Healing Creatures Animal Hospital

Covid 19 protocol update... Thank you everyone for your cooperation with all the changes we have had to make recently. We know this time is strange and stressful for everyone! - During June we will be open from 9am-5pm Monday through Thursday. (this may be subject to change but we will try to keep you updated) - We are still seeing SICK and EMERGENCY appointments ONLY. Vaccine appointments can be scheduled on a case-by-case basis. Surgeries are being scheduled on a case-b...y-case basis. - All of our appointments are still being done curbside- we will bring your pet into the hospital to be evaluated while you wait in your car, then Dr. Stern will call you to discuss her findings and recommendations. These protocols are based on recommendations put forth from the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association. As the situation changes our protocols may change as well; we will try to keep everyone informed. For the most up-to-date policies or if you have any questions please call the office at 717-730-3755.

A couple of friendly reminders to help ensure it is a safe and healthy one for the four legged members of your family (In other words, we want you to enjoy a nice weekend at home instead of having to make a trip to the emergency veterinarian!): 1. NO CHOCOLATE for pets!! Like us, dogs LOVE Chocolate and will consume large amounts very quickly unlike us however, chocolate is toxic to dogs signs can vary from vomiting and diarrhea for small amounts consumed, to collapse and... even death if a large amount is consumed relative to body size. Please keep all chocolate WELL out of reach of your pets. 2. LILIES ARE TOXIC TO CATS! Even a small amount of pollen licked off of their fur can make them make them very sick it can even be fatal! To be safe, don’t have Easter Lilies in your house if you have cats. 3. BEWARE OF ‘GARBAGE GUT’ (aka Dietary Indiscretion)! Most pets have relatively sensitive digestive tracts. Table food whether given intentionally as a treat or accidently because the pet got into the garbage can cause severe stomach upset and a painful, potentially life threatening condition called pancreatitis. Your pet will be happy just spending time with you they don’t need any ‘extra special treats’ to celebrate with. Also, as final reminder since Easter weekend happens to coincide with 4:20 this year please remember to keep all Marijuana containing products well out of reach of your pets! Dogs seem to like the taste of marijuana cigarettes (joints) and of course (being dogs) they will consume any edible products they can find often ending up with a very large dose all at once. It can make them very ill.

Mobile veterinary ultrasound at your service. We come to you! Do you know a pet that is in need of an Abdominal ultrasound or an Echocardiogram? Give us a call.

Happy Thursday. Call prior coming to office. We may be delayed or closed due to weather. Thank you and be safe.

We want to wish you all a Happy New Years.

MISSING - $1,000 REWARD if brought back. Reposting since he’s still not back. He’s a male pug almost 5 years old. Went into the woods off Nicholson Road and Mon...tclair in Cumming (Forsyth Co) GA early Sunday morning (10/18). PLEASE help bring my sweet boy back. He’s really shy and likely won’t come to you. I miss him terribly. See more
