Important CPV update…. Dr. Price has been in pain for months but a recent MRI confirmed what we suspected… she tore her rotator cuff and needs surgery. We have several theories about how this happened. Maybe she tore it dancing. Maybe it was from spaying and neutering 21 cats in 4½ hours. Maybe she injured it lifting a lawnmower. Honestly? We will never know the truth.
What we do know is that doctors are real people, too. They get hurt, they need surgery, and sometimes their bodies tell them, “Hey, maybe slow down for a minute.” And after years of taking care of everyone else, Dr. Price now needs to take care of herself. She will need to be out for 2 weeks following surgery (not until November), but CPV will still be here. With the help of our wonderful staff, she will be able to continue doing appointments and taking care of our patients as she is able.
Surgeries, however, will need to be booked out. We will do everything we can to get as many already scheduled surgeries moved to be completed before her procedure, and we will work with everyone affected to accommodate any less urgent remaining surgical procedures as best we can once she is recovered.
We also want to let everyone know that until further notice, we will not be accepting any new rescues. Our priority right now is making sure our existing patients, clients, and rescue cats continue to receive the care they need while Dr. Price heals.
We know this may cause some inconvenience, and we truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while our very human veterinarian takes a little time to heal. And Dr. Price… please stop trying to prove that you are indestructible. We already know you’re tough. Now sit down. 🤣
