Bay Animal Clinic would like to announce that, upon Dr. Mahler's return, Ron Farley, our past lead tech, will also be joining the staff temporarily to help in the office while we are getting “back up to speed” in the clinic. Ron was with the clinic in the 1990’s until he joined Bay St. Louis police department as the animal control officer and head reserve officer. He now resides in Chattanooga, TN on a permanent basis, but visits the coast often. Stop by and say hello to him when he starts later this week. We look forward to having him back!
