Red Bank Veterinary Hospital

Georgie is a patient of Dr. Magilton and our Physical Rehabilitation and Pain Management team. His foster mom Kaleigh, a veterinary student at St. George's University in Grenada, has worked tirelessly with Georgie to help him experience the joys of puppyhood even though he is dealing with hind-end paralysis. Kaleigh flew Georgie home for the summer from Grenada, where she rescued him from possible euthanasia at the Grenada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and has been bringing him to Dr. Magilton for over two months. Kaleigh says, "I feel incredibly grateful to have witnessed Georgie's growth during his time with the Red Bank Physical Rehab team. The support and expertise offered by the team have made this new journey with a paralyzed dog much more manageable and hopeful. Their commitment to providing the best possible care is truly commendable." Go Georgie Go!!!

🐔Feel Good Feathered Friday🐔 With all the humidity, who hasn't had a bad hair day lately? Cruella, a three-month-old Polish chicken has fallen victim to the heat herself with her feathers going wild! Ok, maybe the humidity has nothing to do with Cruella's wild coif, but you have to admit she has quite a head of plumes. Cruella's mom brought her in to see Dr. Rayna Moy of our Avian and Exotics Department for both a wellness visit and to have her feathers trimmed. Her vision was being obscured by the wild overgrowth and it was slowing this girl down. ✂ Cruella got a clear bill of health, a clear view of things ahead of her, and she's ready to run the coop with her new 'do.

These hot temps called for a cool treat, and our friends at Best Pet Rx provided just that for us. The team at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital enjoyed a "Best Day Ever" Ice Cream Truck, complimentary of the veterinary compounding pharmacy on Tuesday, and it was smiles all around. From frozen hot chocolate to blowing bubbles and free swag from their super-friendly rep, Rebecca, there was something for everyone. Who doesn't love a little sugar rush when that mid-afternoon slump hits?🍨

While you're having fun with family and friends this 4th of July Weekend, remember the following tips to help keep your pets safe this holiday: ⭐ Ensure your pet has up-to-date identification and microchip information in case they get scared by fireworks and run away. ⭐ As summer temperatures rise, make sure your pets have plenty of access to shade and water when outside to prevent heat stroke. ⭐ Make a cozy space for your pet inside your home while the fireworks start so they feel safe and aren’t at risk of fleeing. ⭐ Don’t allow your pets access to table scraps at cookouts including fatty foods, corn cobs, and alcohol. ⭐ Take caution when using fireworks around pets to prevent injury, and clean up any fireworks debris to prevent ingestion and burns. As a reminder, Red Bank Veterinary Hospital will be open 24/7 for the holiday weekend. 📲 (732) 747-3636 🌐 www.redbankvet.com
