Osteoarthritis Pain in Cats
🐾 Did you know 60% of cats 6 years and older experience osteoarthritis (OA) pain?
But it's not always easy to see whether cats are in pain - they are masters at hiding it!
🐾Check out the video below for examples of OA pain in cats, and try this interactive checklist: https://bit.ly/OAChecklist 🐈
You know your cat best! If you think your cat is showing signs of OA pain, give us a call and schedule an appointment to discuss OA management options!👍

Technician Week
Happy Veterinary Technician Week! We would like to thank our amazing group of technicians for the continuing care they provide to our patients. Thank you, Mike, Sheila, Mackenzie, Megan and Steffany!
Our Soggy Doggy is back up & running, now accepting dollar bills!
Do you guys remember this cutie (now named Boomer)? Well, he's still looking for a home, but unfortunately, we discovered that he is positive for heartworms. Our amazing clients that found him were so kind and footed the entire bill for his vaccines, neuter, and heartworm test, and now our tech Mackenzie is fostering him until he finds his new home. Heartworm disease is very serious, expensive, and takes a long time to treat. Whisker Stop in Rolla has been so generous to donate all of their monies raised from this event (Rolla Rockets Roller Derby match - see link below) to help pay for his treatment. Any cost of treatment not covered by their donation will be covered by our clinic’s Angel Fund.
Thank you so much to Whisker Stop, the Rolla Rockets, and everyone who has donated to Boomer’s treatment!
If you are interested in adopting Boomer, please send us a message or give us a call - we’d be happy to arrange a time for you to meet him!
