A couple of hundred people and their pets joined us for Pet Appreciation Day on Saturday, May 11. Watch our video to see what the day was like!
Mushroom Poisoning
With the recent rain and slightly cooler weather in Georgia, we are seeing mushrooms sprouting in many lawns. Several types of mushrooms can be poisonous to dogs. One single type of mushroom, called the “Death Cap” mushroom, is responsible for the majority of fatal mushroom…
From Dr. Mac’s Desk: Little E
The little guy on the left is “e” or “Little E” as we call him. He’s become a really handsome, precocious young kitten, but he definitely didn’t start out that way. On the afternoon of April 16th, Little E was spotted all alone crawling across a busy…
CPR Guidelines for Cats and Dogs
CPR guidelines for cats and dogs were just recently released. We hope you will never have to use CPR on a member of your family or one of your friends but it is important to know just in case something unfortunate happens. This is a…
From Dr. Vince’s Desk: Bladder Stones!
Ever passed a kidney stone or two? We removed these stones from a dog’s urinary bladder today. Fortunately, we found them before he tried to pass them or he would have been in big trouble!
From Dr. Keenan’s Desk: Eclair
Eclair was brought to our Fairburn clinic recently by the manager of the local Dunkin’ Donuts. She was found in their dumpster, and they thought she might have been hit by a car because she could hardly walk. She was in terrible condition and they thought she would have to be put to sleep to end her from suffering.
From Dr. Chris’ Desk: Gator
Gator came in to our Fairburn office last Monday to see Dr. Chris. Gator had stopped eating and he was very lethargic. Although only 6 months old, he walked slowly, like an elderly dog, not bouncing around like an energetic boxer puppy. Puppies commonly swallow things which…
From Dr. Mac’s Desk: Rickey
This is Rickey! It’s amazing we were able to keep him still long enough to get this picture. We first met this little guy in mid-March when a local rescue group pulled him from the Spalding Co. Shelter shortly before he was to be euthanized. After noticing…

Future Help for Dogs with Seizures
University of Minnesota School of Veterinary Medicine research have developed a device which helps predict and control seizures in epileptic dogs. This device could detect seizures before they occur enabling drugs to be given to prevent or minimize the seizure. People with epilepsy might…
Springtime Allergies in Pets
From springtime through the late fall, many people are subject to seasonal allergies. But people are not the only ones suffering. For our dogs and cats, these same seasons can bring intense itching and discomfort. Yes, it seems our pets can get their own “hay fever”.
From Dr. Mac’s Desk: Itchy Dogs, Part I: Atopy
This is Kona. Kona has been really itchy lately. She spends almost all of her time licking and chewing her paws, abdomen, and hindlegs. Over time, her skin has become red, swollen, and scabbed, and despite frequent bathing, she always gives off a foul odor….
From Dr. Keenan’s Desk: Sophie Beats Parvo!
Sophie is a 9 week old Pomeranian puppy we took care of last week. She weighs all of 1 & 1/2 pounds and came in to our Fairburn office last week because she was not eating and had vomiting and diarrhea. Sophie had yet to…
What is an ACL & TTA?
One of the most common orthopedic injuries seen in dogs is a torn anterior cruciate ligament, or “ACL”. This ligament is inside the knee and helps to hold the two main bones (femur and tibia) of the rear leg in alignment. A torn “ACL” is…
From Dr. Jeff’s Desk: Bonnie
Meet Bonnie. She is about 6 years old. Bonnie is a Schipperke who unfortunately spent the first 5 1/2 years of her life as a breeding dog at a Missouri puppy mill. She was dumped at a shelter in Missouri 3 months ago but fortunately…
From Dr. Mac’s Desk: Hershey
I first met Hershey when his new family brought him in for his first puppy visit. Right away, I had some concerns due to his pale, tacky gums, bloated abdomen, and lethargic demeanor. After a thorough exam, I administered subcutaneous fluids to help with dehydration and…
From Dr. Mac’s Desk: Dixie
Meet Dixie! This little girl was brought in by a local rescue group after they were contacted by the Spalding County Animal Shelter. Unbelievably, her previous owner attempted to crop her ears with kitchen shears. As you can see from her picture, her poor ears have been…
From Dr. Loch’s Desk: Rosie & Daisy
Today I had the pleasure of doing a wellness checkup on two 13 week old sister Golden Retriever puppies, Rosie and Daisy. They are as cute as can be and can make even the grouchiest person smile. They both are on track for growth and…
From Dr. Mac’s Desk: Zelda
Around this time last year, Zelda came to see me for her annual check up. Her mom reported that she had vomited a couple of times over the two to three days prior to her visit. Her examination at that time was routine and…
From Dr. Vince’s Desk: Kobe
Kobe is a 6 year old Yorkie and he had to spend a lot of time with us this week. Kobe was bitten on the head by another dog on Sunday and was rushed to Southern Crescent Animal Emergency Clinic in Fayetteville. He suffered severe…
