It’s true! The Vet Techs are the ones that really hold down the fort at the hospital. They are running the doctors orders and doing a majority of the client communication. Techs are educated, efficient, reliable people that have dedicated their lives to taking care of our pets and other animals. They wear many hats and play a huge role in the care our pets receive. This week is national vet tech appreciation week so be sure to take a moment from your day to thank them for all they do. The work isn’t easy and it takes special kind of person to do it, enter- vet techs 💪💪💪

Funny joke or scary reality? Sometimes these types of diets can cause GI obstruction and require surgical correction which can be risky and costly. If you have a pet that likes to eat non-food items it is important to redirect that behavior to prevent a trip to the animal ER!

Lets talk kennel cough... "Kennel cough" is an umbrella term used for dogs that have either a bacterial or viral infection causing cold like symptoms.
These are the most common symptoms includecough
👉 A persistent, honk-like cough
👉 Fever
👉 Decreased appetite
👉 Decreased energy
👉 Nasal and/or ocular discharge
Just like with us many times these types of infections need to "run their coarse" if you will. In some cases the dog may develop a pneumonia which can cause difficulty breathing and may require oxygen therapy in bad cases.
Any cough persisting for more than a couple of days that is accompanied by any of the other symptoms listed (or not listed) above should be evaluated by your vet. Kennel cough can be tougher on older patients or patients with pre-existing conditions.
If your dog is coughing it is important to keep them home and away from any places that may have other dogs visiting such as dog parks and pet supply stores as these are typically contagious!

We love doing some team building with our staff! Recently during our off hours we were lucky enough to be able to partner with Happy Cat Tattoo to offer our staff the chance to come in and get some flash tattoos when they were able to before they came in for work. Thank you Happy Cat for being so awesome!

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month. Our animals can't tell us when they are in pain but if you pay close attention they may be trying to tell you something with the way they behave. Read below to learn about how your pet may change their behavior in an attempt to tell you something!

⚠️Difficulty settling down - they might pace or pant and sometimes even shake/tremor
⚠️Excessive licking or chewing of part of the body - especially if it's focused on one specific area
⚠️Increased sleep, decreased activity levels
⚠️Decreased interest in food
⚠️Hiding
⚠️Irritability - this can appear as growling more and/or no longer tolerating previously enjoyed affection
⚠️Decreased or no appetite
⚠️Apathy - depression, not wanting to do things they once enjoyed
⚠️Increased vocalization - crying out, meowing at night, barking or whining for seemingly no reason

Other ways may be more obvious such as
⚠️Limping
⚠️Difficulty with stairs
⚠️Hesitant to jump
⚠️Falling over and/or struggling to get up
⚠️Swelling with or without warmth

Anytime you notice a change in the way your pet acts it should be addressed with your veterinarian. It may be nothing but your pet could also be trying to tell you something using the only way they know how. If your vet decides your pet is in pain there are things they can do to bring comfort back and offer your pet the chance at a normal routine again.

Daisy is here to remind you that there is an extreme heat warning! She would know as she was recently treated for hyperthermia after prolonged exposure to the heat this summer. This patient was treated promptly with a plasma transfusion to prevent coagulation disorders. Daisy responded well to treatment and was discharged home to her humans.
It can take as short as 15 minutes or even less for some dogs to fall victim to the heat. We never know how they will respond to treatment and prognosis for heat stroke can be poor in most cases.
Keep outside time to a minimal and limit walking to the early morning or later hours of the day. Be sure your pet has fresh water available at all times and let a vet know if you discover your pet has had prolonged heat exposure!
