Dr. Chastain castrated these two cute fellas for Nigel Cummins in Havana this week! They recovered well and are back out with their herd, although Churro is a bit unhappy about the situation compared to his buddy Oliver 😆🤷🏼‍♀️. Now all they have to worry about is food!!

You have probably heard the term “dog breath,” but did you know that stinky breath in dogs and cats could be a symptom of a bigger problem? Dental disease is one of the most common conditions seen in pets. Plaque (a mixture of bacteria and food particles) forms on teeth shortly after eating and within 24 hours turns to tartar (mineral and bacteria). This concrete-like substance causes inflammation of the gums which leads to oral pain and the potential for more serious issues like tooth root abscesses. Once tartar forms, the only way to remove it effectively is with a dental scaler while your pet is under general anesthesia.

Here are some ways to prevent tartar build up:

✨ The most effective way is daily brushing with an enzymatic toothpaste made for pets.
✨ Dental treats with the VOHC seal of approval
✨ Diets specifically formulated for dental healthy such as Hill’s Oral Care or t/d

🎃 Happy Howl-o-ween from Thomasville Animal Hospital! 🐾

Our team had a spook-tacular time dressing up and celebrating Halloween with our furry friends today — we love bringing smiles (and maybe a few tail wags) to our clinic! 👻🐶🐱

While you’re enjoying the fun tonight, don’t forget to keep your pets safe:
🦴 No tricks, no treats (for pets!) – Chocolate and many candies, especially those containing xylitol, can be toxic to animals.
🎭 Costumes should be comfy – Make sure your pet can move, breathe, and see easily if they’re dressed up.
🚪 Keep a close eye on the door – Frequent visitors or trick-or-treaters can be stressful for pets or lead to accidental escapes.
🕯️ Watch out for decorations – Wires, candles, and fake cobwebs can pose hazards if curious paws get too close.

Wishing everyone a safe, fun, and frightfully good Halloween!
From your friends at Thomasville Animal Hospital 🧡

🐴 A Splint Bone Success Story!

This handsome 12-year-old Quarter Horse gelding presented to Dr. Cooley for evaluation after his owner noticed swelling and soreness in his left hind leg. He has a bit of a reputation for kicking the stall walls, and that habit likely led to a fracture of his lateral splint bone — one of the small bones that runs along the cannon bone.

After confirming the diagnosis with radiographs, Dr. Cooley discussed treatment options with the owner, and together they decided that surgery to remove the fractured segment would give him the best chance for a smooth and comfortable recovery.

Surgery went beautifully, and post-operative radiographs showed the fractured piece was completely removed. Two weeks later, at his recheck, he was healing great and moving comfortably — we’re so pleased with his progress!

We’ll see him again around 45 days post-surgery to check on continued healing, and if everything looks good, he’ll be ready to return to training about 60 days after surgery.

We love helping our equine patients get back to feeling their best — even the ones who occasionally kick their stalls a little too

🎉 Congratulations, Sara! 🎉

We’re so excited to celebrate our visiting extern student from the University of Georgia, Sara Parker Ware, on completing her 3-week externship with Thomasville Animal Hospital! 🐾💙

Sara has been such a joy to have on our team — her kindness, curiosity, and love for animals have made a wonderful impression on everyone here. And as you can see, she made a special friend during her time with us… meet Spanky! 🐶💛

Spanky is a lovable rescue pup from Red Road Rescue who’s been staying with us while he searches for his forever home. He’s full of personality, loves everyone he meets, and totally stole Sara’s heart (and ours too!). 🩷

When reflecting on her time here, Sara shared:

“My externship at Thomasville Animal Hospital has been such a rewarding experience. The doctors and technicians have provided invaluable mentorship that strengthened my technical skills, diagnostic reasoning, client communication and much more. I’m so grateful for the supportive environment and the lessons I’ll carry forward into my veterinary career.”

We’re so proud of you, Sara, and can’t wait to see all you’ll accomplish in your veterinary career! 🩺✨

And if Spanky’s sweet smile has caught your eye — he’s still looking for his forever home through Red Road Rescue! Please reach out to us if you are interested! 🏡❤️

🩺 Why Pre-Anesthetic Blood Work Matters: Spook’s Story 🐾

This is Spook — a sweet soul who was scheduled for a TPLO surgery for his torn cruciate ligament. Prior to anesthesia, we ran pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure it was safe to proceed.

We’re so glad we did.

🔬 The results revealed something we couldn’t see on the outside: Spook had dangerously low platelets — the blood cells responsible for clotting. Surgery under these conditions could have led to life-threatening bleeding. 😔

Further testing confirmed a diagnosis of Evan’s Syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that destroys both red blood cells and platelets.

Thanks to the bloodwork, we were able to:
✅ Postpone surgery before any risk was taken
✅ Start life-saving immunosuppressive treatment
✅ Get Spook on the road to recovery safely

💊 Today, Spook is doing great at home, his condition is under control, and he’s now tapering off his medications. Surgery is on hold for now — and his health is our top priority.

🧪 This is exactly why we never skip pre-anesthetic testing. It’s not “just another box to check” — it can truly save lives.
