Long time, no write

Been a while since I wrote anything. Things have just been really busy.

In addition to working at my General Practice, been working on the new building for the veterinary ER in Concord, NH. We needed to obtain a lot of permits and put together a Business Plan for the banks and SBA. We hope to be breaking ground by the end of December. More later.

I also spent a lot of time studying for my Avian Specialty boards. I did pass the Practical part of the examination but not the Clinical part. There were a fair amount of questions concerning ostriches and the like which I do not see in my practice. At least I know the parts I need to study more on for the retake examination in November 2008.

Dr. Barlow continues to expand her Behavioral counseling services. Behavioral issues in pets are a large part of a General Practice. In the U.S., the number one reason pets are surrendered to shelters are behavioral issues such as inappropriate urination, inappropriate defecation and aggression. Hopefully by addressing these issues early in the pet's life, we can keep the pet being a valued family member. If you have any behavioral questions, please feel free to contact the office at 603-529-4999 to set up a consult with Dr. Barlow.

This time of the year, we do a lot of traveling. Good tips are here.

Winter tips are here.

The Staff, Dr. Barlow and I wish all of you Happy Holidays!
