🚨 RABIES ALERT – MELBOURNE AREA 🚨

The Florida Department of Health in Brevard County has issued a 60-day rabies alert after a raccoon captured near Andrews Avenue in Melbourne on August 27 tested positive for rabies.

The affected area is bordered by:
• West Eau Gallie Boulevard to the north
• Sarno Road to the south
• Croton Road to the east
• North Wickham Road to the west

Rabies is currently present in the local wild animal population, so please use extra caution with wildlife and stray animals.

🐾 Keep your pets current on their rabies vaccinations.
🐾 Keep dogs on a leash when outside.
🐾 Secure livestock and outdoor animals.
🐾 Avoid contact with raccoons, bats, foxes, skunks, otters, bobcats, coyotes and stray animals.
🐾 Do not leave pet food or unsecured garbage outside where it may attract wildlife.

If you or your pet is bitten or scratched by a wild or stray animal, seek medical or veterinary attention immediately.

📞 Report human exposures to DOH-Brevard: 321-634-6337, option 3
📞 Report stray animals to Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services: 321-633-2024

And one more reminder from your veterinary team: even indoor pets should remain current on their rabies vaccines. Bats and other wildlife can occasionally find their way inside homes, and rabies is nearly always fatal once symptoms develop.

Please share so our Melbourne and Eau Gallie neighbors are aware. ❤️🐾

🐾 OK folks, we don’t typically get on our soapbox…but today is one of those days.

We have to do better.

We are fed up from seeing the consequences of irresponsible backyard breeding, dogs being produced over and over for one reason: financial gain. No meaningful health testing. No consideration for genetics, structure, temperament, or what kind of life those puppies may actually have.

And today, we were the ones left to clean up the mess.

On one of our doctor’s birthdays, instead of celebrating, she had to sit with this poor baby and help him peacefully leave this world.

He never had a chance. 💔

That is the part people don’t see.

They don’t see the families who are devastated. They don’t see the rescues trying desperately to save these dogs. They don’t see the veterinary nurses holding them, loving on them, and trying everything they can. And they don’t see the veterinarian who ultimately has to make the heartbreaking decision that suffering has gone far enough.

All because someone wanted to produce puppies and make money.

If you are going to purchase a dog, please do your homework. Find a responsible, preservation breeder.

Ask about health testing. Ask about genetics. Ask about the parents. Ask why that particular breeding was chosen. Ask what the breeder is doing to improve and preserve the breed. A responsible breeder will welcome those questions and will probably have plenty of questions for you, too.

And of course, adoption and rescue are wonderful options as well. ❤️

But please stop financially supporting people who continue producing poorly bred animals while everyone else is left trying to repair the damage.

Today one of our doctors had to give this puppy the peaceful ending he deserved because the people responsible for bringing him into this world didn’t give him the healthy beginning he deserved.

We can do better. We HAVE to do better.

For them. 🐾💔

🌈🐾 Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🐾🌈

Yesterday was Rainbow Bridge Remeberance Day, Although we missed the day, we want to still remember the ones who left paw prints on our hearts. ❤️

The dogs who greeted us like we’d been gone for years. The cats who somehow managed to take up an entire bed. The tiny companions, feathered friends, scaled friends, and every special soul who made our lives a little brighter simply by being in them.

Working in veterinary medicine means we have the privilege of watching many of your pets grow from babies into beloved old friends. It also means we sometimes have the heartbreaking honor of helping you say goodbye. We remember them, too. ❤️

On Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, we’d love to fill our page with the faces of the pets who are no longer beside us but will forever be part of our families.

🌈 Share a photo of your Rainbow Bridge baby in the comments, along with their name. Tell us something you loved about them, a favorite memory, or simply leave a ❤️.

Because no matter how much time passes, some paw prints never fade. 🐾🌈

Forever loved. Forever missed. Never forgotten.
Your EGVH Family ❤️

🦔💛 Tiny teef. Big personality. Maximum attitude.

Hedgehogs may look like little walking pincushions, but they can actually be hilarious, curious little pets with a TON of personality.

A few things to know before falling in love with that adorable face:

✨ They’re nocturnal, so their party often starts when yours ends.
✨ They need to stay warm, getting too cold can be dangerous for them.
✨ They LOVE to run, so a proper exercise wheel is a must.
✨ They can be shy at first, but with gentle, consistent handling many become very comfortable with their people.
✨ And yes… sometimes they cover themselves in foamy spit and contort their bodies to smear it onto their spines. It’s called anointing, and somehow it’s both fascinating and deeply weird. 😂

They may be small, but hedgehogs are definitely not “easy little cage pets.” They need proper housing, nutrition, enrichment, temperature control, and an exotic-pet veterinarian.

Basically: part potato, part cactus, part tiny nighttime menace. 🦔🌙

Who here has a hedgehog, or has always wanted one? Drop us a picture! 📸💕

Well folks… WE SURVIVED FRENCHIE FRIDAY. 😂🐾

10Frenchies.
10spays/neuters.
Approximately 947 snorts.
Several dramatic side-eyes.
A whole lot of anesthesia monitoring.
And somehow, everyone made it out with their sanity mostly intact. 😵‍💫

Huge shoutout to our team for absolutely tag-teaming the chaos today and keeping all 10 little potatoes safe, comfortable, and loved from drop-off through recovery. 💗

And a big thank you to Space Coast Frenchie Rescue and all of the fosters for trusting us with this crew.

Frenchie Friday: 10/10 completed.
Would we do it again? Absolutely.
Would we like a nap first? Also absolutely. 😂

A special shoutout to Samantha for coming in to help AFTER working an overnight shift at the ER (VEG). You are appreciated🙌🏻❤️

When two doctors tag-team a surgery, you know things are getting serious. 😂

Dr. Trottier + Dr. Credeur teamed up in surgery today and, because apparently this is just our life now… OF COURSE IT WAS A FRENCHIE. 🐾🤣

At this point, we’re pretty sure Frenchies are running the hospital and we’re all just employees.

Two doctors. One surgery. One very on-brand patient. Welcome to another completely normal day at EGVH. 😂🩺🐶

On a serious note, this poor girl had undergone a previous C-section and had a significant amount of scar tissue. Her ovaries were nearly adhered to the area around her kidneys, making what would normally be considered a routine spay much more complicated. Thankfully, she had two doctors working together to safely navigate all of that scar tissue and get her through surgery.

It’s a good reminder that sometimes “routine” spays aren’t routine at all. ❤️

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: FRIDAY IS FRENCHIE DAY. 🚨

We would like to apologize in advance for what will be happening at EGVH this Friday.

We have NO LESS THAN 10 FRENCH BULLDOGS coming in to be spayed and neutered. 😳🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷

Whose idea was this?

Pretty sure it was Space Coast Frenchie Rescue’s very own CEO Rux.
He has declined to comment. 😂

So if you come into the hospital Friday and hear excessive snorting, grunting, screaming (FOR NO REASON), suspicious pig noises, or a staff member yelling “WHOSE FRENCHIE IS THIS?!”, please remain calm.

Everything is probably fine.

Our surgery team will be surviving on caffeine, questioning their career, and the knowledge that we are doing our part to prevent approximately 47,000 future Frenchies.

We apologize in advance for the noise, the chaos, and the likelihood that by noon nobody will actually know which Frenchie belongs to whom.

Please keep our surgery team in your thoughts. 🙏😂

May the airways be open.
May the recoveries be smooth.
May the coffee be strong.

And may CEO Rux be held accountable for his decisions. 🐶👔

Stop wasting money on anesthesia-free dental cleanings. 🦷

They may make your pet’s teeth look cleaner, but that doesn’t mean the mouth is healthy. The most serious dental disease often lives below the gumline, where an awake cleaning simply cannot reach.

Anesthesia-free cleanings cannot properly clean beneath the gums, perform complete periodontal probing, take dental X-rays, or identify painful problems hiding under the surface. That means infection, bone loss, abscessed teeth, fractured roots, and advanced periodontal disease can continue while the visible part of the tooth looks perfectly clean.

The dog in this example had anesthesia-free cleanings every six months for years. Her teeth looked good on the outside, yet 18 teeth were abscessed.

If you’re going to spend money on your pet’s dental health, spend it on a complete veterinary dental procedure under anesthesia where the mouth can actually be evaluated, X-rayed, cleaned below the gumline, and treated appropriately.

Pretty teeth are not the same thing as healthy teeth. 🐾
