Tiger-Lily the two headed black rat snake came in for her yearly exam yesterday with Dr. Zacharias. She is a very sweet snake.

If you would like to see her in person she is housed at the Shepherd of the Hills Conservation Center in Branson, Missouri.

Pets can overheat quickly, especially during warm weather. Acting quickly can make a big difference in keeping your pet safe.

If you notice any of these signs, move your pet to a cool area and contact your veterinarian right away. https://gallowayvet.com/contact/

Pets can’t tell us when something feels wrong, but their behavior often gives us clues.

If you notice changes like loss of appetite, unusual lethargy, vomiting or diarrhea, increased thirst or urination, or sudden behavior changes, it may be time to schedule a visit with your veterinarian.

Early care can make a big difference in your pet’s health.

Today we honor the heroes who gave everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸 Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Pets come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities, but they all bring something special into our lives. Take a moment to appreciate the unique personality that makes your pet one of a kind. 🐰🐍🐾

For many rescue dogs, feeling comfortable in a new home takes time. Those little milestones—like tail wags, playful zoomies, and cuddles—are big signs they’re starting to feel safe.

If you’ve adopted a rescue dog, you know how special those moments can be.

Your pet’s dental health is an important part of their overall wellness. 🐾

Dental disease is one of the most common conditions seen in pets, and it can lead to pain, infection, and even affect other organs if left untreated.

Regular dental checkups and cleanings help keep your pet comfortable and healthy for years to come. ✨

Assessing your pet’s quality of life can help guide important care decisions. While every pet is different, here are a few things veterinarians often look at:

• Comfort – Are they experiencing pain or discomfort?

• Appetite & Hydration – Are they still eating and drinking normally?

• Mobility – Can they move around and enjoy daily activities?

• Happiness – Are they still engaging with you and their environment?

If you ever have concerns about your pet’s quality of life, please reach out. We’re here to support you and your pet every step of the way. https://gallowayvet.com/senior-pet-care-springfield-mo/
