Relief vets are licensed Veterinarians who step in to support a Vet Clinic or Hospital’s regular Veterinary Team. They help us:

• Keep more appointment times available
• Continue caring for patients when Dr. Colby is away
• Reduce scheduling delays during busy periods
• Provide additional Veterinary support for special clinic days

Here at Windward Animal Hospital, Dr. Norman has been helping our team keep things moving — and pictured here she and Alexa are hard at work during one of our Low-Cost Rabbit Days!

Having an experienced Relief Veterinarian available gives any Independent Veterinary Hospital something incredibly valuable: flexibility.

It allows us to continue taking care of our community, support our veterinary team, and provide more opportunities for pets to receive the care they need.

And on Rabbit Day… it means a whole lot of bunnies get some extra attention!

One of our adorable guinea pig patients stopped by Windward Animal Hospital for a recheck today, and of course we had to grab a picture!

Recheck visits are an important part of making sure our patients are progressing as expected. Depending on the reason for the original visit, our veterinary team may reassess things such as weight, appetite, activity level, healing, medication response, and any changes noticed at home.

Guinea pigs can be especially good at hiding when something isn’t quite right, so keeping an eye on their normal eating habits, behavior, and bathroom habits is important.

And yes — we absolutely love seeing our small and exotic patients come through the door.

Dental Health Matters — and It Starts With More Than Just a Pretty Smile! 😬

One of our many chronic dental patients is a rabbit, and cases like this are an important reminder of just how essential routine dental care can be.

Rabbit teeth are unique because they continue growing throughout their lives. When the teeth don’t wear evenly, rabbits can develop sharp points, overgrowth, abnormal alignment, and other painful dental problems. Some rabbits require ongoing dental monitoring and maintenance to keep them comfortable and eating normally.

AND DENTAL DISEASE ISN'T JUST A RABBIT PROBLEM….

Dogs and cats can develop plaque, tartar, gingivitis, periodontal disease, painful or infected teeth, and problems hidden below the gumline that may not be obvious just by looking in their mouth.

That’s why a true veterinary dental cleaning is about much more than removing visible tartar. A proper dental procedure allows the veterinary team to thoroughly examine the mouth, clean above and below the gumline, evaluate each tooth, and address problems that could otherwise continue causing pain and infection.

Pets are also very good at hiding oral discomfort. Bad breath, dropping food, chewing differently, eating on one side, decreased appetite, pawing at the mouth, excessive drooling, or suddenly becoming picky with food can all be reasons to have their mouth evaluated.

DENTAL MAINTENANCE IS PREVENTIVE MEDICINE!

Whether your pet has continuously growing teeth like a rabbit or a mouth full of canine or feline teeth, regular oral examinations and appropriate professional dental care can help identify problems earlier, protect oral health, and most importantly, keep them comfortable.

If you’re noticing changes in your pet’s eating habits, breath, chewing, or mouth—or you’re simply unsure when their last dental evaluation was—ask your veterinarian to take a look.

A Little Extra Weight Can Have a Big Impact!

Those extra pounds may look harmless, but carrying too much weight can affect nearly every part of your pet’s health. Overweight dogs and cats have a greater risk of arthritis, joint injuries, diabetes, breathing problems, high blood pressure, kidney disease, complications during anesthesia, and a reduced quality of life. Excess weight can also make everyday activities—walking, playing, grooming, climbing stairs, or jumping—more difficult and uncomfortable.

Weight Management is not about simply feeding less. Every pet has different nutritional needs based on age, breed, activity level, current health, and ideal body condition.

At Windward Animal Hospital, our veterinary team can help by:

• Evaluating your pet’s weight and body condition
• Reviewing meals, portions, treats, and feeding habits
• Recommending appropriate nutrition and realistic activity changes
• Helping your family replace food-based rewards with healthier habits
• Monitoring progress and adjusting the plan as your pet’s needs change

Small, consistent changes can improve mobility, energy, comfort, and long-term health. A healthier weight can give your pet a better opportunity for a longer, more active life.

Schedule a visit with Windward Animal Hospital and let’s build a safe, personalized Weight Management plan for your pet.

Nature really does have some crazy twists! 🦎

This reptile came to Windward Animal Hospital with an unusual surprise—a second tail growing from the original tail. Some lizards can regrow part of their tail after an injury. Occasionally, if the original tail is damaged but not completely detached, the healing process may produce an additional tail branch.

This uncommon condition is often called a bifurcated or duplicated tail.

While it may look strange, any new growth, injury, swelling, discoloration, or change in a reptile’s tail should be evaluated by an experienced veterinarian to make sure the tissue is healthy and not causing discomfort or mobility problems.
And yes—we concealed his identity so he would not be embarrassed. 😄

It was a slithery kind of day at Windward Animal Hospital! We recently welcomed several snakes for their initial veterinary visits.

Just like dogs and cats, snakes benefit from routine veterinary care. An initial visit allows the veterinarian to evaluate overall body condition, discuss habitat setup, temperature and humidity needs, feeding habits, shedding, and any changes in behavior.
Because reptiles often hide signs of illness, regular exams can help identify concerns before they become more serious. Snake owners should watch for changes in appetite, difficult or incomplete sheds, unusual breathing, swelling, mouth irritation, abnormal stool, or changes in activity.

Whether your snake is new to the family or an established companion, proper husbandry and routine veterinary care are important parts of keeping them healthy.

A rabbit’s teeth continue growing throughout its life. Chewing hay and other fibrous foods helps wear the teeth down, but some rabbits develop dental problems that prevent the teeth from wearing evenly.

Rabbits may need their teeth trimmed because of:
• Abnormal tooth alignment, also called malocclusion
• Uneven tooth wear
• Dental trauma or a previously damaged tooth
• Jaw shape or inherited dental conditions
• Overgrown front teeth
• Sharp points on the cheek teeth
• Tooth-root disease or infection

Overgrown teeth can make it difficult or painful for a rabbit to eat. They may also cause cuts or sores inside the mouth, drooling, weight loss, reduced stool production, facial swelling, runny eyes, or changes in behavior.

Some dental problems are not visible by looking at the front teeth. Rabbits also have cheek teeth farther back in the mouth, and these teeth can develop sharp edges or uneven growth.

Signs of rabbit dental problems may include:
• Eating less or refusing certain foods
• Dropping food while chewing
• Choosing only soft foods
• Drooling or a wet chin
• Weight loss
• Smaller or fewer droppings
• Facial swelling
• Runny eyes
• Reduced grooming
• Tooth grinding or signs of discomfort

Rabbit dental problems can worsen quickly and may contribute to gastrointestinal stasis if pain causes the rabbit to stop eating. Any change in appetite, chewing, droppings, or behavior should be evaluated.

Why your dog’s annual wellness exam is more than just a “check-up” - Think of your dog’s annual wellness exam at Windward Animal Hospital as their yearly “health snapshot.”

While we’re always here when your pup isn't feeling well, the most important part of our job is keeping them healthy before problems even start. An annual wellness exam is about much more than just a quick look-over; it’s about establishing baseline health data.

Why does a "baseline" matter? Every dog is unique! By documenting your dog’s weight, heart rate, temperature, blood work, and behavioral patterns when they are healthy, we have a clear reference point.

If your dog ever does get sick or injured in the future, having that baseline allows us to:
✅ Identify subtle changes immediately.
✅ Compare current results against their personal “normal.”
✅ Detect potential issues (like early-stage kidney disease or dental issues) before they become major concerns.

What to expect during a visit: During your visit to our Johns Creek clinic, we perform a comprehensive nose-to-tail physical, discuss preventative care (like flea, tick, and heartworm protection), and update any necessary vaccinations. It’s also the perfect time to chat with us about changes in your dog’s energy, appetite, or mobility.

Ready to get your pup on the calendar? Let’s work together to ensure they stay happy, active, and healthy for years to come.
