Could you recognize the signs of heat stroke before it’s too late? Join us for Beat the Heat, a community pet safety event at Sactown Vet, and learn how to protect your dog during the hottest months of the year.

Early signs of heat stroke
What to do if your pet overheats
Which dogs are at greater risk
Simple ways to help your dog stay cool and safe

Tickets are $10, and 100% of the proceeds will benefit Mercer Veterinary Clinic (🐾Mercer Veterinary Clinic🐾), which helps provide care for pets of people experiencing homelessness—a community that is often the most affected by the heat.

We don’t care if you have $50 in your pocket or $5000. Telling us what you can and can’t afford directly is awesome, and guess what? WE DO NOT JUDGE! We want to help you do what’s best for your pet and we will do that within any budget. We will always be transparent about best recommendations within your budget and what appropriate expectations should be.

We love you and your direct communication! And we know you care deeply about your pet—it’s why you brought them to see us in the first place. How much money you have in your wallet doesn’t change how much your pet means to you, and we know that.

Doggos, learn from Luna Marie and DO NOT EAT YOUR PARENTS’ cords! Not only will it cost your parents lots of money, you will suffer by being forced to vomit and then your shame will be posted all over the internet. 🙃

I don’t actually think Luna Marie regrets anything and if given the chance, she’d do it again.

And good news: her follow up x-rays showed some of the cords had moved along so she doesn’t have to come back… for now…

There is a reason you’ll hear us talk about different forms of imaging (x-rays, ultrasounds and more) for the same issue in your pet. It’s because there isn’t one form of easily-accessible imaging that clearly tells the whole story!

Mabel presented to us for urinary issues, so x-rays were taken and a stone identified. No problem, we can remove that! Owner was very motivated so we got that surgery scheduled. Nothing unusual was noted on the radiographs by the radiologist.

Then SURPRISE: when we went in to remove the stone there was a huge tumor attached to the bladder! Ah!!! That changes the surgery quite a bit. The owner was given options and asked us to try to remove it, so we did. And the best news? It came back as a tumor of the muscle and was completely excised, which means Mabel is CURED 🥳🥳🥳

So while this all worked out, x-rays didn’t tell the whole story. An ultrasound absolutely would have told us about the mass. So in this case they would have been complementary. Normally we collect urine from these kiddos with an ultrasound, but Mabel didn’t tolerate it so we never got to peak at her bladder. So surprise tumor we got instead!

We have so much fun at the Doggy Dash this past weekend. Thank you for all of our current clients who came by and said hello—it was so fun to see familiar faces 😍

We handed out tons of pup cups, administered a very accurate “what kind of dog parent are you?” quiz, gave away a ton of free swag, and chatted with a bunch of new folks who hadn’t heard of us (gasp!).

Such a lovely event hosted by the 🥰 Can’t wait to do it again!

Dr. Cole, Sophie and Josie had such a great time dishing out pup cups, Easter egg goodies and hanging out with you all at Easter event 🐰💐

It was so fun seeing familiar faces and meeting new folks, too! Were you at the event? Did you come say hi 👋?

We hope you all have a happy Easter celebrating with your human and fur companions 🐣🐇 We’ll be back in the office on Monday if you need us.

Poor Chapo had an enormous and VERY painful ear hematoma. As a result, his owner elected to take him to surgery to drain the hematoma (which immediately relieves the discomfort of the swelling) and suture the site so it doesn’t refill back up.

Watch the video to see the drainage and the completed (bloody!!) repair. What questions do you have about this? Could you handle cleaning Chapo up at home if he was your dog (because, unfortunately, it does continue to drain for a couple days) or would that amount of gore make you squeamish? 😳

Mosquitoes are coming out in full force, and that means those pets of yours that aren’t on heartworm prevention are AT RISK 🚨

Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes. This disease can be deadly and takes 6-9 months to diagnose. During that time, irreversible damage has already occurred to your pets cardiovascular system.

So please, please just prevent heartworm. Prevention is so much cheaper than treatment 🙏 Talk to us about options! There are oral options, topical and injectable! 🥳
