Happy birthday to our fearless leader, Dr. Hillyard! 🥳 He's one of the best bosses, friends and veterinarians around... he loves a good foot race, dad jokes and all the pranks. We're so grateful for him and hope he has the best day being celebrated!

PS- Sorry you have to work on your birthday. You should have asked your boss for the day off.

Our latest newsletter is all about vaccines! Give it a read (or just scroll to the bottom and read the summary if you're short on time! 😉)

“As many of us know, vaccines are an essential part of keeping our furry critters healthy. But could you tell me what they protect against? That’s a bit of a harder question! Here at Summer Street Animal Clinic…”

We're wrapping up another orthopedic week at the clinic with Dr. Teachout... and it's been a busy one! 🐾

We've done...
-10 TPLO surgeries (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy)
-1 MPL (medial patella luxation)
-2 fracture repairs
-4 other types of orthopedic surgeries (pin removals and plate removals)

We love that we are able to help so many patients get back on their feet (literally!) and chasing down those tennis balls again! It's such a great feeling to watch our patients go from painful limping to walking and running like normal again -- it's truly awesome and so rewarding to be a part of it! ❤️

Here's some great information from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) about Leptospirosis and why we strongly recommend all dogs be vaccinated for it. 🐾

Spring is here! And with that comes a warning about Leptospirosis, a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria.

All dogs are at risk of leptospirosis, regardless of age, breed, lifestyle, geographic location, time of year, and other factors. The following situations can increase that risk:

➡Exposure to or drinking from slow-moving or stagnant water sources, like ponds, rivers, lakes, or streams
➡ Roaming on rural properties (because of exposure to potentially infected wildlife or farm animals or urine-contaminated water sources)
➡ Exposure to wild animals (especially rodents) or farm animals, even if in the backyard
➡ Contact with other dogs (such as in urban areas, dog parks, or boarding or training facilities)
