Meet Emme! Her mom reached out to us after noticing that Emme was drinking and urinating more than usual. Blood work showed that her kidney values were elevated, so our team began supportive care, including fluids and treatment for nausea and loss of appetite.

Emme still has a long road ahead as we work to manage her kidney disease, but our team is dedicated to helping her feel better every step of the way!

Chronic kidney disease is common in older dogs and means the kidneys are gradually losing their ability to filter waste and keep the body balanced.

Signs to watch for include increased thirst, more frequent urination, weight loss, decreased appetite, vomiting, bad breath, or low energy.

While chronic kidney disease usually cannot be cured, early diagnosis and ongoing care can help many dogs feel better and maintain a good quality of life. Treatment may include a kidney-supportive diet, hydration support, medications, and regular bloodwork, urine testing, and blood pressure checks.

If your dog is drinking or urinating more than usual, losing weight, or acting “off,” schedule a veterinary visit. Early monitoring can make a big difference. 🐾

We HIGHLY recommend annual blood work after the age of 5 to see how the internal organs are working and if there is an underlying metabolic disease.

Have questions or just want annual blood work then give us a call or schedule online today!

Happy Start of the Week!

Meet Scout!

When we first met Scout, he was very nervous and unsure in the clinic. He was skittish during visits and also reactive around other dogs. To help make his appointments less stressful, we worked with his family to schedule him as either the first or last appointment of the day, when the clinic was quieter and there were fewer pets around.

During one of Scout’s visits, we discussed whether anxiety medication may help support him. His family decided to try fluoxetine, also known as Prozac, to help with some of the anxiety he was experiencing.

Anxiety medications can be a helpful tool for some pets. They do not “sedate” a pet or change their personality. Instead, they can help lower the level of fear, stress, and anxiety so pets are better able to learn, cope, and feel more comfortable in situations that may otherwise feel overwhelming.

We are so proud of Scout!

At his recent visit, Scout sat calmly in the lobby with another dog nearby and didn’t make a peep. He was also very well behaved for his appointment. This is a huge accomplishment for him and his family!

Every pet is different, and anxiety treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Some pets benefit from behavior modification, appointment adjustments, calming supplements, prescription medications, or a combination of these tools.

If your pet struggles with fear, anxiety, or stress during vet visits, car rides, grooming, storms, separation, or around other animals, please schedule an appointment with us so we can discuss it. There are options available to help make life less stressful for both you and your pet.

Way to go, Scout!

Happy Caturday!

We’re doing something a little different today for client education. Meet Luna!

Last week, Luna received her rabies vaccine and experienced a vaccine reaction less than an hour afterward. While vaccine reactions are not common, they can happen, and it is important for pet owners to know what signs to watch for after any vaccine appointment.

What can a vaccine reaction look like?

Signs may include:

Vomiting
Diarrhea
Redness of the skin
Hives or facial swelling
Pale or white gums
Lethargy or weakness

If your pet shows any of these signs after receiving vaccines, please call your veterinarian immediately. Vaccine reactions can often be treated with medications such as antihistamines, steroids, anti-nausea medication, and, in some cases, IV fluids or additional supportive care.

Vaccines are an important part of protecting pets from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. Knowing what is normal after vaccination and what may be a reaction helps keep your pet safe.

We’re happy to report that Luna received the care she needed and is doing well!

Happy Juneteenth!

Today we’re celebrating some of our spay, neuter, and surgery rockstars from last week!

Please give a big shoutout to Banchee, Baldwin, Sophie, Fluffy, Oliver, Sarafina, and Betty Boop!

While many routine surgeries may seem simple, every pet is unique. Some breeds have special health considerations, and certain pre-surgical tests help us make anesthesia and surgery as safe as possible.

Baldwin is a Sphynx, and because this breed can be at a higher risk for hidden heart disease, we required a proBNP blood test before anesthesia. This test helps screen for signs that the heart may be under stress and helps us determine whether it is safe to proceed with general anesthesia.

Sarafina is a Doberman, and Dobermans can be at risk for von Willebrand’s disease, a bleeding disorder that affects the blood’s ability to clot normally. Before surgery, we required a von Willebrand’s test to check her clotting ability. We also performed a buccal mucosal bleeding time test, which helps us evaluate how well her body forms a clot.

Betty Boop also had a special procedure last week. She had some masses removed using our surgical laser. One mass on her leg had started bothering her, and she became very focused on licking it. When a pet will not leave a mass alone, removal may be recommended to prevent irritation, infection, or further trauma to the area.

Pre-surgical testing is an important part of veterinary care. It helps us understand each pet’s individual risks and create the safest plan possible for anesthesia, surgery, and recovery.

We are so proud of all of our brave patients!

Happy Thursday!

What better way to brighten this Thursday than by celebrating a huge accomplishment?

Please join us in congratulating our amazing veterinary assistant, Caroline, who has been accepted into the local Veterinary Technician Program at TCC!

Over the next two years, Caroline will be learning, growing, and training alongside two incredible Licensed Veterinary Technicians who will help guide her through this exciting journey.

If you see Caroline at the clinic, please be sure to congratulate her on this wonderful new adventure!

You may be wondering, what is a Licensed Veterinary Technician?

A Licensed Veterinary Technician, often called an LVT, is a highly trained veterinary medical professional who plays a vital role in patient care. LVTs assist veterinarians with many important responsibilities, including nursing care, anesthesia monitoring, laboratory testing, dental cleanings, radiology, surgical assistance, patient comfort, and client education.

They are an essential part of the veterinary healthcare team, helping ensure each pet receives safe, compassionate, and knowledgeable care.

We are so proud of Caroline and cannot wait to watch her continue to grow in this profession!

Happy Halfway-Through-the-Week!

We made it to Wednesday, and what better way to celebrate than with some of the adorable faces we saw last week?

Meet some of our Wednesday cuties!

Nola came in for her annual vaccines, and we also discussed starting annual dental cleanings to help keep her teeth healthy and her smile sparkling.

Wesley is doing so well after being treated for ear mites! He was also very brave for his booster vaccines.

Sienna brought us bittersweet news. She is moving up North so her mom can start PA school. We are going to miss them so much, but we are so excited for this new adventure. Best of luck!

Yuna was an absolute perfect lady for her vaccine boosters.

Boo came in because her mom wanted to check on her health as she gets older. We ran senior blood work, and we are happy to report it looked flawless!

Raisin had a very exciting visit. Her dad finalized her adoption papers, and she received her ProHeart 12 injection, which helps protect her from heartworm disease for a full year.

Spike had an important discussion about BOAS surgery, which can help some flat-faced breeds breathe more comfortably by trimming the soft palate and opening the nostrils.

Dolce came in to talk about separation anxiety, and we started her on Prozac to help support her emotional well-being.

Jetty has the best vaccine strategy: give this pretty lady some food, and she has no idea she just got vaccinated!

Catarina had her very first visit with us for puppy boosters, and she was so brave.

We love getting to care for your pets through every stage of life — from puppy boosters and adoption celebrations to senior wellness, behavior support, dental care, and everything in between.

Thanks for sharing your sweet pets with us!

Happy Tuesday!

Today, let’s talk about veterinary specialists.

Veterinary medicine is very similar to human medicine. Just like people may need to see specialists such as cardiologists, surgeons, neurologists, dermatologists, internists, or oncologists, our pets sometimes need that extra level of expertise too. Here in Hampton Roads, we are fortunate to have access to wonderful veterinary specialists who help us provide the best possible care for complicated cases.

Meet Lulu, Dr. Turner’s personal rescue pup. Lulu was adopted from the Portsmouth Humane Society and has been dealing with recurring urinary tract infections since November. Dr. Turner worked hard to treat her, but when the infections continued to come back quickly, it became clear that Lulu needed additional evaluation.

One concern was that Lulu might have an ectopic ureter or another anatomical issue contributing to her repeated UTIs. Dr. Turner reached out to Dr. Berdoulay, an internal medicine specialist at AVUE in Virginia Beach, for further testing.

Dr. Berdoulay and his team performed an ultrasound and used a scope to examine Lulu’s lower urinary tract. The good news is that Lulu does not have an ectopic ureter. However, they did find that she has a wider urethra, weaker bladder muscles, and, unfortunately, another UTI.

So what is the plan? Dr. Berdoulay recommended starting Lulu on Incurin, a medication that helps improve muscle tone in the urethra and may help reduce her urinary issues.

We are so grateful to Dr. Berdoulay and the AVUE team for getting Lulu seen and taking such great care of her. Cases like Lulu’s are a great reminder that veterinary medicine is truly a team effort. Sometimes, collaboration between your family veterinarian and a specialist is the best way to get answers and create the right treatment plan for your pet.

Please join us in wishing Lulu a smooth recovery and a speedy resolution to her urinary troubles!
