Brothers from another mother recip cow style!

The call came in for a charolais embryo calf in the breech position in its braunvieh recip mom. After some work manipulating the babies legs, the Charolais calf was safely delivered. The recip cow was checked after the calf was pulled and low and behold there were two more feet inside. Assuming the embryo had split after it was implanted, we pulled the second calf! To our surprise, the second calf was in fact not at all related to the first! He was a brangus (the neighbors bull) x braunvieh natural calf. This recip cow was unknowingly bred by the brangus bull to produce the smoke colored calf and on day 8 an IVF Charolais embryo was placed in her uterus resulting in twins that are not at all related! She carried both safely to term just needing a little help to get them out. Safe to say this isn’t something you see every day! We are grateful to our clients for entrusting us with the care of their livestock and for this wonderful career we get to call work ❤️

🐾❤️Celebrating ONE YEAR❤️🐾

Today marks one year since we opened the doors to Burton Veterinary Clinic, and what an incredible year it has been!

Opening a veterinary clinic in a small town means so much more than simply starting a business. It means becoming an even bigger part of a community - caring for the animals you love, getting to know your families, and being there for both the happy moments and the difficult ones.

Over the past year, our community has welcomed and supported us more than we ever could have imagined. Every appointment made, every kind word, every recommendation to a friend, every Facebook share, and every bit of encouragement has helped make our first year possible. We are incredibly grateful that you have trusted us with the care of your pets and livestock. We have loved getting to know so many of you, watching puppies and kittens grow, caring for longtime companions, and being able to serve the people of a community we are so proud to call home.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for an amazing first year. We truly could not have done it without you.

Here's to many more years of serving our community and caring for the animals that mean so much to all of us. ❤️

"Pray without ceasing"
1 Thessalonians 5:17

Please take a moment and pray for healing for this young man and strength for his family.

Prayer warriors! A precious family needs you today and in the coming days.

Received word that a young man that Jake played Little League baseball with and someone we’ve known nearly all of his life suffered an ATV accident last night and is in critical condition.

Jackson Kalkhake from Burton, age 23, is battling a traumatic brain injury. Please lift him up in your prayers and ask for the Lord’s healing.

And please pray for his mom and dad, Mandy and “Peanut” and his brother, Kaiden.

Love this family so much and we will pray without ceasing to our Lord for precious Jackson.

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
Mark 11:24

Meet Bentley!

Bentley is a 7 month old Manx kitten that presented for facial and ocular swelling that did not respond to antibiotics and anti inflammatories. Radiographs revealed an osteomyelitis of the underlying bone. Osteomyelitis is a severe, progressive infection and inflammation of the bone and bone marrow. Given that empirical antibiotics failed to offer improvement, Dr Mueller sedated Bentley to perform a bone aspirate. An in house cytology was performed where we found large amounts of Histoplasmosis. Histoplasmosis is a non-contagious fungal infection caused by the soil-dwelling fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. This fungus is found globally and may infect both humans and animals. The fungus thrives in warm moist environments and is commonly found in soil that contains bat or bird f***s (including chickens, pigeons, starlings, and blackbirds). In cats, histoplasmosis most commonly affects the lungs developing a severe fungal pneumonia; however, less commonly it can afftect the eyes, skin and other internal organs. In Bentleys case this fungus infection colonized his left eye and right facial bones. The treatment for Histoplasmosis is months of an antifungal medication called Itraconazole. Soon after starting treatment, Bentley began to quickly improve! He began playing again and his boney swelling resolved over the next couple of months. Bentleys owners were dedicated to his care and worked hard to ensure his recovery 💙
