📰📢 BIG NEWS! Starting December 15th, we have a second doctor! Now booking. 🗓☎️

👨‍⚕️🩺⚕️Welcome, Dr. Jet Grant to the team! Several of us knew him before he went to vet school, and we are so excited he is coming to work with us as a veterinarian. I am proud to call him a colleague, and trust you and your pets are going to like him! 🐕🐈🏥 We are excited to be able to have better availability to help your pets while keeping the friendly atmosphere you know and love. 👏🏼👏🏼

Here's a short bio:

Meet Angelica, our new receptionist! She is a local Slatonite who comes to us after having worked in the human dentistry field. She's a proud wife and mother of 3 children who attend school here in Slaton! She is an animal lover, of course, with 2 dogs at home. She describes herself as "boring," but she has a fun personality and fits right in to the crew. And we are very excited to have a bilingual staff member to better serve our clients. 🤩🤗
Edited to add: she wants to make it abundantly clear she was a Southland Eagle. 🤣 In my defense, I didn't say she was a Slaton grad. Slatonite= Slaton citizen.

Did you know we will spay cats at 4 months (4 lbs) of age? They CAN go into heat that early, and there is no legitimate reason to delay a spay.

😁Fun fact: cats are induced ovulators. What does that mean? Females will not ovulate (release an egg) unless they are bred. If they breed, they are almost guaranteed to get pregnant!! 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

Cool case! Meet Brinkley, a young Golden Retriever who presented to us for a pretty bad case of entropion. Entropion is an inward rolling of the eyelid. This can cause hair to rub the eye, leading to irritation and tearing. Notice in the first video how his right eye constantly "cries," and he holds in shut most of the time. The second video shows how it looked under anesthesia, and then I roll it outward into the correct position. Picture 3 is immediately post-op, and the last picture is at the time of suture removal. So much more comfortable!! These are very rewarding surgeries and one of my favorites. -Dr. Thomas
