🐾 Lupoid Onychodystrophy (SLO): More Than a Broken Nail 🐾

If your dog has brittle, cracked, or painful nails that break easily, it could be Lupoid Onychodystrophy —an immune-mediated condition that affects the nails.

⚠️ Signs include:
• Broken or misshapen nails
• Bleeding or painful nail beds
• Limping or excessive paw licking
• Multiple nails affected over time

While there is no cure, early diagnosis and treatment can help manage pain, improve nail health, and keep your dog comfortable.

If your dog's nails seem unusually fragile or painful, schedule an exam with your veterinarian.

🐾 What color are your pet’s gums? 🐶🐱

Did you know your pet’s gums can provide important clues about their overall health? Healthy gums are typically pink, moist, and smooth—but changes in color can sometimes signal a problem.

🔎 Pale or white gums may be associated with anemia or blood loss.
🔴 Bright or dark red gums can be seen with inflammation, infection, pain, or other serious conditions.
💙 Blue or purple gums can indicate a lack of oxygen and should be treated as an emergency.
💛 Yellow gums may be a sign of jaundice or liver-related disease.
⚪ Gray or white gums can occur with poor circulation, shock, or serious illness.

If your pet’s gums suddenly look different from normal—or they’re also experiencing weakness, lethargy, vomiting, trouble breathing, or other concerning symptoms—don’t wait to have them checked.

❤️ When in doubt, check it out! Your pet’s gums may be telling you something important.

🐾 Does your pet get stressed at the vet? 🐾

For some dogs and cats, a trip to the veterinarian can be overwhelming. Pre-appointment medications such as gabapentin and trazodone may help reduce fear and anxiety, making the visit more comfortable for your pet—and safer for everyone. 💙

These medications can help with:
🐶 Stress during car rides
🐱 Fear and anxiety in the clinic
🩺 Safer, calmer examinations
❤️ A more positive veterinary experience

Plan ahead! If your pet becomes anxious for veterinary visits, let us know when scheduling so we can discuss whether pre-appointment medication is appropriate.

📌 Important: Your pet must have been seen by a doctor at Galena Veterinary Care within the past year to receive these medications.

A calmer pet means a better experience for everyone! 🐾💙

🐱🐾 Meet Buster & Lucille! 💕

These adorable brother-and-sister duo came in for their annual wellness exams and vaccines! 💉🩺 They may be siblings, but they look SO much alike that it’s hard to tell them apart! 😻

🚨🐾 Meet Norman! 💙

Norman got himself into a little trouble by eating something he definitely wasn’t supposed to! 😅 Thankfully, his owner acted quickly and brought him to Galena Veterinary Care.

Because of that quick action, we were able to safely induce vomiting and retrieve the item before it could cause bigger problems. 🙌🐶

We’re so happy Norman is doing well! This is a great reminder that if you think your pet swallowed something they shouldn’t have, quick action can make a big difference. ❤️

🐾 Nosebleeds in dogs can be alarming, but they shouldn’t always be ignored. ❤️

A small nosebleed may have a simple cause, but bleeding can also be a sign of infection, trauma, a bleeding disorder, high blood pressure, or another underlying condition.

If your dog has a nosebleed, keep an eye on how much they’re bleeding and how they’re acting. Heavy, persistent bleeding or any trouble breathing, weakness, or other concerning symptoms warrants prompt veterinary attention.

🐶 When in doubt, get it checked out! Early evaluation can help identify the cause and get your dog the care they need.
