After a lengthy stay for septic calcaneal bursitis and osteomyelitis, our friend Wilbur has officially been discharged! He proved he was ready to go with a full gallop around the pasture.

He initially presented non-weight bearing lame with a guarded prognosis. Thankfully, he tolerated even the most invasive treatments like a champ, which allowed us to treat him thoroughly and effectively. His attitude and willingness to cooperate made a meaningful difference in his recovery, and along the way he managed to steal all of our hearts (Dr. Carroll’s especially).

Full bananas… peel and all… are still his top treat choice, but a celebratory cake made it onto the treatment plan today.

We don’t have favorites.
But if we did… he’d be pretty high on the list.

Cake, kisses, and plenty of bananas in his future.
That’s a pretty good discharge summary.

Disclaimer: all insulin monitoring and management protocols were adhered to in the making of this celebration!

Sweet 16 never looked so good. This girl has been a longtime favorite around the clinic, and if you’ve ever met her, you know exactly why. The gentlest soul!

Sixteen years of love, loyalty, and being the very best girl.

We’re pretty lucky to be part of her story. Happy Birthday, Peach 💗

Life is full of growth and change. Let’s make sure it’s in the right direction.

Can you help us with our next chapter?

Oak Valley Veterinary Services was born out of a deep desire to provide thoughtful, personalized care for animals and the amazing people who care for them throughout the Hill Country. We began on the road as a mobile clinic while working toward our long-term goal of building a permanent home for the practice.

While searching for that right piece of land, Snaffle Bit Ranch has graciously served as our temporary sanctuary over the past five years. During that time, I have pursued many potential properties and negotiations, but the right piece of land has not quite found its way to me yet.

We are incredibly grateful for our time at Snaffle Bit Ranch, but the time has come for Oak Valley to take the next step. We have officially outgrown our current space, and I am ready to build a more efficient and streamlined home for our practice.

Our Philosophy Will Not Change

Some might worry that a new building means a bigger or more corporate feel. For us, the goal is the opposite. Every patient and every client deserves our full attention. We want the conversations. We want to know about you and your animals. We want the small talk and the silly jokes. We want the time to treat every patient as an individual. Mostly importantly, we want you to feel heard.

Expanding will not change that philosophy. It will simply allow us to care for our patients and support our staff in a more comfortable and functional space.

Our Vision

In a real estate market increasingly dominated by out-of-town developers, I am hoping to find a place where Oak Valley can continue to grow deep roots. My goal is to build something beautiful, efficient, and locally owned. I envision a country-modern veterinary facility that fits naturally into the Hill Country landscape and continues serving this community with the same values we started with.

What We Are Looking For:

• 3 to 10 acres of unrestricted land.

• Within about 10 miles of Fredericksburg.

• Ideally along 1631 or north/east of town, but open to other possibilities.

• The Goal: A family-owned, mixed-animal practice dedicated to proactive, personalized care, with room to eventually grow our team to better serve our community.

I am working with a realtor and always watching the MLS closely, but as many of you know, some of the best opportunities in Fredericksburg never make it to a listing. They are often found through neighbors and quiet conversations.

If you know of land that might be a good fit, or if you know someone who might be interested in seeing their land used for a locally owned clinic, I would truly love to hear from you. Please feel free to message me directly or share this post with them.

Sometimes the next chapter begins simply by asking the community that helped build Oak Valley in the first place.

With gratitude,

Dr. Juliette Carroll
