What’s Dr. Claudia doing to that cat with a pencil?!

Not everything needs fancy tools. This kitty suffered a dislocated jaw, which was diagnosed on physical exam and x-rays. Luckily, the bones of his jaw and temporomandibular joint remained intact with no fractures.

In order to replace the jaw into the correct location, he was sedated and then using a pencil between the back molars, general pressure at the front of the jaw is used to reduce pressure at the back. The pencil is then turned in a counter-clockwise rotation to move the ramus of the jaw back into normal anatomical location.

Spay and Neuter day at CVC!!
7 cat spays
2 cat neuters

We are proud to be working with Peakside Animal Rescue to provide care and control the stray cat population of Clearwater. These kittens were part of 3 litters of kittens that Peakside rescued. All kittens are spayed and neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and dewormed and will be ready to go to new homes after surgery recovery.

This pup learned the hard way that porcupines are not particularly interested in making friends!

Some lessons are learned the hard way, but our team was able to get those prickly little souvenirs removed and get this guys back to normal!

Reminder: If your dog tangles with a porcupine, please don’t try to pull the quills out yourself. They can break, migrate deeper, and become much harder to remove.

Fall is the perfect time for an equine dental check!

As we head into fall and start thinking about winter hay and feeding, don’t forget about what’s happening inside your horse’s mouth!

Regular dental exams and floats are an important part of keeping your horse healthy and comfortable. Sharp enamel points, hooks, ramps, and other dental abnormalities can make chewing painful and interfere with proper digestion.

A fall dental exam can help:

• Identify sharp points and dental abnormalities
• Make sure your horse can efficiently chew and digest their winter hay
• Address painful areas before they become bigger problems
• Check for periodontal disease, loose or fractured teeth, and other concerns
• Keep your horse comfortable as we head into the colder months

Even horses that are eating normally may have significant dental disease. Horses are incredibly good at hiding discomfort, so routine examinations are key. This is especially important for our senior horses that we want to take extra care to ensure they can chew, digest, and utilize feed to the best possible ability.

Before you stock up on that winter hay, make sure your horse’s teeth are ready for the job!

📞 Contact us to schedule your horse’s fall dental examination and float.

You asked and you shall receive…

This wonkey donkey, Nash, had an injury to his eye causing his globe to rupture and be permanently blind. In these cases the eye causes significant discomfort and infection without any benefit of vision.

Standing sedation and local anesthesia was used so Nash wouldn’t feel anything. The eye was then surgically removed and the skin closed up. A bandage was placed to keep down swelling and prevent Nash from rubbing his sutures.

As the skin heals, the socket will become mildly sunken but Nash will be pain free and continue living happily 😉

What’s the best part of being a small town mixed animal clinic? Everyday is different!

Today was a first for us! “Beardy” the Bearded Dragon had an infection that became osteomyelitis.
Osteomyelitis is an infection that has infiltrated bone, and in Beardy’s case resulted in the lysis or slow dissolution and breakdown of the bone.

In order to heal Beardy’s toe, we needed to surgically amputate and remove all the infected tissue and abnormal bone. Beardy will now be able to heal and live out his life!

What kind of posts do you want to see more of?
A. Cool surgery? The bloodier the better?
B. Only medical cases? Keep the blood to lab work only?
C. Info posts where we share pet/ animal health recommendations?
D. All of the above
