👀 See those white shapes within the red circle? Those are bladder stones in a dog's bladder!

Bladder stones can form for a variety of reasons: ph imbalance, excess bacteria (UTI), overabundance of minerals, and even genetics. 💦 When these stones form, your pet may exhibit painful urination, blood in the urine, frequent accidents, or even a life-threatening blockage if left untreated. The stones pictured are quite large, but some can be a lot smaller and can travel to the urethra causing a urinary blockage.

The good news? It's treatable! Surgery is the only way to remove bladder stones. But with diet changes and close monitoring of your pet's urinary habits we can help to greatly reduce the chances of recurrence.

Meet Agnes 💕

Back in July, Agnes developed a fever, stopped eating, became lethargic, and began hiding. Despite supportive care with antibiotics, pain medication, and close monitoring, she continued to decline—losing weight and energy.

Her dedicated owner pursued every diagnostic step we recommended, and together we arrived at the difficult diagnosis of FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). For many years, FIP was considered a fatal disease in cats.

In August, we began Agnes on a new treatment for FIP, and the results have been remarkable. Over the past few months, she has steadily improved—she’s eating and drinking well, is active again, and has regained her lost weight. Her owner shared that she’s “back to doing cat things,” and we couldn’t be happier to see her thriving once more.

We’re so proud of Agnes’ progress and grateful to her owner for trusting us throughout this journey. Stories like hers remind us how far veterinary medicine has come and how much hope there is for cats facing this once-devastating disease. 🐾

On occasion we still hear "I normally stop giving my dog their heartworm prevention in the winter months. This is okay, right?". The answer is NO, and here's why ⬇:

🔹 Most species of mosquitoes go dormant in winter months. But in areas where milder winters occur (like in our area) and temperatures are warmer for several days, mosquitoes can actually wake up and previously laid eggs can hatch.
🔹 Prevention works by killing larvae from the previous month’s bites, so stopping it leaves a dangerous gap in protection.

Your pet’s health is worth it 💙 — stay consistent and protected with year-round prevention!

📞 Call us today if you need a refill or have questions about your pet’s prevention.

🎉🐾 Say hello to Teddy, one of our newest little patients! This adorable Chihuahua puppy came in for his very first visit, and we’re already smitten. 💛

Can you guess how much Teddy weighs? 🐶
Drop your guesses in the comments, closest guess without going over wins bragging rights!

Fun facts about tiny pups like Teddy:
✅ Chihuahuas are one of the smallest dog breeds in the world
✅ Regular vet visits from puppyhood help keep them healthy
✅ Their small size means they have unique care needs, such as paying close attention to their dental health.

We can’t wait to watch Teddy grow—let the guessing begin! 🎉

🐾💜 Double the cuteness, double the recovery! These two sweet girls came in for their spays and are now resting comfortably in their recovery suits (think of them like a soft onesie for pets).

Spaying offers lifelong benefits, including:
✅ Preventing unwanted litters
✅ Lowering the risk of mammary and ovarian cancers
✅ Protecting against serious infections like pyometra

And those adorable suits? They’re more than just cute!
👕 Protect the incision site from licking or chewing
😌 Keep pets more comfortable than the traditional cone
🏡 Make recovery at home easier for both pets and owners

We’re so proud of these girls for being such wonderful patients—and we can’t wait to see them thrive as they heal!

⚠ Why do we recommend yearly Heartworm Testing if your pet is on monthly prevention? Here’s why:

✔️ Missed or late doses – Even one late or skipped dose can leave your pet unprotected.
✔️ Spit up or vomit – Sometimes pets don’t fully swallow or absorb the medication.
✔️ Product failure is rare, but possible – No medication is 100%.
✔️ Early detection saves lives – Heartworm disease can be devastating, but catching it early makes treatment safer and more effective.

Think of testing as a safety net 💉— it ensures your pet’s prevention is working and keeps them healthy for years to come.

⚠️ In today's world, just a click of a button can quickly connect us to thousands of people, ideas and information. But not everything you see online is true, or even accurate for that matter. This is why listening to "influencers" about your pet's health can be dangerous (especially when these people have no medical background). Relying on influencers for information regarding your pet's health instead of a veterinary professional can put your pet at serious risk, and here's why ⬇:

🐶 Online advice has a tendency to be "generalized" and not tailored to your pet's specific needs
🐱 Some "natural" and "home remedies" can actually be toxic. That's why it's important to have guidance from a veterinary professional to help you if this is the route you'd prefer to go.
🐶 If your pet suffers from an illness and is already on medications and you're "influenced" to try something you saw online, it has the potential to interact with current medications, or make your pet's condition worse.
🐱 Avoiding veterinary care and relying on online advice can delay treatment and make your pet's condition/illness worse when it could have been avoided

Your pet's health is too important to take advice from unverified sources. If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding your pet's health, or are interested in a product you saw online - please, give us a call. It's why we're here!

🚨 Pet Poison Alert: What to Do if Your Pet Eats Something Toxic 🚨

If your dog or cat swallows something they shouldn’t — don’t wait for symptoms.
Toxins can cause serious illness or even be life-threatening within hours. And, some toxins can actually cause more harm coming back up than staying in the stomach, which is why vets sometimes say “Do NOT induce vomiting” in certain cases.
