Riverwalk Animal Hospital wants you to remember the pets! ♥️🐾💙

“The best time to prepare for a hurricane is before the season begins, when you have the time and are not under pressure. If you wait until a hurricane is on your doorstep, the odds are that you will be under duress and will make the wrong decisions.” —National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS)

Meet Haas 💙. He 7 years old and was brought into Riverwalk Animal Hospital after an encounter with a raccoon. Dr. Carrie and Veterinary Technician Lily followed protocol to the letter. Most importantly, Haas is current on his rabies vaccination and wellness plan. Stay current on rabies vaccinations - it’s our SC law and can be lifesaving.

SECTION 47-5-60. INOCULATION OF PETS; A pet owner must have his pet inoculated against rabies at a frequency to provide continuous protection of the pet from rabies using a vaccine approved by the department and licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture. The rabies inoculation for pets must be administered by a licensed veterinarian or someone under a licensed veterinarian's direct supervision, as defined in Section 40-69-20. Evidence of rabies inoculation is a certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian.

The year 2000 marked incredible turning points. Mattel introduced the 2000 Pet Doctor Barbie, while Dr. Stacy O'Quinn opened Riverwalk Animal Hospital, one of her many extraordinary achievements. We are all proud of Dr. Stacy O'Quinn and Mattel for promoting the veterinary profession.

🥰Kema🥰

Is she being camera shy or truly “showing off her nails”?

This love, Skye, was in for a skin evaluation when Veterinary Technician Laci noticed it was time to test for heartworm. ✅ Dr. Stacy O'Quinn swiftly filled the hub with Skye's blood to send off for analysis. Y'all need to know how much we at Riverwalk Animal Hospital like to test for heartworm since here in the low country have one of the highest incidences in the country. 😫
‼️Test every year! Give prevention every month.‼️

This poor fella is very stressed in the shelter environment. Please reach out to Raskel's Rescue and share. 💙🐾♥️

We rarely make a true “this dog desperately needs help” post. But today, we are.
Meet Whiskey. Whiskey came to us as a stray through animal control and, despite everything he’s been through, this boy absolutely adores people. Truly. He lights up around humans, leans in for affection, and has stolen all of our hearts here at Raskel’s Rescue.
But shelter life is proving to be incredibly hard on him. While Whiskey loves people, he is not comfortable around other dogs, and the constant stress of the shelter environment is taking a serious toll on him emotionally. Honestly, for the first time ever, we are finding ourselves asking whether remaining in the shelter is truly fair to him.
So today, we are pleading for help.
Whiskey needs out. Now.
He needs a home where he can decompress, breathe, and finally feel safe. He needs to be the only dog in the home, but we promise you this: the love he gives to his people is something special. Whether it’s a rescue willing to step in, a foster home, or — the dream scenario — a forever family, Whiskey needs someone willing to take a chance on him.
Please help us help Whiskey. Share far and wide. His person may be out there right now and just hasn’t seen him yet.

Sweet senior kitty Maggie ♥️ had a little bit to say about Dr. Joshua Mitchum flashing that bright light in her eye at Riverwalk Animal Hospital. Veterinary Technician Laci bonded quickly with Maggie and maintained trust throughout the senior wellness exam. 👏👏👏 Maggie is 15 years young, and her loving mom keeps her on track with her wellness plan, including senior wellness exams every 6 months. 💙🐾♥️
