Green Pasture Pet Vet

Per doctor's orders and the physical nature of this career, I will be taking it easy this week due to restrictions from having an emergency surgical procedure today.
Thank you for understanding! I will hopefully be cleared in about a week. And I hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend...I bet it was way better than mine😉😂!
And remember to drink plenty of water!

Squeaky, at a whopping 1.8 pounds, made it impossible to work today😍😍😍.
I saw him late last night for hook removal and he didn't let his wounds stop him from rubbing up on the kennel door for attention, blissfully alligator rolling while having his head scratched(he may have rolled right out of the kennel a few times🤣), and being an absolutely lovable endless purr box🤣. I was amazed at his great manners (no play biting or scratching, which is very common in kittens)! His owners did a fabulous job!

I will be closed the rest of the week for a family funeral. Thanks for understanding.

These 3 came to visit me in my surgical suite😍😍😍 The last time I saw them they were "fixed" and I loved that they were still so happy to see me❤️. Their owners did a great job!

They had some vaccs updated and got their choice of prevention, Nexgard Plus. Ticks have already been popping up on pets in the last couple weeks. As a solo vet that tailors to the various needs of my patients, I can order in your preferred prevention as long as we have a current vet-client-patient relationship...and you know me, I will either deliver it or send it directly to you!

I am out of town this weekend, cheering on my girl at regionals!!!
She has grown so much physically and mentally this season. What a great experience! My favorite was learning about Gold Fish Mentality: Learn from your mistakes; don't dwell on them. Stay positive, and keep moving forward. Allow others to do so as well and don't hold their mistakes against them. Life lessons learned from volleyball😉

I am pleased to announce that our very own clinic cat, Flavi Burrito, has been chosen as the National Aeronatic's Feline Space Exploration Program (NAFSEP) candidate. Flavi's trip will start October 18, 2025, exactly 62 years since the last cat took a trip to space. The purpose of the exploration program is to study how Feline Herpesvirus simplex 1 (FHV-1) is affected by microgravity. Join us October 4 from 1-3pm in sending Flavi off. We hope this trip will clear him from his constant eye goobers!

🤣🤣🤣 Happy April Fool's Day! Can't wait to see if my kids fall for this after school

I cringe when pets get into the trash. Tremorgenic mycotoxins found on moldy food cause big problems. These mycotoxins are commonly found on decaying organic material like burn/garbage piles, compost, silage, carcasses.

🚨 🚨 Did you know that tremorgenic mycotoxins, produced by mold, can be harmful to pets? They're often found when pets munch on moldy food from the kitchen trash or compost piles.

Stay informed—check out our blog to learn more about this dangerous toxin: https://aercmn.com/tremorgenic-mycotoxin-intoxication-in-pets

So my home county, Crawford County(CC), developed a CC Women in Business Impact Organization. As if I am not busy enough with 4 active kids, running my own business, and supporting my husband’s business😉, I have become passionate about organizing a similar organization here.

I put together a jotform to see if there is interest in forming a similar, but adaptable to this area, organization here. Scan the QR code or link below:

https://form.jotform.com/250704042338045

Over the past, roughly, 5 years of running my own small business, I have been able to meet numerous small business owners all over NW IA and I have found that I can relate with all of them.

Current thoughts:

Collabration with women small business owners to make a community impact while preserving self-care*. Eventually, thinking scholarship or mentorship programs for young women. Maybe even meeting speakers or de-stressing meetings.

Feature a woman-owned local business periodically on social media.

Preserve what is important. Develop. Collaborate and Innovate. We can go anywhere when we keep ourselves healthy and put our minds together.

*self-care. I work in an extremely stressful field with an extremely high burn-out rate and su***de rate. I have found that setting boundaries, time by myself, time with friends, being outdoors, working out, and time with God are vital to me. In the questionaire, there is a question about self-care and if you want to be part of a group devotion or prayer before meetings.

Here is a facebook group to join as well.

Please share and let's make this happen!

I have been spaying and neutering farm cats like crazy! With these warmer temps and longer days, now is the time to prevent those early spring litters.

This stray boy was on death's doorstep last week from untreated fighting wounds. He was found just in time. Neutering him decreases that fighting and roaming behavior.
