite past time is snuggling up to a person's face and chest and remaining there for hours. We unfortunately just have too many dogs for her to be comfortable and she deserves a very good home after being dumped from her last one. She is scheduled with a follow up visit on the 23rd of this month for more shots. If you're interested in meeting this cutie please PM us, and we will get you connect with the owner!
