🚨 **Urethral obstruction is a true emergency!** 🚨

Tofu came into our care after developing a **urethral obstruction**, a condition that can occur more commonly in male cats. When a cat is unable to urinate, it can quickly become life-threatening and requires immediate veterinary attention.

Signs of a possible urinary obstruction include:
🐾 Straining to urinate or spending a long time in the litter box
🐾 Vocalizing or showing signs of pain while trying to urinate
🐾 Attempting to urinate outside of the litter box
🐾 Frequent trips to the litter box with little or no urine produced
🐾 A painful or tense abdomen

**If you notice these signs, don't wait! Contact us immediately or seek emergency veterinary care.**

Thankfully, after a few days of treatment and monitoring, Tofu was feeling much better and was able to head home. 💚

He was such a sweet patient and made sure to keep our team entertained with **plenty of biscuits!** 🥰🐱

Purr-fect luxury for your feline friends! 🐾✨

Did you know our cat-only boarding room features multi-level condos? These spacious setups give your cat plenty of room to climb, perch, and lounge in comfort.

Plus, we’ve taken cleanliness and comfort to the next level: each condo includes a separate, individually ventilated litter box den. This keeps their sleeping and resting areas fresh, clean, and completely separate from the litter box!

Give your cat the luxury staycation they deserve while you're away.

🛁🐶 **Spa day at Silver Leaf!**

Some pets love their bath… and some are still deciding how they feel about it! 😂

Lily is getting all cleaned up and pampered by our grooming team. Just look at that face! 🥹🫧

Because sometimes you have to get a little wet before you can look this fabulous! ✨🐾

Lily is on the schedule every 5 weeks to make sure she doesn't miss her hair appointment. Call today to set up regular grooming appointments with Kirstie or Jessie.

**Who else has a pet that acts personally offended by bath time? 😂**

🦷 **Flossing wasn’t going to get this one out!** 😳

Poor Rusty had a very strange object wedged between his teeth and gums. With a little sedation, our team was able to safely dislodge it and get a good look at what was causing all the trouble.

Rusty went home with some pain medication and should be feeling much better soon! 💚🐾

Another reminder that our pets can find the **weirdest things** to get themselves into! 😂

✂️ **Nail trims & a**l glands:** Pets must be current on their rabies vaccine.

Our technicians love getting some extra time with your furry friends, and we’d love to see them on Saturday! 🐶🐱

**🚨 DID YOU KNOW? 🚨**

So far this year, we have treated **OVER 20 cases of heartworm disease** right here at Silver Leaf Animal Hospital. 💔🐶

Heartworm disease is **serious, preventable, and much more difficult to treat than it is to prevent.** Treatment is a long process that can be hard on your dog’s body, and if heartworm disease is left untreated, it can progress to **heart failure** and cause permanent damage.

That’s why we strongly recommend keeping your dog on **heartworm prevention year-round**—whether that’s a **ProHeart injectable** or a monthly chewable.

❤️ **Prevention is so much easier on your pet—and your wallet—than treatment.**

If your dog isn’t currently on heartworm prevention, give us a call! We’d be happy to help you find the best option for your furry friend.

🐾 **Don’t wait until heartworms become a problem. Prevent them before they have a chance to start!**
