🐾 Forever Home Needed 🐾

We have a sweet senior lady looking for a cozy place to call her own! 💕

This 16-year-old kitty may be a little hard of hearing, but she’s otherwise healthy, spayed, and up to date on all her vaccines. She still has plenty of love to give and would make a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a calm, gentle soul.

If you have room in your heart (and your lap!) for a senior sweetheart, give us a call! 🐱💖

🎃👻 Happy Halloween from Locust Trace Veterinary Clinic! 👻🎃

This Halloween, remember that the spooky season can be tricky for our furry friends! 🐾 While you enjoy the treats, here are some important tips to keep your pets safe tonight:

🍬 Candy is a no-go! Chocolate, xylitol, and other sweets can be very dangerous for pets.
🧡 Costumes with caution: Make sure costumes are comfortable, non-restrictive, and don’t have small parts your pet could swallow.
🚪 Keep pets safe: Busy doorways and trick-or-treaters can stress some animals. Consider keeping pets in a quiet room with their favorite toys.
🎃 Decor beware: Candles and small decorations can be hazards. Stick to flameless lights and avoid anything your pet can chew.

📸 We’d love to see your pets in their Halloween costumes! Share your festive photos in the comments! 🐶🐱

Stay safe, and have a spook-tacular Halloween! 🕸️🕷️

🚨 **PARVO CASES RISING IN LEXINGTON** 🚨
Lexington animal clinics are seeing a noticeable increase in **Canine Parvovirus (parvo)** cases locally — including in **adult dogs**, not just puppies. Parvo is **highly contagious** and can be **life-threatening** if not treated quickly.

💉 **VACCINATION is the best prevention.** Make sure your dog — regardless of age — is **up to date on their parvo vaccine**.

⚠️ **Know the signs of parvo**:

* Vomiting
* Bloody or foul-smelling diarrhea
* Lethargy or weakness
* Loss of appetite
* Fever or abdominal pain

🏥 **We now have the Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody** on hand — a breakthrough treatment that significantly improves survival rates when used early. Combined with supportive care, it offers dogs a much better chance at recovery.

If your dog shows any symptoms, **contact us immediately**. Early treatment saves lives.

📞 859-225-0303
