HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!!!!! 🎉🐾

We are here to spread a little midweek happiness with some of the adorable faces we recently had the pleasure of seeing!

Meet Tilly!
Tilly was recently adopted and is now living her very best life with the sweetest family and two little girls. Dr. Turner always reminds the kids to pick up toys, socks, and hair ties so Miss Tilly does not accidentally swallow something and develop a foreign-body obstruction. Curious pets can get into trouble quickly!

Meet Caspian!
We updated his core vaccines and discussed scheduling a dental cleaning. Caspian is FIV-positive, but cats with FIV can still live long, happy, and healthy lives. They may be more susceptible to dental and respiratory infections, so routine wellness visits and dental care are especially important.

Meet Chloe!
We spoke with her mom about scheduling a dental cleaning with possible extractions to help keep her mouth healthy and comfortable.

Meet Sage!
This was Sage’s first visit with us! He was recently adopted and made quite the journey all the way from Puerto Rico. Welcome to the GVC family, Sage! ❤️

Meet Phoebe!
Phoebe came in for her annual booster vaccines. She is full of life, loves everyone she meets, and is especially enthusiastic about snacks!

Last but certainly not least, meet Mamacita Baby Dog!
This adorable little girl came in for her first puppy booster visit. Just look at that precious face! 🥹💕

Thank you for trusting us with your furry family members. We love getting to know each and every one of them!

Brothers edition!
We got to see 2 amazing Jack Russell Terriers from the same household, Oscar is 2 and Ollie is 5.
They got dental prophylaxis and Ollie had to have a few incisiors removed due to dental disease.

Does your Monday feel a little like this? 😴🐾

Meet Duchess! Her family brought her in because she was experiencing pain in one of her legs. To help keep her comfortable and allow us to perform a thorough orthopedic examination, Duchess was safely sedated.

Sedation helped her muscles relax so we could carefully evaluate her joints and obtain clear, properly positioned X-rays. During her examination, we detected abnormal movement and a “popping” sensation in her hips. Her X-rays confirmed bilateral coxofemoral joint subluxation and canine hip dysplasia.

But what does that mean?

The coxofemoral joint is the hip joint, where the ball of the femur fits into the socket of the pelvis. Hip subluxation means the ball is not sitting securely within the socket. Hip dysplasia occurs when the hip joints do not develop or fit together properly, which can lead to joint instability, pain, inflammation, and arthritis over time.

The next step for Duchess is a consultation with a veterinary orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon will review her examination and X-rays and help her family determine the best treatment plan to keep her comfortable and active.

We are sending lots of love to Duchess as she moves forward with the next steps in her care! 💕

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!! 🐾💛

What better way to brighten up the middle of your week than with these adorable faces from some of our wonderful patients?

Meet Amber! We are so sad to see her go, but we are wishing her family the very best as they move out West with her big sister, Hazel!

Meet Rosie! This sweet girl stopped by to get caught up on her FVRCP boosters.

Meet Harrison! This handsome little guy was so brave for his puppy booster vaccines.

Meet Merlot! He was not feeling his best, so his wonderful family brought him in for a second opinion. We are so happy to report that he is doing much better!

And last but not least, meet Soka! We have been seeing this sweet girl since she was just a puppy. Now she is all grown up and has the best dad ever, who always makes sure her preventive care stays up to date!

We just love watching our patients grow and being a part of their care through every stage of life! 🐶🐱

🦷 DENTAL TUESDAY! 🦷

Even Dr. Turner’s own dog, Lulu, needed a professional dental cleaning!

Lulu’s dental procedure was also the perfect teaching opportunity for our LVT, Marcie, to show Caroline—our future LVT student—how to take full-mouth dental X-rays and properly clean and polish teeth using an ultrasonic scaler.

Dental X-rays are an essential part of a thorough dental procedure because much of each tooth is hidden beneath the gumline. They allow our team to examine the tooth roots and surrounding bone for painful problems that cannot be seen during a visual examination alone.

After her cleaning, Lulu’s teeth were polished back to beautiful pearly whites! We also tried a new dental sealant designed to help protect the surface of the teeth and slow the buildup of plaque and tartar.

Our team will be monitoring Lulu’s teeth closely to evaluate how well the sealant works and determine whether it may be beneficial to incorporate it into our routine dental-cleaning protocol.

Professional dental care does more than freshen your pet’s breath—it helps prevent pain, infection, tooth loss, and the progression of periodontal disease. 🐾🪥

Great job, Lulu—and great teamwork, Marcie and Caroline!

🚨 **MEET MACIE!** 🚨

This sweet girl is recovering from a life-threatening condition called **pyometra**.

Pyometra is a serious infection of the uterus that can occur in unspayed female dogs and cats. The infected uterus can fill with pus, and without prompt treatment, the infection may spread throughout the body and lead to sepsis, organ failure, or even death.

Macie needed an **emergency spay surgery** to remove her infected uterus and ovaries. We are so thankful her family noticed something was wrong and contacted us quickly so we could perform the surgery and help save her life!

Signs of pyometra may include:

🐾 Lethargy or weakness
🐾 Decreased appetite
🐾 Vomiting
🐾 Increased thirst and urination
🐾 A swollen or painful abdomen
🐾 Vaginal discharge—although discharge may not always be present

Pyometra is a true medical emergency. If your unspayed pet is acting sick, especially within the weeks following a heat cycle, please contact a veterinarian immediately.

Spaying your pet prevents pyometra and eliminates the risk of this dangerous uterine infection.

We are so happy Macie is recovering and receiving lots of love from her family! 💕🐾

🐾 WE APOLOGIZE FOR BEING CLOSED TODAY! 🐾

Dr. Turner is out of town cheering on her oldest son at the Virginia Long Course Age Group Championships! 🏊‍♂️💙

Our staff will still be in the clinic today from 9:00 AM–1:00 PM for medication pick-ups. Please plan accordingly if your pet needs a refill.

Now, let’s celebrate our adorable spay and neuter superstars:

🌟 Bella
🌟 Sara
🌟 Maggie
🌟 Willow
🌟 Piper
🌟 Waffle
🌟 Willow
🌟 Iris
🌟 Butters

Spaying and neutering are important parts of preventive healthcare. These procedures help prevent accidental litters and can reduce the risk of several serious medical conditions.

Spaying can prevent pyometra, a life-threatening uterine infection, and eliminates the risk of uterine and ovarian disease. When performed at an appropriate age, it may also reduce the risk of mammary tumors.

Neutering eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and can reduce the risk of prostate enlargement and certain prostate infections, including prostatitis. It may also help decrease roaming and other hormone-driven behaviors.

Congratulations to all of our superstars on taking an important step toward a healthier future! 🐶🐱

👁️ COOL CASE THURSDAY! 👁️

Let’s talk about persistent eye discharge!

Can you see the tiny hairs the arrows are pointing to? These extra eyelashes are called distichia. They grow from an abnormal location along the eyelid and can rub against the surface of the eye.

For Kylo, these tiny hairs were irritating his cornea and causing ongoing discharge from his left eye. Other signs of distichia may include:

🐾 Excessive tearing
🐾 Squinting or blinking
🐾 Redness
🐾 Pawing or rubbing at the eye
🐾 Recurrent eye ulcers

Some pets with distichia may not show any discomfort, while others may need treatment if the hairs continue to irritate the eye. Persistent eye discharge should always be evaluated because even something as small as a tiny hair can cause significant irritation and pain.

Thankfully, Kylo’s family noticed the problem and during his dental cleaning we did a thorough exam and found the cause!

🐾 **SATURDAY AT GVC!** 🐾

Once a month, we open on a Saturday from **9:00 AM–2:00 PM** to help make veterinary care a little more convenient for our families!

Here are some of the beautiful faces we had the pleasure of seeing:

💙 Kayn
💙 Waffles
💙 Keyni
💙 Murphy
💙 Franklin
💙 Sadie
💙 Rocky

During their visits, we had several important conversations about **heartworm, flea, and tick prevention**.

One prevention option we love is the combination of **ProHeart 12** and **Bravecto Quantum**. Together, these injections can provide dogs with year-round protection against heartworms, fleas, and ticks.

That means:

✨ No monthly pills to remember
✨ No alarms or calendar reminders
✨ Less risk of missed or late doses
✨ Convenient protection for an entire year

Heartworm disease can be life-threatening, while fleas and ticks can cause discomfort and transmit serious illnesses. Keeping your dog protected year-round is an important part of preventive healthcare.

Ask our team whether annual injectable prevention may be a good option for your dog!

🦷 **DENTAL TUESDAY!** 🦷

Sometimes dental disease is hiding where we cannot see it!

Daisy came in for a routine dental cleaning, and at first glance, we did not expect to find significant periodontal disease around the upper carnassial teeth. However, dental X-rays revealed disease lurking beneath the gumline.

This is why dental X-rays are such an important part of a thorough dental procedure. They allow our trained veterinary team to evaluate the tooth roots and surrounding bone—areas that cannot be fully examined just by looking inside the mouth.

Check out these pictures to see how dental X-rays help us uncover painful problems and provide pets with the treatment they need!

Healthy teeth mean a healthier, more comfortable pet! 🐾🦷
