Bella stopped by recently for a nail trim! Regular nail trims are important for a few reasons.

1) long nails can curl into the paw pads or split, both can cause pain and bleeding.

2) long nails can change how your dogs paws hit the ground, which can lead to joint strain over time.

3) regular nail trims reduce damage to your floors, furniture and skin.

Ellie came in recently for a bandage change and we’re happy to report she is healing well! Bandage changes are necessary to keep wounds clean and prevent infections.

Patient Spotlight: Peter’s Dental Day 🐰

The handsome Peter visited us for a comprehensive dental exam!
Unlike humans, rabbit teeth grow continuously throughout their lives.

This makes regular dental check-ups a vital part of their healthcare routine. During a dental visit, we look for:

* Malocclusion: Ensuring teeth are aligned properly so they wear down naturally.
* Spurs: Identifying sharp edges that can cause painful sores on the tongue or cheeks.
* Root Health: Checking for signs of infection or abscesses.

Common signs of dental issues in rabbits include a decreased appetite, drooling, or dropping food. Early detection is key to keeping your bunny comfortable and eating well!
Is your rabbit due for a dental check-up? Schedule an exam with our exotic care team at Oceanside Animal Hospital today.

Patient Spotlight: Cinnabon’s Big Day!

The adorable Cinnabon visited us recently for a pre-spay exam and wellness check!

Before any surgical procedure, a thorough exam is essential. This allows our team to:

* Verify Health: Ensure your rabbit is in peak condition for anesthesia.
* Review History: Discuss diet and lifestyle to tailor the best care plan.
* Safety First: Perform a physical assessment to minimize surgical risks.

Spaying and neutering are vital for rabbits, as they help prevent reproductive cancers and promote a longer, calmer, and healthier life.
Thinking about spaying or neutering your rabbit? Call us at Oceanside Animal Hospital to schedule a pre-surgical consultation!

Patient Spotlight: Guinness & Fasted Bloodwork 🐾

The handsome Guinness is spending the day with us for fasted bloodwork. While skipping breakfast can be tough, it is essential for the most accurate diagnostic results.

Why is fasting necessary?
* Clearer Samples: Post-meal fats (lipids) can cloud blood samples, interfering with lab equipment.
* Accurate Baselines: Eating causes temporary spikes in glucose and certain liver enzymes; fasting allows us to see your pet’s true baseline levels.
* Better Diagnostics: It ensures we can accurately monitor underlying health without interference from recent meals.

Guinness is doing great and will be treated to a well-deserved meal as soon as we’re finished!

Meet one of our brave patients! While they might look cozy, keeping them healthy involves more than just a soft blanket. One of the most critical steps for any cat owner is the FVRCP vaccine.
Often called the "feline distemper" shot, this core vaccine is a 3-in-1 powerhouse that protects against:

* Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis: A severe upper respiratory infection.
* Calicivirus: A highly contagious virus causing mouth sores and respiratory issues.
* Panleukopenia: A life-threatening viral disease that attacks the immune system.

Even indoor cats are at risk, as these viruses can be hardy and easily transported. Staying current on boosters is the best way to ensure your cat lives a long, healthy life.
Is your cat due for their wellness exam? Give us a call at Oceanside Animal Hospital to schedule an appointment!
