🐾 Welcome to the world, little ones! 🐾

One of the most rewarding parts of being a clinic that does reproduction work is helping bring healthy puppies safely into the world.

This morning, we had the privilege of assisting with the delivery of these two adorable French Bulldog puppy girls. Mom and babies are doing well, and it’s always incredible to witness the beginning of a new life.

We are so very thankful to have the mentorship of and for these owners who came back over and over this weekend so we could make sure we timed their arrival safely! said it best when they said repro is a team sport!!!
Congratulations to their wonderful family on these two tiny bundles of joy! ❤️

Blood pressure testing in senior cats is essential to catching this deadly disease as early as possible.

Did you know that high blood pressure (hypertension) is a silent stalker in our senior cats? 🐈 Many cats show no signs at all, and sudden blindness is often the first sign that caregivers notice.

To help catch hypertension early, look out for these subtle signs in your cat and speak to your vet team about any concerns:

🐱 Sleeping more

🐱 Acting withdrawn

🐱 Bumping into things

🐱 Changes in the eyes, such as bleeding

🐱 Signs from other diseases, like weight loss and hyperactivity in cats with hyperthyroidism

🏥 Regular veterinary visits, including blood pressure checks, are especially important for senior cats, to catch signs of hypertension early. Find out more 👉 https://icatcare.org/articles/hypertension-in-cats

Be honest, have you ever waited it out instead of calling the vet? You’re not alone. A lot of pet owners second guess themselves.

But here’s the thing: Catching something early can prevent bigger problems later.

If you’re unsure, it’s always okay to ask. We’d rather you call than worry at home.

Not all symptoms mean the same thing. Two pets can have the same exact symptom, but completely different conditions.

That’s why guessing or waiting can sometimes make things worse. When in doubt, it’s always better to check it out. We’re here to help you get clear answers.

A sick visit isn’t just about treating what you see. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface.

We look at:
• Behavior changes
• Eating and drinking habits
• Physical exam findings

All of this helps us get to the real issue, not just the symptom. If something feels off, trust your instincts and give us a call.
