Happy 2023 to everyone!  

For the next several months (likely until April), we are asking all clients to wear a mask when inside the hospital.  Even if you are fully vaccinated, we are asking you to mask because I am undergoing chemotherapy and need to avoid any infectious diseases while I am immunocompromised.  I will continue to work my normal schedule of appointments and surgery, but I will be unavailable one day a week while I undergo my own treatments.  Occasionally we will need to adjust appointments, so please be patient with my staff if you are asked to change appointment times.  This is a difficult time for our staff, so please be kind to them.  We are also currently not accepting new clients. We will definitely see new patients of our existing clients. 

Thank-you for all the cards of support and well wishes from everyone. My treatments are going very well, it is just a long road yet to travel.. I truly appreciate all the support from so many people.  It really made me see how many wonderful people there are in this world.

                                                                                                                                            Dr. Kropp

Please be aware we are seeing a significant increase in the number of heartworm disease cases in dogs in the past two years.  If your dog is not currently taking a monthly heartworm prevention medication, we recommend you have them tested and then start a monthly dose. The added bonus is that the heartworm  preventives also kill several gastrointestinal parasites so you are deworming your dog for those worms every month also.
