If you have visited us recently, you may have noticed we have some new faces at our clinic….

Introducing Dr. Melanie Valle DVM!🩺🐾

Dr. Melanie was born and raised right here in Stockbridge, Georgia and has lived her her whole life! She has always loved animals ever since she was a little girl and has always wanted to be a veterinarian as far back as she can remember.. in her words, she is literally living her dream! ☁️🩵

For undergrad Dr. Melanie went to Georgia Tech where she graduated with her bachelor’s degree in biology and minored in leadership studies. She then got accepted into vet school through the University of Georgia where she graduated with her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine! GO DAWGS!❤️🐾🐶

Dr. Melanie’s favorite part of practicing Veterinary Medicine is contributing to an improved quality of life for owners and their pets through client communication.📜🗣️
However, outside of being a vet, Dr. Melanie loves hiking, being outside near the water, traveling, and spending time with family.🌅

Dr. Melanie currently has 2 cats and a dog that she loves dearly. She definitely has a soft spot for special needs and senior patients. Her favorite animal is a sea turtle, after seeing how peaceful and majestic they are when swimming with them in Hawaii. Dr. Melanie also loves how they are associated with strength and wisdom. 🏝️🐢

We all love Dr. Melanie’s sweet and caring nature and she always comes into the office ready to help and heal our community, one pet at a time, and we know you’ll love her too🩺❤️🐾

Is your pet showing symptoms of an ear infection?😣

🦠Are they scratching or pawing at their ears?
🦠Shaking their head or tilting it to one side?
🦠Sensitive when you rub around their ears?
🦠Do they have a lot of debris in their ears that is causing an odor?

These are common symptoms of an ear infection in dogs and cats, and they can vary in severity. Ear infections can either be fungal, bacterial, or BOTH! This is why it's important to bring your pet in to diagnose the type of infection so that we can get the right medication and get your pet some relief!

Call today to make an appointment if your pet is showing symptoms of an ear infection!

What is Canine Parvo Virus (CPV) and how does it affect our community?
🐾LET'S CHAT!🐾
Parvo virus is a highly contagious disease caused by CPV-2. The virus is normally spread by coming into contact with infected canines, f***s from infected canines, or contact with surfaces/humans that have been exposed to CPV. Such surfaces can include kennels, food and water bowls, collars and leashes, and the hands and clothing of people who handle infected dogs. This means that a walk through a busy park, going to the pet store, or even walking around in your neighborhood can be dangerous for young or unvaccinated dogs! It is important to know that wild animals such as coyotes and foxes can also carry CPV and can infect your property, leaving your dog vulnerable even if they don't leave your residence!😖

Although Parvo season is considered the spring and summer months due to the warm and humid climate, it is present and can be infectious year-round. The virus is resistant to heat, cold, humidity, and drying, and can survive in the environment for long periods (up to a year or more!).😱

All dogs are susceptible to getting Canine Parvo Virus; however, the dogs greater at risk are puppies between 6-20 weeks old, unvaccinated dogs, or improperly vaccinated dogs.🐕

The symptoms of CPV are:
🦠Lethargy
🦠Loss of appetite
🦠Vomiting
🦠Severe Diarrhea (often with blood)
🦠Abdominal Pain or Bloating
🦠Fever and Dehydration
‼️IF YOUR DOG IS SHOWING ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, IMMEDIATELY CONTACT YOUR VETERINARIAN. EARLY TESTING/TREATMENT CAN SAVE LIVES.‼️

Ultimately this all leads to the question of... "How do I protect my dog from CPV?"
And the answer is that VACCINATION is the best prevention!💉
Make sure that your pets are fully up to date on Distemper/Parvo vaccines and boosters to dramatically reduce the risks of your pet catching CPV📉 and of course you can always consult with your Veterinarian for any additional tips and tricks.❤️🩺

Before the dental🦠… and ✨after the dental✨

Sully the Golden Retriever had some build up on his teeth and absolutely needed a dental cleaning! This happens to our pets (dogs and cats) as they age and can lead to things like bad breath, sensitivity, or even losing teeth! Luckily Sully has awesome owners and they got it scheduled right away!

He was the best (and snuggliest) patient throughout the whole procedure and we were able to get his teeth shiny and white again🦷🪥✨

Does your pet have stinky breath or bad teeth? WE CAN HELP!
🦷Call to schedule a dental consultation today!🦷
