๐Ÿˆ Fear Free Friday ๐Ÿ•

One method we implement to reduce FAS (fear, anxiety, and stress) is a cheese wall! The consistency of the cheese on the wall is similar to a lick mat. These methods are helpful because they encourage mental engagement by stimulating dogs natural instinct to forage which can lead to reduced anxiety and boredom. As the patients are focused on the task, the technicians are generally able to provide treatment quicker and with less restraint. Another great benefit of the cheese wall is positive reinforcement. We've all dealt with our pets being stressed at the vet and we empathize. Our goal here is to make sure the visit is as stress free as possible for the pet and parent.

Pictured here, we have our patient Chancellor whom we've had the pleasure of knowing since he was a handsome young man.

Meet our staff!

Dr. Jessica Lund-Campos grew up in the Bay area. She has always known she has wanted to be a veterinarian ( evidenced by her dressing up as a vet for her 5th grade career fair ) and her plethora of animals that she had as a child. She graduated with her bachelors in animal science from Cal poly Pomona then went across the pond to get her DVM degree at Royal Veterinary College in London. Her heart belongs in northern California so she returned to practice here since graduating.

She worked at the vivarium on the Pomona campus where her love for exotics grew - she even ended up adopting a crested gecko from there. She also loves to rescue hurt animals so she has since also adopted one wonky bearded dragon and one squinty eyed cat.

In her free time she loves hiking with her family dogs and bearded dragon , trying new restraunts, and spending time with friends and family.

Regular checkups help rabbits live longer and healthier lives by identifying problems early. As prey animals, they instinctively mask pain and symptoms, which is why annual exams are important parts of rabbit care. Seniors and rabbits with chronic issues typically require more frequent visits to promote continued health and longevity!
Routine wellness visits allow doctors to detect subtle signs of illness before they require urgent intervention, including but not limited to: dental disease (painful molar spurs and possible infected tooth roots),๏ฟฝGI stasis/digestive problems, upper respiratory infections, eye/ear infections, parasites/mites, weight changes linked to illness or dietary insufficiencies, heart disease and other health concerns. Annual bloodwork can provide valuable insight into organ function and overall health. Early changes in liver, kidney, or metabolic health are often detectable through laboratory screening. Advanced diagnostics such as cardiac ultrasound can also play an important role in early diagnosis and treatment of conditions. Ultrasound imaging allows doctors to evaluate heart structure and function safely, in a relatively stress free and non-invasive manner. Preventative care is equally important. Yearly exams can help ensure rabbits stay current on their Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV2) vaccine, lifesaving protection against this highly contagious and often fatal disease.
Violet has been coming to Oasis since she was a tiny little bun, less than 2 months old. The first time we saw Violet, she had a dangerously low blood sugar level and was in critical condition. We were able to stabilize her and treat her, which allowed her to grow into the beautiful 8 year old, spicy senior Lop she is today. Here, Violet is getting a cardiac ultrasound from our owner and medical Dr. Asseo, who has been tending to her care since the first day we met her. This gorgeous bun a variety of conditions and needs regular monitoring through labwork and imaging. For this procedure, we stock them up with snacks and give them a lot of cuddles.

Shout out to Claire, who has done everything in her power to provide the best life for this well deserved girl!

Not a bird, not a plane, it's Nada Bear!!

It may look like our lovely Veterinary Technician, Claire, is changing the oil on a very furry vehicle, but that is not the case. Nada Bear, one of our beloved "frequent flyers," is a beautiful and well-mannered Newfoundland. She is also a whole lot of dog! Part of how we utilize Fear Free principles is by thinking ahead about what is going to be the least stressful option for collecting lab samples on our patients. While we ordinarily have our patients lie on their back for us to collect a urine sample using the ultrasound machine, we will make attempts at collecting these samples in standing position for our more anxious patients or for our extra large patients, like Nada Bear. This makes the experience much less stressful by reducing the amount of handling and restraint involved and keeps our patients calm and willing to come back.

Fear Free Friday ๐Ÿฅณ

Oasis strives to be Fear Free compliant, by applying the principles of this program to help reduce the stress and anxiety of our patients when they visit our hospital! We know how terrifying the hospital environment can be for pets, and we want to do whatever we can to minimize fear associated with that. If you want to learn more about what this means please visit https://www.fearfree.com/

One way to limit the stress our patients experience in our care is by using the least amount of restraint possible. Here you can see our Assistant Manager of Treatment, Mei, helping with a bandage change using sandbags to aid in restraint. This prevents over handling and allows the pets to feel calm and secure due to the weight of the bags. Thank you to Ember for being a wonderful patient!

What is a foxtail?
Foxtails are a group of grasses with spiky seeds at the end. Once imbedded, these spikes allow the seed to burrow deeper into the skin, tissues and even organs. Most commonly, we see these enter through the paws, ears, eyes, nose, mouth but can enter anywhere through the skin. They can cause abscesses and infections if not removed properly.

Possible signs can include:
Excessive licking, swelling or redness of localized area
Rubbing, scratching, or pawing of the nose or ears especially
Limping or sensitivity to pressure when walking (if associated with paw)
Head shaking, ear scratching, or head tilting (if associated with ears)
Sneezing, nasal discharge, or coughing (if associated with mouth or nose)
Swelling or discharge of the eyes

What to do:
Call us as soon as possible as early intervention is important to avoid complications. We will recommend that you be seen by a veterinarian quickly to ensure the problem is addressed before the the foxtail is given the chance to advance further. We suggest you call an emergency hospital, such as Pacific Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital, if this happens at a time we are not open.
Do not attempt to remove foxtails that are already embedded or located near the eyes, nose, or ears.

Tips:
1. Keep lawns/backyards maintained and free of weeds
2. Keep pets away from overgrown grassy areas outside of the home
3. Make sure to inspect your pets' skin, paws, ears, eyes, and mouth after walks or hikes.
4. Regularly brush and maintain your pets coat
