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.

Meet Ruby and Cocoa. These young ladies are all about treats, loves and indoctrinating the cat into puppy play, but not AT ALL about sitting for a picture! In for their second set of vaccinations (with their new family) in the puppy series, they were soon exhausted from the cuteness and treats!

“But she was limping at home!” “Why isn’t he coughing here?”

Did you know, adrenaline surges in pets can trigger a physiological "fight or flight" response that temporarily suppresses and masks severe pain, structural injuries, and clinical symptoms? This phenomenon frequently creates a false impression of stability immediately following acute trauma or stress.

When you bring your pet in for an exam and are puzzled as to why they are seemingly better, that’s probably because the excitement of coming in causes an adrenaline surge. When leaving, they can have that inevitable adrenaline “crash” where they need to curl up and sleep.

Veterinary medicine can be a team sport!

How can you help? Use your phone! Bring in videos or pictures of your pet showing us what concerns you. Keep a chart of the symptoms seen, and when, if they have a pattern.

ALERT: Canine parvovirus has affected several shelters in the region. Parvoviral enteritis is a HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS viral disease that commonly affects young, unvaccinated dogs. Clinical signs include anorexia, lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea, which is often bloody. Treatment is largely supportive on an inpatient or outpatient basis because *specific therapies are not available* (see note in comments)

Puppies must start their pediatric vaccinations at 6-8 weeks and NOT be exposed to other dogs (except for household dogs up to date with vaccines) until their series of vaccinations are complete. This includes staying away from dog parks, boarding, training classes, pet stores and other places dogs go to, even if they are not there at the time you are.

Canine parvovirus infection is acquired through direct oral or nasal contact with virus-containing f***s or indirectly through contact with virus-contaminated fomites (eg, environment, personnel, equipment).

Infected dogs shed virus in f***s within 4–5 days following exposure, during illness, and for approximately 10 days after recovery. Parvovirus is VERY resilient even after what you may feel is a good cleaning.

Shelters have closed their doors and isolated their dogs until we see a marked reduction in cases.

Since we do not have 24 hour staffing, dogs exhibiting symptoms will be referred to a 24 hour facility for intensive care. There is no cure but the supportive care, if treated on time has about a 70% success, but there is no guarantee.

Get those dogs vaccinated.

A note about availability. We are doing our best to get patients in as time allows. We do keep appointments open each day for urgent needs and they are always filled. We have just one doctor. Our schedule is completely filled. We cannot make more hours in a day and we cannot stretch our professional staff so far that they cannot focus on the patients that are here.

“But there aren’t any cars in your parking lot”. Answer: because the doctor and techs are in surgery and managing recovery while doing other diagnostics for hospitalized patients. They can’t do that and see appointments at the same time.

If you need emergent care we may refer you to an emergency clinic that is staffed 24/7 because that is the best for your pet at that moment. Just like if you were to call your own doctor with urgent needs. If you need vaccinations, nail clip or something not urgent we will offer you the soonest appointment available. Right now it’s a couple weeks out.

We are happy to give you phone numbers to referral facilities, but please do not call other local vets facing the same constraints and tell them that WE said they could see you. We certainly do not speak for other practices. Nobody appreciates being lied to. Realize, as veterinary practices, we DO talk with each other and don’t appreciate being played against each other. We’ve got their best interests in mind too.

Our staff is doing their best and do not deserve to be met with rudeness, insults and threats. We will have their backs at all times.

Do better. Be better.

Dr. Redfield and Sharon

Why do we still ask people to stay in their cars and call to check in? Because it is safer for you and your pet. Most of the time we have an exam room clean and ready for you, but sometimes we need you to wait for a bit. Your pets are happier waiting with you by themselves than crowding into the waiting room with unfamiliar people and unhappy dogs and cats. We will call as soon as we’re ready for you. Listen to a podcast or music. Dance in your car seats. We won’t judge! It is the best way to keep sick pets from crossing paths, reduce anxiety induced stress and aggression, and prevent people from playing jump rope with tangled up leashes. A quieter facility is more conducive to a reduction in fear. There are exceptions: if you forgot your phone, or if you do not have adequate A/C in your car. Our sad, aged and dilapidated parking signs will be replaced soon.
