Every newly adopted animal should be examined by a veterinarian. You never know what could be found. Case in point, these fur mites were found on a rescue guinea pig.

Our technician Vanessa is fostering a little bitty kitty. Turn up the volume to enjoy some baby kitten purrs!

You probably don't get to see our plecostomus (sucker fish) in action very often, but he was hungry today!

Here is the clip of Dr. Merk on WOI yesterday morning talking about Canine Influenza. Sorry about the video quality. WOI didn't post the clip to their website, so we recorded it with a cell phone.
