Greetings from the Practice Manager!
Welcome to summer! We'll certainly be feeling it this weekend.
Speaking of hot weather, please be sure your outdoor pets have plenty of water and shade. Dogs CAN get heatstroke. If you notice excessive panting and drooling, weakness, lethargy, confusion, and/or vomiting or diarrhea you should feel their skin, especially on ear and abdomen to be sure it isn't unusually warm, check their gums for discoloration (healthy gums are pink), and check to be sure their heart isn't racing. If you do find any of those symptoms, move the dog to a cool, shaded area, apply cool (not cold) water to the dog's head, neck, armpits and groin, offer cool (not cold) water to drink and use a fan to circulate the air around the dog. It is always good to call a vet or emergency vet (after business hours) to ask about having the dog seen. The closest emergency clinic to Harmony is Allied Veterinary Emergency located after hours in the Stewartville Vet Clinic. We do have their number and a direct connection to them on our phone answering system. Their phone number is 507-900-5600. We pray for safety for all of the people and animals in this heat index warning area!
Changes in the clinic seem to be constant, and not just physical changes although there are plenty of those going on as we improve our building to better serve customers. Dr. Jill has decided to move from mixed animal veterinary services to full-time small animal services. Many of you may have already seen her already as she has been doing quite a bit of small animal work over the past few months. We are excited for her to help meet our needs in this area. At this time we have two small animal veterinarians in the clinic every day of the week. This should help us be better suited when last minute illnesses or injuries need to be seen.
Unfortunately, the flip side of this is that we now only have three large animal veterinarians. Please be patient with us as we adjust to scheduling and call out needs with one less person available.
Thank you all for your loyalty to our clinic. We appreciate you!

Greetings from the Practice Manager!
I just started my 6th year with the clinic. (Time really does go faster as you get older!). During my 5 years, this young lady has spent time with us during her breaks and her internships/externships for college. She recently recounted her first experience with the clinic was when she was in 8th grade (before my time here) and did a ride along with Dr. Lynn. She spent some of the day squeezed between Dr. Lynn and Cory in the cab of his vet truck. Good thing that didn't scare her away. :) This weekend she becomes a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine by graduating from the University of Minnesota. She will be starting her career at a clinic in Wisconsin, they are lucky to have her. We wish her the very best!
Congrats Alyssa Gathje!!

PS: Yes, I hope some day she'll be able to join our clinic!

Greetings from the Practice Manager!
Anybody see missing flyers posted for me? 😆 No worries, I'm still here, just busy. That plus some things at home have interfered with my usual duties.
Since February we've emptied the Cresco clinic and shut down the operations there. We're still looking for a buyer for the building so please send anyone you know who may be interested my way.
If you've been in the clinic lately you may have noticed we are once again under construction. In order to best accommodate our customers, we are doing some expanding. Our first project was building a new small animal staff office in our open back room. We will be converting the current office to a third small animal exam room. The next phase of the project is to add on a larger surgery center and dog kennels with sound proofing (some of you may have been here when we have dogs that bark all day in the current kennels so you totally understand why this is exciting!). This phase also includes adding on to the existing tilt table area for our second tilt table which had been used in Cresco. We do not have a timeline for the next phase but have started talking to contractors.
Spring is definitely here, we have already seen a lot of ticks on dogs. Tick borne illness can be very serious and costly to care for so please be sure your dogs and cats are on a preventative.
Thank you to all of you for your patience through our transition. A special thanks to our Cresco clients who are joining us in Harmony!
PS I promise I'll make my next post sooner than the 2+ months its been for this one. :)

Due to the weather conditions, we are closing at 3:30. Be safe out there!

02/14/2025

Greetings from the Practice Manager!
Happy Valentines Day! Better yet, happy Friday and happy puppy day. Always a good day when we get a bucket of puppies to hold.
Halfway through February we finally have snow on the ground and cold weather. Just in time for calving season to ramp up. For those of you that aren't aware, we have a calf room for special care for calves that need it. It has individual calf crates with heat lamps and set ups for giving IVs to calves. These calves get watched pretty closely to ensure they are getting everything they need.
February 28 is the final day of business in our Cresco clinic. There's a lot of emotions to process around the closure but we know it gives us the best opportunity to provide high quality care while still remaining affordable. We will continue to support the Cresco community through advertising and donations. It is important to us to remain committed to our customers in the area while understanding some will travel the 17+/- miles to Harmony and some will not be able to.
We are anticipating an adjustment period in March while we adapt to additional staff in the Harmony office. We are also looking at some additional remodeling in the Harmony building to improve work flow and space for the added staff and equipment. This includes large animal as we move the tilt table from Cresco, which hasn't been used much over the last few years, to Harmony. We'll be able to do twice as many feet and breeding stock evaluations in the near future. Thank you in advance for your patience as we work through the changes.
We appreciate each and every one of you that give us the opportunity to meet the needs of your animals!

Greetings from the Practice Manager!
A different kind of update from me. Over the past couple of months our owners and I have been discussing current issues affecting our clinics. After a significant amount of data review and some emotional wrangling within ourselves, we have admitted that we can no longer keep the Cresco Veterinary Clinic open. There are many factors involved in this decision and instead of parsing them out here, I'll just include the contents of the letter that was mailed to our Cresco clients last week.

Dear Valued Cresco Client
It has been our pleasure to serve the Cresco community for the past nine years at our Cresco location. Unfortunately, due to economic changes and operational challenges, we have had to make the difficult decision to close the Cresco clinic. While the decision was difficult, it was a necessary one to assist us in utilizing our physical resources and staff as efficiently as possible to continue to prioritize affordable and high-quality care for our clients and their pets.

We will be scheduling appointments in Cresco through February 28th, 2025. After that we will continue to serve you at our Harmony location. We will be transitioning staff from Cresco to Harmony as we seek to care for both our Cresco and Harmony clients. Trina will join Christine at the front desk in Harmony. Tammy will join Allison & Stef to equal a combined 67 years of experience as Certified Veterinary Technicians. In conjunction with Dr. Taylor Nash and Dr. Jill Fisher, Dr. Jim Hanson will continue small animal veterinary care in Harmony where we will have two veterinarians and three technicians available most days to serve our customers as efficiently and timely as possible.

Our large animal services to Cresco clients will remain unchanged. We have expanded our large animal staff to include Dr. Denny Fischer and Dr. Jill Fisher to provide additional and more timely access in the Cresco, Harmony, and surrounding areas.

We look forward to continuing to meet your small animal needs at our Harmony location. We appreciate your loyalty to us in Cresco.

Thank you for trusting us with your animal’s care. We look forward to serving you for many years to come!

Dr. John Rein
Dr. Jeff Collins
Janee Kale (Practice Manager)

Not something we really anticipated but something that came out of hours of work and discussion. We will continue to seek ways to ensure our care is excellent and that our prices remain consistent and fair to the people in this area. Thank you all for understanding as we transition over the next few months.
(Also, we will be selling the building in Cresco after removing all of our equipment and inventory, if you are interested or know someone who is interested, please contact me).

Happy New Year (only a few days late)!
Just a quick note from me. If you've called the Harmony clinic recently you may be aware that we have a new phone system. Needless to say, there's a learning curve involved that we haven't quite mastered. If you call in and get cut off, or placed in some weird holding pattern, please call us back. We'll get it figured out eventually! 🙃
I'll be checking in with some more news soon! J

(A truck ride always tires me out too! 😁)

Greetings from the Practice Manager!
Happy December! Another month is streaking by us. :)
Today has been a busy day in the Harmony clinic! With that being said, I want to talk about appointment "no shows". We understand more than most probably that "things come up". We're constantly having to adjust schedules to address emergencies which means sometimes we don't get to a scheduled appointment on time and sometimes we end up moving an appointment to a different day. This is especially true on our large animal side, for some reason cows and horses just don't let their owners know when they're going to be sick, or cut themselves on the fence, or have their calf/foal. Man would life be a lot easier for us if they did! Even on the small animal side we run into snags when pet owners call in with a dog or cat who has had an accident or ate the baby's pacifier (one of my favorite stories is the explorative surgery on a dog that produced several baby pacifiers in his stomach). We do everything we can to make sure we can tend to those pets but sometimes we have to turn them away because we are fully booked for the day. It's very difficult to have to do that and it feels even worse when all of a sudden one of our scheduled appointments doesn't show up. Please think of how you would feel if you were turned away and then found out someone that was holding a spot didn't take it. Again, we totally understand that sometimes things come up. If that is the case, please call us so we can potentially call someone else to fill that spot giving another pet the opportunity to be treated faster and thus feel better faster. In order to ensure we are working to accommodate all clients, we will be requesting a deposit from customers who call for an appointment after consecutive "no show, no calls". The deposit will be applied to the appointment the day it is scheduled. Our goal is to try to meet the needs of all of our patients.
Just a reminder that our capacity for large animal care has expanded with the addition of Dr. Denny and Dr. Jill. Prior to them joining us it was a challenge to get everything done that needed to be done. If you call now for a large animal job, you may be surprised at how quickly we can get to you to get it done. :)
Thanks for trusting us to care for your animals!
(Dogs just love our swinging door at the front desk! :) )

Greetings from the Practice Manager!
Tis the season…for chute work! So thankful to be getting some of these done in nice weather. We do have openings so call and get yours booked.
A couple other items for our large animal clients. First, starting January 1, all purchases must be paid for upon pickup. Our distribution companies have tightened their time frames for collection so we need to do likewise. Second, if you need a large supply of vaccines, please call a day or two ahead to make sure we have it on hand. With the shorter payable times and the rising costs, we will be trying to keep our inventory closer to anticipated needs. We do have same day shipping (prior to 2 pm) with our distributors so most of the time we will be able to get it next day. Adapting to change isn’t always easy but hopefully these aren’t too taxing.
Regretfully, we are losing a valued member of our staff. Keeley, one of our front office staff, has given us her notice. She has been a great team member, we will definitely miss her! That being said, we will be hiring a receptionist to replace her. If you or someone you know would be interested in joining us, feel free to email me at [email protected].
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We’re thankful for our customers and wish each and every one of you a blessed holiday!
PS can’t resist sharing pictures of mini highlanders and a bucket of puppies!! 😊
