🍁🍂Fall is slowly starting to make it’s way into our part of the world. Which means it is time for fall decorating!

🎃🕸️Whether you are decorating with pumpkins and scarecrows or with skeletons and cobwebs, remember that a lot of decor can be a danger to our pets.

Most commonly we see pets eating things they shouldn’t and end up needing emergency surgery. Keep an eye on your furry friends this autumn!

🌟Saturday Staff Spotlight 🌟

Hello!
I am Dr. Lacey Whelan. I am an Oklahoma native and a 2012 alumna of Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine. My background is in rural mixed animal medicine but now I spend most of my days focusing on companion animal medicine. I enjoy the challenges of endocrinology and both soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries.

My family includes my husband, Michael, and our furry creatures. We have three dogs: Shadow, Brooks, and Dunbar as well as one silly black cat named Mortimer. When I am not in clinic you can often find me painting everything from watercolors to window art and a few other things in between. I also love spending time growing as many flowers as I possibly can 🌼

Everyone meet Haalland!

Haaland came in this week for his neuter. He was the most loving patient! He literally crawled out of his kennel making biscuits the whole time. We have dubbed him the best orange kitty of the week!

Sometimes our pets eat things we know about. Then sometimes there are things that our pets eat that we have no idea about. Haze came to see us this last week because he decided to eat a whole ball. He had to take some medicine to make him throw up and Surprise!! He had a couple more things hanging out in his stomach. Haze was very apologetic about the whole thing ♥

Hello!
I am Kristy Tackett the owner and lead veterinarian for Poteau Valley Veterinary Hospital. I graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oklahoma State University in 2012. After graduation, I worked 7 years as an associate veterinarian in Enid, Oklahoma. In 2019, my family and I moved to Poteau when I bought Poteau Valley Veterinary Hospital from Dr. Chitwood.

One of the things I love about veterinary medicine is that every day offers new challenges. I enjoy taking on ophthalmology and wound care cases. Every day is different than the day before.

In my down time, you can find me spending time with my family at stock shows and the softball fields, often with Blue and Wrigley (my two dogs) tagging along. I also enjoy riding my horse (Charles) and hanging out with the Farm Managers Monroe and Ferdinand (aka the cats 😸).
