We have been seeing many cases of heat stroke here at the ER and Trenton Animal Hospital this summer, most we were able to treat but one became fatal this weekend. With the extreme heat we are having this summer it can be a matter of minutes before your dog’s temperature can reach critical levels. Brachycephalic breeds (think flatter muzzle) like bulldogs, French bulldogs, shih tzus, Boston terriers, etc) are at extra risk because their airways are compromised and dogs cool themselves primarily by panting not sweating like people.
If your dog does get overheated, get them someplace cool, offer water and apply a room temperature to luke warm bath. Never place an overheated animal in cold water or apply cold packs..this could leave to a severe medical condition called DIC. Body temperature should be gradually lowered while you contact your vet for immediate care. Here are a few tips to avoid heat stroke and signs your animal could be having trouble. Sadly the case we saw this weekend was caused by the power going out at the home and a failure of the power company to alert the owner. Make sure that you have alerts set on your phone with your power company
to alert you to power outages. Stay safe and COOL! Dr Hiers

Dear Clients and Friends,
I am very happy to announce that after 3 years of planning, designing, and construction our new urgent pet care facility Tricounty Veterinary Emergency Clinic is officially opening this evening at 5:00 pm! As the owners of Trenton Animal Hospital and Kanapaha Veterinary Services, Eric and I have seen the need for an after-hours veterinary hospital in our area over and over again through the years. Our goal was to find a location that would be central to all surrounding counties and to provide services at a more affordable cost than having to travel into Gainesville and visit the UF Small Animal Hospital.
So a little more about our new hospital..
Location: 7519 Fl-26, Trenton, Fl 32693 (just past papa's on the right as you are going to Newberry)
Phone: Next Monday our official number will be ported in which is 352-463-3535 but until then we have been issued a "temporary" number by ATT because they have been delayed so for the next few days you can reach us at 352-660-6028.
Email: [email protected]
Website: www.tricountyveter.com
Hours: Weekdays 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm; Saturday and Sunday 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm

How our new clinic will work:
We highly recommend that you reserve an appointment ahead of time by visiting our website and clicking on "Schedule and Appointment" on the home page. Appointment spots will be from 5:30-8:30 pm on weekdays and 2:30-7:00 pm on weekends. You can also call ahead or walk-in but pre-booked appointments will receive priority.
We also will be taking hospital transfers from other local clinics, as well as our own, for overnight observation and weekend care. A Veterinarian will not be on site after 10:00 pm on weekdays and 8:00 pm on weekends but we will have extremely qualified certified technicians monitoring hospitalized, stable patients overnight and weekend hours.
It is important to note that we only offer urgent/sick/trauma care so no "wellness" visits or vaccinations will be given so please do not book an appointment for these services.
Clients of Trenton Animal Hospital that have a patient admitted for overnight care will need to pick them up by 8 am the next morning to transfer back to Trenton Animal Hospital..we do not have staff at the premise several days a week. We will have staff to treat patients 24 hours on the weekends.

With the opening of the ER, Trenton Animal Hospital will no longer accept urgent work-ins/emergencies after 4:00 pm on weekdays and 11:00 am on Saturdays..you will be directed to the ER. Clients of Trenton Animal Hospital will have priority to be seen first at the ER. Due to this change Trenton Animal Hospital will be adjusting their CLOSING HOURS effective December 1, 2023 to 5:30 pm weekdays (is currently 6 pm) and 12:00 pm Saturdays (currently 1:00 pm).

IMPORTANT SURGERY LOCATION CHANGE-All surgeries booked for Trenton Animal Hospital on Mondays and Wednesdays will now be taking place at the new ER location at 7519 Fl-26, Trenton, Fl 32693. This will decrease traffic flow and parking issues at Trenton Animal Hospital on our heavy surgery days (including the 2 days a month we perform low cost spay and neuter through Fix Them All Organization). So, if you live closer to our ER please request to have surgery done on Monday or Wednesday. If you would prefer the Trenton Animal Hospital location please let our receptions know and you will be booked on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Last announcement! SAVE THE DATE! Sunday, December 17th we will be having an OPEN HOUSE at the new Tricounty Veterinary Emergency Clinic to show it off to the community. We have a lot of fun events planned! If you are on social media make sure to like and share our Facebook and/or Instagram pages to follow all important announcements!

We have hired an amazing staff (many will be familiar faces to you) and look forward to serving all of you!

Sincerely,
Dr. Allison Hiers

Our team is ready to provide expert care in case of a pet emergency. Our experienced team of veterinarians, vet technicians and support staff work closely together to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves.
