Animal Care
Torn Cruciate
In the middle of Friday afternoon appointments, I met Bo. Bo was a small mixed breed feist sort of dog who was a little over seven years of age. The appointment said “right back leg limping and won't put much weight on it. He won’t let owner get near it.” Sure enough...
Vomiting
At the end of a long hard week, I think the theme of the week was vomiting dogs. While there are plenty of highlights to a busy week (Ember is healed enough to be off pain meds; Hava’s ears are much better; Cora’s misplaced testicle was found and removed; Sadie was...
Sequences for the win
Sometimes things happen that rarely would have if it wasn’t for sequences. Willow was an example of a series of sequences. Willow’s sequences started with her dad deciding he wanted to work with animals instead of humans. Rusty started an accredited veterinary...

Wildlife and exotics
Mr. Focus
I had tears this week. Not that I don’t care about all of the ones that we lose, but I have protective mechanisms set up to protect me until it is nighttime. Then it is too late for tears. Mr. Focus got through those protections. Most of my Facebook friends have seen...
Falconry
I have a falcon on my head. It is training time for the birds of prey. Focus is an American Kestrel or sparrow hawk. It is her turn in my office and she is flying from the perch to the window and detoured to the top of my head. I think she is annoyed at me. Falconry...
Wildlife Rehab
A busy Saturday morning when I was interrupted with a sealed greeting card. I could see through the envelope that it isn’t hate mail. Even though those are rare, most vets are hurt deeply and remember the few that they get. I know I do. Veterinarians are often accused...
Vet Life and It’s not just a vet life
November Gratitude (Continued)
Oh, My! It is Nov 2! I forgot. Yesterday, I knew it was the day after Halloween, All Saints Day, and a new month, but I forgot that it was the first day of November. November is my month of gratitude, and honestly, I could have used a tad of gratitude yesterday. It...

Pet article: pick a vet for your team
There is a Facebook meme that when the zombies take over, make sure to have a veterinarian on your team. The AVMA even wrote an article about it with five reasons to pick a vet to be on your team. First, we have a better chance of surviving. I have spent my entire...

Howlidays
Fireworks
Fourth of July! Freedom! Fireworks! Backyard Barbeque with friends. What could be better? Lots of things, almost anything, if you are the family pet! The fireworks don’t just start on the 4th and end that night. In many places they can go on for weeks. This year the...
Welcome To 2019
It is finally here. 2019 and January have arrived. I love the start of the new year: new plans and new goals, reflection on the past year and things that went well or could be improved on and excitement about the new year. But for all my anticipation, ...
New Years
I love New Years! Mind you, it is not New Year’s Eve that I enjoy. This introvert does not enjoy the gluttony, excess and lateness at my age. I do enjoy the start of a new year. New Years is a time to reflect on where we have been and where we and...
