This past weekend, members of the Twin Cities Veterinary Clinic team traveled to Anchorage to attend the Alaska Veterinary Medical Association (AKVMA) Annual Symposium!

Continuing education is an important part of providing exceptional veterinary care. Our team had the opportunity to expand their knowledge, learn about advancements in veterinary medicine, connect with fellow veterinary professionals, and bring home new ideas to benefit our patients and clients.

We’re proud of our team’s dedication to continued learning and professional growth. Investing in our staff means investing in the quality of care we provide to the pets and families of our community. ❤️🐾

Look at ‘Milo’ the 3-year-old Tibetan Spaniel! Isn’t he adorable? 😍

Here’s an interesting fact about the breed: Buddhist monks bred them in Himalayan monasteries to act as lookouts, perching on high walls to alert larger Tibetan Mastiffs of approaching strangers. 😮

🚨 PORCUPINES: A WARNING TO DOG OWNERS! 🚨

Twin Cities Veterinary Clinic has seen RECORD numbers of porcupine quill emergencies across the Kenai Peninsula, including Soldotna, Kenai, Nikiski, Kasilof, and Sterling.

Many of these emergencies involve dogs allowed outdoors unsupervised, uncontained, or free-roaming. We urge pet owners to take these encounters seriously.

🦔 WHY DO DOGS APPROACH PORCUPINES?
Porcupines are slow-moving, unusual, and have interesting scents that attract curious dogs. They are primarily nocturnal, can climb trees, porches, and some fencing, and will defend themselves when threatened. Unfortunately, many dogs are REPEAT OFFENDERS and don't learn from their first painful encounter!

⚠️ QUILLS CAN BE LIFE-THREATENING!
Porcupine quills have tiny backward-facing barbs that make removal difficult. They can break off beneath the skin, migrate deeper into tissues, cause infections and abscesses, puncture internal organs (including the lungs and heart), and cause permanent injury or even death.

Quills are made of keratin and generally aren't visible on standard X-rays. Retained quills can cause complications weeks or months later!

🚫 DO NOT REMOVE QUILLS YOURSELF!
Attempting removal at home can break quills and cause further damage. Most dogs require heavy sedation or general anesthesia for safe, thorough removal.

We CANNOT prescribe sedatives for owners to perform quill removal at home. Please seek veterinary care immediately!

🐕 PREVENTION IS KEY:
✅ Secure fencing and outdoor enclosures.
✅ Supervise pets whenever outdoors.
✅ Leash-walk instead of allowing free roaming.
✅ Use extra caution at dusk and nighttime.

💰 PLAN FOR EMERGENCIES!
Quill removal can be expensive, especially after hours. Emergency savings, pet insurance, or financing options can help. Keeping annual wellness exams current and establishing care with a local veterinarian BEFORE an emergency may also help streamline treatment and reduce certain costs.

❤️ Accidents happen, and our goal is awareness, not blame. These injuries are painful, costly, and often preventable. However, if your dog encounters a porcupine, we are here to help. We offer 24/7 emergency services even on nights, weekends, and holidays. Simply call our regular phone number at (907) 262-4581 and listen to the prompts to be directed to the on-call veterinarian.

Please supervise and contain your dogs. One encounter can be life-threatening, and one painful lesson may not be enough!

Our resident clinic cat, Rihanna, snoozing away peacefully on our break room couch. We’re not exactly sure why she’s our team mascot, as she sleeps on the clock quite often, but at least she’s cute. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe she’s reminding us all to prioritize rest and recouping? 💤

How cool is ‘Falkor’ the 1.5-year-old white Maine C**n cat?! 🤍 His name is so fitting! Falkor has heterochromia (two different colored eyes). This condition is most common in cats with all-white coats. It happens because of different levels of melanin in the eyes. 👀 Most cats with heterochromia see normally and have healthy vision. 🤓
