News and Announcements
Blue Ridge Animal Hospital Inc. now recommends Canine Influenza vaccinations for those dogs that will be in contact with many other dogs. This is especially important for those dogs traveling to Florida, or other places experiencing outbreaks.
If you worry about hip dysplasia, Blue Ridge Animal Hospital is one of the few hospitals offering the new Penn Hip evaluation. With this method of radiographing your dog's hips, we can give you the information you need to know concerning showing or breeding your dog when your dog is as young as 4 months of age. You no longer have to wait 2 years to get the information with the old OFA method.
Many of you know that we have coyotes in the area. Many clients have lost their cats to these predators. Please try to keep your cats from roaming loose; they are members of you family and their loss can be devastating.
Finally, rabies is in the area. The recent rabid fox found in Black Mountain is a reminder that all dogs and cats need to be vaccinated against this deadly disease. Also remember, if your pet is involved with an animal that may be rabid, your pet must get a rabies vaccine booster within 72 hours of the altercation.

Newer vaccines are available to protect against feline leukemia virus infection, feline infectious peritonitis virus and other infections (chlamydia, feline bordetella, ringworm).
