Animal and Bird Medical Center of Temple Your Veterinarian Dr Mary Carpino

Dr.Carpino & her dog Katie Important Dates:		Animal & Bird Medical Center of Temple Dr. Mary Carpino "Where we treat your pet like our own" (254) 899-8800 Animal & Bird Medical Center will be Closing as of March 16, 2011 We have enjoyed taking care of your pets these past 13 years. However, the physical demands of the job are significant, and the time is right for me to take a position that is less physically challenging. I am a "big dog" person at heart, but when our many 130 lb patients seem to weigh 180 and our one 227 lb patient seems to weight 400 lbs, it is time to make an adjustment. I will be moving out of the area, but will continue to be accessible at katie@animalandbird.com. We will be taking care of records after March 10, 2011 and will let you know the details of that as the week progresses. Please be sure we have your email. If you are not sure we have it - please send it to katie@animalandbird.com Please be patient with us as we close the clinic.	NOTE: All equipment, fixtures and supplies must go.

The Big Blue Box!

Yes, we now have Hill's Prescription Diet

Therapeutic Weight Reduction Program. Make your life easy. This has premeasured portions of both the food and the biscuit treats.

This food is low in fat, high in fiber and high in carnitine, lysine ( to help burn fat while maintaining lean muscle mass) and has added antioxidants.

	Yes, FLEAS are creepy. These fleas were obtained by taking a flea comb (fine toothed comb) and running down the back of a flea-ridden dog (yecchh). They are in a zipper-locked plastic bag and you will note they are running around in circles because they can't jump up. Look at the size of the back legs! They jump really high. They can jump from the ground onto your dog. Then they can jump onto you next if you disturb them. The only good flea is a dead flea! Click on the picture of the fleas to see the video of live (and dead) fleas. More to come.
Meet Dr. Carpino	So far, so good on the video stuff. We are working on a heartworm segment, and one on how to pill a dog and how to pill a cat. Below is our first one on which is a case you can follow. If you have any suggestions, please let us know at Katie@animalandbird.com. Remember Katie is handling our email - so please cut her some slack on typing back emails to you :-).
Gracie Day 1 Video	Gracie is a Scarlet Macaw with a severe neck injury and full body feather picking. She was donated to the clinic and so we are going to try to get her better and post update videos at various intervals.
