These two kittens, Cash and Tango (🤗 quite the pair and LOVE their names), are 10 week old females and are looking for a place to call home. They are litter box trained. Preferably, would like to keep them together and to a home where they would be indoors! They are super cute and came in for their first rounds of vaccination and deworming.

The current fosters, took them in to help them get a good start and find a home. We are just here to help out!

If you are interested please call or message the clinic!

Vaccine handling protocols are shared below by the Beef Research Council.

In addition to those also keep in mind while working calves this Spring:
💉 Keep vaccine stored as directed in a cooler with ice packs and ideally out of direct sunlight.

💉 Most vaccinations this time of year for calves are labeled for calves that are 30 days or older. In order to get them immunized before sending off to grass, we find ourselves vaccinating 2-3 week old calves. Which is generally ok, as long as we realize that the processing of those calves could be a little harder on them.

💉 Have Epinephrine on hand

💉 Take a moment to walk through the group and look for any calves having reactions. Every vaccine has a disclaimer for causing anaphylaxis or a vaccine reaction typically being seen anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour after a shot. These calves will look like a dumpy, panting calf, that becomes weak very quickly. They can be treated with epinephrine and or dexamethasone. If we see a calf laying with its head down or standing head dropped or stretched out, we watch for breathing difficulty and we walk toward them to see if they respond. If they do not they get treated. Sometimes there are none, other times there might be just one reactor. Weather conditions and heat can also play a role and adds to stress.

We hope this information is useful!
If you do have questions give us a call. 📱

Happy Friday, from Tonks!
She is 3 years old and yes, a happy and healthy St. Bernard! We want her to stay that way, so we are working to reduce her weight over the next couple months. This will improve joint function and mobility along with her joint supplements.

It is that time of year where we can start getting our pets more active to shave off those winter LBs. 🙌

We also like to monitor and keep in mind any endocrine ailments or hormones that can also cause weight gain such as low thyroid hormones (T4)- (called hypothyroidism). Low T4 can reduce a pet’s metabolism causing symptoms such as dry brittle hair coat, fatigue, weak gait, depressed attitude and dark pigment to skin.

If you are concerned about your pet’s weight loss or weight gain give us a call and we would be happy to schedule a visit with your pet! 🐶 🐱

💫 Happy receptionist week- Kelli, Tara and Jordan!!

Thank you is sometimes not enough, but is said often! So we would like to recognize our lovely veterinary receptionists this week who go above and beyond for our clients and patients!

They do so much behind the desk and scenes of which many are listed below and more. Sometimes it can go unnoticed during the day to day workings of a vet clinic, the tasks and duties they perform effortlessly, it seems. But it really takes time, thought, consideration and you have to have your heart in it. And they DO!

We cannot thank them enough for their correspondence with patient records, maintaining the front office, arranging appointments and really listening to our client’s concerns and prioritizing scheduling.

We are so grateful for their time and dedication they put in each and every day!
