If you’re ever worried about your pet being under anesthesia, worry no longer!

Every surgery/dental has a skilled vet tech monitoring everything including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and temperature, to ensure everything is going well while the doctor performs surgery.

Our techs are our superheroes, so be sure to thank them when you see them! Happy tech week!🐾

It’s tech week!!

Sometimes it takes a few more technicians and assistants to make the blood draw go smoothly, please enjoy these photos of a wiggly blood draw that needed a couple extra hands!

Mountain View is so lucky to have so many hard working technicians and assistants, we decided to highlight them this week. Leave a shoutout in the comments for your favorite technician/assistant!

Time for kitty vaccines!😸

Kitten vaccines are a little more simple so let’s dive in:

FVRCP: this is an important core vaccine that protects against a slew of diseases our feline friends are at risk of contracting. This vaccine is started anywhere from 6-8 weeks with revaccination every 3-4 until 16 weeks of age.

Rabies: another core vaccine started at 12 weeks with no booster needed!

FeLV: optional vaccine that is based on lifestyle/environment. If you plan for your kitten to be an outside cat/barn cat, you should consider this vaccine. We also recommend an FeLV test prior to vaccination, to ensure your kitty doesn’t not already have the disease. After the initial vaccine, you will need to return for one booster, 3-4 weeks later, then annually.

Please enjoy a few pictures of some of our favorite fuzzy friends!🐾

Let’s talk about vaccines!💉

Puppy vaccines can get a little confusing, so let’s break it down:

Core vaccines that every pup gets:
🐾Distemper/Parvo- started between 6-8 weeks, with a booster every 4 weeks until 16 weeks of age.
🐾Rabies- can be started as early as 12 weeks with no booster needed.

Optional vaccines based on lifestyle and environment:
🐾Bordetella- can be started as early as 8 weeks, consider this vaccine if you plan to board/groom, go to doggy daycare/dog parks, or if you plan to be around other pups who do go to these places.
🐾Leptospirosis- can be started as early as 8 weeks, consider this vaccine if you know your puppy will be exposed to stagnant water (ex: puddles, ponds) where urine from an infected animal can be found. Ranch dogs and hunting dogs are most at risk.
🐾Rattlesnake- can be started at 16 weeks of age or older, consider if you plan to be hunting or hiking a lot with your four legged friend!

Special thanks to Flo Newton for being such a good patient for her final puppy vaccines!🐶

It is with many emotions that I announce after 11 years at Mountain View Veterinary Hospital, I am embarking on a new chapter in my veterinary career. My last day at MVVH will be Friday August 30th.

Dr. Pelissier and Dr. Newton have been great mentors. I’ve been privileged to work alongside amazing technicians, receptionists, assistants, and office managers, not to mention Dr. Bialek and Dr. Kobold. I’ve formed friendships and connections with so many wonderful clients, people and pets. I truly have a lot to be grateful for, mostly for all the trust, patience and kindness you all have shown to me over the years.

At the end of the month, I will be completing my year and a half journey to gain a certification in Veterinary Hospice and Palliative Care. I have many clients to thank for showing me the importance of our pets in our lives, especially once a life limiting diagnosis is made and the importance of navigating these times. This certification is just another piece of my growth journey.

Though my days won’t be spent at MVVH, I’m not going anywhere. I’ve wrestled with this decision for quite some time and decided there was no better time than now to take the leap and begin my own veterinary business. After 15 years as a veterinarian I can truly say I love what I do and don’t see myself doing anything else. Sheridan is home to me, Oakley, Hadden and Moorea and there is no other place we would rather be. Thank you for 11 great years at MVVH! It's been an honor caring for your pets and getting to know each one of you.

Dr. Amber Ingersoll

The Sheridan County Public Health and the Wyoming Department of Health are advising residents that human cases of tularemia or “rabbit fever” are above average for this time of year. As of June 28th, 2024, Sheridan County has reported 6 confirmed human cases of tularemia.

Wild animal hosts for the bacteria that causes tularemia include cottontail, jackrabbits, rodents, and beavers. However, dogs and cats can be infected and transmit the disease. The most common arthropod vectors for the bacteria include the wood tick, the dog tick, and the deer fly.

While cats are more susceptible to tularemia than dogs, they can both become infected, as well as humans, by the below methods:
-A bite from an infected tick or deer fly
-Bites or scratches from other predators with contaminated teeth or claws
-Ingesting contaminated water or consuming contaminated animal meat
-Inhalation of the organism by breathing contaminated dust particles
-Mowing or clearing areas with infected animal carcasses
-Skin contact with infected animals or an infected carcass (predominantly rabbits, rodents, or hares)

Clinical disease in cats can vary from mild to fatal. Dogs can develop mild, self-limiting disease. Brief episodes of anorexia, lethargy, and low-grade fever are typical. Other symptoms may include enlarged lymph nodes, enlarged spleen, enlarged liver, depression, dehydration, yellowing of skin or mucous membranes, abscesses, vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory signs, and oral ulceration. If your pet is experiencing these symptoms, please contact us at 307-674-4111. Please let us know if you are concerned about tularemia infection.

Symptoms of tularemia in humans depend on the route of infection and can include fever, swollen lymph nodes, muscle/body aches, skin ulcers, coughing, and/or pneumonia. If you are experiencing signs of sickness, please contact your healthcare provider. It is important to report any potential exposure to sick animals, dead animals, or tick bites to your healthcare provider if these symptoms are observed.

If you have further concerns, you may contact: SCPH PIO Edward Hinzman at [email protected] or 307-672-5169.
