An eyelid that rolls inward or droops outward might look like a cosmetic quirk to a casual observer, but to the dog wearing it, it's a source of constant discomfort. Both conditions are correctable with surgery, and the improvement in quality of life is typically dramatic and immediate. Twin Lakes Veterinary Hospital has the full breakdown on entropion and ectropion, the surgery, and recovery.

4 Years Today. ❤️

Exactly 4 years ago today, Twin Lakes Veterinary Hospital opened its doors.

What started as a vision to provide accessible, high-quality veterinary care to our community has grown into something we could never have imagined.

Over the past 4 years:
• More than 28,000 patients cared for
• Over 20,000 surgeries performed
• Thousands of urgent cases helped
• Countless pets and families supported during difficult moments

We built Twin Lakes around one core belief:
High-quality veterinary care should be accessible, efficient, and compassionate.

From routine wellness visits to emergency surgeries late at night, we have worked every day to create a clinic our community can rely on.

None of this would have been possible without:
🐾 Our incredible team
🐾 Our loyal clients
🐾 And the trust this community has placed in us

Thank you for supporting us, believing in us, and allowing us to care for your pets.

We are just getting started.

Cat Ate Something? This Happens More Than You Think.
Winston (3 yrs) came in with a foreign body obstruction — a true emergency.
We took him straight to surgery, removed this 👇 (yes… that’s what was inside him), and he’s now recovering well .
What most pet owners face:
➡️ Referred to emergency hospital
➡️ Hours of waiting
➡️ $4,000–$8,000+ bills
At Twin Lakes Veterinary Hospital (for our existing clients):
✔️ Same-day surgery — no delays
✔️ Emergencies handled in-house whenever possible
✔️ No emergency clinic fees
✔️ 20,000+ surgeries performed
✔️ A team that already knows your pet

This is the advantage of being an existing client.

When something urgent happens — you don’t want to start from zero.

Dogs and cats swallow things they should not all the time: socks, toys, string, bones, hair ties, corn cobs. Sometimes these objects pass on their own, but when they get stuck, they can block the digestive tract and become a life-threatening emergency within hours. Signs to watch for include repeated vomiting, loss of appetite, restlessness, and a painful abdomen.
At Twin Lakes Veterinary Hospital in Orillia, we offer emergency surgery and in-house diagnostics to locate and remove foreign objects quickly. The sooner we intervene, the better the outcome. Call 705-243-8923 if you think your pet has swallowed something dangerous.

🚨 She was in labor… but something was wrong 🚨
Nova came to us in distress with dystocia (difficult labor) — puppies were stuck and she couldn’t deliver safely.
We tried medical treatment first, but it quickly became clear:
⛔ waiting was no longer an option
➡️ We moved to emergency surgery
➡️ Our team stayed after hours to do everything possible
Outcome:
💛 Nova is safe and recovering
💛 Some puppies are now nursing
💔 Sadly, not all survived due to the severity of the condition.

Nova has a very caring owner who acted quickly to get her the help she needed 💛

These cases are incredibly time-sensitive, and outcomes can change quickly even with attentive care.
At Twin Lakes Veterinary Hospital, we’re here when it matters most — not just during regular hours.
📍 Same-day urgent care for our clients
⏰ Extended hours (Mon–Thu 8–8 | Fri 10–10 | Sat 8–2)
🚑 Real emergency capability — not just referrals
If your pet needs help — we’re here.
