Dental X-rays have been a mainstay in small animal (dog and cat) dentistry for a while now, so why shouldn’t our long lived and long toothed equine friends be any different!

This older guy was being very finicky for his sedation for his routine annual dentals for the last 2 years, a huge indicator that there may be some underlying mouth pain. A large diastema packing feed and causing gum disease was found. Taking X-rays, not only revealed the diastema but the space around the tooth indicating that the ENTIRE tooth is diseased and needs to be removed. The more you know 🤓🦷

We love horse teeth! If your horse has not had its annual dental yet please give us a call to get that scheduled before the snow flies, 919-307-6893

First day back in the office after some time off last week. Kicked it off with some horses taking advantage of their BOGO chiro special and boy was it rewarding to see how much everyone (humans and horses) enjoyed it! Sleepy eyes, big yawns and beautiful sunshine ☀️

Take advantage of our equine chiro BOGO special (second chiropractic adjustment free, excluding travel) and spoil your hardworking horses with a spa day before the snow flies!

Carol and the IMV team covered over 1,000miles and 14+ hours of driving last week. Excuse the lack of pictures as we were so busy seeing patients, avoiding pot holes, chatting with construction sign holders, setting up camp in multiple spots and overall just having a grand ‘ol adventure!

We saw everything from dogs and cats to horses and donkeys. We did dentals, mass removals, ultrasounds, X-rays, spays, neuters, bloodwork and oh so much more! This is IMVs mission! Bringing high quality medicine to rural Alaska animal owners of all shapes and sizes. We may have been a little haggard by the end of the week 😅 but our hearts and happiness cups are full 🥰

Big thank you to all of the amazing communities and people of the interior (and a bit beyond lol) that entrusted us with the care of your animals ❤️

This older gelding has a stellar owner that keeps him up to date on his yearly dentals. Last year it was noted that he had this area near one of his back molars packing feed and causing some gum irritation, or periodontal disease. The feed was picked out and the pocketing in the gum noted on his chart. This year the pocketing and feed packing was much worse so we decided to widen the diastema to prevent the feed from getting stuck in there which was rotting and leading to a low level gum infection.

All of these notes and pictures are carefully documented on his chart to allow us to track progress and trends that can impact the overall health of the horse. If not addressed, these feed packing diastemas can lead to some pretty serious, and painful, periodontal disease.

Keep your horse healthy and comfy with a thorough dental exam done by a veterinarian EVERY YEAR. The same way you invest in quality feed and supplements, we should be investing in routine annual dentistry to keep our horses as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

Tis the season for sweet babes hitting the ground 😍 these two are snuggling, waking up slow and pain free after their disbudding

If you have goat kids being born and you intend to use them for milking purposes then chances are you are considering disbudding them. This is common practice in dairy breeds to minimize risk of injury to the prized udder. Though common, it can be unpleasant (hands up if you’ve heard the heart breaking sound of a goat kid scream while a hot iron is placed on their skull 🙋‍♀️).

Best practice, and IMVs recommendation to all goat owners considering this procedure, is to have us out to do it for you. We will put them under light sedation, administer pain meds then wake them up as soon as possible once finished. Minimal, if any, pain or screaming!

As your kids hit the ground keep in mind that disbudding is best done between 3-10 days of age, even younger in some tenacious horn growing breeds (looking at you lil Nigerians 👀 ). So call to schedule as soon as they are born!

We are very excited to welcome Mercy to the team! Read on to learn more about Mercy and how she ended up in Squarebanks ❤️🙂

“My journey started in Louisiana, where I had  my introduction into veterinary care. I worked for a few different practices in Baton Rouge, as an assistant and receptionist. I spent a few summers doing seasonal jobs in the National Parks, where I decided I wanted to live somewhere with access to abundant natural beauty. When I saw a posting for a summer job in Denali, working with sled dogs in a place with so much natural beauty, I couldn’t resist. I fell in love with the dogs and the country and the rest is history. The fall of 2018 I moved back to Fairbanks and settled down with my dog Dingo, and later, my husband Charlie. Back from the bush, I found my way back to veterinary care, and spent 5 wonderful years working at a vet clinic in Fairbanks. Now, I am very excited to collaborate with Dr. Llanes and the Interior Mobile Vet team, continuing to serve the pets, people, and now, large animals and livestock, of the interior. In my off time, I enjoy ski joring or bike joring with my dogs, foraging, hiking, and having errand days with my girlfriends. “

The snow is melting and babies are hitting the ground! If you have expectant mommas IMV recommends checking them every 6-8 hours at minimum, more frequently if possible. Familiarize yourself with the signs and stages of labor and gives us a call ASAP if things seem off so we can assure momma and baby are as healthy as possible! This 2 hour time frame does not just apply to cattle, it is applicable to goats, sheep, horses, reindeer, any species really!

The AAEP provides wonderful educational resources not just for vets, but for horse owners as well. Access to veterinary care in Alaska can be challenging, especially for horse owners, and Dr. Llanes is just one person who cannot be available 24/7. We recognize this so we aim to equip our owners with as many resources as possible to keep their animals healthy and be ready to address emergency situations if they arise.

Check out this video presentation, along with the other resources on the website, to learn more about how you can be prepared for an equine emergency. The top 3 points that the IMV team wants to emphasize are: having a budget or payment options ready, having access to a trailer and having a VCPR in place

What a fun weekend in the Tanana Valley last weekend with .t.dog.alaska ! Dr. Llanes completed the 50mile skijor event with a 3 dog team then took those jello legs all the way to Minto and Nenana and back to Fairbanks as her partner and 10 dog team competed in the 200 mile division.

Along with sponsoring the band at the Nenana checkpoint, IMV also provided service vouchers to the top mushers in the 200 and 110 division! Very fun to see friends, clients and patients out on the trail enjoying all Alaska has to offer ❤️🐶❄️

IMV is a proud sponsor of The T-Dog Alaska. Both parties share a core value of community engagement and growth. Tekla has put on a fantastic event crossing multiple sports with a focus on fun and learning with our canine friends. Our very own Dr. Llanes will be 2 dog skijoring the 50 mile event this Saturday and her partner will then be running their 10 dog team in the 200 mile race the following day. Check out the page for more info on how you can support and spectate!

Earlier this week Dr. Llanes, the talented and knowledgeable Dr. Dean Hendrickson from CSU, some wonderful and dedicated local farriers and a group of eager vet students got together to go over some principles of equine podiatry. This is a field of veterinary medicine that is complex, rapidly changing and bringing so much pain relief to horses everywhere. It requires a scrupulous eye for detail and a collaborative effort between veterinarians, farriers and horse owners.

Fairbanks may be tucked away in its own little cold, dark corner of the world, but we are staying up to date on the times to make sure we give our horses the best that we can! We will be announcing some upcoming spring specials regarding equine podiatry, but give us a call today to learn more, 919-307-6893

This “fools spring” is making for some fun driving adventures! Poor Alya has been white knuckled all week while Dr. A just giggles in the passenger seat 😂

PSA to please give us a heads up about any potentially questionable driveway conditions ahead of time. Patty usually asks about driveway conditions when booking appointments but things are changing rapidly with this crazy weather!

Dr. A here 👋🏻

Despite the cold, I am grateful to be back in the interior after spending 10 days providing veterinary care to animals in the Yukon-Kuskowim Delta. Dr. Ross came up from tropical Hawaii just in time for the first cold snap the interior has seen so far this winter.

Being a veterinarian is already a pretty intense job. Throw in the extra layer of rural FRIGID Alaska and you have a down right rodeo on your hands. These past couple weeks I have been humbled and privelaged to work along side some amazing individuals that take the chaos of this rodeo in stride. Providing gentle healing kindness to the animals and their accompanying humans in the coldest and darkest corners of this great state.

Thank you to Dr. Ross for holding down the fort and thank you to all our clients for your warm reception of Dr. Ross so I could take the opportunity for this unique experience!

Sharp was the first IMV patient to benefit from some laser therapy after his chiropractic adjustment. His back was a tad sore so we brought in the laser for added pain control. We are very excited to be able to offer this modality of therapy to help your animals feel their absolute best!

See the link below to read some more about what laser therapy is and how your animal can benefit from it. If you’re interested in scheduling a session, give us a call today! 919-307-6893

Do you have a pet male castrated (wether) goat? Are you familiar with the term urolithiasis? Do you feed your pet whether any kind of grain?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then you should make sure you have a valid VCPR in place! Wethers are more prone to urolithiasis (urinary stones) and this can cause an obstruction to urine outflow which is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY. Breed, age, genetics and nutrition all play a factor in this life threatening emergency. Call today to schedule a VCPR so we can discuss what steps we can take to decrease the risk of this happening

As many of you know Dr. Llanes is one of those crazy dog mushers who is trying her hand at some mid distance races. In an effort to continue to provide services while Dr. A is out there staring at dog butts and freezing her fingers off, IMV will be welcoming a visiting veterinarian for 2 weeks in January. Some of you may already know Dr. Kimi from her time working in copper center and traveling around interior to provide veterinary services. Dr. A worked with Dr. Kimi as a vet student and the friendship has continued over the years. We are excited to have things come full circle and have her join the IMV team on a relief basis! Keep reading to learn a bit more about Dr. Kimi 😊

Dr. Kimi Ross became a veterinarian after spending many years as a teacher, first on the Navajo Reservation in northern Arizona and then in Bush Alaska, primarily in the northwest Arctic region. Her experiences as an animal owner in both these locations gave her a heart for providing veterinary care in underserved communities. After earning her DVM from Washington State University in 2016, Dr. Ross returned to the Copper River Basin region of Alaska, where she provided veterinary services for the region as Copper Valley Veterinary Services. In 2020, she made the difficult decision to close that practice and relocated to Hawaii, where she has practiced since. Dr. Ross currently works as a part time associate at a local clinic, as well as operating a rehabilitation focused clinic a couple of days a week. She employs an integrative approach to care, utilizing modalities such as acupuncture, herbs and ozone therapy, to support the physical and mental well being of her patients.

Dr. Ross is Deaf, so when speaking to her, please make sure you have her attention. Dr. Ross uses a transcribing app on her phone to help with communication and Alya will also be around to make sure info isn’t lost in communication. In early 2023, Dr. Ross welcomed a new dog into her pack, see picture 😍🐶. Zephyr is a chocolate lab who functions as Dr. Ross’ ears. Zephyr is trained to alert Dr. Ross to alarms and other environmental sounds and proudly wears her “Service Dog” harness out in public. Zephyr will be making her first trip to Alaska in January and will be hanging out in Carol while Dr. Ross sees appointments.

Bonus points if anybody recognizes where Dr Ross’ shirt in this picture is from 😜

A big heartfelt thank you to the Delta Junction Lions Club for letting us park Carol there to see patients!

This has allowed us to cut down on travel fees/costs and see more patients in a day since we spend less time driving around. Grateful for the fantastic community support ❤️

IMV ❤️’s ultrasound. And we also love learning and teaching!

Jenn, a second year vet student at UAF, joined Dr. Llanes in doing a re**al ultrasound on a horse straining to urinate, and an abdominal ultrasound on a chicken who has not laid in a few months and is feeling a little under the weather.

Ultrasound is such a versatile and useful diagnostic tool. It can also be used to diagnose pregnancy, identify a source of colic, evaluate tendons and ligaments in lameness cases and so much more! You can see in these pictures we have two ultrasound units so we can accommodate a wide array of species and scenarios

IMV would like to give a big warm welcome to its newest team member, Patty McCall! Patty is an avid lover of the outdoors. Foraging, hiking, camping, fishing, daydreaming! She grew up in Colorado and moved to Alaska in 2008 with husband, Billy. Since arriving, they have made AK their home, raising 2 wild boys and a crew of a husky, Zorro, a lab, Harry, and bearded dragon, Zipper. Patty graduated with her AAS Veterinary Technology degree from Colorado Mountain College in 2005 and also has a BS in Fisheries Biology from the University of AK Fairbanks in 2013. She has worked in small animal practice for the majority of 18 years. She is looking forward to expanding her knowledge of mobile veterinary practice and working with the community.

Very excited to have Patty’s knowledge and passion on the team!

Pug-a-palooza today! They may look like the same dog but these are all different dogs in back to back appointments! Lots of snorts and smoosh face kisses 🥰

Does anybody else live with a headlamp on their head this time of year? Or is Dr. Llanes just weird 🤪
