Happy puppy Thursday! A little bit ago we saw Lula the Westie puppy for her last puppy vaccine. She was so excited to see us, and Andrea was so happy to take care of her. Lulu was so great for her Rabies vaccination, and was thrilled we didn't have to clean her ears this time. We can't wait to see her cute face again!

May is Pet Arthritis Awareness Month, which brings awareness on how osteoarthritis (OA) affects dogs, cats, and small pets, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Common signs of arthritis in dogs are stiffness, reluctance to go on walks, difficulty rising, jumping or climbing stairs, limping, and licking joints. Common signs in cats are decreased jumping, decrease in play, sleeping more, stiff gait, and decreased grooming.

Management and treatment strategies are often weight control, exercise and physiotherapy, supplements and diet change, medications and anti-inflammatory and laser therapy.

Give us a call if you are noticing any changes recently in your pets.

She is devoted to her patients and is very passionate about them getting the best care possible. Golden Retrievers are her favorite breed and always get a little extra love and attention from her.

Yesterday Cali the Boxer mix came in for the 2 week recheck for the aural hematoma on her left ear. The owners saw her ear swollen and brought her in the next day for an appointment. Cali was sedated so Dr. Goodman could drain the fluid and inject a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation, pain, and scar tissue and promote healing. We also treated her for an ear infection, the most likely cause for her hematoma.

An aural hematoma is a painful, blood-filled pocket in the ear flap caused by ruptured blood vessels, usually from intense head-shaking or scratching, often due to an underlying infection. Some aural hematomas are treated by draining the hematoma and injecting a steroid into the pocket. Oral steroids are often recommended as well, along with keeping the ear stabilized from shaking.

Cali's ear hematoma and ear infection have both healed well, her ear is no longer irritated and she is not pawing the ear or shaking her head. She was great for her treatment and recheck, but will be relieved to not come back for more exams!

April is National Heartworm Awareness Month. The goal is to bring awareness to all pet owners about the deadly heartworm disease and how they can prevent or treat it. Every three years, the American Heartworm Society gathers data on heartworm testing to understand the impact heartworm is having nationwide. Testing and data from thousands of veterinary practices and shelters is gathered. This is used to create a detailed map showing the average number of heartworm-positive cases per clinic. In the last 15 years (as shown in the maps), Las Vegas has seen a rise in mosquitoes and heartworm cases. We recommend regular heartworm tests and preventative medications.

Heartworms are parasitic worms that are carried and transmitted by infected mosquitoes. When infected by the worm, the functioning of blood vessels in the heart is impaired, which reduces lung capacity and leads to death. Heartworm disease is not contagious — it cannot be transmitted from one pet to another. Heartworm disease is only spread through the bite of a mosquito carrying that worm. Upon infection, it can live up to five to seven years inside a dog and up to two to three years inside a cat.

Follow the recommendations of the American Heartworm Society and take your pet for their annual heartworm testing and give them year-round heartworm preventative medication to keep them healthy.
