Contrary to Timothy’s belief he is doing much better. A little less than a year ago Timothy was diagnosed with diabetes and thanks to a great new medication called bexacat, he is doing really well. This medication is a once daily pill that helps manage diabetes without need for insulin. It is only available for our feline friends. Timothy has remained stable in his diabetic treatment due to this wonderful medication. This is his success story ❤️ way to go Timothy!

Just a friendly reminder that the heat index for this week is going to be very high. Heat advisories dont just apply to us but our fur kiddos as well. This week pets need to stay inside as much as possible, always have access to water, and a cool place to be. Dogs do not have sweat glands on their skin and cannot expel heat as easily as their human friends. All their heat is expelled through their paw pads and through panting. Walks should be kept to a minimum as the heat will be too high and the pavement will be too hot and may cause paw pads to burn.

Heat stroke is a very real concern among pets as they cannot disperse their heat as well as we can.

Initial SIGNS to watch for:
- very heavy panting
- unable to catch breath
- suddenly collaps or lethargy
- seeming confused or disoriented

What do if you suspect heat stroke:
- move your pet to a cool area
- call your vet immediately

What NOT to do:
- never put your pet in an ice bath if you suspect heat stroke as this can cause them to go into shock if their temperature changes too quickly

A friendly reminder that your Kingen Veterinary Staff is always here for you! If you have questions or concerns please always feel free to reach out!
