We’ve been working on something here in the clinic… 🐟🩺🌿

This tank started out as a basic little riverbed, and then we got ambitious and turned it into a full makeover. Dr. Gill has been doing nonstop inspections—slow laps, dramatic pauses, staring at plants like they’re medical charts.

And our kories? Oh they’re here… technically. They blend into the gravel so well they’re basically part of the flooring. You’ll be looking at “rocks” and then suddenly one grows whiskers and disappears like an employee who heard someone say “team meeting.”

So yes—clinic upgrades are underway, Dr. Gill is in charge, and the staff is mostly invisible… but morale is high. 🐟✨

🎊 New Year, same WildThings reminder: your pet does not need a midnight snack.

Heads up, WildThings family — we’ll be CLOSED Wednesday & Thursday for the New Year holiday and will reopen Friday ready to see your crew!

🥂🍽️ New Year foods can be extra tempting (to pets and humans), but a lot of party staples can cause big problems. Even a “tiny taste” of rich/fatty foods can lead to pancreatitis—painful and can turn into an emergency fast.

Common New Year troublemakers:

🚫Ham, bacon, sausage

🚫Cheesy dips, creamy foods, buttery sides, gravy

🚫Fatty meat scraps/skin

🚫Desserts (especially chocolate or anything sweetened with xylitol)

✅ Best plan: Keep plates up, trash secured, and stick to your pet’s normal diet (or ask us about safe treats).
Because “they begged” is not a great reason to spend your New Year at the ER. 🫠

🚨 If an emergency happens while we’re closed, here are trusted options:
🐾 NVS – Clarksville: (931) 551-2121
🐾 Little Angels Urgent Care – Clarksville: (931) 338-1829
🐾 BluePearl – Franklin & Nashville: (615) 383-2600
🐾 VEG (treats exotics!): (629) 235-4420

Wishing you a safe, fun New Year with full hearts, happy tails, and zero “my dog ate the ham” texts 😂🎆💛

🎄Christmas is here, WildThings family! 🎄

Just a reminder that we will be closed Wednesday and Thursday for the holiday. We’ll reopen Friday, ready to take care of all your pets’ needs.

Before the cooking (and the eating!) begins, here’s your gentle holiday reminder:

Christmas food + pets = a recipe for trouble.

Even small amounts of turkey skin, gravy, buttery sides, or anything rich can lead to pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and can become an emergency fast.

👉 Best rule: Keep the feast on the table and stick to your pet’s normal diet. Those big eyes may be cute… but ER bills aren’t. 😅
If an emergency pops up while we’re closed, you can reach out to any of these trusted hospitals:
🐾 NVS – Clarksville: (931) 551-2121
🐾 Little Angels Urgent Care ( Closed Christmas Day) – Clarksville: (931) 338-1829
🐾 BluePearl – Franklin & Nashville: (615) 383-2600
🐾 VEG (treats exotics!): (629) 235-4420

From all of us at WildThings, we hope your holiday is full of warmth, gratitude, and extra snuggles from your four-legged family members.

🐾💉 We’re hiring: Veterinary Assistant / Technician 💉🐾

Do you love vet med — the hands-on, fast-paced, “we’ve got each other” kind of vet med? We’re looking for someone who truly enjoys being part of a team, jumps in where needed, and cares about doing right by our patients and clients every single day.

One thing that matters a lot to us: there’s no “doctor vs. tech vs. assistant” separation here. We’re one team. We all depend on each other, we all help each other, and we all step in to make the day work — for the pets, for the clients, and for each other.

What we’re hoping you’re confident in (or excited to grow into):
🐾 Placing catheters (IV)
🐾 Assisting in surgery + patient prep
🐾 Helping during appointments and treatments
🐾 Patient handling/restraint with kindness and confidence
🐾 Has VetMed experience

The kind of teammate we’re looking for:
✨ You communicate, you show up, and you pitch in
✨ You care about good medicine and you want to keep learning
✨ You stay calm and thoughtful on busy days
✨ You love animals — and you also love teamwork (because we really mean it)

If you’re the type of person who gets excited about building skills, helping patients feel safe, and being surrounded by people who love vet med as much as you do… we’d love to meet you.

🚨 FOUND KITTEN – PLEASE SHARE 🚨

This sweet little guy was found today outside Kuramoto's Japanese Restaurant in the Village. He is a young, unneutered male with no microchip or collar.

He seems well cared for — he’s chunky, healthy-looking, and very friendly — so we believe someone is missing him and worried.

❤️ We’d really love to get this little man back home.
If you recognize him or have any information, please call us at 615-288-5630 or send us a message.

Please share to help reunite him with his family!

📣 Meet Reagan — How a Routine Dental Uncovered Something Bigger 💙🐾

Hi everyone, meet sweet Reagan. She’s a 13-year-old mixed-breed girl who came to see us after months of reverse sneezing. Recently, she also started eating less and losing a little weight, which worried her family.

Since Reagan had never had a dental before, her owner elected to schedule one to see if dental disease might be the cause.

Once she was sedated and we prepared to intubate her, we made a discovery that we never would’ve seen on a normal physical exam: a large mass hidden deep in the back of her mouth, only visible once her tongue was fully extended. This explained the reverse sneezing, gagging, and decreased appetite.

Because of the location, this mass cannot be seen during a routine visit — it was only detectable after sedation.

To learn more, her family elected to do chest X-rays to check for spread (metastasis). Thankfully, everything looked clear.

We then discussed treatment options:
🔹 Surgical removal is possible, but it is risky due to how the mass spreads through the tissue in the mouth and how firmly it is attached.
🔹 Another option was AlphaFlo, a biologic injection we’ve had great success with for helping shrink certain masses, especially in older pets or in areas where surgery is more complicated.

Reagan’s family chose to try the AlphaFlo first.

She came back one week later. Her cough had improved, and she’d only had one episode of reverse sneezing. She was brighter and more comfortable overall. Under sedation, we rechecked the mass and found that it is definitely shrinking, which is very encouraging.

However, because of the way the mass extends through the tissues in her mouth and how strongly it’s connected, surgery would still be a complex and high-risk option. Her family is looking at all choices and focusing on keeping Reagan comfortable — and right now, she is acting like her normal, happy senior girl. They will come back for a follow up to see if the mass will shrink more.

We wanted to share Reagan’s story because:
💙 Diagnostics matter — we often find things in the most unexpected places.
💙 AlphaFlo can be an incredible option for pets who aren’t ideal surgical candidates.
💙 Every pet deserves a customized plan, and Reagan is a perfect example of teamwork between a pet’s family and the veterinary team.

Sending all our love to Reagan — the sweetest old girl with a big heart and a big spirit. 💙🐾 a prome spot

The goal of veterinary medicine should always be the same — what helps the pet the most.

That's why Elevated Care Isn’t Just a Motto… It’s Our Mission.

We believe veterinary medicine works best when everyone is working together. That’s why our team isn’t afraid to collaborate, call specialists for input, or bring advanced services directly into our hospital when it means better care for your pet.

Your pet deserves a team — and we’re proud to be part of it. 💛

What Makes WildThings Different?
We bring advanced care directly to our community.

Instead of sending you across Nashville every time something complex comes up, we’ve added specialty-level diagnostics right here in Pleasant View.

🔍 In-House Ultrasound (Pet-Friendly & Comfortable)

Our ultrasounds are:
• Safe, gentle, and painless
• Often done with light sedation so anxious pets can relax
• Reviewed by Dr. Larson, a trusted diagnostic expert with Music City Pet Internal Medicine
• Easily shared with YOUR primary vet — whether you’re a WildThings client or not

👉 You do NOT have to be a client to schedule an ultrasound with us.

🦴 Advanced Orthopedic & Specialty Surgery (Right Here at Home)

We’re honored to work with Dr. Jeff Nunley, DVM, DACVS, a board-certified surgeon with decades of experience.
By bringing Dr. Nunley to WildThings, your pet gets specialty-level surgery without long travel, crowded waiting rooms, or an unfamiliar hospital.

Procedures available onsite include:
• TPLO / ACL Repair
• Fracture Repair
• TECA
• Laryngeal Tie-Back
• Shoulder OCD Surgery
• And more

Why We Collaborate

Because when vets talk to each other, patients win.
We openly consult with:
• Your primary veterinarian - If you receive an ultrasound
• Local specialists
• Diagnostic partners

Everyone works together. Everyone communicates. Everyone has the same goal:

Helping your pet feel better as quickly and comfortably as possible.

This is Elevated Care — the WildThings way. 🐾💛

1/2 OFF EXAMS every Tuesday & Thursday ALL MONTH LONG!

Your pets get a checkup…

Bring in the itchy ones, the chunky ones, the zoomie champions, the drama queens, and the “I swear he never acts like this at home” pets. We love them all. 😂💕

Call us to snag your spot—these appointments fill up faster than a dog grabs a fallen piece of turkey on Thanksgiving. 🦃💨
