The Fredonia Animal Hospital is the ONLY nationally accredited animal hospital in the north county - only one of two in the entire county. Since 1969 we have provided veterinary care to our patients in a family friendly environment. We see patients by appointment only and emergencies on a case by case basis as we are currently limited with only one doctor on staff.

‘Tis the season! Painted turtles are out and about and you may see them in your yard, even if you are not directly adjacent to water. Female turtles leave the water and come ashore to dig a nest in the soil or sand. They lay a clutch of eggs, cover the nest to conceal it from predators, and return to the water. The eggs are then left to incubate. This is a painted turtle in Dr. Redfield’s back yard. This video shows her laying 2 of her eggs. They will lay from 2 to 20 eggs that will then incubate from 60 to 90 days. Average is 72. If you see a turtle doing her thing, leave her alone. Keep your distance, quietly, and use zoom on your camera. If you want, you can take steps to protect the clutch from predators.

It’s the busy season (not that we are ever not busy)! Annual appointments are being scheduled out at least one week and closer to two. We see sick patients as time allows. At least half of our appointments every day are allotted for them but even those fill up. We will schedule you as best we can as time allows, but we only have one doctor and can’t make more hours in the day. If we recommend that your pet needs a higher level of care, we will refer you to a practice in Buffalo that has 24-hour care and specialists just like you might be referred to ECMC. (Been there done that 😆) In short, give us a couple weeks to get you a time for your pet’s annual appointment that works best for you. Our hard working staff will do their best to accommodate you, but we can’t reschedule a patient with more urgent needs to get in a nail clip or vaccinations.

Though we’re closed for the 3 day holiday weekend, our staff will be answering phones and getting your meds/food for you on Tuesday 8-4 only. Dr. Redfield will attempt to “vacation” for 4 whole days. Full staff on Wednesday.

We got a cowgirl doing rodeo tricks in our hospital today! This is a female black legged deer tick that over ate her blood meal and detached from a dog after 5-7 days. Make sure your pet is on veterinary approved flea/tick prevention YEAR ROUND. Do tick checks on yourself and family when coming indoors. Ticks are AWFUL this year.

Ticks are slow vertical climbers. A lint roller is your friend before they attach. And if you do find a tick attachment DO NOT TRY AND REMOVE WITH OILS, GREASE, ALCOHOL OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN TWEEZERS as that shocks the tick into injecting their infected contents into the host (human or pet). The element of surprise is key. Use a fine tipped tweezer, grasp right at the skin and pull straight out without squeezing the tick. Flush it down the toilet.

50% of these ticks carry the bacteria that causes Lyme and other diseases. These ticks arrive via deer, but also migratory birds (we are in a migratory bird path) and most wildlife. Your fence doesn’t keep out ticks.

Added to our little boutique of pet rescue fundraising products are extra long, pointed tweezers. They and the reusable shopping bags are $3 each or 2 for $5, mix and match.

Chip clips, wrist bands, poo bags and flea combs are $1 each. Cash donation only. Stop on in!

This is the proper way to remove a tick. Tweeze as close to the skin as possible and pull. Do not use oils, gels, alcohol, match…. None of those are fast killing and shock the tick into releasing the saliva with disease into the host (you or your pet). Also, please use veterinary recommended flea prevention year round. Our Lyme disease in this area is high.
