Veterinary friends: this video we’ve created for you to share with your clients is a love letter from us to you. We’ve watched in awe and gratitude for the past 6 months as you all have given everything you’ve got - and then some - to care for your community’s pets in the face of a pandemic.
We hope this video will help you share your story with your clients, so they can better understand and appreciate the unprecedented challenges you’ve faced and how they may have affected their recent experiences with your practice. Most importantly, it reinforces that while some of your approaches may have changed, your commitment to your patients hasn’t wavered.
Thank you for everything you do, every single day.
- Your friends at VINx 😊

Today is the 1st Day of Fall! 🍁 As temperatures start to get cooler, animals will seek shelter in non ideal locations. We understand that people don’t want mice, snakes, lizards..in their home. However, please NEVER use sticky traps or rodenticides. They are inhumane and the animal suffers a slow and painful death. Instead use live traps, ultrasonic repellers, and unpleasant scents. Just a friendly reminder that we share this planet with our animal friends. #coexistpeacefully
Other humane options but not limited to the following:
*Peppermint Oil
*Steel Wool
*Rodent Repellent sprays sold online
*Irish Spring bars cut up
*Rolling Log Mouse Traps (no water)
*Catch & Release Mouse Traps
Today is a sad day at NEAMC. Our friend and co-worker, Lisa Cliff passed away unexpectedly this weekend. She was a valued and respected technician in our ER department. Her laughter and kindness will be missed. 💔

#NationalChocolateDay 🍫 is one of the sweetest days of the year for humans. For your pet (especially your dog), it can be one of the most dangerous.
Chocolate toxicity is one of the most commonly treated toxicities in dogs, especially during the upcoming holiday season. Here's a look at which types of chocolate are the most toxic. Remember, if you think your pet may have gotten into some chocolate (of any kind), it's best to contact your veterinarian immediately.
Great Halloween safety tips for your pets and if you have a lost pet, attach a Lost Pet Announcement to the candy for maximum attention. Stay Safe!!
Wildlife LOVE pumpkins! If the pumpkins are unpainted, throw them in a safe place where the wildlife can enjoy it!

We are very excited to announce a new team member in a newly created position to the NEAMC family...introducing Julie Salazar, CVT, VTS-ECC!! Julie started today as our Veterinary Technician Manager. With her leadership experience, technician skills and desire to mentor and train, she is a welcome addition to our team!!! Welcome Julie!!!
Thanksgiving is almost here! While we’re excited about the delicious feast, it’s important to understand which foods are toxic for pets. Keep your cats and dogs away from:
Stuffing – as it may contain onions or garlic
Ham and other Pork – can cause pancreatitis, upset stomach or diarrhea
Turkey Bones – splinters may cause indigestion or bowel obstruction
Mashed Potatoes – may have been prepared with butter and milk Salads with Grapes/Raisins – can cause kidney failure
Chocolate Desserts – toxic to both cats and dogs
If your pet does ingest any of these foods, call your veterinarian or NEAMC immediately. "We're here when you need us"

Merry Christmas from Waylon

Toys are important to your pet’s wellbeing; they provide entertainment and comfort. As pets play with any object they can get their paws on, ensure their safety. 🐾 · Pet-proof your home by removing string, ribbon, rubber bands and children’s toys from their reach. · If you’re planning on buying them a new toy, make sure it’s the appropriate size. Toys that are too small can easily be swallowed or become lodged in your pet’s throat. · Make sure to discard toys when they start to break or are torn.
Let's hear what they'd be!! Lol
New Year’s Eve celebrations may include loud noises; which can be terrifying for pets and may cause them to escape and become lost. Here are some ways to help keep them safe.
✔️ Secure pets in a comfy place indoors
✔️ Make sure all pets have ID tags
✔️ Keep alcohol out of paws reach
PLUS beware of NYE decorations like streamers, noisemakers, tinsel, and balloons. Keep them away from pets to avoid ingestion.
Best year ever Buddy!....share a photo of your #1 fan!! #perspective. 😊🥰❤🐈🐩🐈🐇🦜🐢🐦🐤🦎
Does your pet have dry, itchy, or flaking skin that’s making them uncomfortable? This can often be prevented with a high-quality diet, parasite preventatives, regular grooming, and supplements. If they’re still suffering despite your best efforts, consider taking them to your veterinarian. Here’s more information below
👉 Potential causes:
Food or environmental allergies, parasites, bacterial or fungal infections, systemic disorders, cold weather, poor nutrition, or bathing habits.
👉 Treatment:
Treatment depends on the cause, therefore it’s best to see your veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis.
If you feed your pet certain Sportmix Pet Food, stop feeding it and check the lot number. Some of the Sportmix Pet Food may contain potentially fatal levels of aflatoxin. Pets experiencing aflatoxin poisoning may have symptoms such as sluggishness, loss of appetite, vomiting, jaundice (yellowish tint to the eyes or gums due to liver damage) and/or diarrhea. In severe cases, this toxicity can be fatal. In some cases, pets may suffer liver damage but not show any symptoms. If your pet is suffering from any of the symptoms call your veterinarian or bring them to the ER immediately.

We loved being a part of Mollys journey! 💓 She was found by a good Samaritan and taken to Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River.. Her eye was severely infected and had prolapsed. Dr. Fernandez assessed her eye and determined that it could not be saved. So, the decision was made to remove it. Look at her now! Eating, cuddling and making biscuits!! Check out the Forever Paws Facebook page to see her before photos and checkout the wonderful work they do to save precious lives. Thank you Forever Paws!!

*** Molly Update***
As you can see, Molly looks amazing! Her swelling is almost completely down, she is eating and drinking and doing a lot of sleeping. She was seen at Pet Partners yesterday and she is exactly where she needs to be in her recovery. Our goal rig this is for her to continue to heal, she needs to put some weight on and learn how to be a kitten. We have high hopes for her and are so grateful for the excellent care she received at New England Animal Medical Center.Thank you for all your support and donations. She wouldn’t be where she is without all of you!
We've added to the NEAMC family again!! So happy to introduce Brielle Lynn who was born on Jan. 16, 2021 at 5:04am to the proud parents of Dr. Melanie McNerney, one of our ER doctors, and her husband Randall. We couldn't be more excited for her and her family!! Congratulations!!!❤️❤️🥰🎉🎊🧸🍼
It is with a touch of sadness but also with great pride and admiration that we announce the retirement of Dr. Chris Walker from his role here at NEAMC. He has earned this life’s milestone as he has been with NEAMC since 1980. We celebrate his 40 years of dedication and service to NEAMC, and to the families and pets of West Bridgewater (and surrounding community).
His skill, medicine, and humor are irreplaceable; however, we all know that he is in great hands enjoying the wonderful life he has created with his beautiful wife Rose while spending his days relaxing and fly-fishing. When we are able to open our doors again, we will have a proper retirement celebration!
Happy Retirement Dr. Walker!!!❤😊
Here are some faces that we've seen this past week that are just soooo cute we had to share their photos!🥰😍❤️

Yes, our Emergency Department is OPEN 24/7/365. Even during Nor'Easters! Due to an increase in emergency cases, and potentially long wait times, please call ahead at 508-584-1600, option 2. We are still curbside and you must wear your mask. Please be safe!!
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you may be getting ready to spend time with your loved one. It’s important not to forget about your pet too. Make sure they’re safe by keeping them away from:
🌟 Lilies as they’re highly toxic to cats
🌹 Roses as ingesting a thorn can puncture their paws or throat
🍫 Chocolate and lollies are toxic to both cats and dogs
🍷 Wine, cocktails and beer can cause serious harm to their tiny stomachs and internal systems
🎁 Gift wrapping can be hazardous if chewed or swallowed
🕯 Candles should be avoided in case they burn their paws on the wax or flame.
While Tommy's working hard to win today, be sure to keep these foods away from your pets...."We're here when you need us!"🏈🏈👨⚕️👩⚕️

New England Animal Medical Center has been using Seresto collars for years. We still believe Seresto collars are safe and effective, and many of our doctors and staff continue to use these collars as part of their approach to tick control. Lyme disease and other tick diseases have a high prevalence in our area, and animals with exposure to the outside should be protected, in some way, from ticks.
Please read the following information from Elanco the manufacturer of the Seresto collars. As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure strong client-patient relationships, we want you, the client, to be comfortable with the choices you make to treat your pets, therefore If you have any questions or would like to talk about alternative tick control options, please call the primary care department to discuss this further. The primary care department is open from 8-8 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and from 8 to 4 on Friday and Saturday.
Do your research and speak to your veterinarian before deciding to feed a grain free food to your pets...It's not always the best option for them.
