September is Pet Pain Awareness Month!

Our pets feel pain just like we do but often goes unnoticed and untreated because they do not show pain like we do. We sometimes have to watch for subtle changes in body language and behavior. Our feline friends are especially masters at hiding their pain. Here are a few things we can be on the look out for. If you are noticing these signs in your pet, they should be seen by a veterinarian so we can help your pet feel better. 🐶🐱

As an urgent care, we act as the middle ground between your primary veterinarian and 24-emergency hospitals. Our experienced veterinarians and licensed veterinary technicians are highly qualified to provide out-patient care for pets that need to be treated right away but are not emergencies. Our convenient hours provide owners peace of mind, rather than having to worry about their pet’s condition through the night or weekend, when your primary veterinarian may not be able to see them.

We wanted to bring awareness to a common emergency seen in female animals who are not spayed. It is called a pyometra and if left untreated can be fatal to your pet.

A pyometra is an abscessed, pus-filled infected uterus. Toxins and bacteria leak across the uterine walls and into the bloodstream, causing life-threatening toxic effects. The uterus dies, releasing large amounts of pus and dead tissue into the abdomen. Without treatment this is fatal. Prevention of this disease is one of the main reasons for routinely spaying female dogs.

Some symptoms include:
Lethargy, excessive drinking, not wanting to eat, and in some cases a bloody discharge.

Treatment is immediate surgery to remove the infected uterus.

If you notice your intact female dog or cat displaying any of these signs, it should be considered an emergency and should been seen right away.
