Additional Biggie update video (since FB wouldn't let us add a video to the photos on the last part). Using his repaired leg from day 1, like a champ! When on slick surfaces, we do use a sling to catch him if he slips in falls. A fall during recovery could be disastrous.

Biggie update: our sweet little boy is doing excellent so far! Tomorrow will be 2 weeks out from surgery. 4 to 6 more weeks of healing time before we know for sure if the fracture is healing correctly, but so far, so good! If you would like to donate any funds for Biggie's care, give us a call, stop by the hospital, or utilize our venmo to help.

Not only is kitten season upon us, but kit season as well. Fox vixens often move their kits multiple times throughout spring and summer. They will often build their dens closer to civilization as a protective measure against coyotes that will raid their dens and kill all the babies. Please give our local wild neighbors their space to raise their young in peace.

Meet Raggedy Ann! While Biggie has been getting all of the attention, this little lady was found as a stray and was badly in need of significant dental care. Dr. Davis performed her dental today, and in a few days her mouth will be much happier! We have started her vaccines, and Miss Raggedy Ann needs a soft lap to land in….could it be yours? She is sweet and loving, we have no clue how old she is, and she still needs to be spayed and her vaccine series completed. If you would like to donate to Raggedy Ann’s care, please call the clinic during normal business hours at 919.258.3349, or donate via Venmo at Do you think you have the perfect home for Miss Raggedy Ann?

Over the past couple of years, we have been working hard to make leptospirosis vaccination part of our core vaccines and to help get as many pets vaccinated as possible. We have had several patients contract this disease over the past two or three years and at least one owner was exposed and treated for that exposure.
In July and August of 1942, 40 soldiers contracted what was originally called fort Bragg fever and later identified as a strain of leptospirosis. The source of the outbreak was thought to be one of the swimming holes that many of the soldiers frequented. The story that we are told in veterinary school is that the army doctors were initially perplexed as to the cause of the soldier's symptoms.Maj. W.S. Gochenour, an army veterinarian, was crucial in the isolation and identification of the spirochet b.acteria known as leptospirosis

"The most important thing is this is what we call a zoonotic disease meaning it affects dogs and people so if your dog gets it, you’re much more likely to get it yourself," said Dr. Melanie Bizzarro of Harmony Vet Care. Full story >> https://wfts.tv/4j0EXt9

UPDATE: Covered!!!! SOS! Can anyone help transport sweet Biggie Smalls to Wilmington this evening (from Small Animal Emergency in Vass)?? The surgery team at Eastern Carolina Veterinary Hospital is hoping to have him there this evening in case they can squeeze him in tomorrow!!!

UPDATE: We have estimates for approximately $9000 between weekend monitoring at Vass and his surgery on Monday, which will happen in Wilmington. Thank you so much for considering donating to his care CVH family!!!

Fabulous CVH family, handsome Biggie needs your help! His owner brought him in after being hit by a car. Despite loving him very very much, surgical repair or amputation was out of their budget, so they surrendered Biggie to us. We have currently stabilized Biggie and are watching him round the clock with the help of Small Animal Emergency in Vass, while trying to find an orthopedic surgeon that can correct his broken femur, and the funds to have the surgery done. We would greatly appreciate any donations to our Good Samaritan Fund to help Biggie. Please call the office during normal business hours to donate at 919.258.3349, or donate via Venmo at . Once he’s fully recovered, he will be looking for a furever home….while that’s still a ways down the road, could it be yours?

For those of you who were here in 2011 understand the heartbreak and devastation when a tornado rips through your community. Dr Davis saw a neighbor's home lifted off the ground and disappear (thankfully no one was home) when they tornado ripped through Sanford and up through Holly Springs. Some of what is left of our Western North Carolina donations in the trailer will likely be heading east in the immediate future to assist with tornado relief. The remainder of the supplies will be heading up to the mountains mid April when Dr Davis will head back up to the mountains to continue helping with rebuilding homes.
If anyone's interested in assisting with rebuild efforts, please contact Rise Disaster Relief & Recovery, Inc. directly.

This handsome feral fella was trapped on CVH property, where he’s been hanging out for a while, scanned for a chip (there wasn’t one), neutered, rabies vaccinated, ear tipped and will be released tomorrow, after sleeping off his anesthesia. He was quite a bear to deal with, so we have dubbed him King Richard. If you would like to make a donation to the Good Samaritan fund on behalf of King Richard, please call the office during normal business hours at 919.258.3349. You can also donate via Venmo at
