North Austin Animal Hospital

Howdy Yall!
Four Fabulous Foster Kittens Ready for their Furrever Homes! One of our longtime clients is fostering these adorable little ones for Austin Animal Center. As of June 30, they will be about 3 months old, spayed/neutered. and ready to find their purrfect homes.

Izzy Iris is a super cuddly medium haired Caliby (calico tabby!). She purrs the minute we pick her up!
Dolly Daffodil is the other medium hair. She's a darker tabby with a daredevil personality, always into adventures.
Betsy Begonia is the short hair tabby with a polka dot white belly. She loves to follow her people around the house.
Lewis Larkspur is the spoiled only brother. He's a gorgeous orange tabby with striking green eyes.

These kittens are super playful, friendly, & litter box trained. They can be adopted in pairs or as singles. Adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery, microchip, shots and FeLV test. You can reach the foster family at [email protected] or text at 512-423-5977 to learn more and discuss next steps. Please feel free to share this post!

Howdy y’all! Animals love to have fun in the sun but we owners need to make sure we beat the heat for them!

With temperatures at a record high in the good old Austin Texas we have some things to keep in mind over the following weeks!

Walk your babies early in the morning and later in the evening, and DON’T leave them unattended in any yard or park.

Check the sidewalk! If you can’t comfortably keep your hands on it for 10 seconds, neither can your pet!

Keep water close by! This is not the time of year for hikes with your babies! They need AC in close proximity to stay safe. Dehydration happens QUICK in our furry friends without a cool place to rest and rehydrate.

Heatstroke!
• Early symptoms of heatstroke include difficulty breathing, excessive panting, drooling, mild weakness or stupor.
• Severe symptoms can include collapsing, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea and a body temperature of over 104 degrees.
• If you see symptoms of heatstroke immediately contact our office (http://512.459.7676) or your nearest emergency room.
• Flat-faced breeds are even more prone to heatstroke. [Persian cats, Pugs and Bulldogs for example]

Walking Safety!
• Protect paw pads from burning! Asphalt can reach 125 degrees Fahrenheit on a 77 degree day!
• If the asphalt is hot, have pets walk on the grass or keep that walk short.
• Also, remember that shorter breeds of dogs will heat up quicker closer to asphalt or hot sand, putting them at greater risk of Heatstroke!

Firework Fear and Bonfire Burn Injuries
• Be extremely cautious about having pets around fireworks! Better yet, keep them safe at home and indoors if fireworks are to be used.
• Many pets go MISSING this time of year due to fear of loud noises and lack of identification
• You can contact us for Fear Free medications to help make the 4th of July less stressful! Now is the time to contact your vet!
• A quiet, escape-proof, enclosed area of your home is best. Your pet will thank you.
• Make sure your pet has a microchip or a collar on the 4th of July!

Remember to take your pet to an emergency hospital if they seem lethargic, painful, are showing any symptoms of heat stroke, or are collapsing.
Keep them hydrated and cool!

We will be closed July 4th and will resume normal hours on July 5th.

Wishing you a safe and fun filled Independence Day from our babies to you and yours!

Good Morning ! From our newest friend Seamus !! Let’s give him a big welcome 💗

Hi I’m Hercules!
I’m here to let you know a couple things this Friday and Saturday we are open normal business hours ! Secondly our Photo Booth is up so take a selfie when you stop by !!
Thank you

We had a Good Samaritan drop these 2 dogs with us today. She was out walking and these 2 followed her with her dog. She walked to the hospital with them and left while we were checking for microchips. Unfortunately they are not chipped nor do we have details of exactly where these guys started following her. We have posted on next door and made a found pet report with 311. We are currently contacting the shelter to see if we can take them there. If you know these dogs please give us a call at the hospital 512-459-7676. Please share!

Hello all! We don’t have power at the clinic so we won’t be able to see any appointments today. We will hopefully be back Friday morning. Stay safe!

Good morning. Unfortunately as of Thursday 2/2 the hospital has been out of power for 24 hours. We are monitoring the situation and will open the hospital as soon as power is restored. We are hoping by 12p today. Please check our social media for the latest updates.

Dr. Heppner, Dr. Tomlin and our tech Chelsea will be apart of this. Anything will help! Please share if you can! Thank you
