🎃👻 Tomorrow’s Halloween, and things are about to get a little SPOOKY! 🐾🦇

Between the doorbell ringing nonstop, strangers in costumes, and candy magically appearing everywhere, Halloween can be a lot for our four-legged friends! 🐶🐱

Before the ghosts and goblins come knocking, here are a few reminders to keep your pets safe:

🍫 Keep the candy for the humans! Chocolate, xylitol-containing sweets, and candy wrappers can be dangerous for pets. Keep those treat bowls out of paw’s reach!

🚪 Beware of escape artists! With doors constantly opening for trick-or-treaters, even the best-behaved pets might make a run for it. Give them a safe, cozy space away from the commotion.

👻 Costumes should be cute, not scary! Make sure your pet can breathe, move, and see comfortably. And if they’re not feeling the costume, there’s nothing wrong with going as their adorable selves!

🔊 Not everyone loves a good scare! Doorbells, unfamiliar faces, and spooky decorations can be overwhelming. Consider some calming music, a favorite toy, or a quiet room to help them relax.

💊 Have an anxious little monster? Don’t wait until the spooky festivities begin to make a plan!

🐾 Oakhurst will be open Saturday from 8 AM–2 PM! If you need any last-minute calming treats or veterinarian-prescribed anxiety medications, give us a call so our team can help you prepare!

🧡 Stay safe, have fun, and have a fang-tastic Halloween from all of us at Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital! 🎃🐾

🎉 A day late and a dollar short… but NEVER too late to celebrate the BEST bosses around! ❤️🐾

For Boss’s Day, we decided to surprise two very special people who deserve all the recognition (and maybe a little embarrassment 😉) — Debbie and Dr. McKenzie!

If you know Debbie, you know she LOVES the one and only Nurse John! 😂 So when we found out he just so happened to be going on tour, we knew exactly what we had to do. 🎟️🎤 Surprise! She’s going to see him LIVE!

Now, for Dr. McKenzie… we decided to take things in a slightly different direction. 🎸🤘 We surprised her with a ROCKSTAR TELEGRAM! Yes, you read that right. Apparently, singing telegrams are still a thing, and boy, are we glad they are! Let’s just say watching that performance was a gift for ALL of us. 😂🎶

All jokes aside, there truly aren’t enough words to express how much these two incredible women mean to us. ❤️

Their dedication, hard work, compassion, and unwavering support have created so much more than just a workplace. They’ve built a team that feels like family, a place where we can grow, laugh, lean on one another, and genuinely love what we do.

So here’s to the women who lead by example, give their all, and somehow manage to put up with all of us along the way! 😂❤️

Happy (belated) Boss’s Day, Debbie and Dr. McKenzie! We appreciate you more than you’ll ever know! 🥹💕

Dear Oakhurst Clients,

We want to make you aware of a recent voluntary recall issued by Wedgewood Pharmacy involving certain compounded veterinary medications. The recall was issued due to concerns that some medications may contain more or less of the active ingredient than intended.

Not all Wedgewood medications are affected by this recall.

If your pet currently receives medication from Wedgewood Pharmacy, we ask that you first VERIFY whether your specific medication is included in the recall by visiting the following website:

You will need to check the medication name, lot number, and expiration date to determine whether your pet's medication is affected.

If your medication IS on the recall list:

Halloween is almost here, so consider this your pet’s pregame safety check. 🎃🐾

The costumes are planned, the candy has been bought (and probably already opened 👀), and the neighborhood is about to get a whole lot busier.

Before the chaos begins, a few things your pet would like you to handle:

🍫 Put the candy somewhere they actually can’t reach. Not “pushed to the back of the counter.” We know who we're dealing with. 😂 Chocolate, xylitol-containing treats, raisins, and candy wrappers can all cause serious problems.

🚪 Have a plan for the front door. One night of nonstop doorbells + strangers + an open door can be a lot. A quiet room with their bed, water, favorite toys, and some background noise may be their idea of a perfect Halloween.

🪪 Do a quick ID check. Make sure tags are readable and microchip information is current. Escape artists tend to thrive when the front door opens 75 times in one evening.

🕯️ Rethink what's within paw's reach. Candles, electrical cords, fake cobwebs, glow sticks, and tiny decorations are significantly more interesting when you're a cat at 2 AM.

👻 Try the costume BEFORE Halloween. If your pet freezes, can't move comfortably, or looks at you like they're planning your demise… maybe we skip it. A festive bandana counts. 😂

🐕 Get walks done early. Crowded sidewalks, masks, loud noises, and dropped candy aren't exactly the relaxing evening stroll you had in mind.

And most importantly, know your pet. Halloween might be your favorite night of the year, but your pet doesn't need to be part of every moment. Sometimes the best plan is a quiet room, their favorite blanket, and absolutely no idea that 47 tiny superheroes are standing outside the house.

Keep Halloween fun, keep the candy high, and keep the emergency vet out of the group chat. 🎃🐾

🎃🦷 TWO TREATS, ONE TRICK! 👻🐾

Did you know that if your pet is already scheduled to undergo anesthesia for another procedure, it may be a great time to ask your veterinarian if their dental cleaning can be done at the same time?

Maybe they're already scheduled for:
🐾 A mass or tumor removal
✂️ A spay or neuter
🔬 A biopsy or diagnostic procedure
🩺 Another surgery requiring anesthesia

If they're also due for a dental, your veterinarian may determine that both procedures can safely be performed during the same anesthetic event—taking care of two important things in one visit! 🙌

While they're comfortably asleep, we can thoroughly examine the mouth, clean above and below the gumline, polish the teeth, and take dental radiographs to see what's happening beneath the surface. 🦷📸
Of course, combining procedures isn't right for every patient. Our doctors will consider your pet's health, the procedures being performed, and anesthesia time to determine what's safest.

So if your pet already has a procedure coming up and you've also been thinking, “Whew… that breath could use some help,” 😂 ask us about adding a dental!
🎃 One visit. One anesthetic event. Two boxes checked. Now THAT'S our kind of Halloween magic. 👻✨

🐾🎃 WHEN YOUR NAIL TRIM COMES WITH A LITTLE… OVERTIME. 😂

Some cats have five toes up front. Some have a few extras.

And then there are the cats who apparently said, “I'll take the family-size pack, please.” 😂🐱🐾

Our adorable polydactyl friend came prepared with enough toe beans to keep us busy—and honestly, we're not complaining. 💚

Whether your pet has the standard number of nails or enough to make us start counting twice, here's a little Oakhurst perk you may not know about:

✂️ Nail trims are complimentary with your pet's doctor appointment!

It's one of the little extras we offer to help keep your pet comfortable and save you from having to tackle those nails at home.

And with spooky season officially here, consider this your friendly reminder that the only claws you should be afraid of this Halloween are the ones you forgot to have trimmed. 👻😂🐾

🎃🩺 NO TRICKS… JUST TREATS & REALLY IMPORTANT PUPPY VISITS! 🐶👻

Apparently someone heard the doctor say, “Let me listen to your heart,” and decided the stethoscope needed to be taste-tested first. 😂🩺

Puppy visits may come with a few nibbles, wiggles, and LOTS of treats, but behind all that cuteness is an important part of giving your new best friend a healthy start.

Those first visits allow our doctors to monitor growth and development, perform a complete physical exam, discuss vaccines and parasite prevention, answer all those new-puppy questions, and catch potential concerns early. 🐾

But we also want those visits to accomplish something else: showing your puppy that coming to the vet doesn't have to be scary! 👻

Positive experiences while they're young can help build confidence and make future visits easier for your puppy, their family, and our veterinary team.

So bring us the wiggles, the puppy kisses, the tiny shark teeth, and apparently… the occasional stethoscope thief. 😂💚

🎃 Starting life with a new puppy? Don't let their healthcare become a mystery this spooky season! Call us at 727-391-9784 to schedule their visit.

🎃👻 The only thing that should be scaring you this spooky season is the price of Halloween candy… NOT the lumps and bumps you find on your pets! 🐾

An owner noticed a small lump on their pet's front paw and kept a close eye on it. When they noticed it was progressively getting bigger, they brought it to our attention at their appointment for some peace of mind.

And we're glad they did. 💚

Our veterinarian performed a fine needle aspirate (FNA), which allowed us to collect cells from the lump and examine them under the microscope right here in the hospital. 🔬
Under the microscope, we found abnormal-looking cells along with large amounts of dark melanin pigment, making the mass suspicious for melanoma.

While an FNA can give us some VERY important clues, cytology alone can't always tell us whether a melanoma is benign or malignant. Because of these findings, our veterinarian recommended surgically removing the mass and sending the tissue to the laboratory for histopathology, which will give us more information and help confirm the diagnosis.

We also took chest radiographs to make sure there were no visible signs that the mass had spread—and thankfully, everything looked clear! 🙌💚

The surgery is now scheduled, and the next step will be removing the mass and waiting for those final histopathology results.

The biggest takeaway? Don't panic over every lump—but please don't ignore one either.
If you notice a lump that's getting bigger, changing shape or color, becoming irritated, or simply doesn't look the same as it used to, it's worth taking a closer look.
🔬🐾 When in doubt, check it out—because sometimes a little lump can tell us a whole lot.
