Today's Teamwork Thursday spotlight shines on the incredible Kailey! As our CSR, she's the warm and welcoming face that greets you at our clinic's doorstep. Since joining Oates in September 2020, Kailey has blossomed from a veterinary assistant to a rockstar at the front desk, masterfully juggling phone calls, checkouts, and warm welcomes. When she's not spreading joy at work, Kailey loves to unwind with her husband with video games, snuggle with her feline friends, or enjoy an epic family game night. We appreciate her always giving our clients a warm welcome and keeping the phones under control (even on the crazy days).

May is Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month. This post will focus on asthma. Have you ever wondered what asthma looks like on a x-ray for an animal?

One of our assistant's cat was diagnosed with asthma. She presented with a resting respiratory rate of 80 breaths per minute and coughing. A normal resting respiratory rate should be around 15-30 breaths per minute. She was started on Prednisolone and she is good as new!

Now that may not be the case for everyone and their pets. There have been times when we have reached for an inhaler, just like for humans, or bronchodilators. There are ways to limit the risk of your animal developing asthma by limiting airborne irritants, reducing stress, and keeping their environment clean.

Rise and shine, it's Teamwork Thursday! For the next few weeks, we're celebrating the incredible impact each team member makes every single day, and we can't wait to share their stories with you!

We're shining the spotlight on the heart behind our mission to care for the pets that walk through our doors! Dr. Kelsey Oakley, a beacon of compassion, joined our Oates family in June 2023. This incredible veterinarian started as a relief doctor, but soon discovered her true calling among our amazing team. When she's not spreading joy and healing, you can find her surrounded by her beloved menagerie of goats, baby cows, chickens, dogs, and cats. And, of course, who could forget her special furry son, Big Jim Capone? 🐾 We're forever grateful for Dr. Oakley's unwavering dedication, her wealth of knowledge, and her infectious sense of humor that brightens every day! 💫

Is Your Pet Protected? It’s National Pet ID Week! 🐾
​Losing a pet is a nightmare no owner wants to face, but did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing at some point in their lives? Collars and tags are great, but they can break or fall off. A microchip is a permanent way to give your pet a voice if they ever get lost.
​At Oates Veterinary Clinic, we use HomeAgain microchips to provide that extra layer of security and peace of mind.

Call us today to schedule your pet to get microchipped! This can be done without an exam with the doctor.
