Yesterday was Friday the 13th and a full moon all rolled together. Except yesterday was May 12th and not a full moon. We say this all the time. Love. Is. Not. Enough. Basic veterinary care is a necessity. The picture on the left is a normal canine uterus. The picture on the right is a pyometra. A uterus filled with infection that was on the verge of killing this poor dog. This is fatal if left untreated and happens in female dogs and cats who are not spayed. We spent a good portion of our morning trying to help a family, find veterinary care for an emergency surgery. Many thanks to Logan Animal Clinic for making time where they had none and saving her life. She is not out of the woods yet, but at least now she stands a chance. Spaying and neutering your pets is one of the single most important things you can do for your furry friend. Not only does it prevent unwanted litters, it can literally save your pet’s life. More about May 12th tomorrow, but for today, please #spayneuter ... See MoreSee Less

We are happy to report that Mama Bella received her happily ever after this week. It’s been a long time coming for this girl. From pregnant on a chain, to a home of her own. This pretty girl has landed a life that dogs dream of. It makes all the hard days so very worth it! Have the best life, Bella! ♥️ ... See MoreSee Less

Typically when we get a litter of puppies the females are the first to go. This has not been the case with Mama Bella’s babies. The girls have received the least interest. We don’t get it. Puppies always garner lots of attention, not true for Fiona.Fiona is 10 weeks old and a boxer mix. This girl is well socialized as she gets to go to work with her foster at Logan Animal Clinic. Fiona is doing fabulous with her smaller furry foster siblings that are both cat and dogs. She sleeps well in her crate overnight and keeps it clean. She’s getting a good grasp of housebreaking although not perfect yet. Fiona likes her people and is considered a Velcro dog with so much love and snuggles to give. We are looking for a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio that can continue her veterinary care at one of our clinics in Logan or Somerset, Ohio.If you are interested in Fiona, please submit an application using the link in the comments below. Other pets in your home must be fully vaccinated on regular prevention for fleas and heartworm disease along with being spayed or neutered. Regular, yearly veterinary care is an absolute requirement. If you don’t do this with your dogs, please do not apply……their mama came from a home like that, they don’t need more of the same. Please share for Fiona. ... See MoreSee Less
