This #worldveterinaryday, we celebrate the veterinary team! Animal health is not the responsibility of veterinarians alone. It requires a team of veterinary nurses, assistants, caretakers, animal owners, customer service representatives, researchers, and policy-makers. Animal health is directly connected to public health. Healthy animals mean healthier communities, and veterinarians are key members of the team that helps prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases and protect both animal and human health. Veterinary teams worldwide, from rural clinics to research institutions, work together to combat emerging animal diseases, promote animal welfare, and ensure sustainable food systems.

What happens during your pet’s wellness visit? A typical visit might include a physical exam, diagnostic screening tests, and a subsequent review of results to track your pet’s overall health and identify early warning signs of health problems.

Great question! Diagnostic screening tests can act as an early warning system to uncover health issues before your dog shows signs of illness. Comparing test results from year to year also helps us to better understand your dog’s individual health needs.

Routine wellness visits are a great way to help your pet live a healthy life for as long as possible. These visits can help us detect potential health issues early and may help you avoid larger treatment costs that can happen as disease progresses.

Don’t forget regular tick checks! If you find any, remove them immediately and let your veterinarian know. It’s important to protect your pet year-round and to test annually for evidence of tick-borne diseases!

But fecal screenings are an important step in protecting your pet. Fecal antigen testing helps us find intestinal parasite infections that other types of testing may miss. Bring a sample to your pet’s next visit and ask us about year-round parasite preventives!

Dr. Barton-Glenn and Veterinary Assistant Makayla

Dr. Barton-Glenn and Veterinary Assistant Makayla were out in Swannanoa today lending hands and strong backs to get a flock of sheep out of Helene’s mud and back to green pasture. ♥️ #WNCStrong #keepthefaith #HurricaneHelene

This sweet girl had to hike 5 miles with her person to rescuers. She arrived in critical condition, in severe respiratory distress and body temperature 108 degrees F. She was stabilized nearby, and transferred to the Companion Animal Shelter Trailer parked just outside the shelter housing her person. She relapsed and was rushed to our clinic unable to breathe and in distress. She was intubated, had x-rays and an airway exam to diagnose her pneumonia and laryngeal paralysis. She was kept overnight and was discharged next day with medication. Here she is the morning right before going home, getting love from Katie Davis, RVT, who worked alongside Dr. Jornigan and Dr. Pollard when she presented Wednesday Oct 2, 2024. Pup and person were both able to return home yesterday. All of her care was covered by the generous donations to our clinic’s Angel fund. #hurricanehelene #wnc #wncstrong #keepthefaith

Saturday morning adventure! Our entire staff climb

Saturday morning adventure! Our entire staff climbed in the saddle this weekend to school through some challenging obstacles. Teeter-totters, bridges of various widths, stone stairs, water, flags, pool noodles, a flintstones cart, Slim Jim the inflatable tube dude, tarps, and many other spooky challenges. We had so much fun riding together, cheering one another on, learning, and overcoming - on the ground and on horseback! Thank you James, Lily, and the team for a fun morning at @lambfarm_horses4902 #aaephorsedocs

Dr. Pate and his wife Savannah reside in the Lawndale community with their two dogs, Potter, an English Setter, and Georgianna, a Gordon Setter.
