Hey, hey, hey!! Wad up?!? This dogs' cholesterol/fat/triglycerides/amylase/ lipase jaaaaast to name a few! Yeppers!! I know, probably every veterinarian has or is posting pics of the same thing, but.....you know me from my past history, wanna/gotta show ya!! Nothing new to veterinary medicine, especially during this time of year. Hemorrhagic enteritis, pancreatitis, IBD....not inventing a new syndrome by any means BUT, able to show what blood from a dog given "extra treats," looks like!! Thanks grannie, uncle Harry, outcast Harold, & all the other "family," that, " just couldn't stand to have him look at me that way, so I just gave him a little." Well, then let me just give you a little.....of the vet bill you cost me!!! 😧😳 Happy Holidays? Dr.T 😎 Be super cool as always 😉 THOMPSON VET SERVICES

Happy Pre T-day peeps! One of our dentals for the day. Just amazing to me still to this very day, how these animals adapt to certain conditions. This is a 13 yr. old geriatric. The halitosis this patient had 7 days ago was mind blowing, but owners stated within a day or < on antibiotics, the halitodiminishedshed considerably. Love it man!!! Pre-dental labs, anesthesia, & recovery were good and went well. I know, I posted a similar post about a dental we did, but MAN!!, this is just a too good of an opportunity to miss, not to instill how important regular dentals are for your "babies!!" Again, if that mouth smells like the "ars end"....take a look & get an appointment with your veterinarian!! Be cool, Dr.T

What can I say??? Busted!! Yep, he loves cheeseburgers, plain and dry....we do remove one side of the bread to help lower his carb intake!!🤓😳😉🤣🤣 He frick'n deserves it!! He puts up with me!! Love this guy! Dr.T 😎

National Responsible Pet Owners Month

The month of February is National Responsible Pet Owners Month! Animals have been our companions for thousands of years, whether it be cats, dogs, horses or even cows. Owning a pet is great fun, but also a great responsibility. 

Here are some tips for being the best pet owner you can be:

Make sure your pet is getting a healthy diet and plenty of exercise.

Different types of animals need different types of diets, which means it's your job as a pet owner to make sure the food you're giving your pet is right for them. Obesity in animals is very common but can be detrimental to your pets health!

Bring your pet to the vet for regular checkups.

Bringing your pet in for a checkup at least once a year is essential in making sure your pet is healthy and happy. Your vet will check for any signs of illnesses that you may not be aware of!

Make sure your pet is groomed and has good hygiene.

All pets need regular baths and haircuts, but some breeds might need to be groomed more often than others. Keeping clean ears and teeth should also be a regular routine to keep dental disease away!

Pet-proof your home.

Sometimes, we don't realize the things in our own homes could be potentially dangerous for pets. Some house plants can be poisonous to pets if eaten, so always be cautious of what your pet could get into!

We hope these tips have inspired you to become the most responsible pet owner ever!
