Southwestern Pet Clinic

We will be closing early to allow our employees to get home/pick up kids from school closures and get weather safe.
Please be safe out there.
We will be closing between 3-3:30 at the latest.

I tried but was sideways twice by end of my street.
Dr Cameron is in, and I’ll try again later.
Be safe!

Due to roads, we hope to be open at 9.

Itchy ears or scooting on the carpet in front of the tree is not an emergency this weekend.
Kudos to the Emergency crews!!!!

It's a holiday weekend and we are open 24/7, like always. We're 1 of only a few hospitals open at all this weekend across the state. We've seen many, many pets in the last 24 hours so we want to remind everyone - you will very likely have multi-hour wait times if your pet doesn't need CPR or isn't seizing. We want to help as many pets as possible but we do have to triage in order of most critical, any euthanasias and then by check in time.

Emergencies examples include:
1. Seizing
2. Sudden collapse
3. Bloody/smelly discharge from v***a for unspayed females
4. Trouble breathing
5. Trauma - hit by car, shot, attacked by another animal, etc
6. Not able to urinate
7. Toxicity ingestion
8. Sudden swollen/painful abdomen
9. Screaming in pain

Please be respectful to our staff who are working extremely hard to save pets this Christmas holiday! They are working as fast as they can and prioritizing the most critical patients. Keep in mind that if you are waiting to be treated, you pet is luckier than another pet who may have been rushed in for treatment and may not make it home again.

Closing noon on Wednesday-Friday for Thanksgiving.
I will be there Saturday from 9:30-11 for medication pickup.

Happiest and Spookiest of Halloween to everyone!!
We will be closing early at 3 to allow our clinic family to be with their families.

Everyone enjoy the Labor Day holiday! We will be closed Sat-Monday.

Holiday weekend approaches! Be sure to get any medication refills before noon on Friday. This also applies to any medical record copies for boarding.
We will be closed from Friday noon til Tuesday morning.
Have a great and safe weekend.

Please please do not allow cats near Lilies at all.. from ingesting to just inhaling the pollen or licking the water the lily is in is TOXIC!! As in irreversible Kidney FAILURE in less than 24 hours!! And unlike dogs, there isn’t comparable meds that can make a cat puke to help get it out of the system.
These are highly toxic!!

Hey you there!!! Ever wanted to work in a veterinary clinic??? Well now’s the time!
Now hiring for full time and part time positions.
Weekend and holidays are included in our weekly schedule.
Experience preferred, but not required.
Call 405-632-0584 or email to apply [email protected].

It’s hour 2 for the day, of the 12 hour meetings of the week.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!! But please watch out for Lillies in arrangements. Every part of the flower, including pollen and the water it’s in is DEADLY to cats!! As in Kidney failure in 24 hours.

We are closed 2 Saturdays every month to allow time with family. This is one of those Saturdays.
Hope everyone enjoys the nice weather this weekend.

Good morning,
Due to the roads and for the safety of my staff, and clients, we will have a delayed opening this morning. I will try to be in around 9, and I’ve told my staff around 10.
If you have a surgery case for this morning, we will still be taking cases, just delayed opening. If you would like to reschedule, please leave a comment here, or call office after 10. .

We will be open but it may be slightly later than 8, and have patience as we are on a skeleton crew.

Happy snow day.
We closed today at 3:30, but will be open tomorrow from 9-12.

Anyone know the saying about making plans…..
Our staff was not spared the experience of getting sick. The only positive is we all get to experience it at the same time.
So, we are closing early Thursday Dec. 29, and we will be closed til Monday January 2.
Sorry for the short notice.

Dr. Geurin and Staff

Change of plans…. I was hoping it was just bronchitis for me , but it’s more. So I’m out of office until next week…. Hopefully I’ll be back and ready to see everyone. Here’s hoping my staff stays healthy.
My staff has reached out and rescheduled those with appointments and surgeries for this week.
If your pet needs seen on emergency/sick basis …
A lot of our surrounding supporting clinics try to help out by taking 1-2 if they can.
Eastmoor
Greenbriar
Silverleaf
City Paws

If it’s emergency basis
Animal emergency center
Or
Neel vet clinic.

Thank you for understanding.
Hope everyone stays safe, healthy and have a Happy New Year.

Dr Geurin
And Staff of SWPC.

Merry Christmas. Hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We will be closed Thanksgiving weekend. We will be reopening on Monday. Everyone enjoy the break.

Just to give everyone a heads up, We will be closed Saturday October 1, AND closed Saturday October 8.

ETA: My staff helps to make all of this a possibility daily. Without that staff, those days that look flawless would be chaos. I give kudos to them. I also give a big kudos to all of my clients. I hear stories of clinics with horrible tells and I am forever grateful to the clients that put their love and trust into us.
Thank you.

I am a veterinarian.
I work long hours. I work hard hours.
My hair is often pulled back. My clothes are often dirty.
I am on the floor to take my time and make my patient feel comfortable. I am standing tall and looking you in the eyes to ensure I will take the very best care of your best friend.
I am up early mornings giving 100% of my effort to stand by my oath and do what is right in some of the most difficult decisions. I am up late nights eating dinner on the surgery table giving 100% to come up with a treatment plan when I just want to go home and lay down.
I get praised. I get yelled at.
I know what it’s like to lose your furry friend so I open my heart and pour it out to treat you how I would want to be treated. Then I put on my best smile and rinse, wash and repeat for the next room.
Day in and day out I see suffering animals. Day in and day out I stand witness to the love and bond between people and their pets.
Sometimes I have to deliver good news. Sometimes I have to deliver bad news.
Sometimes I have to convince you to do diagnostics that you don’t think are necessary just so I can do my job.
Sometimes you don’t want to pay and I have to use my detective skills and still try and do the best medicine.
Sometimes you give me the reins and ask me to do anything in my power to save your pet when there is nothing left for me to do but pray.
Sometimes I have to take a deep breath at the surgery table and tell myself that I am capable.
Sometimes I walk out of the clinic feeling like a hero.
I am putting my feelings aside on a daily basis to put my oath for animals first.
I am a veterinarian.
I am a community of veterinarians.
I am a community of humans doing our best for animals and their humans.

I am standing up to say not one more vet.
Be kind to your veterinarian.
We worked our whole lives to be “doctor” but before that we were human and continue to want to be.

There is a crisis in veterinary medicine. The CDC reports that male and female veterinarians commit su***de 2.1 and 3.5 times more often than the national average, respectively. The above was copied and shared from a veterinary support group by a friend and I invite you to read it. I also ask that next time you visit the vet, to be kind and maybe tell them thank you. You may end up being be the bright light on a dark day.
