🐾🚨 LET'S TALK ABOUT URINARY PROBLEMS IN PETS!!! 🚨🐾

Did you know that bladder stones can cause significant discomfort and even become LIFE-THREATENING if they block your pet's ability to urinate?! 🐶🐱

❤️ Meet MILLIE!!! ❤️

This sweet girl was experiencing urinary issues, and her regular veterinarian discovered a bladder stone. They initially tried a prescription diet to see if the stone would dissolve. Unfortunately, not all bladder stones can be dissolved with diet, and Millie's stone wasn't going anywhere!

That's when surgery became necessary! 🏥

Before surgery, we performed pre-anesthetic bloodwork and confirmed the bladder stone using both ultrasound and X-rays. Millie then underwent a cystotomy, a surgical procedure in which we open the bladder to remove the stone.

🔎 WHAT ARE THE WARNING SIGNS OF BLADDER STONES OR URINARY PROBLEMS?

🐾 Straining or difficulty urinating

🐾 Frequent attempts to urinate

🐾 Producing only small amounts of urine

🐾 Blood in the urine

🐾 Accidents inside the house

🐾 Excessive licking of the ge***al area

💡 DID YOU KNOW?

Not all bladder stones are the same! Some types, such as certain struvite stones, can dissolve with a prescription diet. Others, such as calcium oxalate stones, cannot and generally require removal.

Bladder stones can also recur, which is why identifying the stone type and developing a prevention plan are so important!

🚨 IMPORTANT: If your pet is repeatedly straining and unable to produce urine, this is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY! A urinary blockage can become life-threatening very quickly.

❤️ Our goal at Grant Veterinary Care is not only to treat your pet but also to help YOU understand what's happening and why!

If you notice any changes in your pet's urinary habits, don't ignore them! Early diagnosis can help prevent serious complications.

🐾 Because sometimes something as simple as a change in bathroom habits can tell us A LOT about your pet's health!

🐾 FRENCHIE FRIDAY AT GRANT VETERINARY CARE! 🐾🐶❤️

If you know Dr. Turner, you know she LOVES her Frenchie patients… especially when she gets to wear her special Frenchie shirt! 👕🐾

💕 MEET ARTOO! 💕

This handsome little gentleman came to GVC for the WORKS, and he was seriously the BEST boy ever!!! 🥰

Artoo underwent THREE procedures during his visit:

🐾 Neuter – Helping prevent unwanted litters and certain reproductive health problems.

🐾 Elongated Soft Palate Resection – Removing excess tissue at the back of the throat that can obstruct airflow.

🐾 Stenotic Nares Correction – Widening abnormally narrow nostrils to help improve airflow through the nose.

🩺 LET'S TALK ABOUT FRENCHIES AND THEIR BREATHING!

Being a French Bulldog parent can be both rewarding and overwhelming! We absolutely LOVE these little guys and their BIG personalities, but their adorable squishy faces can come with some significant health challenges.

French Bulldogs are considered a brachycephalic breed, meaning they have shortened skulls and facial structures.

Unfortunately, this anatomy can contribute to a condition called Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS).

🚨 DID YOU KNOW THAT LOUD SNORING ISN'T NECESSARILY NORMAL?

Many Frenchie owners assume that snoring, snorting, and noisy breathing are just part of owning the breed.

But these sounds can actually be signs that your dog is struggling to move air through their airway!

Other signs of BOAS may include:

🐶 Loud breathing, even while resting
🐶 Excessive panting
🐶 Difficulty exercising or tiring easily
🐶 Trouble tolerating heat and humidity
🐶 Gagging or regurgitation
🐶 Difficulty sleeping comfortably
🐶 In severe cases, collapsing or struggling to breathe

❤️ HOW CAN GVC HELP?

At Grant Veterinary Care, we offer surgical correction of elongated soft palates and stenotic nares to help improve airflow in appropriately selected patients.

These procedures can help reduce airway obstruction, improve breathing comfort, and potentially improve your Frenchie's quality of life!

Although surgery cannot correct every anatomical abnormality associated with BOAS, addressing these two common problems can make a meaningful difference for many dogs.

✨ OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE: HELP YOUR FRENCHIE BREATHE MORE COMFORTABLY! ✨

Just because your Frenchie has always snored doesn't mean their breathing is normal or that nothing can be done to help!

📅 Have a Frenchie who snores, snorts, or struggles with exercise?

Schedule an appointment with us! Dr. Turner would love to evaluate your pet, discuss BOAS, and explain whether surgical correction may be beneficial.

Because we want your Frenchie to spend less energy trying to breathe and more energy doing what Frenchies do best… being adorable, silly, and stealing our hearts! 🐶❤️

It's time for a CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!! 🐶❤️🐱

We've had SO MANY adorable faces visit us at Grant Veterinary Care over the past few weeks, and we just HAVE to share some of them with you!!! 🥰

🐾 MAXX – This handsome boy and his mom are NEW to town! During his visit, we performed a 4DX test, which came back positive for Lyme disease. We sent out an additional quantitative test, which indicated an active infection. Maxx will be starting antibiotics, and we'll recheck him in 6 months to monitor his response to treatment! ❤️

🐾 ROXY – This pretty girl stopped by for her 4DX test, and we are happy to report she was NEGATIVE for all four diseases tested! 🎉

🐾 COCO & HORCHATA – These sweet sisters were absolute ANGELS for their vaccines and 4DX testing! Double the cuteness, double the love! 💕

🐾 GREMLIN – Don't let his name fool you! This cutie came in for a vaccine update and treatment for an ear infection. 🥰

🐾 ELWOOD & FRANNIE – These two ROCKSTARS were absolutely PERFECT for their annual vaccines! ⭐

🐾 MELBA & FINN – Finn wasn't feeling his best and had been experiencing some vomiting, so we performed bloodwork to investigate. Meanwhile, sweet Melba was a superstar for her examination! ❤️

🐾 ROCKIE – Just stopping by to bless your newsfeed with that adorable face!!! 😍

🐾 PUMPKIN – We are SO SAD to hear this sweet girl is moving back to the West Coast!!! 😭🌴 We are going to miss her and wish her family all the best on their next adventure! ❤️

🐾 TAZ – His mom noticed a few lumps she was concerned about, so we gave him a thorough examination. Remember, not all lumps are created equal, and it's always a good idea to have new or changing lumps checked by your veterinarian!

🐾 FIONA – This sweet girl came in for her vaccines but unfortunately experienced a little vaccine reaction afterward. We treated her promptly, and we're HAPPY to report she is doing great now!!! ❤️

Which adorable face is YOUR favorite?! 😍

🦷 Dental Tuesday! 🦷

If you don’t know, our dental LVT, Marcie, LOVES Sphynx cats! We were fortunate to see Smeagol, a 5-year-old Sphynx who had extensive tartar and staining on his teeth.

Why does Smeagol’s canine tooth have black staining?
Unlike furred cats, Sphynx cats lack hair to absorb their heavy body oils. When they groom themselves, these oils and secretions transfer onto their lips and settle into the microscopic grooves and surfaces of their teeth

Along with tartar, Smeagol was diagnosed with FORL (Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions) affecting two of his lower premolars. Dental X-rays showed that some of the roots of the teeth had fractured. This process was not visible during his routine examinations, which is why dental X-rays are so important!

We removed the affected teeth, including the fractured roots, and placed dissolvable sutures at the extraction sites.

Check out his before and after pictures!

Smeagol did a great job, and we’re happy we could help improve his oral health! 🐱❤️

🍬 Sweet as Sugar…Meet Toffee! 🐾

Little Miss Toffee was looking extra sweet after a quick clip and clean of her tail!

After getting her wound cleaned up, Toffee received a convenient antibiotic injection to help treat her infection. The best part? No wrestling with pills at home for her pet parents! This long-acting injection takes the stress out of administering oral antibiotics, making recovery a little easier for everyone!

We know accidents happen, and we’re always happy to help get our furry friends cleaned up, comfortable, and on the road to recovery.

🐱 Meet Cleo! A Lovely Lady Who Is PURRfect for Her SQ Fluids!

Sweet Cleo is one of our feline patients receiving subcutaneous (SQ) fluid therapy to help manage her Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

CKD is common in senior cats. As kidney function declines, cats can lose their ability to conserve water, making dehydration a frequent concern.

💧 How do SQ fluids help?

Fluids are administered just beneath the skin, where they are gradually absorbed into the body to help maintain hydration and support overall comfort.

While SQ fluids cannot cure kidney disease, they can be an important part of an individualized treatment plan.

Signs of kidney disease may include:

* Increased thirst and urination
* Weight loss
* Decreased appetite
* Vomiting or lethargy

Early detection, routine bloodwork, and appropriate treatment can make a BIG difference in managing this lifelong condition!

Cleo is such a lovely little lady and an absolute PURRfectionist when it comes to receiving her fluids! ❤️

At Grant Veterinary Care, we’re committed to helping our senior feline friends feel their best throughout their golden years.

SQ fluid therapy should always be administered under veterinary guidance.

💙 We’re wrapping up our Vet Tech Week celebration with our Client Service Representative, Teresa! 💙

Veterinary receptionists do so much more than answer phones and schedule appointments. They are often your first connection to care—a familiar voice when you’re worried and a welcoming face when you arrive. 🐾

At Grant Veterinary Care, our front desk team helps coordinate appointments, communicate your concerns to our medical team, explain clinic policies, and keep your visit running smoothly. Following guidance from our veterinarians, they help you understand when your pet needs an appointment or immediate emergency care.

Their compassion, communication, and organization are essential to caring for both our patients and the people who love them.

Teresa brings a remarkable background to this role. She spent more than 20 years as a 9-1-1 dispatcher for the City of Norfolk before retiring and beginning a new chapter in veterinary medicine and animal welfare. She has worked at Banfield, Chesapeake Humane Society, and Portsmouth Humane Society—and we’re so glad her journey brought her to GVC!

Her experience helping people through stressful situations shines through when she speaks with worried pet owners. Teresa works hard to make every client feel heard, supported, and welcome. 💙

Here’s a fun fact: This is the THIRD time Dr. Turner and Teresa have worked together! We think it’s safe to say they really enjoy being on the same team! 😊

Teresa’s love for animals extends beyond the clinic, too. She supports our local shelters, and these two adorable companions were adopted from Portsmouth Humane Society! 🐶🐶

Thank you, Teresa, for caring for our clients, supporting our team, and helping families get the care their pets need. We appreciate everything you do! 💙🐾

As Vet Tech Week comes to an end, we want to celebrate our fabulous surgical LVT, Alyssa! 🐾❤️

Licensed Veterinary Technicians play an essential role in every part of veterinary medicine, but especially in surgery and anesthesia.

Our LVTs are constantly monitoring patients under general anesthesia, watching heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, temperature, breathing, and so much more. They have to recognize changes quickly, respond immediately, and be prepared for emergencies at any moment.

They are also trained and ready to perform CPR and emergency interventions when a patient needs them.

That level of skill, focus, and responsibility is a huge part of what makes LVTs so valuable to a veterinary team.

And now, here is Alyssa’s WHY:

“As someone who has been in this field for more than 10 years, my ‘why’ has changed multiple times. Over the years, my answers have ranged from the typical ‘I love animals,’ to ‘it’s a job,’ to ‘I don’t know what else I would do.’

But since starting at GVC, I have found another why.

What we do here directly impacts our entire community. We are able to reach so many people, help reduce pet overpopulation and overbreeding, educate pet owners, and make veterinary care more financially accessible to families throughout Virginia and North Carolina.

That is AMAZING.

Another big part of my ‘why’ at GVC is the staff. Since moving to Virginia about four years ago, I have never felt more comfortable or connected with a team. We truly are a team and a family.

And yes… I fully plan on retiring here with Marcie.” 😂❤️

That is the perfect way to end Vet Tech Week.

Our technicians are more than the people you see holding pets or helping in exam rooms. They are anesthetists, surgical nurses, educators, emergency responders, patient advocates, and an essential part of everything we do.

We are incredibly grateful for Alyssa, Marcie, and every member of our veterinary team who gives so much of themselves to our patients, clients, and community every single day. ❤️🐶🐱
