Happy Birthday Nyuki!!

She's the smiling face you see when you walk through our doors and one of the voices you often hear on the phone.

She's our leader, our guide and our friend and today, we celebrate this special gal.

Dr. Stephanie teaches those that are around her everyday. We get to see first hand how to be compassionate, problem solve, continually learn and never give up. She is never above sharing her knowledge and cares so deeply for her animal and human clients alike.

If you come by the clinic today, make sure you wish Dr. Steph a very Happy Birthday and tell her how much you appreciate all that she does.

We are all lucky to have you at the helm Steph and we hope you have the best year ever!!

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

Today, we remember the pets who may no longer be by our side, but will always have a place in our hearts.

Our pets are so much more than animals—they are family. They greet us at the door, comfort us on difficult days, make us laugh, and become part of some of the most cherished chapters of our lives.

When their time comes, saying goodbye can be one of the hardest things we ever have to do. The love doesn't disappear when they cross the Rainbow Bridge. We simply learn to carry it differently. ❤️

Today, we invite you to remember the pets you've loved and lost. Share their photo, tell their story, or simply take a moment to think about all the joy they brought into your life.

And to the families who have trusted us to care for their beloved companions through their final moments: thank you. It is an honor we never take lightly.

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever a part of the family.

ADR: Ain’t Doin’ Right

In veterinary medicine, we hear this one all the time:

“My dog is ADR.”

“My horse is just not acting right.”

“My cat is acting weird.”

And honestly? You know your animal better than anyone. Sometimes the first sign of illness is simply that they aren't acting like themselves.

Before you call the vet, take a few minutes to check these things:

- APPETITE
Are they eating normally? Any sudden decrease or complete refusal to eat? When was the last time they ate a proper meal?

- WATER INTAKE
Are they drinking more or less than usual? When was the last time you saw them take a drink?

- MANURE/STOOL
Is it normal in color, consistency, and frequency? Any diarrhea, constipation, or no manure at all? When was the last time you saw them go to the bathroom?

- URINATION
Are they urinating normally? Any increased frequency, straining, accidents, or inability to urinate?

- TEMPERATURE
If you have a thermometer and know how to safely take a temperature, check it and write down the number.

- HEART & BREATHING
Are they breathing faster or harder than normal? Any coughing, nasal discharge, or unusual effort?

- GUMS/MUCOUS MEMBRANES
Are they their normal healthy pink color? Are they pale, gray, blue, yellow, or unusually dark? Do they feel tacky or are they moist?

- BEHAVIOR
Are they lethargic, restless, depressed, painful, unusually quiet, or just…not themselves?

- MOVEMENT
Are they walking normally? Any lameness, stiffness, weakness, reluctance to move, or trouble getting up? Did you see them go through any trauma?

- TAKE A VIDEO
If something unusual is happening, a short video can be incredibly helpful to your veterinary team.

- WRITE IT DOWN
Note when you first noticed the change, what you've observed, what they've eaten or been given, and whether anything has changed recently.

And remember…

ADR isn't a diagnosis—but it IS information.

If your gut tells you something isn't right, don't ignore it. Animals can't tell us what's wrong, so sometimes a change in their normal behavior is the first clue we get.

When in doubt, give your veterinarian a call. We'd rather talk with you early than have you wait and hope things improve. We are always here for you.

Happy International Cat Day!

Today we're celebrating the whiskers, the purrs, the midnight zoomies, and the cats who somehow manage to rule the house without lifting a paw.

Whether your feline friend is a fearless adventurer, a professional sunbeam napper, or convinced they're the true owner of your home, they deserve the very best care.

International Cat Day is the perfect reminder to:
🐾 Schedule your cat's annual wellness exam
🐾 Stay up to date on vaccines and parasite prevention
🐾 Keep an eye on changes in appetite, litter box habits, or behavior
🐾 Give them plenty of love, enrichment, and, of course, treats (if they'll accept them!)

At our clinic, we're proud to care for cats through every stage of life—from playful kittens to wise senior companions. Thank you for trusting us with your feline family members.

Did you know cattle have an almost 360° field of vision?

Because their eyes are located on the sides of their heads, cattle can see nearly everything around them without turning their heads. It's an incredible adaptation that helps them detect potential danger while grazing.

One exception? They have a blind spot directly behind them. That's why approaching cattle calmly from the side—where they can see you—is one of the best ways to reduce stress and keep both people and livestock safe.

As veterinarians, understanding animal behavior is just as important as understanding animal medicine. Knowing how cattle perceive their surroundings helps us provide safer, lower-stress handling during exams, treatments, and routine herd work.

A little knowledge goes a long way in keeping your herd healthy and your cattle comfortable.

Have a question about your herd's health or handling? Give us a call—we're always happy to help!
