Midnight Scare: An ER Vet's Guide to Emergency Care
|
Our veterinarian at TVV Decatur Emergency, Dr. Alycia Cullen, provides important information to help prepare you in case your pet has an after hours emergency..
An emergency visit to the veterinarian can be fraught with stress and emotion. Chances are, if you are coming to see us in the middle of the night, you are very concerned about the well-being of your pet. First, you are trying to decide if you should come in...are the symptoms bad enough? Can they wait until the morning? Then, you have to decide how you are going to get here. Who will be there to greet you? Will your pet receive the same great care overnight that he or she always receives during the day?
Here are a few facts about pet emergency care that may help you better prepare for a trip to the ER:

The Georgia Operative of Project Samana
|
 Most of you may remember our team from TVV Lilburn-Stone Mtn. participating in the veterinary outreach program, Project Samana, in the Dominican Republic last November, 2014. As Dr. Carrie McColgan had said in an article posted prior to that trip, she envisioned "developing a long-term international program that could be supported and maintained by [our] colleagues at The Village Vets, as well as colleagues from other veterinary practices in the Atlanta area.

We know this is a really "crappy" topic to bring up or it really "stinks" to have this discussion but...
Fecal exams, intestinal parasites, and stool samples - are just a few things pet owners will hear that relate to their dog's or cat's "business". Though it's not particularly something a lot of pet owners want to spend much time thinking about - and who can blame them - it really is important to learn the "what", "where", and "how" of intestinal parasites, as well as the "why" fecal exams and parasite prevention are an important part of your pet's ongoing health care. As the title suggests, we want to give you the full "scoop" on this not so touchy-feely topic.

 Even with all those "other" online stores' emails filling up your inbox, it is still very much worth your while to shop our online store for your pet's healthcare needs - whether it is for heartworm / parasite prevention, flea control, prescription and non-prescription products and medications, etc. We continually monitor and compare what is out there and when we can, which is often, we make sure our prices are lower. On our store there are, and will always be, discounted prices offered, consumer rebates available and various other ways to save you money. What is most important to us, as your pet's veterinarian, is compliance and we know that compliance is always better when lower prices and convenience are provided to pet owners. To top it all off - you will know you are buying these products from a source you trust most with your pet's health.
