We had the pleasure of helping Elsa on her vacation over the past few weeks. She is not only beautiful but has an amazing spirit as well! Her mom and dad are so devoted to making sure she stays in tip top shape (and spoiled oir team with a beatiful picture, card, and Duck Donuts) Elsa also has her own Instagram page that shows her journey!

Good morning! Unfortunately we have a confirmed case of Canine Influenza in our area. This is a very contagious respiratory disease among dogs. There is a vaccine available that is a 2 part series. Please contact us if you have any questions about your dog and Canine Influenza.

Many of you have read about the neglect case involving more than two dozen horses in Elizabeth City this past week. Janessa has graciously opened her farm to rehab two of these poor babies who have a long road to recovery.

Mayzzy was super excited about showing off her new scrubs her Auntie Daphne dropped off. Little did she now she got to visit her favorite dog trainer Becky with her newest addition, Nora! She then topped off her work day getting laser therapy for her arthritis from Eden! !

We are grateful for our friends at First Flight Veterinary Hospital and Mobile Services! Charlie woke up complaining that his back was sore. A call and a trip for some laser therapy is just what the doctor ordered. Praise! 🐾💙🙌🙏

Happy Saturday!

A friendly reminder-->our hospital will be closed July 4th. If your pet has firework phobias please contact us early next week if you are needing medication refills.

It also appears our 24 hour clinics may not be fully available this weekend. Late last night we tried to get a trauma patient transferred and the closest available at the time was Bay Beach Veterinary Emergency Hospital in Virginia Beach. We are still experiencing veterinary staffing issues across the board.

Stay safe (and cool) out there everyone!

Thank you isn’t enough! Our local friends, family, veterinary team, friends from afar, those that we do not know and those that we do….we couldn’t be more thankful for this village of amazing people that have been following Mama Avalon Eclipse and the story of her 7 pups! Those that adopted one of her pups and will be financially and physically providing each of them the most incredible lives ever…we are thankful! Those that came by, played with, cleaned, and loved on the pups, we are thankful! Those that donated money to First Flight Veterinary Hospital and Mobile Services for their care…and those that donated money directly to us for their care…we are thankful. To First Flight for doing all that they could to assist with their care and for providing the most amazing care, we are thankful! Those that have prayed and sent messages, we are thankful! Those that donated blankets, quilts and a dog kennel to raise the pups…we are thankful! For Friends of Washington County North Carolina Animal Shelter and Brenda….who believed in us and knew that we would do all that we could to save them…and follow them through….we are thankful! To Megan who took the ride to Plymouth and back…who didn’t back down when mama Avalon Eclipse was scared….and this OBX Boykin mama was too….we are thankful!

THANK YOU is not enough….BUT this is all that we know to do!

For those that assisted us and this 4-legged family….and we know who you are, we are compiling a list from our vet and those that we know personally…to send you an individual thank you. It truly means the world to us 🐾💙❤️

Friday we spent the morning helping community feral and stray kitties performing "TNRs" (Trap, Neuter & Release). For those unfamiliar with TNR, feral/stray cats are caught in humane traps, sedated and then anesthetized, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, ear tipped and tattooed, given fluids and pain medications, parasiticides and then sent back to where they were tapped and relaeased back into their homes. This helps with the overpopulation problem as well as disease spread. FFVH provide these services at markedly discounted prices to help the community. If you have a need for TNR assistance please call or email us for more information. If you would like to donate to our in clinic TNR fund please reach out as well. We do not get any outside financial resources to help this kitties but believe that TNR helps improve the lives of these kitties!

Medical records, follow-ups, emails,etc are so much more fun with fuzzy assistants!

Peanut butter makes everything more fun, right? (Unless you have a peanut allergy and for that we are sorry!)

Re-Pete was just along for moral support while her sister Mayzzy got laser therapy for her arthritis.

Which team member do you think is the biggest treat giver, snack spoiler, Kong cheese administrator, peanut butter pop giver outer, Churu server?
