Many pet owners worry that using medication means they’re “drugging” their cat—but that’s not how Dr. Heekin sees it.

In this edition of "Ask Dr. Heekin," she explains why helping cats feel less fear is an act of compassion—and why reducing stress can help ensure they get the veterinary care they need. 🐱💚

Meet Cooper. 🐾

Cooper recently came to us with a severe leg wound—so severe that bone and tendons were exposed, and there was concern about whether his leg could be saved.

Since then, our team has been working alongside Cooper and his amazing parents every single day—carefully unwrapping, cleaning, treating, and rewrapping his wound. Healing a wound like this takes time, patience, and teamwork… and Cooper has been the best patient through it all. 💙

Now, we’re celebrating a big milestone: healthy new tissue has covered the bone and tendons, and Cooper is healing beautifully. He now only needs to visit us every few days—and best of all, he’s feeling well enough to proudly carry his own leash out of the clinic. 🐶

This sweet boy has become everyone’s friend, and we’ll be cheering him on every step of the way. More updates coming soon!

Remember Trek? His DNA results are in, and they did NOT disappoint 👀🐾

Did you guess correctly?

Trek is:
37% Great Dane
29% Poodle
26% Bernese Mountain Dog
7% Afghan Hound
1000% Good boy

Which explains a lot—his big puppy paws, his fluffy good looks, and his unmistakable charm. ✨

Thanks for playing along! 🐶💙

Here's a hint ... Trek’s family tree includes a gentle giant, a mountain explorer, and a very fancy haircut. 🐶

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and selflessness will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

Dr. Heekin and our team are deeply grateful not only for those who have served, but also for the first responders and everyday heroes who continue to protect and care for our communities.

Wishing everyone a safe, meaningful Memorial Day as we reflect with gratitude and remembrance. ❤️🐾

Did you know calico cats are almost always female? 🐱

Because of the unique genetics behind their orange, black, and white coats, only about 1 in 3,000 calico cats are male — and no two calicos have the exact same pattern!

Basically, every calico is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece with a little extra cattitude. 😸
