It’s time to take back the heart and soul of vetmed. It’s time to bankrupt billionaires and corporations that control healthcare.

This is a major issue in our industry. We are one of the few remaining privately owned practices in North Pinellas county, When choosing a veterinarian, we really ask that people think about what they are choosing when they go to a corporate practice. Corporate practices have a monopoly in our area, which makes the accessibility of care both improved and limited. Costs go up. Staff retention at corporate practices is an issue. And it’s a different landscape completely. I’ve been in practice almost 30 years. it’s a struggle some days competing in this landscape so please if you value locally owned businesses and keeping medicine in the hands of practitioners and not stockholders, please choose locally owned practices and refer your friends to them (and us) as well.

We received very sad news today one of our patients a very sweet young dog was bitten by a rattlesnake last night and sadly has crossed the rainbow bridge. We offer our most sincere condolences to the family of this sweet girl. But I wanted to take the time to caution everyone in Palm Harbor area and all of our clients to please please be very cautious and alert when your pets are outside in the yard or you’re walking them. This is the fourth rattlesnake envenomation we have seen this year the other patients were larger dogs with less serious injuries that survived. Most people around here are not aware that we have rattlesnakes in our area, but there is a huge upswing in them probably because of the weather patterns. There are a ton over by the Pinellas Trail and Honey Moon Island and Wall Springs Park - both Pygmy rattlers and Eastern Diamondbacks. Make sure any brush and debris is cleared from your yard and regularly patrol your yard looking for snakes or signs of snakes, such as shed. Eliminate access to any hiding areas such as holes under decks or porch steps. And most of all closely watch your pet when they’re outside. Rattlesnakes aren’t the only dangers in our area. We’ve also seen one drowning already this summer and of course Bufo toads are always a problem when we are getting more rain. Watch those babies. These are pics of a few snake bites in their practice/patients of ours. WARNING:⚠️ ‼️ wound care and blood.

We send our love and support to the Ross family. We love you all and are thinking of you.

Ladybug got a clean bill of health today for her annual check up! She had her blood work done and at 16 1/2 years old, her kidneys, thyroid, blood sugar, liver, and everything was pristine. She says it’s because she has excellent working conditions and good healthcare. Unfortunately, she did not like having her blood drawn, but we can’t have everything. She wants to make sure to remind you to have your cat’s 🐈‍⬛ lab work done annually once they’re over the age of seven as well as to come by and pick an ornament off of our holiday giving tree to give kids and teens in foster care a magical holiday. 🎄
