🌟 Team Spotlight: Aislinn Davis, RVT & Lateral

🌟 Team Spotlight: Aislinn Davis, RVT & Lateral Fabellar Suture Repair Surgery 🌟

Hi! My name is Aislinn, and I'm a veterinary technologist here at Pioneer Veterinary Clinic. I’m inspired every day by the difference our orthopedic surgeries make in the lives of our clients and their pets.

Surgery is a major responsibility in our profession. One of my favorite areas is anesthesia and orthopedic surgery—particularly the Lateral Fabellar Suture Repair. This technique allows us to repair torn ligaments in a pet's knee, restoring mobility and comfort over time.

A few months ago, Bear came to us with lameness and knee pain. X-rays revealed a torn ligament, and we decided on a Lateral Fabellar Suture Repair, placing a strong suture behind the kneecap and through the tibia as a ligament replacement. While effective, Bear's journey to full recovery included months of rehabilitation.

To help with post-surgical healing and manage arthritis, we offer laser therapy and acupuncture. Both treatments promote healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate discomfort. It’s rewarding to see the relaxation and comfort our patients experience, especially with laser therapy.

Seeing our patients improve and thrive after treatment is incredibly fulfilling. Every success story reminds me why I’m passionate about this work!

🐾 Thank you, Aislinn, for your dedication to our patients and their recovery!

As our pets age, their health needs special attention! Regular check-ups and preventative care are essential to keep them happy and healthy. At Pioneer Veterinary Services we take senior pet care very seriously. Ask your Pioneer Veterinary team today for more care information.

🐶 Why Preventative Care?
It's always better to prevent issues rather than wait for them to become serious. Early detection can make a world of difference.

🐱 Key Preventative Measures:
Annual Examinations: Regular vet visits help catch health issues early.
Vaccination Appointments: Stay up-to-date on vaccinations to prevent diseases.
Blood Tests: Routine blood counts, blood chemistry, and thyroid testing provide vital insights into your pet's health.
Urine Testing: This simple test can reveal issues with kidney function and other health concerns.
Chest X-rays: Helps monitor heart and lung health as pets age.
Additional diagnostic tests may be recommended depending on what the Veterinarian finds on examination.

🐶 Start Early! It's a great idea to begin these tests when your pet is younger. Establishing a health baseline will help your vet spot changes as they age.

Ready to prioritize your senior pet's health? Call Pioneer Veterinary Services, and we’ll be happy to book you in for a check-up!

Help us support local pets and families in need! 🐶 🐱

From November 15th to December 15th, both of our locations are hosting a Pet Food Drive to collect donations for local pet food banks, helping animals and the families who love them. 🤎

Your donations of dog food, cat food, and treats—dry or canned—will make a huge difference for pets in need right here in our community. We will also have a table set up with food at both locations to purchase at your next visit!

Every item donated will go to local pet food banks to support families struggling to care for their pets.

By donating, you’re helping not only the animals but also their owners who may be facing tough times. Let’s make sure no pet goes with a hungry belly this holiday season! 🐾🎄

As the weather cools, it's time to think about fec

As the weather cools, it's time to think about fecal floats and fall deworming for your horse.

Here’s why this seasonal step is crucial:
🔬Parasite Lifecycle: Parasites like strongyles and bots have complex life cycles that continue even as temperatures drop. Fall deworming helps disrupt these cycles before they become a problem.

🍂 Managing Resistance: Regular deworming reduces parasite egg counts and helps prevent drug resistance, ensuring effective treatment now and in the future.

🐴 Seasonal Strategy: Fall is a key time to address parasites because it sets the stage for winter health. Parasites that go unchecked can cause issues as your horse spends more time indoors and may face reduced pasture access. Fall deworming ensures they enter the winter season strong and healthy.

Did you know that regular fecal testing is key to creating an effective, tailored deworming program for your horse? Instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach, fecal tests allow us to identify which parasites are present and help determine the best treatment plan. This prevents unnecessary deworming, reduces the risk of parasite resistance, and keeps your horse in peak health!
