With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.

Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.

If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.

If the pavement is too hot for you, it's too hot for them. Make sure to be aware of the dangers hot pavement can have on your pet's paws.

Tornadoes form during intense thunderstorms and can reach wind speeds of 200+ mph. Although tornadoes can occur anywhere, they are prevalent in the Southeast and Midwest. Stay informed by downloading the FEMA app and signing up for weather reports and evacuation notices.

Keep a list handy of pet-friendly shelters and contact information for your local animal control office and ASPCA Poison Control (888-426-4435) in case of evacuation.

Michael Flynn. The man, the myth, the hospital manager, will unfortunately be leaving us to move on to another amazing adventure.

We are so thankful for all that he has done for our patients, their parents, and the staff during his time with us. He has surely left his mark on us with the compassion and care he offers to every pet that comes into the hospital.

We are so sad that he's leaving, but know that he will continue to make a difference for pets and their parents!

Mike, you have been an inspiration to us all, and we hope you find your next hospital "family" accepts you as much as we have, they are so lucky to have you!

🎉Piper's Story🎉

Miss Piper is a sweet little 6 month old rescue girl who had a pretty scary turn of events come her way when she was only 2ish months old.

Piper's parents adopted her and she was such a happy, sweet, loveable puppy. Shortly after her adoption her parents noted that she was not acting herself. She became ill and they took her to VEG (Veterinary Emergency Group) for care.

It turned out that Piper contracted parvo, a potentially deadly virus that attacks the intestinal tract of young dogs with incomplete immunizations.

Piper was given an injectable medication called CPMA (Canine Parvo Monoclonal Antibody). This is a revolutionary new treatment for parvovirus, it will bind to the parvovirus directly and prevent it from entering the cell. This in turn prevents a longer hospital stay for supportive care and an immediate immune response against the virus.

Dogs who receive the CPMA injection will need to continue receiving their DAPP (distemper/Parvo) vaccines for at least 17 weeks after receiving the treatment.

We are SO happy to report that miss Piper got her last vaccine on the 28th of June and is officially fully vaccinated against Parvo!

She was able to overcome the disease with the love and support of her parents as well as this new revolutionary antiviral treatment!

Congratulations to Piper's parents and Piper for absolutely THRIVING now! She's all done with her puppy shots and we will miss seeing her in the hospital.

🐾 Alfie’s Story 🐾

Alfie is an 11 year old Beagle who was recently adopted from a shelter in Connecticut. He came to us for his first exam with his new parents, at which time, we found 2 large abdominal masses on x-ray. Alfie’s parents took on the heaping task of getting him seen by specialists and have a few procedures done which culminated in removal of the abdominal masses as well as a few of his lymph nodes.

We were unsure of the prognosis due to the amount of disease present on abdominal ultrasound. Alfie recovered from surgery like a champ! He has been happy at home since his surgery, the only thing that remained was finding out what the masses were in his abdomen, to know if the next step would be chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

The BEST news came in today from his biopsies. It stated that ALL of Alfie’s masses and lymph nodes were BENIGN!! This means that there were no signs of cancer in any of the masses or lymph nodes removed during his surgery!

Alfie came in today as happy as he was the first day we met him. Our entire team was ecstatic to hear that Alfie was cancer free! Congratulations to him, his brother Eeyore, and his parents on such wonderful news! 💙🎉
