Post-Op Care Doesn’t Stop When Surgery Ends!

The procedure may be over, but recovery is just as important as anesthesia and surgery itself.

This sweet angel baby is getting some well-deserved TLC while recovering from spay.

During the postoperative period, our veterinary team closely monitors patients as they wake up, including:

Temperature: anesthesia can cause body temperature to drop, so active warming, such as a Bair Hugger, may be used when appropriate.

Heart rate & rhythm: keeping a close eye on cardiovascular function as the patient wakes up.

Respiratory rate & oxygenation: monitoring breathing and oxygen levels during recovery.
Pain control: assessing comfort and providing appropriate pain management.

Mentation & recovery: watching for a smooth, controlled wake-up and making sure the patient is becoming appropriately responsive.

Comfort & safety: soft bedding, warmth, positioning, and one-on-one observation all help make recovery as safe and comfortable as possible.

That sleepy face may look like the patient is simply taking a cozy nap… but there’s a whole veterinary team behind the scenes making sure every part of recovery is carefully monitored. 🐾💙

25 years later …

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who ran toward danger when others were running away.

On 9/11, first responders, search-and-rescue teams, medical professionals, and working dogs stood side-by-side in an extraordinary display of courage, service, and compassion.

There were 2,977 lives were lost, including 441 first responders that made the ultimate sacrifice. More than 300 specially trained dogs joined the rescue and recovery efforts—searching through the rubble, locating victims, and providing comfort to those who needed it most.

As veterinary professionals, we have a special appreciation for the human-animal bond and the incredible courage of the working dogs who stood beside their handlers during one of our nation’s darkest days.

Today, we honor every person and every animal who served, searched, comforted, and helped in the aftermath of that day. 🐾🇺🇸

We remember.
We honor.
We will never forget.

We had the pleasure of having Teddy and Norman, two beautiful Blue and Gold Macaws from Soft Landings Parrot Rescue, for their wellness exams and bloodwork! 🩺🦜

Routine wellness visits are just as important for our feathered friends as they are for dogs and cats. Regular examinations and bloodwork can help us catch potential health concerns early and keep these incredible birds thriving.

Thank you to Soft Landings Parrot Rescue for trusting us with Teddy and Norman’s care! 💙💚

We think these two did a pretty fantastic job showing off their personalities during their visit! 🦜

Teddy and Norman had a repeat visit to the vet today. They did amazing.
We Love Dr Hamlin and her staff so very much. They take the best care of our flock.

🚨 New World Screwworm Confirmed in Texas: What Oklahoma Pet Owners Should Know 🚨

Recent detections of the New World screwworm in parts of Texas have raised concerns for veterinarians, livestock producers, and pet owners across the region. While there are no established cases in Oklahoma, this serves as an important reminder to stay vigilant and monitor your pets for wounds.

Unlike typical maggots that feed on dead tissue, New World screwworm larvae feed on living, healthy tissue, causing painful wounds that can worsen quickly without treatment.

Animals at risk include:
• Dogs and cats
• Horses
• Cattle
• Sheep and goats
• Wildlife
• Any warm-blooded animal (including humans in rare cases)

⚠️ Watch for these signs:
• A wound that isn’t healing
• Swelling, redness, or bleeding
• A foul odor from a wound
• Excessive licking or discomfort
• Visible maggots in a wound

What Oklahoma pet owners should do:
✔️ Check your pets regularly for cuts, scrapes, hot spots, and surgical incisions.
✔️ Keep wounds clean and protected.
✔️ Seek veterinary care promptly if a wound appears infected or contains maggots.
✔️ Stay up to date on your pet’s parasite prevention and follow your veterinarian’s recommendations.

At this time, there is no need for panic in Oklahoma. Animal health officials are actively monitoring the situation, and veterinarians remain informed on how to recognize and respond to potential cases. Awareness and early treatment are the best tools we have to protect our pets.

If your pet develops a concerning wound or you notice anything unusual, don’t hesitate to contact our hospital. We’re here to help keep your pets healthy and safe.
