House Calls for Pets 2020
A Celebration:
In Search of Compassionate Care


Senior Dog and Cat-Unconditional Love


Dr. DeForge offers to his clients both the traditional animal hospital setting at Silver Sands Veterinary in Milford, Ct.  [www.SilverSandsVeterinary.com] and our NEW Silver Sands Veterinary House Calls for Pets. Our animal hospital has been serving the greater Milford area for over 40 years.  Our NEW Mobile practice augments our traditional on-site veterinary hospital. 

Our brick and mortar state of the art veterinary hospital offers Preventive Medicine [vaccines and routine blood screening]; Physical Exams and Wellness Exams for Healthy Patients; Sick Patient exams; Full Diagnostic Testing; Digital Whole Body X-ray and Oral X-ray; Cardiology and Radiology Telemedicine; Visiting Specialists in Radiology, Internal Medicine, and Surgery; Comprehensive Oral Radiology Evaluation and treatment [Dr. DeForge is the only Fellow of the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry in the greater Milford area]; and Urgent Care.  

Urgent Care is for patients that do not need 24/7 monitoring in an ER Center.  There are a plethora of emergencies that fall under Urgent Care.  Urgent Care with Dr. DeForge will help your pet and yourself with expedited care with no long waiting that commonly occurs in a 24/7 ER Center.  In life threatening emergencies that need 24/7 care, Dr. DeForge will direct you to the nearest 24/7 ER Center.

NEW!
Silver Sands House Calls for Pets
Celebrates its One Year Anniversary

Dr. DeForge and his nurses announce the One Year Anniversary of Silver Sands Veterinary House Calls for Pets.

This new service at Silver Sands Veterinary has has multi-purposes:

#1--Helping those dogs and cats that are very nervous and anxious in the traditional veterinary hospital!

#2--Helping the Senior Pet owner that can no longer bring their pets to a traditional veterinary hospital

#3--Helping the handicapped who need assistance within their homes

#4--Giving free time to the pet owner who cannot find the hours to dedicate to visiting a traditional veterinary hospital

With Silver Sands House Calls for Pets, your pets can relax in the confines of their homes while Dr. DeForge and his nurses attend to their preventive care [Physical Exams-Vaccines-Routine Blood Testing]  etc.

The House Call visit can also help the sick patient with testing and triage to identify the cause of their illness.

What can be done during a House Call Visit:

Comprehensive Wellness and Sick Patient Health Exams

Telemedicine EKG's

Advanced Chemistry Profiles and CBC's


Urinalysis


Heartworm and Tick Serology in dogs


In the cat, Leukemia Testing; Immunodeficiency Virus Testing and Bartonella Testing [a zoonosis]

It is recommended to have all sick patients have Fecal Examinations to check for intestinal parasites.


If the illness is beyond the scope of mobile care, the pet advocate can transport to our brick and mortar traditional veterinary hospital, Silver Sands Veterinary, for additional testing.  Referral to a specialist is another option.

Compassionate Care: yesterday, today, and tomorrow are hallmarks at Silver Sands Veterinary and Silver Sands House Calls for Pets

Human medicine, veterinary medicine, and other allied medical fields have reached epic levels of sophistication and specialization.  This has led to an emphasis in science; technology, and economics with a loss of compassion and empathy. 

Silver Sands Veterinary and our NEW House Call Practice are both compassion-centered!

The nurses bring love and understanding to each patient.  This calms the patient and allows examinations and testing with minimal stress.

Leadership compassion is the WONDER of the HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND.  It is derived from
mono-tasking and focus tasking.  With this emphasis, the health care professional can open their eyes to the needs of their patients.  

Dr DeForge truly believes, and has personally demonstrated over the years, that compassionate care along with compassionate care nursing can lead to expedited recovery from complicated medical and surgical problems.

One of the advantages of or our House Call practice is decreasing stress levels in many patients.  Stress in people and animals is a significant co-morbidity that can advance other medical problems already present in your pet.  This has been shown to be the case in Chronic Interstitial Cystitis in cats as described by Dr. Tony Buffington at the Ohio State University School of Veterinary Medicine.

Our nurses, simply stated, seem to become more sensitive to their patient's suffering.  This is challenging to them emotionally.  That challenge is handled by approaching each pet..... that is ill..... with caring and wanting to help!

The nurses bring unconditional love back to the companion animal who has spent their entire life giving unconditional love to their pet advocate.  Each nurse's approach to compassionate care strengthens the compassion of all co-workers in the health care team.

I encourage readers of this blog to read a book by Kathy Nimmer-Two Plus Four Equals One-Celebrating the Partnerships of People with Disabilities and their Service Dogs. Kathy became blind at a young age and has dedicated her life to making a difference. She has earned a Bachelors and Masters Degree in English from Purdue University.  She is a avid writer, poet, pianist, and motivational speaker.  She competed as a gymnast in two national championships for the blind.  She mentors sighted and blind individuals entering the education field.  Nimmer lives deeply, soaring and plunging through the heights and depths of life; keeping hope as her eternal guide.  

I teach my nurses that Love and Hope are the building blocks of Compassion and Empathy!

With this in mind, no patient is left behind!  Pain is removed; quality of life is restored; and recovery is expedient.  All of life is a journey and not a destination. Those who feel they know their destination can be greatly disappointed. 

The journey of Love and Hope is the journey we should all seek!  Living within the journey will allow us to accept that helping others only makes us stronger.  As we continue to grow, we can freely share compassion and empathy with every person and companion animal that we are honored to greet, support, and treat as caregiver.
