The allergy seminar was well attended this week as we finished our 5th topic in the series. While we will not have a seminar in July due to timing and travel, the next one in August will probably be popular since the topic is behavior. I’ve done several behavior lectures before, and have found time to be the most limiting factor. We’ll be covering several topics this time, but I won’t have aggression as one of them. I have found that to be far too involved to cover in a seminar of only an hour and a half in length.
If you have a question regarding aggression, you can contact our office and we will be happy to try and help. Meanwhile, if you’d like to attend our upcoming seminars, please call the office for your reservation. Seating is limited and is filled as you call. Hope too see you there!

As I sit and write the notes for the upcoming allergy seminar, I think about the future upcoming topics. Since we have so many areas of veterinary medicine, I’ve decided to ask you what topics you would be interested in. Leave me your ideas in the comments here, and I’ll try to come up with presentations or handouts on those topics. I look forward to hearing what you’d like more info about.

Hey group, sorry I haven’t had a chance to take those pics on CPR yet. I haven’t forgotten so check back and I’ll try to have them set up soon. Hope you all enjoyed the seminar. I felt we had a great group in attendance.
I’ll plan to have the pics by next weekend, until then have a great day.

Today we are holding our Open House. Lots of neat displays have been made, the staff has put together wonderful pictures of some of our patients, and generally all the cool stuff will be out for show and tell. Check out the ultrasound with a chance to scan, look inside a pepper with the endoscope, see the surgery suite we use when your pet needs surgery and much more. Raffle tickets and door prizes will be given away today, and we hope you all can make it.
I’m very proud of the Whitney crew as they have really worked hard to make this a wonderful experience for attendees. Our goal is to allow behind the scenes access and a chance to see some of the technology used to help us keep pets healthy and happy.
Its a lovely day and I hope everyone can attend. I’ll post some pictures after the event.

Well, this week’s arthritis seminar seems to have been a success. I hope everyone who attended learned something new that could be used to enhance their buddy’s life. Our next seminar will be on pet first aid. I expect for it to fill up fast and spaces are limited, so sign up soon if you plan to attend.
The first aid seminar will be on May 20th, 2008 from 6 until 7:30 pm. We will cover a range of topics from the minor problems to what to do if a major problem has occurred. I hope to see you there.
If you have questions about the seminars, please feel free to call us at 309-685-4707 or 309-685-4715 and we’ll be glad to help.
Don’t forget that our Open House is coming up very soon. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

The arthritis seminar is completed and I finally finished the handout to go with it. The handout will be posted to the website in short order. Look for it in the pet health care articles section. I always feel good to have finished these projects because I’m sure that the more info we can get into the pet lovers hands the better. The arthritis seminar is full, but the next one will be held Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 from 6pm till 7:30. The next topic will be Pet First Aid. Sign up soon if you’d like to attend because seating is limited. Don’t worry if you can’t make it this time, we’ll be having one seminar a month on various topics. I think it is a great setting and allows everyone to ask questions and participate. We hold these at the Cat Clinic in the conference room. Join us if you can.
I would also like to shamelessly plug Dr Baker’s puppy socialization hour. Open to clients who have new puppies (under 4 months of age), this is a great opportunity for the puppies to come to the clinic without all the scary stuff. Plus, puppy owners can see that they are not alone- everyone has some puppy behavior problem they’d like help with.
If you have any suggestions for topics you’d like to see, add a comment here or call our office at 309-685-4707 and leave me a message. I’d be happy to hear from you!
By the way, mark your calendars, Open House is only 3 short weeks away. Come help us celebrate the human animal bond, take a tour, meet the staff and doctors, win a door prize and learn a lot. Hope to see you there!
