Kittens, kittens, kittens everywhere! We currently have 16 kittens in our care that are available for adoption. This is not an emergency rescue situation.

If you have been thinking to yourself "boy, what my life is really missing right now is a kitten", give the clinic a call and ask for Mary or Breanna. We are pretty sure we have one of any color you are looking for! This is just a sample of the cuteness in our care.

Update: Draco and Ursa were adopted!

Draco and Ursa are looking for their forever home. Draco is shy but can be handled easily. Ursa is more difficult but isn't aggressive. With time she may become more friendly.

Please contact our office immediately if you see any indications of vesicular stomatitis on any animals on your property. This is a highly contagious, zoonotic (means people get it to) disease and appropriate quarantine measures need to be put in place. You can follow the link below for more information.

Thank you!
SPVC

Vesicular Stomatitis Reported in California

Oregon Department of Agriculture
Multiple cases of concerning oral lesions and vesicles in horses that are consistent with vesicular stomatitis (VS) have been recently reported in Southern California, most concentrated in Riverside and San Diego Counties. The California State Veterinarian reported yesterday that several cases had been confirmed by the National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) as positive for VS.

The cases appear to be associated with vector movements in Southern California as a result of heavy winter rain and recent warming temperatures. It is unlikely that natural transmission will extend into Oregon, and CDFA is working hard to identify and quarantine all possible cases to prevent further spread, but it is possible that exposed or infected horses could end up in Oregon.

Please contact ODA immediately if you have suspicion of a VS case. Clinical signs include excessive salivation, vesicles (blister-like lesions), erosions or ulcerations around the mouth, nostrils, teats, and coronary bands. Specific samples must be collected for an accurate diagnosis, and as VS is highly contagious among susceptible species (primarily equids and cattle, but also camelids and small ruminants, and occasionally swine) as well as potentially zoonotic, we also want to ensure proper personal protective equipment and biosecurity measures are in place.

While VS is rarely fatal, it is highly contagious and can cause severe discomfort, and the lesions are clinically very similar to the devastating Foot and Mouth virus. Vector mitigation (specifically black fly control) is critical to containing a potential VS outbreak.

Additional outbreak information is available on the California Department of Food and Agriculture's VS website.

Xylazine is a safe, cost effective sedation drug that is critical to veterinary medicine. If it becomes reclassified as a controlled drug, manufacturers have signaled they may no longer produce it. This will be devastating to veterinary medicine, especially for our large animal care.

Please support keeping xylazine accessible for veterinary medicine!

Support the Combating Illicit Xylazine Act of 2023, which maintains veterinary access to the critical animal sedative while curtailing its illegal use.
