🐾 Meet Porkchop — our resilient, big-hearted boy who’s ready for adoption! 🐾

Porkchop has been through more than any pup ever should. After an unfortunate incident, he lost his front leg — but what he didn’t lose was his spirit. 💪
This sweet boy still has a full 4-legged personality, overflowing with love, curiosity, and gentle affection.

✨ About Porkchop:
• Loves people and does well with kids (to the best of our knowledge)
• Crate trained ✔️
• Healing beautifully from surgery ❤️
• Would benefit from a slow, thoughtful introduction to other dogs, but we truly believe he’d warm up and thrive with the right sibling

Porkchop isn’t defined by what he’s lost — he’s defined by his resilience, his heart, and his ability to keep trusting humans. He’s ready for a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished exactly as he is.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a survivor’s soul and the sweetest eyes you’ve ever seen… Porkchop just might be your guy. 🐶💙

📩 Message us or call us (229)834-8387 to learn more about adopting Porkchop or to set up a meet & greet.
Please share to help this special boy find his forever family! 🐾✨ 🐾🐶❤️

🐶 Understanding BOAS: Why Some Frenchies, Pugs, English Bulldogs or Bostons Struggle to Breathe

If you’ve ever noticed your smush face love snoring, panting heavily, or struggling to catch their breath after a short walk — you’re not alone.
Flat-faced breeds like French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers are prone to Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) — a condition caused by their adorable (but compact) facial structure.

💨 What’s Happening Inside:
🔹 Narrow nostrils (stenotic nares) – harder to draw in air
🔹 Long soft palate – tissue that partially blocks the airway
🔹 Small windpipe – limits airflow to the lungs
🔹 Crowded nasal passages & large tongue – add even more pressure

🐾 Common Signs to Watch For:
• Loud snoring or heavy breathing (even at rest)
• Frequent panting or gagging after meals
• Struggling in heat or during play
• Fainting or collapsing
• Blue gums or tongue (low oxygen levels)

❤️ How You Can Help Your Frenchie:
✅ Keep them cool — avoid hot or humid walks
✅ Maintain a healthy weight
✅ Don’t overexert — keep play calm
✅ Schedule regular vet visits
✅ Ask your vet if surgical correction could help

We schedule our BOAS and Soft Palate Laser Resection procedures on Wednesdays, Get scheduled today! Your baby will thank you!! (229)834-8387

✨ With the right care, French Bulldogs, Pugs, English Bulldogs and Bostons with BOAS can live long, happy, and healthy lives — full of cuddles, naps, and snorts of joy.

📍At Valdosta Veterinary Associates, we’re here to help your flat-faced friends breathe easy.
Let’s spread awareness so every smush face can live their best life! 🐾💕

Today is ER Doctor Appreciation Day.

This work is messy. It’s relentless. It leaves marks you don’t always see.

Being an ER veterinarian means living in a world where seconds matter. Where you run toward the emergencies instead of away from them. Where you carry the knowledge that no matter how hard you fight, not every patient goes home. That weight doesn’t disappear when the shift ends.

It means sitting with families in their worst moments, holding their heartbreak in your hands, and somehow still finding words. It means saying “I don’t know” more often than we’d like, and still walking into the next exam room to try again.

There are nights the drive home is spent replaying every choice, every “what if.” Nights when the silence after losing a patient feels heavier than all the alarms that came before it. And still, the next shift comes, and they walk back in—because animals need us, and because this is where they are meant to be.

They are not a superhero. They are human. They miss their family. They second-guess themselves. They get tired. And they are deeply proud of this work, not because it’s glamorous, but because in the middle of chaos, they get to stand with pets and families when they need it most.

Today isn’t just about appreciation. It’s about acknowledgment—that this work is hard, it’s human, and it matters.

To all the ER veterinarians, may today be the rare shift where the coffee is hot, the patients are stable, and not a single client argues with “Dr. Google.”

Thank you to our wonderful ER Veterinarians!! If you know them you LOVE them, so show them some LOVE today!!
