What is a canine or feline COHAT you might ask?

COHAT stands for Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment. It is a thorough, multi-step veterinary dental procedure performed under general anesthesia. This procedure includes an oral exam and evaluation by the veterinarian, dental radiographs, charting which involves using special tools to closely evaluate each individual tooth for disease, a thorough dental cleaning, polishing and any additional treatments considered necessary by the vet and agreed upon by you, the owner.

Follow along with RVT Denasia and her miniature dachshund โ€˜Jacksonโ€™ for a look at what a professional dog dental procedure entails!

Therapeutic laser treatment for otitis (ear infection) ๐Ÿ˜Ž

This sweet pup was recently brought in by Saving Grace Animal Society for a severe ear infection. He had 2 types of bacteria as well as white blood cells on his ear swabs (see photo under the microscope). We knew his little ears needed all the help they could get, so before applying any ear medication we gave his ears a gentle clean and then a therapeutic laser treatment. This will help take down the inflammation so that the ear meds can work better!

P.S. how adorable is he in his 'doggles'!?

Dylan is our full time veterinary assistant at our Bashaw location.

He started with us back in 2021 when he graduated from Lakeland college in Vermilion. His love for animals started when he was young growing up on a farm outside of Bashaw. Now he has cows of his own as well as two senior dachshunds Max and Roxie as well as a german shepard named Heidi. When heโ€™s not at work in the clinic you can find him spending time with his dogs and cows or enjoying the outdoors whether itโ€™s just sitting outside, enjoying the sun or hiking in the mountains when he gets the chance.

We want to introduce you to the 4 incredible people who help out in all aspects of the clinic! They do everything from cleaning surgical instruments, to assisting with surgery prep, to walking patients, to answering the phone, to running horses, to taking your pets' memorial pawprints. We would not be able to function as smoothly as we do without these 4!

Stay tuned for the rest of the week for introductions to everyone ๐Ÿ˜ธ

The importance of regular grooming and nail trims ๐Ÿ’…

Check out these before and after photos of this dog's nails. When nails become overgrown they can cause pain when walking, be at risk for catching and tearing and if left long enough they can even affect the way the dog walks.

If you are unable to trim your pets nails at home, visit a groomer or vet clinic to have them done. Sometimes medications or full sedation are needed to make that happen!
