Family Pet Hospital!

Dr. Skees has been a practicing veterinarian for over thirty years, starting out as a mobile practitioner, seeing all species of animals, and dealing with all kinds of clients. Following advanced training at Colorado State University, Dr. Skees was offered a position on staff at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Due to the tremendous advancements in veterinary medicine, and the difficulty in staying completely up to date on every species of animal, Dr. Skees has become more and more specialized, limiting his practice to just small animals, i.e., The Family Pet.

The staff at Family Pet Hospital realizes that your pet is very much a cherished family member to you and we consider them a part of our family too. We will treat each client (pet and owner) with respect and dignity. We offer many services from routine annual immunizations to surgeries for your cats and dogs. We promise to give the best treatment possible for your pet.

We encourage our patients to stick to your regular check up schedule but knowing we are all busy and sometimes just forget or get behind, we understand... just call us and we will get you up to date. We want you and your pet to have a long and healthy life together.

FDA expands recall list, adds more pet-food products

Jan 28, 2009

DVM NEWSMAGAZINE

Rockville, Md. -- The list of recalled products containing peanut derivatives, compiled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has grown over the last few days, with seven additional pet-food products being added. The FDA confirmed through testing that the source for the Salmonella typhimurium outbreak is a Blakely, Ga., plant owned by the Peanut Corp. of America (PCA).

No pets have been reported ill, the FDA says, but many humans have been affected.

The recall list will be updated as the investigation continues. The FDA advises pet owners to wash their hands with hot water and soap before and after handling pet foods and treats. Pet-food bowls and utensils also should also be washed after each use. Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Some show signs of decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Well animals can be carriers. Anyone with a pet that consumed a recalled product and has these symptoms should contact a veterinarian.

A full list of recalled peanut-butter or paste products, including pet foods, can be found here:
