Another wild one saved. Thank you, as always to Dr. Swanson for helping Wild At Heart Wildlife Sanctuary and their animals!

This adult female rat snake ate two golf balls being used in a chicken coop. They were surgically removed and she will be returned to the wild when she is ready!

Did you know that we offer chiropractic care for a variety of musculoskeletal problems?

Here is Dr. Swanson performing a medical manipulation of our patient Rue. Rue is what we call spay incontinent and regular adjustments help keep her accidents at home to a minimum.

Chiropractic care can be beneficial to many patients with arthritis, mobility concerns, and some nerve issues.

Don't get us wrong, we love puppies and kittens, probably more than most people! There's nothing quite like tiny kitten mews or stinky puppy breath. But...

Every year, millions of puppies and kittens are born with nowhere to go. Shelters become overcrowded, rescue groups are stretched thin, and too many healthy pets never get the chance to find a loving home.

Spaying and neutering is the most effective way to reduce pet overpopulation — and it starts with responsible pet owners. 🐾

- Prevents unplanned litters before they add to shelter numbers
- Reduces stray and feral cat populations in our communities
- Lowers euthanasia rates by decreasing the number of unwanted animals
- Helps shelters focus resources on finding homes instead of managing overcrowding
- Keeps pets healthier and happier

One simple procedure can prevent hundreds of future births and make a lasting impact. Be part of the solution — spay and neuter your pets.

Cats are masters of disguise — especially when it comes to pain and illness. 🐱

That means subtle changes at home may be the only clues that something isn’t right.

🔎 Signs your cat may be hiding illness or pain:

• Sleeping more or less than usual
• Decreased appetite or picky eating
• Hiding more than normal
• Changes in litter box habits
• Less grooming — or overgrooming one area
• Avoiding jumping or moving differently
• Acting more withdrawn or irritable

Because cats are so good at masking symptoms, routine veterinary exams are essential. Regular checkups help us catch problems early — often before they become serious.

If you notice even small changes in your cat’s behavior, trust your instincts and give us a call. When it comes to cats, subtle signs matter. 💙
