Dear Bear Creek Family

By |April 1st, 2021|

I am writing to inform you that I will be resigning from my role as an associate veterinarian at Bear Creek Veterinary Hospital as of May 31st, 2021.

If you did not already know, Bear Creek Veterinary Hospital is the first clinic I have worked at since graduating from veterinary school in 2017.  I initially moved to this area and started to gain experience practicing as a mixed animal veterinarian, but quickly found my niche working in the hospital with cats and dogs. I have learned so much during my time here, and I am so thankful for the past 4 […]

    In-House vs. Reference Lab Testing (including benefits of both)

In-House vs. Reference Lab Testing (including benefits of both)

By |February 1st, 2019|

One of the major progressions in veterinary medicine is the
ability to perform more specific and accurate laboratory testing.  This is of utmost importance when your pet is
ill, but is also needed for routine wellness screenings, pre-anesthetic
evaluations, and monitoring response to therapy.

As you may know, we are able to perform many laboratory
tests ‘in-house.’ This means that we can obtain results the same day that your
pet is in the clinic. We do this by using microscopes, blood machines, and
urine analyzers located in the hospital laboratory area. Examples of different
in-house tests we perform include: complete blood count, full blood chemistry
and electrolyte analysis, […]

What is the pancreas?
The pancreas is one of the organs in the abdomen (belly) that is located near the stomach.

What does the pancreas do?
The pancreas releases hormones (like insulin) and enzymes (lipase and amylase) into the intestinal tract for digestion. When your dog eats a meal, the pancreas responds by releasing these substances to help digest the food as it moves through the stomach and the intestines.

What is […]

Anxiety in Your Pets

By |July 1st, 2018|

Animal behavior is a very interesting subject and there has been a vast amount of research focused on better explaining the ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ actions of our domesticated animals.

It is important to note that ‘behavior’ is influenced by several components, including genetics, environment, and life experiences.  When diagnosing an animal with a behavioral disorder, it is also crucial to look for any underlying medical causes of the behavioral issues.  For example, elimination problems (house-soiling) could be a sign of gastrointestinal and/or urinary disease.  Animals suffering from chronic pain can often exhibit distressing behaviors; therefore, a veterinarian should perform a […]

Pet Emergency Medicine

By |April 1st, 2018|

While veterinary emergencies are stressful for pets and their owners, this guide may serve to help better prepare you and alleviate some of the worry should your pet experience a medical emergency. Please note that this is strictly a GUIDE, and is NOT intended to serve as specific veterinary medical advice or treatment for your individual pet.

As with any emergency situations, one of the most important things is to try to Remain Calm.
