September is Responsible Dog Ownership Month, so Kayla and Mark are here to talk a little about what responsible dog ownership is to them!

She discusses things like finding the dog that matches your lifestyle, providing proper veterinary care, and the importance of training, socialization, and mental stimulation, but there is so much more to being a responsible dog owner.

We would love to hear what you think makes a responsible dog owner!

Sunday was Pet Birth Defect Awareness Day as well as Pet Memorial Day. 💖🪲
Congenital deformities can be devastating. Although animals are incredibly resilient and can adapt to many things, sometimes defects can be too severe to be compatible with life.
This is why it is so important to always do genetic testing before breeding any animal. We want to do everything we can to help prevent issues that can arise, including behavior issues, congenital defects, and more.
Here at FVC, we love your babies no matter what they look like or what makes them different. Every animal deserves love, compassion, and the best quality of life we can give them.
Please share any babies you have who are different, or even share the babies you have lost, in honor of Pet Memorial Day and Pet Birth Defect Awareness Day.

❤️‍🩹 September is Animal Pain Awareness Month ❤️‍🩹

Our pets can’t tell us when something hurts, and they often hide pain surprisingly well. That’s why knowing the subtle signs can make such a difference, especially as our dogs and cats get older.

This month, we’re encouraging pet parents to watch for changes in:
🐾 Activity and playfulness
🐾 Mobility and willingness to use stairs
🐾 Jumping and climbing
🐾 Appetite
🐾 Grooming or excessive licking of one area
🐾 Difficulty getting up or settling down

These changes can be easy to dismiss as “just getting older,” but pain doesn’t have to be a normal part of aging. Early recognition and treatment can help your pet stay comfortable and maintain a better quality of life.

Our veterinarian, Dr. Rachel Hill, has a special interest in senior pet pain management and helping older pets enjoy their golden years as comfortably as possible. At FVC, we believe in multi-modal pain management, combining different therapies and treatments to address your pet’s unique needs. Finding the right combination may take some trial and adjustment, but our goal is to find a personalized plan that keeps your pet as comfortable and active as possible.

If you’ve noticed changes in your pet’s mobility, activity, appetite, or behavior, give us a call. We’re here to help!

Our Last Bugdate

Hey everyone, this is Bug’s foster mom… I had to make one of the most difficult decisions last week.

After Bug’s appointment at Mizzou and his CSF tap, he was doing so well — seizure-free, making biscuits, play biting, purring, being a sassy boy, and having a ravenous appetite.

About a week later, Bug slowly started to decline. He began having respiratory issues, hyper-salivating, and couldn’t hold his head up. He wasn’t purring or playing anymore, but he was still our resilient little boy.

I tried to get him somewhere that could perform another CSF tap and relieve the pressure on his brain. Bug had an appointment at LSU on the 8th, the soonest they could get him in. Mizzou told us his cerebellum was affected and they didn’t think he would ever walk. They had concerns about his quality of life, but I wasn’t ready to give up without exploring every possible option.

I spoke to multiple neurologists to try and find another answer or even the smallest chance of helping him. After hearing how incredibly low the chances were that another CSF tap or further intervention would actually work, I had to make the difficult decision to let Bug go.

In this field, you have to be their voice, even when it hurts. I didn’t want his last days filled with suffering just because I wasn’t ready.

So, on 8/14, I made the decision no one ever wants to make. I let my Buggie go.

He made a difference. He showed everyone what resilience looks like and that being different doesn’t make you any less deserving of love or a life.

I love you, Bug. Gone, but never forgotten.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in Bug and seeing what we saw in him. Having a disability, being different, or needing extra care doesn’t make an animal any less deserving of life.

Dr. Hill, thank you for believing in him, advocating for him, and always giving us the honest truth about his condition, even when it was incredibly difficult to hear.

Whether you donated, commented, liked, shared, prayed, followed his story, or simply stopped to see what this little boy was all about, you were part of Bug’s journey. Thank you for loving our Buggie.

Love, FVC 💙

The rumors are true: Bug got a haircut ✂️🐾 🐾 Community Cat Support Network 😺

On a more serious note, thank you all for the incredible support you’ve shown our little guy. Because of your donations, Bug was able to receive advanced diagnostics and specialty emergency care at Mizzou, including an MRI, lab work, and a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tap.

Bug’s testing suggested that in addition to his hydrocephalus, he may also be battling a second condition, most likely bacterial meningitis or FIP. For the moment, we’re in a bit of a waiting game. We’re monitoring how he responds to treatment for the bacterial infection while consulting with neurology specialists to gather as many expert opinions as possible.

The good news is that since returning home, Bug has been seizure-free, eating like a champ, and making up for lost time with plenty of clinic naps, snuggles, and biscuits.

We still don’t know exactly what the future holds, but we’re grateful to have more information than we did before, and we’re committed to giving Bug the best chance possible.

Thank you for continuing to cheer him on! We’ll keep everyone updated as we learn more 💚🪲
