🐾 PARVOVIRUS AWARENESS 🐾

Over the past few weeks, we have unfortunately seen a significant increase in the number of puppies being diagnosed with Canine Parvovirus (Parvo). Many of these puppies become critically ill, and despite intensive treatment, not all of them survive.

What is Parvo?
Parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially fatal virus that attacks the intestinal tract and immune system of dogs, especially puppies. The virus can survive in the environment for months and spreads easily through contaminated soil, surfaces, shoes, clothing, and contact with infected dogs.

Signs of Parvo include:
🔹 Severe vomiting
🔹 Profuse diarrhoea (often bloody)
🔹 Loss of appetite
🔹 Lethargy and weakness
🔹 Dehydration
🔹 Fever or low body temperature

Parvo is a veterinary emergency and requires immediate treatment.

The good news? Parvo is preventable.

🐶 Vaccination is the best protection.

Puppies should receive a full vaccination course, typically starting at 6–8 weeks of age and repeated every 3–4 weeks until at least 16 weeks of age. Until they have completed their vaccination series, puppies should avoid high-risk areas where unvaccinated dogs may have been.

Many owners are unaware that a puppy is not fully protected after just one vaccine. Completing the entire vaccination schedule is essential to provide the best possible immunity.

The puppy in this photo is one of our precious patients receiving some extra love and comfort during treatment. Behind every Parvo case is a family hoping and praying for their beloved pet to recover. ❤️

Please help us reduce the number of Parvo cases in our community:
✔ Vaccinate your puppies on schedule
✔ Keep vaccinations up to date
✔ Avoid exposing young puppies to unknown dogs and public areas until fully vaccinated
✔ Seek veterinary attention immediately if your puppy develops vomiting, diarrhoea, or becomes lethargic

If you have any questions about puppy vaccinations or Parvo prevention, please contact us. Together we can help keep our puppies safe and healthy. 🐾❤️

❤️ A very special delivery ❤️

Fifi arrived needing an emergency Caesarean section.
We're happy to share that surgery went smoothly, and Fifi welcomed four beautiful, healthy puppies into the world. 🐾🐾🐾🐾

After a stressful start, seeing Fifi settled comfortably with her newborn babies made it all worthwhile. Mom is doing well, the puppies are thriving, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Thank you to Fifi's family for trusting us with her care during such an important moment.

Welcome to the world, little ones! ❤️

Sometimes people don’t realise how much their kind words truly matter.
Being a veterinarian is deeply rewarding, but it can also be emotionally and physically demanding. We see animals at their most vulnerable, we carry difficult decisions with families, and we often take home the weight of the hard days long after the clinic doors close.
That’s why messages, reviews, and simple words of appreciation from clients mean more than most people will ever know.
They don’t just encourage us — they steady us. They remind us why we chose this path in the first place. They help carry us through the long days, the tough cases, and the moments where things don’t go as planned.
Every “thank you,” every thoughtful message, every kind review genuinely makes a difference to our team.
We are truly grateful for the trust you place in us when you bring in your beloved pets and allow us to be part of their care. That trust is never taken lightly, and it means everything to us.
To everyone who has taken the time to share their appreciation — thank you. It doesn’t go unnoticed, and it means far more than we can adequately put into words.
We are grateful to be trusted with your babies and for the kindness shown back to us along the way.

Meet Smudge 🐾

Smudge recently underwent a bilateral TPLO surgery to help manage cruciate ligament disease in both knees.

A TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is an advanced orthopedic procedure commonly performed in dogs with cruciate ligament injuries to improve stability of the knee joint and help patients return to a more comfortable, active life.

Smudge has been incredibly brave throughout the process and is already recovering well with lots of rest, pain management, physiotherapy, and plenty of love ❤️

We are so proud of this sweet girl and look forward to seeing continued progress over the coming weeks!

Wishing Smudge a smooth and speedy recovery ❤️

There’s something so special about an older dog 🤍

Like a fine wine, Bindi just keeps getting better with age — senior dogs have a way of stealing our hearts all over again.

People often ask how she still looks and feels so good as she’s getting older, and the answer is actually quite simple:
🐾 A good quality diet
🐾Regular veterinary checkups
🐾Consistent dental care
🐾Lots of love and attention

As our pets age, regular geriatric checkups become incredibly important. Many age-related conditions can be managed far more successfully when picked up early, helping our senior pets stay comfortable, happy, and active for longer.

Dental health is another huge part of healthy aging. Chronic dental disease doesn’t just affect the mouth — it can impact the heart, kidneys, liver, and overall quality of life. A healthy mouth truly makes a difference.

Senior pets deserve to thrive, not just grow old 🐾

At our practice, this philosophy carries through every patient we see. I believe in treating every animal that walks through our doors with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own precious Bindi. That means taking the time to listen, to examine carefully, and to make decisions guided by compassion, thoroughness, and respect for the bond you share with your pet.

Abbotsford Veterinary Clinic- Expert care, heartfelt compassion 🤍

Some patients come in for check-ups… others come in for quality control 🔬👓
Our very serious (and highly trained) in-house inspector kindly helped the receptionist unpack treats today and perform essential taste-testing duties.

A few favourites were identified for “urgent re-ordering,” of course.

10/10 dedication to the job 🐾
