Long update, please read to the end!
Hello friends and clients!
Thank you SO much for your patience and understanding this week. Dr. Snively
and Keith welcomed their baby girl into the world on June 16th.
Baby Mackenzie is 12 weeks premature and dealing with completely unexpected health issues. She is, however, very stable in the NICU at UVA, and mama was dishcharged yesterday.
This is not what any of us expected. We had to close last week due to the suddenness and how quickly things escalated, and are deeply grateful for your compassion.
Our ladies have been working around the clock to orchestrate relief so we can continue to be available to see your babies (who we feel are our babies as well!) The veterinary community is amazing and we have had an overwhelming response to our pleas for relief assistance.
We are taking this day by day, but are super excited and relieved to have another amazing doc coming Monday and Tuesday for the next two weeks! We will continue to work on our Thursday/Friday coverage.
If you cannot get in with a sick pet, our amazing friends at Vinton Veterinary Hospital have graciously agreed to see our sick pets and will be offering a discount, just mention Bluestone!
We ask for your continued grace and support as we navigate a tough situation for all of us. Know that we are here for you in any way we can and we appreciate you all.
Please join us in praying for the health and wellness of Baby Mack, Doc, and Keith.
Love and Hugs,
The Bluestone Staff
