Emanuel Quinones
Meet Manny one of our amazing front desk team members! He is originally from Connecticut and has lived in Myrtle Beach for 5 months now. Manny has 10 pets in total; Two cats, three ferrets, two bunnies, two sugar gliders and a hermit crab!! By the time this is written and posted there may even be more. He enjoys going to the beach and avoiding bees at all costs. Manny’s favorite part of the veterinarian field is being there for each client even if that just means being present and able to make them smile. He also loves witnessing the miracles and care that the doctors and nurses accomplish each day with every patient. Next time you stop in, say hello and send a huge smile his way.


Ralphie
Ralphie is the newest edition to River Oaks Animal Hospital and was actually born here. His mother was scheduled to be spayed but it was discovered that she was VERY pregnant and so Dr. Heather decided to take care of her until she delivered. Ralphie is very attached to Sofia and they play all the time. He is also fond of kids and can be found stalking outside of the exam room doors if he hears them. He doesn’t have any official duties because he isn’t quite old enough for the responsibilities. You can usually find him “helping” out in the treatment room with the HealthCare Nurses.


Newman and Kramer
Newman and Kramer are Dumpy Tree Frogs, also known as White’s Tree Frog. They are arboreal frogs, meaning they like to live in the trees. This type of frog actually come from Australia but these two were captive bred so they were not taken from the wild. They are definitely use to room service and not so sure they would appreciate having to hunt for their food instead of ordering in. As the two age they will start to look chubby, this is normal and expected. Why can’t that be normal for us?
