Our clients with dogs on Librela have continued to be so happy with the results!

Back in December, Harvey, pictured here, was hesitant to go downstairs and had to be picked up entirely to get into the car. Dr. Smith started him on Librela and cold laser therapy; he improved significantly in less than two weeks and now readily goes down the stairs and only needs a little boost to get into the car.

Your dog may be silently suffering from OA pain, only giving you small indicators with slight changes in behavior. Harvey's owner noticed he was having issues climbing onto the couch, which led him to bring Harvey in.

If you think your dog is suffering from OA pain, Librela is an amazing option, especially when coupled with regular cold laser therapy. Some of our clients are seeing significant improvement in their dog within a few days!

Please don't hesitate to schedule an appointment to consult on how we can help your dog feel better!

We also recommend every dog owner complete the OA checklist and forward the results to [email protected]: https://www.zoetispetcare.com/.../osteoarthritis-checklist

April is Heartworm Awareness Month. In 2023, 1 in 100 dogs tested positive for heartworm.

Routine heartworm testing and prevention are so important to your pet's health. Preventatives range from monthly chewables and topicals to yearly injections.

If your dog is not on a heartworm preventative or you aren't sure when your last heartworm test was, please contact us so we can help keep your dog happy and healthy!

Little Frankie came in yesterday with a broken nail. After removing the nail, we wanted to make sure it would heal properly so he went home in a fashionable recovery boot!

02/22/2024

We have seen so many patients benefit from cold laser therapy!

Cold laser therapy reduces pain and swelling while speeding up the healing process by increasing circulation and releasing endorphins. We recommend it for pets with chronic pain, ear infections, wounds from trauma (including self-induced like licking and biting at the skin) and so many other medical concerns.

If you think your pet may benefit, please give us a call or send us an email!

Our clients who have started their dogs on Librela have been so happy with the results so we've made one of our goals in 2024 to raise awareness about OA pain!

Your dog may be silently suffering from OA pain, only giving you small indicators with slight changes in behavior. Harvey's owner noticed he was having issues climbing onto the couch, which led him to bring Harvey in.

If you think your dog is suffering from OA pain, Librela is an amazing option, especially when coupled with regular cold laser therapy. Some of our clients are seeing significant improvement in their dog within a few days!

Please don't hesitate to schedule an appointment to consult on how we can help your dog feel better!

Yesterday, Butters had an oral procedure done and, while under anesthesia, we removed a few small masses that had been bothering him. After we got him fitted for his recovery suit, which we generally prefer to the "cone of shame" to keep patients from licking at their sutures, we just had to do a quick photo shoot.

Isn't Butters looking super handsome??

Back in December, Harvey came to us because he was moving slower and struggling with stairs. Harvey is a known couch potato so his owner was concerned when Harvey was no longer climbing onto the couch and instead opting to lay on the ground.

Like so many other cats and dogs, Harvey is suffering from osteoarthritis. Pets can be quite skilled at masking pain so slight behavior changes are the only hit that they need some help.

Harvey now is on a treatment plan of pain medication, weekly cold laser therapy treatments, and monthly Librela injections. This combination has Harvey moving faster, feeling better, and...yes, he is back on the couch at home!

Harvey's owner said that the improvement in his mobility and quality of life has been immense, and he is so happy to see Harvey doing better!

Even if you don't think your pet could be suffering from osteoarthritis pain, we recommend completing the quick checklist linked below. Once you get your results, please forward them to [email protected] so we can add them to your record.

If you think your pet may benefit from being examined for osteoarthritis, please contact us to make an appointment! There are great options for helping your pet, and we'd love to discuss them with you.

No animal is too small to receive Jewell Animal Hospital's amazing veterinary care! Yesterday, we removed a mass from handsome hamster Patches.

Last week, his owner brought him in because the mass had been growing for a couple of months and was really starting to bother him. Patches had a 3 cm by 3 cm mass on his left lateral thorax that he was clearly scratching at. After discussing options, it was decided to remove the mass.

Patches was the perfect patient. We checked in this morning, and his owner reports he is doing well and eating normally! We're so happy to hear he seems more comfortable already.

We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your pet's life and thank Patches' owner for trusting us with his care. Speedy recovery, Patches!
