September is Animal Pain Awareness Month.
Most often our pets can show signs of discomfort in very subtle ways. Very rarely do they vocalize it.
If you have noticed changes in your pets behaviour, decreased grooming, not interacting with the family or becoming more aggressive chances are they are in pain.

If you are noticing any of the changes listed below please reach out to our office. There are many options available to help keep your pet happy and comfortable. 🐾

Happy 2nd work anniversary to Samantha, one of our Technicians!
Samantha is an incredibly hard worker, and you may have even seen her working at the clinic many years ago before she went to college. Outside of work you will likely find Samantha out walking one of her 3 pups! Thank you Samantha for all of your hard work, we appreciate you!

We had some horses come in for pregnancy checks and they brought along their bovine friend. This lovely lady was halter broke and very well mannered so she was treated to the horse side of the clinic.
And guess what? She is pregnant! 🥳

💐Another beautiful recipient of our Emergency Care Fund. Thank you clients and friends for donating to this fund!💐

Abby is a three year old Pug who presented with a swollen right eye that had a significant amount of opaque discharge. On ophthalmic exam, she had corneal edema, hypopyon (or pus in the anterior chamber of her eye), and when fluorescein stain was applied, it highlighted a very deep ulcer in this eye. Corneal ulcers can be superficial (if only the most superficial cell layers are damaged), or more deep (when the damage is through enough cell layers). The deepest cell layer on the cornea is called the Descemet's membrane, and if the damage to the cornea affects this layer, the eye can rupture. In Abby's case, the ulcer was a descmetocele, where it was very close to this last layer of cells but not through it. This type of ulcer does not uptake stain in the very middle of the ulcer (the stain doesn't adhere to Descemet's membrane). After discussion treatment options with the owner, it was decided to start aggressive eye drop therapy to help the cornea heal. Unfortunately, this ulcer was a complicated ulcer and did not respond well to typical treatment, and so the decision was made to remove the eye. We were able to use the Emergency Care Fund to help make this surgery possible, and Addy is doing quite well at home and back to her normal self.

We will be back in the office Tuesday Sept. 2nd. Have a great long weekend!🐾

Happy 2nd work anniversary to our lovely RVT, Kassidy! Over the past 2 years, Kassidy has worked incredibly hard at work and at school to become an RVT. Outside of work you can find Kassidy doing renovations, playing volleyball or spending time with her family. Thank you for all of your hard work, Kassidy!

It doesn’t feel like it outside right now but Fall is right around the corner. This means the busy fall run will be starting soon! A few things for our large animal clients to note:

- We have limited staff between 5:00 PM to 7:00 pm therefore if you plan to pick up medications during this window you MUST preorder to facilitate time for staff to have orders ready and packaged for you.

- Preg checking dates are already starting to get booked! Please call ahead to get your herd booked in at the optimal time for your operation. Remember we can detect pregnancy in cattle as early as 40 days and staging is most accurate when done in the 1st trimester.

Thank you for your cooperation & we wish all the very best in the busy season to come!

If you:
🩸 Live within 15-30 min of the clinic
🩸Are ok with your pet being sedated
🩸Have a dog that is > 30 kg or a cat > 4.5 kg
🩸1-8 yrs of age

Your pet may be a good candidate 😊
We currently have no way to store the blood so blood donation would be on an emergent type basis. The sample is collected from the jugular vein after the area has been shaved and surgically prepped. They do need to lay perfectly still so your pet may receive some level of sedation.

If you would like to know more about this please give our office a call at 250-782-5616.
