🐾 Back at North Coast Stand Down!

We were so happy to volunteer again at the North Coast Stand Down two weeks ago!

Events like this are a wonderful reminder of the power of community—and we’re grateful for the opportunity to use our veterinary skills to help support our veterans and their families.

We were especially thankful to share the day with so many wonderful veterinary colleagues from other clinics in our area. It was great to come together as a veterinary community, volunteer our time, and work side-by-side for such a meaningful cause. ❤️

A special thank you to all of the veterinary volunteers who joined us:

🐾 Humboldt Veterinary Medical Group: Dr. Kris Flores, Frances (RVT), Katrina (RVT), Karly (RVT), and Jackie (RVT).

🐾 Sunny Brae Animal Hospital: Dr. Jay Hight and Kim (Technician)

🐾 Trillium Vetereinary Services: Rick (RVT)

And of course, thank you to the amazing organizers, volunteers, and community partners who make North Coast Stand Down possible. We’re always honored to be there! ❤️

⚠️ **Blue-Green Algae Alert: Protect Your Pets This Summer** 🐾💚

As the weather warms up, blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) can grow in ponds, lakes, rivers, and other slow-moving water. While it may look like harmless green scum or paint floating on the surface, it can produce toxins that are **extremely dangerous—and even fatal—to pets**.

🐶 **Keep your pet safe by:**
• Avoiding water that looks green, blue-green, or has a thick surface scum.
• Preventing your pet from drinking or swimming in suspicious water.
• Rinsing your pet immediately with clean water if they come into contact with algae (while protecting yourself from exposure).
• Always bringing fresh drinking water for your pet on outdoor adventures.

🚨 **Signs of blue-green algae poisoning may include:**
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Excessive drooling
• Weakness or stumbling
• Difficulty breathing
• Muscle tremors or seizures
• Collapse

If you suspect your pet has been exposed, **seek veterinary care immediately.** Fast treatment can make a critical difference.

Please help keep our community's pets safe by sharing this post and staying alert around local waterways. 💙🐾

Do not be angry if you see our name on the supporters of Miranda’s Rescue page. We are supporters; of the hundreds of animals that our practice has spayed, neutered, given medical care, and supported through humane euthanasia when deemed medically appropriate. Supporting the animals does not mean we support what has been unfolding at Miranda’s Rescue. Supporting the animals means that we have been helping law enforcement when and where we can.

Be angry that not every animal at the rescue was given the benefit of a veterinarian examination and treatment. Because we are.

Be angry that not every animal was given the oversight of a licensing board or animal control. Because we are.

Be angry that hundreds, if not thousands, of animals were moved into our community and then cruelly removed from us without the community’s knowledge. Because we are.

And this last one hits the hardest. Because if there is one privilege we hold in the highest as veterinarians, it is our duty to end a life with as little pain, fear and trauma as possible.

We do not provide support to Shannon Miranda and what is being discovered in our community. However, an animal brought to our attention from Miranda’s Rescue in need of care will get it. Because that is who needs our support the most.
