This handsome fellow is Fluke. He is part great dane and part hound, an absolutely perfect mix. With large floppy ears and a voice that will melt your heart, Fluke is definitely a sight for sore eyes. Now this big guy is middle-aged as far as we are concerned and had been a long time […]
Have you noticed any changes in your pet’s behavior this summer? Perhaps they are a bit more agitated, maybe they’re lethargic all of a sudden, they’ve made grass eating a habit, diarrhea is happening more often than not, and/or they just won’t stop licking those darn paws. Nutritional components and internal allergies aside, your pet […]
Take a moment to say hello to Duke, the golden retriever. This isn’t just any golden retriever, he’s the self-acclaimed nephew of our mom. Duke is a lively man that just can’t get enough of the water, sticks, chew toys, and rocks. He enjoys long swims in the lake, boat rides, lounging on shag carpet, […]
Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMT) is not an uncommon condition found in the equine, canine, and rarely feline world. This disease recently plagued a very dear friend of mine and after seeing it take a four year old husky far too soon, I decided to do a bit more research. Having never heard of this disease […]

I’d like to take a moment to touch upon a condition that is not new but has been popping up a bit more frequently called “saddle thrombus”. Normally I try to write articles pertaining to the vast majority of our furry friends, however, this one is exclusive to the feline population. What is a “Saddle […]
One condition that truly breaks my heart and has become more prevalent lately involves partial paralysis. Sometimes you’ll see or hear about dogs with three limbs, cats missing legs, and animals in wheelcarts. The last of these tends to be a case of paraplegia. An animal that loses control in the limbs has rarely received […]
Choking. A topic not necessarily discussed often in the animal world, though it definitely should be. The reason I find it imperative to discuss is because of my own experience that occurred just last week. Our little Gizmo nearly suffocated to death because he was choking, and had I not been vigilant of his slightly […]
Zoey here is one of the cutest chi-chi bombs we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She has eyes the size of olives and her tail is always wagging, even when she’s nervous. Now when Zoey first came to the office, she was walking on three legs and had been doing so for months. […]
