July 4th will be here before you know it, and if you have an anxious pet, now is the time to start preparing. 🎆🐾

A few things worth doing very soon: if you use a calming diffuser, go ahead and plug it in so it has time to build up in your home before the big night. Think through your plan for keeping your pet comfortable and in a safe, quiet space.

And if you feel like your pet might need medication to get through the holiday, let's talk about it today. Some medications work best when started ahead of time. A little preparation now goes a long way. 💙📞 952-442-2119

It’s time for our next MIP (Most Interesting Patient): The Little Lamb’s Leg

This case comes from our technician Elizabeth - a lamb at her father’s farm suddenly started to limp on her left front leg. One of our large animal veterinarians went out to the farm and took X-rays of the leg, and found that the lamb fractured her metacarpal bone (the bone below the knee or carpus - this is equivalent to the bones of the hand in humans!) In order to allow this bone to heal, the area had to be immobilized and fixed in place. The lamb was placed in a cast and allowed to heal. As she healed, the cast was removed, and the lamb was placed in a splint that could be adjusted to her size as she grew but still keep the bones immobilized. She is healing well and using the leg comfortably now!

June is National Dairy Month. 🥛🧀 This month we honor the dairy industry and its farmers! We thank them for providing us with the delicious dairy products we use.

Fun dairy fact: the average dairy cow produces 6-7 gallons of milk per day! 🐄

We are proud to provide veterinary care to our local dairy farms!

Happy National Trails Day! 🥾🐾 If you are hitting the trails with your pup this summer, here is a quick reminder on trail etiquette.

Keep your dog leashed at all times, even if they are friendly. Not every dog or hiker you encounter on trail feels the same way. A leash also helps protect your pet from unexpected wildlife encounters that can be dangerous for everyone involved. Stay on marked trails, clean up after your pet, and always bring plenty of water for both of you. Happy adventuring! 🌿
