HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

Dr Gray is BACK HOME!!!!

Welcome back Dr. Reynolds Gray. After venturing out for the past two years learning and growing as a veterinarian and a person, she has decided to come back home to Bear Creek. She started back with us March 7th and has merged right back in just as smoothly as you please. Her compassionate nature and easy-going personality have been missed. We are happy to announce that she is seeing appointment on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and performing surgeries on Fridays. She will be able to begin doing chiropractic again very soon as […]

Change is Inevitable

By Dr. Amy Jordan|November 1st, 2021|

EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2021

I feel sure you guys are getting tired of hearing about the struggle we are facing by being short staffed with veterinarians. Trust me, probably not as tried as I am of being short on veterinarians. I speak for all of us at Bear Creek when I say that we all agree with you that things need to change.

We are still searching for new veterinarians to join our team. There truly is a shortage of veterinary staff across the country. Fewer people are staying in the profession and those that are in the profession and sticking […]

Separation Anxiety in Dogs

By Dr. Amy Jordan|November 1st, 2021|

My colleagues and I whole heartedly agree that it seems we are having the discussion about separation anxiety a lot more frequently that we used to. Owners are requesting more and more assistance with their dogs because of this condition.

It may go without saying but, it’s the dogs that are suffering from separation anxiety. The cats are just glad you are finally giving them some peace and quiet.

It also seems that we are seeing more patients daily that are not the easiest to handle and do not feel comfortable out in public around people that are not […]

TO ALL OF OUR CLIENTS

By Dr. Amy Jordan|July 1st, 2021|

Hello Bear Creek Family!

2020/2021 has provided Bear Creek Veterinary Hospital with many challenges in scheduling as well as staffing. Every single patient and client is very special to us, therefore we felt it was necessary to write to each of you and keep you updated on various issues and solutions we are experiencing on a day to day basis. BCVH has prided itself in the relationships we have built over the last 15+ years and we will continue to work to earn the trust you have placed in us. That means face to face conversations and decision making.

Dear Bear Creek Family

Dear Bear Creek Family

By Dr. Matt Movassaghi|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 […]

Should I get my pet Spayed or Neutered and if so, at what age?

By Dr. Amy Jordan|April 1st, 2021|

This is a much debated and frequently asked question. It is also with many possible answers. Honestly, there are many factors that go into
this decision and there is no one absolute answer. I will, however, discuss some factors and
reasons why one should do so and when.

Let me start by saying the age at which it is recommended
that an animal be spayed or neutered is a case-by-case evaluation of
environment, breed, purpose of use, and disease prevention. All these factors go into a sort of risk
assessment analysis and we come up with a recommendation.

There are many opinions about this topic […]

COVID-19: Thoughts from Dr. Jordan

COVID-19: Thoughts from Dr. Jordan

By Dr. Amy Jordan|April 1st, 2020|

Photo Credit: U.S. Department of State https://www.state.gov/coronavirus/

I myself am personally very desensitized to anything else
that comes across my newsfeed or email that has more to do with Covid 19. I get inundated with so many vendors, support
companies, insurance brokers, etc. telling me how they can help or news
agencies updating me on the current numbers.
The last thing I wanted to do was add to the barrage other people, my
clients, were having to endure. However,
my husband requested that I try to address the current concern still held by
many that animals are a concern with the spread of Covid 19.

I do not […]

#TFTVT (Tales from the Vet Truck) Volume Four: Holiday Blues

By Dr. Amy Jordan|December 31st, 2019|

Large animal veterinarians know all too well that holidays
are often interrupted with emergency calls.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are known for large family gatherings with
large meals, but they are also known for cold weather. Before I hired my first associate, I was a
solo practitioner and I worked every

Thanksgiving and Christmas for 7 years with no break. It was a given that I would be called out at
some point during these holidays.
One Thanksgiving in particular, my mother-in-law came to visit for the
week. She remarked that she wouldn’t
mind going on a few calls with me, if I got any (If I […]

How the Opioid crisis is affecting Veterinary Medicine and your pets….

How the Opioid crisis is affecting Veterinary Medicine and your pets….

By Dr. Amy Jordan|December 31st, 2019|

The severity and longevity of opioid abuse in society has
caused a ripple effect in the veterinary world and will continue to be a
problem for some time. The purpose of
this article is only to shed some light on the complications we deal with every
day and will likely have to deal with in the near future in veterinary
medicine.

There have always been regulations, guidelines, and the
proverbial hoops to jump through surrounding the use of controlled substances;
but, new and tighter restrictions are being introduced. It is very difficult to keep up with the new
rules as they seem to be popping up daily.

CBD Oil, Veterinary Medicine, and Your Pets

By Dr. Amy Jordan|October 1st, 2019|

CBD oil is such a popular supplement out there today that
many humans are trying on themselves. It
is a short step to see those humans also trying it out on their pets. Wildly popular for its claims on almost
anything from cancer to anxiety, if there is an ailment, then someone is going
to recommend CBD for it. I have
received a lot of questions about CBD oil in my patients and if they can use it
for various problems. There is a
clear-cut answer for veterinarians currently, but it is not one my clients like
to hear. I wanted to take some time to
explain the […]
