**PLEASE NOTE- these are quick 15min appts for healthy dogs to get a Rabies vaccine only at this special event. We will be performing very brief physical (wellness) exams prior to giving the vaccine just to assess the pet for any obvious reason it may not be in their best medical interest to receive a vaccine. For all other medical needs, please visit our website to schedule an exam during normal business hours***

🥰”Feel Good Friday” post! Today we want to share and celebrate an extra special patient named Luna. She came to see us as an emergency with a complicated history and symptoms that had not improved despite medical care at her regular vet. After looking at her abdominal radiographs (x-rays) we had a high suspicion that she needed surgery immediately, though the images didn’t fully prepare us for what we would find… she had a perforated ulceration in her small intestines (sorry for the graphic second photo- don’t look if you’re squeamish 😵‍💫) with septic peritonitis. Put simply, there was hole in her GI tract and material that was being digested was oozing out into her abdomen causing massive inflammation / infection. Her owners were fully committed to her recovery even with the guarded prognosis and once she was stable enough to be transferred that night, they drove her down to the critical care vet facility in Denver where she stayed for several days. They worked diligently to provide her the home care she needed over the coming days/weeks and slowly she got better! The 3rd photo shows our champagne toast the day she came for her sutures to be removed and the 4th is Luna with her family last week. She has fully recovered from this scary situation and we wanted to highlight her story as one of true team work— between her owners, her primary care vet, the urgent care/surgical intervention we provided at MMV, and the post-operative supportive care she had at 24-hr care facility in Denver. It truly “takes a village” to care for the most critical pets, and we are also giving a shout out to all of those in our community that supported Luna’s family and make what we do possible 🫶🐾🏔️🚐

**FAMILY VACATION CLOSURE ALERT** Summertime is here and we are taking our kiddos on a family trip. The clinic will be closed and we will not be accessible Saturday June 13th- Monday June 22nd. Please contact us ASAP if you need medications filled for your pet this week or have concerns you need to discuss. Please see our website home page for alternative vet care options in our abscence.

One of our kitty patients demonstrating that a vet visit and getting vaccines doesn’t have to be scary! We use treats as a way to distract from the things we have to do and keep restraint to a minimum, leading to a more positive experience for all 🫶🐾. Of course, some patients prefer us to come to their home instead, so keep in mind that we offer house calls too! 🏔️🚐

This is consistent with reports we’ve been getting from pet owners finding ticks on themselves and their dogs going back as early as March and as close to town as Hayden Meadows and Cooper (in addition to Twin Lakes and of course BV and Salida too). Remember to take precautions to protect yourself and your pets this summer. If you haven’t already started giving parasite prevention monthly to your dog/ cat this is a good reminder that it’s time! If you’re not sure which medication is best for your pet, please reach out.

The primary risk in Colorado comes from two closely related species: the American dog tick and the Rocky Mountain wood tick, state health officials said.

Important scheduling information- this email went out to all active clients today 🫶🐾🚐

Dear Clients,

Over the past several weeks, many of you may have noticed that our appointment schedule has been filling several weeks in advance, and some clients have contacted us concerned that our online scheduling portal was not functioning properly. We want to reassure you that the portal is working as intended — our schedule has simply become much busier than anticipated. We are incredibly grateful for the trust and support the community continues to show our clinic, and we wanted to take a moment to let you know what to do if your pet has an emergency or urgent medical need and you do not see any open availability for appointments in the portal. Additionally, we wanted to share a few other updates and make you aware of dates the clinic will be closed in the coming months to aid in scheduling upcoming wellness visits and anesthetic procedures.

We will do our best to squeeze you in as soon as possible, often we can accommodate same day work-ins for sick/ injured pets, so please call (leave a voicemail)/ text/ or email, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

***What to do if you have concerns about your pet that you do not think can wait until the next open appointment you see in the online pet portal, but it is NOT an emergency:

Call, text, or email us with the concern you are having and when you would like to try to get in to see us. If you call and we are unable to answer, please leave a detailed voicemail and we will return it as soon as we are able. You can also go ahead and book the next available appointment time that you see-- please indicate in the notes on the appointment what your concern is and that you are requesting to be seen sooner than the selected appt (and then- please call, text, or email us to alert us to the concern).
***What to do if your pet is experiencing an urgent medical emergency that you feel they need to be seen for ASAP, including after-hours or weekend urgent care concerns:

Call us (leave a detailed voicemail if is after-hours/ on the weekend) - we will get back to you and let you know if we are available/ in-town to help. Please keep in mind that for after-hours urgent care/ emergency visits, there is an additional fee (see our website for more information) and that you will need to transport the pet to us at the parking location (117 W 10th street). We do update our voicemail recording to indicate when we are unavailable to help due to being out of town, so please listen to the recording carefully.
*Please also note that we will have our phones on “do not disturb” after 9pm and that our availability is often subject to childcare availability and our children’s extracurricular activities/ other family commitments.


Upcoming known Closure Dates through the summer:
We will be closed and out of town/ unreachable this weekend (5/15-5/17) and June 13-21.

We will also be closed Monday 5/25 in observance of Memorial Day and Friday 7/3 in observance of the 4th of July.

Thank you for taking the time to review this information and for your patience and understanding as we continue to work to find solutions that can help maximize our availability to best serve you and your pets.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jen & Dr. Paul Sikoski
