Intestinal parasites are one of the most common causes of chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and GI upset, and they're also one of the most commonly missed. Standard f***l floats have real blind spots, especially for Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and Tritrichomonas. We dig into when a basic f***l float is enough and when PCR testing is the better tool at Valley Center Veterinary Clinic.

Intestinal parasites are one of the most common causes of chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and GI upset in dogs and cats, and they are also one of the most commonly missed. Not because the tests do not exist, but because different parasites require different tests to detect, and not every parasite is....

🐶 If your furry friend has been diagnosed with heartworm disease, it's important to restrict their exercise.

😢 Physical exertion can exacerbate the damage the heartworms cause to the dog's heart and lungs. Treatment for heartworm disease is also risky, as the medication can cause life-threatening complications when the dead worms break apart. Before treatment is started, the dog's condition must be stabilized, and close monitoring is required during and after treatment.

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team by calling , so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

Finding a lump on your pet sets off a familiar sequence: you notice it, you poke it a few times, you worry, and then you either call the vet or talk yourself out of it. The honest reality is that no one, including veterinarians, can look at a lump from the outside and tell you with certainty what it is. We break down fine needle aspiration and biopsy (the two main tools for getting answers) at Valley Center Veterinary Clinic.

🌿🐾 Pet owners, be cautious when using w**d killers in your lawn or garden!

👀 While most w**d killers are safe when used correctly, your pet can experience myotonia, vomiting, and weakness if they consume an extreme quantity of certain products. Roundup® is not particularly dangerous, but ingesting large quantities of undiluted product can be harmful. If your pet is presenting these symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.

👍 Keep your pets safe and healthy by using w**d killers responsibly!🙏
