Anhidrosis is a condition in which the horse stops sweating during times of high heat and humidity. This causes the body to overheat, and prevents the horse from being able to be ridden, or even turned out to graze. The medical community is unsure exactly why this happens, so there are a variety of treatments available to try and help the horse sweat normally. One of these treatments is acupuncture, the goal being to rebalance the body and allow the sweat pores to open again. Dr. Bailey has been very busy this summer with horses that don’t sweat well or at all, and is always thrilled when acupuncture is both tolerated by the horse and also allows them to sweat! It is a great “tool in the toolbox” to offer to our clients when dark beer and supplements aren’t enough.

🐾🚨 PET OF THE MONTH TAKEOVER! 🚨🐾

Hi. It’s me, Lennox. 🐶

Apparently, I am the Pet of the Month at Thomasville Animal Hospital. Honestly, I’m not surprised. I’ve been telling everyone I’m kind of a big deal. 😎

I’m a big boy with a HUGE personality, a heart full of love, and absolutely zero intention of acting my age. 😂 I like attention, treats, belly rubs, making people laugh, and generally being wherever the action is.

The staff says I’m a “big goof.” I prefer “professional personality hire.” 💁‍♂️

I would like to thank my adoring fans, the people who give me treats, and everyone who has fallen completely under my spell. You’re welcome. ❤️

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have important business to attend to… probably something involving snacks.

Love,
Lennox 🐾
Pet of the Month. Big deal. Bigger goof.

Feline congenital hypothyroidism (CH) or cretinism, is a rare endocrine condition that occurs when a kitten's thyroid gland does not produce adequate thyroid hormone. This condition is likely underdiagnosed because its clinical signs can overlap with those of fading kitten syndrome. Dr. Bostick recently diagnosed a kitten with cretinism. See if you can identify the abnormal kitten in the litter pictured.

Kittens and young cats affected by congenital hypothyroidism typically present with a range of developmental and systemic clinical signs:
➡️ Growth and Stature: Affected animals are often significantly smaller than their littermates and exhibit dwarfism or stunted growth with a stocky build and a round face and abnormally small ears.
➡️ Neurological and Behavioral: Common signs include mental dullness, severe lethargy, reduced playfulness, and excessive sleeping. Generalized weakness, gait abnormalities, and hindlimb weakness can also be observed. In severe cases, kittens may appear nearly comatose.
➡️ Gastrointestinal: Chronic constipation, obstipation, and megacolon are frequently reported.
➡️ Dermatological: Haircoat may be coarse, thin, or patchy.
➡️ Skeletal and Dental Radiographs may reveal abnormal growth plates. Retained baby teeth.

Affected kittens require potential lifelong thyroid supplementation, but we can confirm they make great pets!

🐾 Choosing the right food for your pet can be confusing! 🐶🐱

There are SO many options and plenty of strong opinions about what’s “best.”

So what should you actually look for? 👇

🚨 A word about raw diets

The AVMA discourages feeding cats and dogs animal-source proteins that have not been processed to eliminate pathogens because of the potential risk of illness to both pets AND people.

👉 A pet can appear completely healthy and still carry and shed harmful bacteria.

That means the concern isn’t limited to whether your pet gets sick. Pathogens can potentially be spread to people and other animals through handling the food, the pet, f***s, dishes, or the environment. This is especially important in households with young children, older adults, or immunocompromised individuals. 🦠👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🚨 What about grain-free diets?

Grain-free does NOT automatically mean healthier. 🌾❌

Veterinary researchers have identified cases of diet-associated dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs eating grain-free diets.

⚠️ Our takeaway: There is generally no reason to avoid grains in a healthy dog unless your veterinarian has recommended a specific diet for a medical reason. 🐶❤️

🥣 So…what SHOULD you look for in a pet food?

✅ Complete & balanced for your pet’s species and life stage

✅ Look for the nutritional adequacy statement on the package. AAFCO Certification.

✅ Choose a manufacturer that can answer questions about its food

✅ Don’t choose based solely on the ingredient list
Words like “premium,” “holistic,” or “natural” don’t tell you whether a food is nutritionally superior. 🧐

✅ Feed the right amount
Even a nutritionally complete food can contribute to obesity if too much is fed. ⚖️

❤️ Bottom line

There isn’t one food that is perfect for every pet.

The best diet is one that is nutritionally appropriate, complete and balanced, safe, and appropriate for your individual pet’s health needs.

And if you’re unsure what to feed your dog or cat, talk with your veterinarian! 🩺🐾
