After 43 incredible years of caring for animals and the people who love them, it is with both gratitude and bittersweet hearts that we announce the retirement of Dr. Catherine North.

For more than four decades, Dr. North has been a constant presence in our Ashford hospital and throughout the community. She has comforted worried families, celebrated countless happy moments, guided pets through illness with compassion, and dedicated her life to the health and well-being of generations of beloved pets. Her knowledge, surgery skills, and unwavering commitment to veterinary medicine have made her not only an exceptional veterinarian, but a true legend.

To many, Dr. North has been more than a doctor, she has been a trusted friend, a mentor, and a familiar face through every stage of life with their pets. The relationships she has built and the lives she has touched are impossible to measure. Her legacy will continue to be felt within our hospital and throughout the community for years to come.

While we are heartbroken to see her go, we couldn’t be happier for her as she begins this well earned new chapter. Dr. North, thank you for your 43 years of dedication, compassion, wisdom, and service. You have left a permenant mark on Fenton River Veterinary Hospital, our team, and every family and pet who had the privilege of knowing you.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Catherine North on her retirement and wishing her endless joy, good health, and many wonderful adventures ahead. ❤️🐾

It Really Does Take a Village 🦆

Today, one of our clients witnessed something both heartwarming and heartbreaking, a mama duck leading her ducklings safely across the road. Unfortunately, one little duckling didn’t quite make the journey. He slipped through a storm drain grate and found himself trapped deep inside the sewer.

Our client stopped by the hospital to see if there was anything we could do to help. Without hesitation, our team gathered towels, a rabies pole, and even fashioned a makeshift net before heading to the nearest storm drain.

When we arrived, the tiny duckling was still there waiting, but by then mama duck and the rest of the family had moved on. We tried everything we could think of to gently corral him into our net, but the little guy had other plans.

Just as we were preparing to call for additional help, the Fire Marshal happened to stop by and ask what was going on. After hearing the situation, he immediately sprang into action and called for another truck to assist.

Thanks to the quick thinking and incredible teamwork of the Ashford Volunteer Fire Dept, we were able to safely rescue the duckling and get him transported to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for the care he needs.

Stories like this remind us that helping animals isn’t something one person, or even one organization, can do alone. It takes compassionate clients, dedicated veterinary teams, first responders willing to lend a hand, and wildlife professionals working together.

When we say it takes a village, we truly mean it. ❤️

A huge thank you to our client for caring enough to stop, to the Ashford Fire Department for their rapid response, and to everyone who played a part in helping this little duckling get a second chance.
