You loved the Maine C**n from Monday… so we’re back with a challenge for you 🐾👀

This fluffy patient is polydactyl, meaning he has extra toes due to a harmless genetic trait. It’s more common in Maine C**ns and gives them those iconic oversized paws!

We’re curious — how many toes do you think he has in total? 🐱👇
Take your best guess in the comments and we’ll reveal the answer soon!

🐾 Patient of the week!🐾

Current clinic status: kinda busy… and we love every second of it!

This Maine C**n came in this week for entropion surgery to help correct eyelids that were rolling inward and irritating his eyes. The procedure helps relieve discomfort and prevent future damage to the eye.

While he was here, we also removed a small wart behind his ear for cosmetic purposes. Thankfully, it was non-cancerous 🐾

We love being able to share these behind-the-scenes moments and give pets the comfort they deserve!

🦷Dental Disease in Pets: What Every Owner Should Know 🦷

At Altitude Veterinary Services, we’re passionate about helping your pets live longer, healthier lives—and that starts with their oral health!

Did you know?
By age 3, most dogs and cats have some form of dental disease. It often starts small but can quickly progress if left untreated.

The Stages of Dental Disease:
🔹 Stage 1: Gingivitis – Red, inflamed gums and plaque buildup
🔹 Stage 2: Advanced Gingivitis – Tartar accumulation and bad breath
🔹 Stage 3: Periodontitis – Infection begins damaging bone and tissues
🔹 Stage 4: Advanced Periodontitis – Severe pain, tooth loss, and systemic risk

Why it matters:
Dental disease isn’t just about the mouth—it can impact your pet’s entire body. Bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect the heart, liver, and kidneys, leading to serious health issues.

Signs your pet may have dental disease:
• Bad breath
• Yellow/brown tartar buildup
• Red or bleeding gums
• Difficulty eating or chewing
• Pawing at the mouth

How to protect your pet:
✔️ Brush your pet’s teeth regularly
✔️ Use vet-approved dental chews or diets
✔️ Schedule routine dental exams & cleanings
✔️ Start early—prevention is key!

Healthy teeth = a healthier, happier pet 🐶🐱

📞 Call us today to schedule your pet’s dental exam!

Spay & Neuter Your Pet: One of the Most Important Decisions You’ll Make for Their Health

Did you know spaying or neutering your pet can significantly reduce the risk of serious health problems and help them live a longer, healthier life?

✨ Why it matters:
✔ Lowers risk of certain cancers (mammary, uterine, testicular)
✔ Prevents life-threatening infections like pyometra
✔ Reduces unwanted behaviors like roaming, marking, and aggression
✔ Helps prevent accidental litters and pet overpopulation

⚠️ What can happen if pets aren’t spayed or neutered:
- Higher risk of serious reproductive diseases
- Increased chance of running away or getting injured
- Behavioral challenges that can be stressful for both pets and owners
- Unplanned litters contributing to overcrowded shelters

📅 When should it be done?
🐶 Dogs: Typically 6 months for small breeds, and 9–18 months for larger breeds (depending on growth and breed)
🐱 Cats: Around 4–6 months old
🐰 Rabbits: Often recommended around 4–6 months old to prevent reproductive cancers and improve behavior

💬 Every pet is different—our team can help you choose the safest timing based on breed, size, and lifestyle.

📞 Spots fill quickly for spay/neuter consultations!
Call us today or send us a message to get on the schedule.

Patient of the Week: Meet Doug!

Doug recently had a tough run-in with a car that left him with a broken jaw—but thanks to a dedicated team effort, he’s on the road to recovery!

With the our expertise and help from Jolley Orthodontics, we were able to successfully repair Doug’s jaw and get him feeling more like himself again. 💙

He still has some healing to do, but his progress so far has been amazing, and we’re so proud of how strong he’s been through it all.

Please join us in wishing Doug a smooth and speedy recovery! 🐶✨

If your pet ever experiences an emergency, don’t hesitate to reach out—our team is always here to help.
