WVH is offering in-house Board Certified Specialty Services
We are excited to announce that we are partnering with a mobile internal medicine specialty called MOVES. This allows Dr. Linda Okonkowski, a Board-Certified Veterinary Internal Medicine Specialist, to perform procedures such as ultrasound, endoscopy, foreign body retrieval, and more here at our hospital! We are fortunate enough to be able to offer this new extra convenient option for clients who are interested in pursuing further specialized care for their pets. Please contact our office if you want to gather further information for your pet!
Vaccine Protocol Update
In light of higher cases of canine respiratory illness that we have seen over the last 6 months, we are recommending that any dogs that interact with other dogs at daycare, boarding, grooming, or dog parks obtain a canine Influenza series with a booster yearly and to booster their Bordetella vaccine every 6 months instead of once a year.
Outside Pharmacy Update
Anyone who is having prescriptions filled at an outside pharmacy please be aware that prescription refill requests need to be made to the pharmacy and not to the clinic. We will have refills available when appropriate with the original prescription. If you need more refills the pharmacy will contact the clinic to refill your pet’s prescription. We will not be calling you back to confirm the prescription call-in, please be assured that it is done. As well, the outside pharmacy will likely not call you when prescriptions are filled.
If you need training for your dog, we are partnering with Harmony Dog Training. Harmony offers behavioral consultation with positive training as well as group classes. For more information on both click below.
Kindred Souls
We know how hard it is to cope with the loss of a beloved pet. It is good to have a community of people that know the sorrow you are feeling. In every edition of our newsletter, we would like to remember that pets that we have loved and lost. If you would like to submit a picture and/or a short remembrance to be in our next newsletter please send it to Dr. Eberly at ceberly@wvhcares.com.
