HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! 🎃

We had a scare here at TAH yesterday when Dr. MacDonald walked into the treatment area with a MONSTER!!! 👻

The fear only lasted a minute though! We quickly realized it was really one of our best friends, Savanna the golden, wearing this great costume!
She was happy to pose for a picture with our wonderful VA, Corrie.

Thanks for making our day, Savanna! You are the sweetest monster there ever was! 🐾

Look at this adorable burrito!! 🥹 Have you ever seen a cozier Corgi ?!

Sweet little Daisy was in for her spay surgery this week! She did great and was stealing hearts left and right during her entire visit (even when she was sleeping)! 🐾 🩷

WE’RE HIRING A VETERINARIAN!! 🩺 🐾

We’re looking for another amazing veterinarian to join our team!

We’re located in a wonderful community, and we’re proud to have a supportive staff, the sweetest patients, and the best pet parents!! 🐶 🐱

If you’re passionate about pets and their health, and if working in a positive, team-focused environment is your thing, we’d love to meet you! 🐾

🐾 Our lovely friend Mogley came in today for her recheck on her aural hematoma. She was such a brave girl and showered our team with her usual affection! 💕

🩺 What is aural hematoma?

A aural hematoma is a pocket of blood that forms between the layers of the ear flap, often caused by head shaking or scratching due to ear infections or irritation. It’s important to treat them promptly to relieve discomfort and prevent long-term ear changes.

We are so glad you came in today, Mogley. Thanks for making our Monday brighter, sweet girl! 🩷

🐾 Picture this - you put on scrubs everyday, go to work, and for the entire duration of your shift you wear every one of these hats:

Nurse, Dental Hygienist , X-Ray Technician, Lab Technician, Pharmacy Technician, Food Server, Pooper Scooper, Educator, Anesthetist, Groomer, Phlebotomist, Janitor, Tech Support, Admin Support, Emotional Support person… and above all, animal lover!

You spend your day using a multitude of different voices - soothing voices, quiet but encouraging voices, excited voices, baby talk voices. Because even though your patients can’t talk you, you have this amazing ability to read them and to know exactly the type of communication that they need.

You lay on the floor with patients so they don’t feel alone, you give the ones who need space, space - while still giving them your full attention and the care that they need. You make sure they are tucked in, warm, and cozy so that they feel comfortable when they aren’t feeling well. You celebrate wins and say “good job! You’re so brave!” MANY times a day.
You cry a lot of tears, happy ones and sometimes sad - because your compassion is what makes you so amazing at your job. The list goes on - all in a days work.

These are our RVT’s. They truly are amazing!

We think they should wear a cape because although their offical job title is Registered Veterinary Technician, really they are superheroes! And honestly, we would not survive without them!

What a wonderful thing when career and passion collide. ❤️

October is RVT month, and although our love and appreciation for these amazing people who have chosen this career is something we feel every single day, we wanted to take a minute to acknowledge just how crucial their roll is in the world of Veterinary Medicine, and how thankful we are that these four wonderful humans choose us.

THANK YOU - you and loved, admired, and appreciated beyond words.
We are so lucky to have you. ❤️

***UPDATE: PLEASE SHARE - this sweet boy is still here. We will continue to care for him until 5:00pm today, and then we will make arrangements for alternate care. ❤️

🐾 Is this sweet boy yours?

He was found near exit 4 by a good samartian. We believe he does have a home as he looks well cared for is a very social (but very hungry) boy!

If you are his Mom or Dad, please call us! 902-468-7387
He does have one distinct marking that will need to be provided in order for us to release him.

Until then, we are making sure he has a full belly and is getting lots of love! 🖤
