Exotic Pet of the Week

Ryuk (left, gray) and Kamikaze (right, green) are a couple of very sweet, young budgies (parakeets) who came to see us recently for their first well-bird veterinary visit. They came from a breeder in Ohio (Cute Little Birdies Aviary)–as in yes, the owners drove all the way to Ohio and back for… Read more

Exotic Pet of the Week

This beautiful bird is Beaker. She’s about 9 weeks old in this picture–just a baby! Beaker is a yellow lutino cockatiel. It can be hard (impossible!) to tell male from female so we had her sexed, and that’s how we know she’s female (we do a  simple blood test). She’s a neat bird with a very… Read more

Cute Puppy of the Week

“Happiness is a warm puppy.” –Charles Schulz There was a lot of happiness around here when the Olathe Animal Hospital family welcomed Ellen Lash’s new puppy, Scooter, on Tues. Nov. 2nd. You may have seen the “In Memoriam” post for Maggie in August, and while Scooter can never replace such an… Read more

Exotic Pet of the Week

There’s no denying it–baby hedgehogs are the cutest thing ever! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting baby Ashley, a hedgehog adopted from Hedgehog Valley.

Dentistry Spotlight

Biggie is a 10-year old cat, adopted about 5 years ago. Dr. Peuser examined her because her owners were concerned about a patch of hair loss on her back, which she licked excessively. When he looked in her mouth, he could see some serious problems with her teeth. As it turned out, Biggie had… Read more

Exotic Pet of the Week

This little cutie is Zoe! She’s a ferret, about 6 months old, who came in for her first wellness check-up recently. Zoe’s owners have another ferret, Addie, who was previously treated for ear mites, so they knew the importance of getting Zoe checked out. Zoe also has ear mites, so we cleaned her… Read more

Cute Kittens of the Week

This adorable feline duo is Tulip (left) and Tux (all black, of course)! They are brother and sister and just recently turned 5 months old. They’re as happy and healthy as two kittens should be, and it has been so fun watching them grow up before our… Read more

Senior Pet of the Week

Hank would rather be featured as one of our “Cute Puppies of the Week”, but at 10 years of age, we thought he’d be a great role model for our Senior Pet of the Week! Maybe we should rename it “Mature Active Pet of the Week” but that just sounds silly. In any case, he is one handsome boy and a true… Read more
