🌟Patient Spotlight: Tank 🌟

Meet Tank, a 1-year-old Great Dane with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! 🐾💙

Tank is a gentle giant who loves life and is always ready for an adventure! Whether he's traveling with his family or just hanging out at home, he's happiest when he's right by mom's side. He's a true Velcro dog who believes personal space is completely overrated! 😂

His mom describes him as big, clumsy, and a little awkward, but that's all part of his charm. What he lacks in coordination, he makes up for with sweetness and a heart as big as he is! 💕

Tank also takes his role as big brother very seriously. He works hard to be a good example, even if those giant paws sometimes have a mind of their own.

He's a great travel buddy, an expert attention seeker, and a professional bed thief. After all, who needs room to sleep when you have a Great Dane who wants to cuddle? 💤

As his mom puts it, "He will steal your bed and your heart." ❤️

We love watching this big, lovable boy grow and are so happy to be part of his care!

Give Tank some love in the comments! 🐾💙

🐾Pet Obesity Awareness Day: Let's Get Moving! 🐶🐱

We all love spoiling our pets, but sometimes the best way to show them love is by helping them stay active and healthy! ❤️

In honor of Pet Obesity Awareness Day, we want to know:

What's your pet's FAVORITE way to get moving? 🐕🐈

🎾 Playing fetch (even if they never bring the ball back!)

🐿️ Chasing squirrels in the backyard

🪶 Pouncing on feather toys

🚶 Going for walks and sniffing EVERYTHING

📦 Attacking the mysterious cardboard box

💤 Does running to the food bowl count as exercise? 😂

🐾October is National Pet Wellness Month! 🐾

💩 Let's talk p**p! It may not be glamorous, but routine f***l testing is an important part of keeping your pet healthy!

Did you know that even pets on monthly parasite prevention can still have intestinal parasites? 🪱

Many heartworm preventatives also protect against common intestinal parasites like roundworms and hookworms, but they don't protect against everything!

🔬 That's where routine f***l testing comes in!

At Walnut Creek Veterinary Hospital, our f***l testing screens for several intestinal parasites, including:

🐛 Roundworms
🐛 Hookworms
🐛 Whipworms
🐛 Two types of tapeworms
🐛 Giardia
🐛 Coccidia

Why test if your pet seems perfectly healthy? 🤔

✅ Parasites can go unnoticed! Many infected pets show no symptoms but can still shed parasites into the environment.

✅ Some parasites can spread to people! Certain intestinal parasites are zoonotic, meaning they can infect humans, too.

✅ Prevention doesn't cover everything! Routine testing helps us catch parasites that your pet's monthly preventative may not protect against.

✅ Early detection matters! Finding and treating parasites helps protect your pet, your family, and other animals.

🐶🐱 Even healthy pets need a little detective work! Intestinal parasites aren't always easy to spot, but routine f***l testing helps us find the ones hiding in plain sight. It's one more way we can help keep your pet and your family healthy!

📅 Is your pet due for their wellness exam or f***l screening? We'd love to help!

WCVH has partnered with Snout to offer wellness plans for your pet! Some plans even include routine f***l testing. If you have questions, we'd love to chat! If you like to sign up, you can find the portal here: https://walnutcreekvethospital.com/snout-wellness-plan-enrollment

🐾AAHA Guidelines Spotlight: Nutrition & Weight Management 🥗

Why do we talk about your pet's weight at almost every visit? We promise, we're not judging you OR your pet! ❤️

The AAHA Nutrition and Weight Management Guidelines remind us that proper nutrition plays a major role in helping pets live longer, healthier lives. Good nutrition and weight management can also improve quality of life for pets with conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and arthritis.

So, what do these guidelines recommend?

🐾 Regular Nutritional Assessments: Your pet's nutrition and weight should be evaluated throughout their life, ideally at every exam.

🐾 Body Condition Scoring (BCS): It's not just about the number on the scale! We evaluate body fat by looking at and feeling areas like the ribs, waist, and belly.

🐾 Looking at the Whole Picture: We consider activity levels, treats, feeding habits, medical conditions, and lifestyle to identify possible causes of weight gain and challenges with weight loss.

🐾 Individualized Nutrition Plans: Every pet is different! Nutrition recommendations should be tailored to each pet's age, health, lifestyle, and needs.

🐾 Staying Informed: With so many pet food options and trends, choosing the right diet can be confusing. AAHA encourages veterinary teams to stay informed so we can have open, honest conversations about our recommendations and the science behind them.

The bottom line? When we bring up your pet's weight, it's not about making anyone feel guilty. It's about helping your pet feel their best, stay active, and enjoy as many healthy years with you as possible!

At Walnut Creek Veterinary Hospital, we use AAHA guidelines to help us provide individualized care for every patient. ❤️

🎭🐾 How dramatic is your pet?

Every pet has that one thing that is clearly the WORST thing that has ever happened to them.

Maybe it’s:
🐶 Being told dinner is still 10 minutes away
🐱 Seeing the bottom of the food bowl
🐾 Getting their nails trimmed
🚪 Being denied access to a room for approximately 30 seconds
🌧️ Being expected to potty when the grass is wet
💊 Discovering you hid a pill in their favorite treat

Finish this sentence:
“My pet acts like their life is OVER when __________.”

Tell us in the comments! Bonus points for photographic evidence of the drama. 😂📸

For Lt. Dan. It's waking up from the best nap ever!

🦋🦝 Happy National Wildlife Day! 🐿️🦉

Today is a great reminder that we share our neighborhoods, parks, and backyards with some pretty amazing wild neighbors!

There are simple things we can do at home to help protect local wildlife:

🌿 Plant native flowers and plants to provide food and shelter for birds and pollinators.
🐦 Provide clean, fresh water for backyard visitors.
🌙 Reduce light pollution at night. Turn off unnecessary outdoor lights, use motion sensors or timers, and aim lights downward. Darker nights help migrating birds, bats, moths, and other nighttime wildlife.
🐱 Keep cats indoors or provide supervised outdoor time to protect both cats and wildlife.
🐕 Keep dogs leashed around wildlife and don't allow them to chase or approach wild animals.
🦋 Avoid unnecessary pesticide and rodenticide use, which can affect more than just the intended pest.
🦝 Never handle injured or orphaned wildlife yourself—contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for guidance.

And remember: wild animals are meant to stay wild! Enjoy them from a safe distance and give them plenty of space.

🦉 What wild visitors have you spotted around your home lately? Share your photos in the comments!

🌟Patient Spotlight: Bam Bam🌟

Meet Bam Bam, a very special kitty with quite a story to tell!🐾💙

Bam Bam joined his family the day after Christmas in 2023 when he was just 8 weeks old, and he has been filling their home with love and laughter ever since.

He has a few talents that make him especially unique. Bam Bam loves to fetch paper balls and toys - even though the family dog doesn't fetch! He also keeps an eye on things around the house and will meow at the door to let his humans know when the dog is ready to come back inside.😹

Bam Bam has also taken little Pebbles under his paw, helping her learn, play, and grow strong. Some of you may even recognize Pebbles - she was adopted from WCVH!💕

But one of the most amazing things about Bam Bam is what he's overcome. Bam Bam is an FIP survivor. Feline infectious peritonitis was once considered a nearly certain death sentence for cats, but advances in treatment have given cats like Bam Bam a chance to fight this devaststing disease.

His family says they are incredibly thankful to have their beautiful, caring boy healthy and filling their home with all the silly cat antics that make them laugh and smile.

We feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of Bam Bam's journey and even luckier to see him thriving today.💙

Give this handsome FIP warrior some love in the comments!🐾

🌈Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Month

Some pets are with us for many years, and some for far too short a time—but they all leave paw prints on our hearts. ❤️

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Month is a time to honor the pets we have loved and lost. The empty bed, the quiet spot where their food bowl once sat, or the absence of familiar paws following you from room to room can be a reminder of just how much space they filled in our lives.

They were more than pets. They were family, best friends, constant companions, and part of our everyday routines.

This month, we invite you to remember them with us. 🌈🐾

Share a favorite photo of a pet waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge in the comments, along with their name or a favorite memory. We'd be honored to remember them with you. ❤️

🐱AAHA Guidelines: Managing Diabetes in Cats

Diabetes can be a lifelong condition, but with the right care, diabetic cats can live happy, comfortable lives. The AAHA Diabetes Management Guidelines help veterinarians choose the best treatment and monitoring plan for each cat.

💊 More treatment options are available.
SGLT2-inhibitor medications can be used instead of insulin in some cats. However, not every diabetic cat is a safe candidate. The guidelines help veterinarians decide when these medications may be appropriate.

🩺 We treat the whole cat.
Other health conditions can cause insulin resistance and make diabetes harder to control. Our veterinarians evaluate diabetic cats for these problems as part of their treatment plan.

🩸 Monitoring is more than a number.
Stress can raise a cat's blood sugar, so in-hospital glucose curves are not routinely recommended. Instead, fructosamine testing can help us evaluate blood sugar control over time.

For cats receiving insulin, we also look for improvement in symptoms like excessive thirst and urination, while making sure your cat is feeling and acting well.

❤️ There is good news!
With proper care, diabetic cats can live comfortably with their condition—and some cats may even go into remission.

Every diabetic cat is different, and AAHA guidelines help us create a treatment plan that works for the individual patient.
