Ear Infections: New Technology
By: Dr. Susan Wootten
New technology yields amazing results for pets with ear problems. Years ago it was commonplace for pets to have repetitive ear infections that just simply could not be cured. Pet owners, across the nation, returned to veterinarians month after month to obtain ear ointments that seemed to help but did not cure ear infections.
Nine years ago, AHNA became one of a small number of hospitals to obtain the MedRx Video-Otoscopy equipment and instruments. This high-resolution video instrument allows detailed visualization of the outer ear canal, the eardrum and the middle ear. We felt that investing in this equipment was important because of the high number of chronic ear infections and the pain and discomfort caused by them. Prior to this technology, veterinarians did not realize that a high percentage of ear infections reoccurred because of untreated middle ear infections and polyps that could not be accurately diagnosed or treated - to read more, Click Here.

Pet Spotlight: Smokey the Guide
Dog
Although totally blind, Animal Hospital of North Asheville client James Hedrik resisted getting a guide dog for a long time. "I thought it would be too much responsibility," said James. He was urged to get a guide dog by Services for the Blind and fortunately his case worker persisted in her efforts to get James to consider a guide dog.
"Finally I went to her office. We called all around the country and spoke to nine different groups, but it didn't work out. None of these organizations felt right. The last phone call we made was to the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind in Long Island, New York."

Testimonial: Biscuits, spray cheese, lots of kisses
Biscuits, spray cheese, lots of kisses. Those are some of
 the things that come to our minds when we think about AHNA. We get so excited when we get near AHNA, even if the humans are just running an errand or going to the grocery store. We are so sure all those wonderful friendly professionals would just love to see us. After all, we are made to feel like the most important dogs in the world, even though we know there are hundreds who feel the same way, (and cats too), but we don't know much about cats.

Snapper and Meg want you to vote for AHNA!

Not only does AHNA provide the highest quality of professional care, but every effort is made to make "our" experience the very best it can be. Thanks to each and every one of you who make AHNA the most unique and caring atmosphere two little dogs could wish for. We frankly feel very secure knowing that no matter what happens, we have friends that can make it all better.
 Our mom and dad have told us about what great care Dr. Earley and the whole staff provided for Skipper, our dear departed brother. He had cancer and because of the compassion and skill of everyone at AHNA, chemotherapy allowed him to have a pretty normal life until the end, which was made very special by the care and compassion shown at a very difficult time. Just another reason AHNA is tops on our list.
Keep it up guys, we love you!!

The Cat in the Hat: A Secret Agent in Training By: Dorothy Williams
We did not know what we were getting into when we
 | |
Orly in 'civilian' clothes.
|
agreed to foster 3 little kittens. They were just over a month old and suffering from lice, (fortunately only cats can get cat lice), respiratory and eye infections. A good Samaritan brought the three brothers into AHNA. We had originally planned to find homes for all three kittens once they were feeling better. Orly had a different plan. When the second kitten's family came to pick him up, Orly hid. We knew that he had chosen us as his family. He was a perfect fit in our household with the two crazy dogs. He continues to supply us with endless stories and laughter.

Orly in one of his many disguises!
|
Looking back at the habits he has formed and the phases he has gone through, there is only one conclusion; he is training to be a secret agent.
Orly learned to blend in with dogs early on in life. He sits on command when it is treat time (which he does better than one of the dogs). He channels his inner cattle dog when he chases the dogs and bites at their heels. And when the UPS man drives by or comes to the house, among the barks of the dogs, you can hear a low grumble from Orly as he stomps through the house.
Through the years he has gone through very weird and random phases - to read about Orly's adventures Click Here!

at AHNA is to provide the highest level of medical, dental and surgical

discomfort and to strive to minimize separation from the people they
love.
