2 birthdays in one week?? WOOHOO🎉🎂

Please join us in wishing our Lead Kennel Tech, Ky, a very happy birthday!!

We’re so thankful to have such amazing, hardworking person on our kennel team. When she’s not out playing in the daycare yard with your pups, you can usually find her thoroughly making sure every meal is right and every chart is checked…oh, and probably somewhere giving some pups forehead kisses or boops on the snoots.

We love you, Ky! Have a wonderful birthday!

🚨Live ear mites — viewer discretion advised🚨

We had a kitten come in recently that had some itchy ears…turns out she had some Halloween creepy crawlers come early🪲 Although the ones in this video seem like they’re having fun, ear mites are no fun for any pet.

“Ear mites are microscopic parasites that usually take up residence in your cat’s ear canals, although the mites can spread to other parts of the body, including the neck, rear end, and tail area.
In the ear, the mites feed on your cat’s ear wax, skin flakes, and oils. The most common species of ear mite affecting cats and dogs is Otodectes cynotis. Ear mites are especially common in kittens, although cats of any age can contract ear mites. Although dogs can be affected by ear mites too, they are much more commonly seen in cats.

Ear mites are extremely contagious in cats, passing from animal to animal. Kittens often get ear mites from their mothers. Adult cats can pick up ear mites from other cats and even from dogs since the same type of ear mite affects many different species.
Outdoor cats are more likely to become infested with ear mites since they come in contact with other animals. Wild animals like raccoons and foxes can transmit ear mites to cats. Indoor cats, although at less risk, may develop ear mites if they are exposed to a cat or dog carrying the parasite.

While ear mites themselves are almost invisible to the naked eye, cats with ear mites exhibit a distinctive discharge. This discharge may be an early clue that you should have your veterinarian check your cat or kitten for ear mites.
Ear mite infestations have a characteristic dark, thick, smelly “ear gunk,” which consists of ear wax and debris. This debris contains live mites, dead mites, mite eggs, and dried blood. This brown, grainy discharge often resembles coffee grounds.
Some bacterial or yeast ear infections produce similar discharge, so confirmation of the presence of ear mites by your cat’s veterinarian is important for proper treatment. Your veterinarian will use a microscope to positively identify the mites.
If you’re curious, you can Google “pictures of ear mites in cats” for some images of cats with ear mites. Fair warning: ear mite infestations in cats are not pretty!
Ear mite infestations are extremely uncomfortable for your cat. The mites cause severe itching and pain. Some cats with severe, chronic infestations can even develop weight loss or neurologic symptoms.
Symptoms of ear mite infestation in cats include:
*Copious dark, bad-smelling debris in the ear
*Crusty or scabby ears
*Red, inflamed ears
*Bumps in the ears
*Scratching at the ears
*Head shaking
*Scratches and bleeding around the ears (self-inflicted)
*Hair loss
*Itching and scabbing on the neck, rear end, and tail areas
*Head tilt
*Aural hematoma (swelling of the ear flap due to a ruptured blood vessel)”

There are also many other reason that your pet could be experiencing these symptoms. Please see your veterinarian for any concerns.

We normally post about the pups….but we can’t leave out the cats, especially today!

Cats are known for being mischievous and having attitudes for days…while that may be true, they can be extremely loving, quite intuitive and just very sweet natured. So, we’re flooding your page today with some of our employee’s “ferocious” felines.

We’d like to wish you and your feline friend a Happy National Cat Day!🇺🇸🐱🐈🐈‍⬛

Lola here🎃 I’m taking over the social media today to make sure you follow some good safety rules for your pets!

🎃 Although I think the candy looks delicious, I don’t understand that it can be dangerous for me. Please make sure I can’t get into any, so you don’t have to make any sudden trip to go see my dad, Dr Bissell🎃

👻 I know I look fabulous in my cow costume, but I might get tired of it real quick. I could start chewing on it and eating pieces OR I could stress out because it’s a new thing and I’m not used to it being on me👻

🦇 There will be a lot of new sounds happening on Halloween…extra doorbell rings, knocks at the door, weird spooky sounds outside…I could get extra scared. Maybe find a nice quiet place in the house for me to curl up with my favorite toys and blankets and maybe even some calming music🦇

🎃 Decorations can look really cool…and sometimes really yummy. Make sure I don’t think it’s a snack. OR if it’s a big scary spiderweb, make sure I can’t get tangled in it…I don’t want to be a spider’s meal🎃

👻 Glow sticks look like a nice neon jelly snack to me…but my tummy won’t like it👻

🦇 If the door is open, I may want to go play with all the trick-or-treaters and get lost in the process. Make sure the door gets closed after each one comes by🦇

🎃 My mom and dad always make sure I have my collar on with my name and their phone number on it, in case the above tip happens. I also have a microchip and all of its information is linked to my paw-rents🎃

👻 Lastly, if they don’t have my size in the costume you want, please choose another one. Don’t assume I’ll fit in it. If my costume is too tight, even having it on for 5 minutes could cause some issues for my breathing👻

I hope these tips help! Remember to have a fun, safe and spooky Halloween! ~ Lola Bissell🐶

To just say thank you wouldn’t be enough for all of the gratitude we have for our clients and friends. To open a brand new clinic in a pretty competitive and up-n-coming area can be a daunting venture to take on, but we did it! It’s because of you, our amazing community, that we’ve been able to grow into the thriving business we are today. We’ve created so many heartfelt memories, built a wonderful team, grown in so many relationships with your pets and gained a lot of great new friends. Truly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts here at Sandbridge Veterinary Center. One year down and so many, many, MANY more to go. Happy One Year Anniversary! 🐶🐱🩺🐾

Thank you to everyone who donated for Hurricane Milton relief. We worked together with other local companies through this drive and, together, we were able to fill 7 trucks…that’s 52 pallets…that’s 78K lbs food, water and much needed home supplies collected! It’s truly amazing what can happen when a community comes together. Thank you, again, from the bottom of our hearts!

“The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets people to do the greatest things.” - Ronald Reagan

No offense to President Reagan, but he’s never met Dr Bissell!

While he does get all of us to do amazing things, Dr Bissell is the hardest working person that any of us know. He’s working even when he’s not in the office…reaching out to clients after hours to make sure your pets are doing ok. He is the most compassionate, selfless, amazing human being. He not only cares for his patients and clients, but he’s the best boss in the entire world. He’s always checking in with his team and asking sure they’re good before he even starts the day. There’s always a smile on his face and he tries to make sure everyone else has one too.

Please join us in giving a big ole thank you to the absolute best boss in the world for Boss’s Day!

We love you, Dr Bissell!

Vet tech:
(Noun)
- A highly skilled person who will care for animals until the end of time
- See also: teacher, phlebotomist, anesthesiologist, advocate, care giver, radiology tech, pharmacy tech, mediator, nutritionist, midwife, janitor, chin scratcher, mortician, dental hygienist, best friend, exterminator, groomer, playmate — and so much more!

We would absolutely not be where we are today without our amazing team of vet techs. These women go way above and beyond for the pets in our care. They come in early, stay late, do tasks that aren’t necessarily their “job”…and never complain! Vet techs go through emotional roller coasters daily. They sometimes have to go from a very emotional euthanasia appointment for a pet they’ve cared for a long time straight into a new puppy/kitten visit and give all the love they have there , as well. They are truly the glue that holds together the vet team.

Please join us in thanking these wonderful gals and wishing them a very Happy Vet Techs Week; Sam, Nikki, Hillary, Amy, Carissa and Elle! 🐶💙🐱
