Our Pet of the Month for June is
🌟Charlotte Blair🌟

Charlotte started coming to VCVC as a puppy in 2021. She got really sick around the time of Memorial Day Weekend 2023. Her parents noticed vomiting and diarrhea, and soon after she was unable to walk.

The lethargy settled in very quickly and they acted fast to get her in. After many diagnostics including bloodwork and radiographs, Dr. Elder determined the cause was pancreatitis. After many bags of IV fluids, medications, and multiple days of being hospitalized for monitoring she is starting to get back to her normal self! Charlotte is such a sweetheart and we are all so happy she is completely on the mend and back to running in her yard!

Enzo enjoying some belly rubbin' from Dani this week! ❤️

"Nose Warmers"
"Snout Cones"
"Party Hats"
"Muzzles"
Whatever you like to call them, we refer to them as "Safety blankets!" Enzo was anxious when he came in and felt he needed to protect his family from us. We placed a muzzle with his Mom's okay, and he immediately settled into limitless belly love!

We appreciate our clients being open to Anxiety and Fear Free visits and giving us that time to teach them they can trust their veterinary team 💕 We always tell our patients "This day is about you!"

Happy World Veterinary Day! Today we elevate our amazing veterinarians at VCVC! 🐾🙌

Dr. Cindy Payne-Robertson grew up in the Valley Center area and graduated from Valley Center High School. Her interest in animals and medicine very naturally led her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. After earning her BS in agriculture, she received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1985 from Kansas State University. Dr. Cindy has spent her career in progressive small animal practices, focusing on canine and feline medicine and surgery. She has served Kansas veterinarians for many years as president of the Kansas Veterinary Medical Association and as a board member of the KVMA. Dr. Cindy and her husband Curt are outdoor enthusiasts, enjoying cycling, hiking, and backpacking. Dr. Cindy also enjoys spending time with her four-legged children. These include six horses, a miniature donkey, four dogs, and four cats.

Thank you Dr. Cindy for all you do every day! ❤

Happy World Veterinary Day! Today we elevate our amazing veterinarians at VCVC! 🐾🙌

Dr. Elder grew up in Valley Center, graduated from Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine and is thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to serve the community he calls home. After graduating from vet school, he and his wife, Natalie, settled in Greenville, SC near her family for almost five years where he was an associate veterinarian in a progressive small animal practice. During his time there, Dr. Elder pursued additional training in veterinary dentistry and dermatology. He emphasizes regular wellness care as the best way to keep your animal companions healthy, and he has special interests in pain management and geriatric care.

When he’s not in the office, Dr. Elder enjoys spending time with his wife, their two energetic boys, and their little girl. You may find Dr. Elder sipping coffee, reading, playing the piano, riding a horse, cooking, hunting with his brothers, or exploring the great outdoors with his family. Beatrix and Mudbud, the family’s dogs, spends their days herding the boys and attempting to herd their cats (Flower, Kristof, Orville, and Wilbur).

Thank you for all you do every day Dr. Elder! We appreciate you!

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at VCVC!❤️

But especially from Atlas! Atlas is Caila's dog, one of our technicians here. His family noticed he's been a little off for about a week, increasingly more nauseous.

After an exploratory surgery and some treatment, this boy is already back to stealing hearts! 💕 Thanks to everyone at VCVC, you are so LOVED! 💕

Sweet Willow is a favorite at VCVC! She is so ornery and has such a big personality.

Willow had a few masses removed with Dr Cindy and the surgery team. The week following, Miss Willow had somehow managed to get the incision open on the mass removed from her shoulder! This girl! 🙈 So Dr. Elder and the team got this girl repaired and on her way.

Until next time Willow! ❤️

❤️ Pet of the Month ❤️

Our pet of the month in February is miss Teagan! 💐

Teagan started coming to VCVC in August of 2022. Recently Teagan was in to check a wound on her ear. After many days of monitoring and medication it developed into an abscess. We sedated Teagan in order to explore, drain, and bandage her wound. She was such a great patient and is slowly returning to her normal self! We have really enjoyed getting to know Sweet Teagan! ❤️
