Dogs can vomit occasionally from eating too fast, dietary changes, motion sickness, or getting into something they shouldn’t. But repeated vomiting (more than once), vomiting that lasts over several hours, or vomiting paired with lethargy, not eating, diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, or dehydration can signal something more serious like pancreatitis, an infection, toxin exposure, or even an intestinal blockage. Puppies, seniors, and small dogs can also become dehydrated quickly.
📞 If your dog is vomiting repeatedly or seems unwell, call (315) 778-4084 so we can help you decide the next step.

Even a small amount of extra weight can make it harder for a cat’s body to regulate blood sugar and can put added stress on the hips, knees, and spine. Over time, overweight cats may become less active, have trouble jumping, groom less, or seem stiff, creating a cycle where they move less and gain more. The good news? Portion control, measured meals, and daily play sessions (like wand toys, lasers, or food puzzles) can make a big difference in your cat’s health and comfort.

That same history also explains their soft mouth (gentle carrying), strong drive to please, and often a love of swimming. Remember, just because they’re active and social dogs, they thrive with regular exercise, enrichment, and routine wellness care. Such a fun fact!

Because cats are great at masking pain, arthritis often shows up as subtle behavior changes rather than obvious limping. You may notice your cat jumping less (or hesitating before jumping), avoiding stairs, sleeping more, grooming less, hiding more often, or seeming “grumpy” when touched around the hips, back, or legs. Some cats may also start having litter box accidents if climbing into the box becomes uncomfortable. The good news is that arthritis can often be managed with the right plan, helping your cat stay active and comfortable.
📞 If you’re noticing any of these changes, call (315) 778-4084 to schedule an evaluation.

Puppies are born with some immunity from their mom, but that protection fades over the first few weeks of life. Vaccines are given in a series because puppies need repeated boosters to build strong, reliable immunity as that maternal protection wears off. Staying on schedule helps protect against highly contagious (and potentially life-threatening) illnesses like parvo and distemper, especially while your puppy is exploring the world, meeting other dogs, and visiting new places.

📞 Have questions about your puppy’s vaccine schedule or when it’s safe to start socializing? Call (315) 778-4084. 🐾

Our office will be closing at 3pm today due to low temperatures. Please have a safe and warm weekend!

01/23/2026

Since they have small bodies, limited energy reserves, and high metabolisms, Yorkie pups may drop their blood sugar more easily—especially if they skip a meal, get overtired, are stressed, or aren’t eating well. Signs can include weakness, shakiness/trembling, wobbliness, acting “spacey,” unusual sleepiness, or just not acting like themselves. This can become serious quickly in very small puppies.

Consistent meals and routines are important, and young toy-breed puppies often do best with small, frequent feedings and careful monitoring of appetite and energy.
📞 If your Yorkie puppy seems weak, shaky, or “off,” call (315) 778-4084 right away so we can guide you on next steps.

As they grow, pigment develops in the iris and their eye color often begins changing around 6–10 weeks (sometimes continuing for a few months). Some pets keep blue eyes into adulthood, but for many, those baby blues gradually shift to green, amber, hazel, or brown. What color are your pet's eyes?

We are excited to welcome to our team Dr Alyssa McGeehan! She is expected to arrive on schedule in March and we will be able to accept new clients. 🙂

Dr. Alyssa McGeehan was born and raised in Southern New Hampshire. Her first time leaving the country was when she attended veterinary school on the island of St. Kitts. She is a 2021 graduate of Ross University. Her clinical year was completed at Auburn University. Throughout vet school, she dedicated time working with animal shelters. She was an officer for SAFE St Kitts, a student-run, foster-based organization that took in critical dogs and cats for rehabilitation and adoption. She also participated in spay/neuter clinics at Nevis Animal Speak, a shelter on a neighboring island. After graduation, she worked in small animal general practice hospitals and spay/neuter clinics. Dr. McGeehan has a passion for rescue and rehabilitation, physical therapy, behavior, and community medicine.

She recently moved to New York after her husband was stationed at Fort Drum. She shares her home with her husband, Seth, their two young sons, two dogs, a cat, and two horses. In her free time, she enjoys painting, kayaking, hiking, snow shoeing, gardening, clicker training her horses, and fishing.
