🚐🐾 Fun Fact Friday 🚗🐾

Did you know that house calls were the original form of veterinary care?

Before veterinary clinics became popular in the mid-1900s, vets would always travel to homes and farms to treat animals. Today, mobile vets are bringing this tradition back—combining old-school care with modern medicine to make visits easier and less stressful for your pets. 🐶🐱❤️

It’s personalized care that comes to you—making healthier, happier pets!

Please keep your cats inside. Transmission of Avian flu to cats is possible but rare. If you have concerns about your cat please contact your veterinarian.

According to the AVMA:

“Illness may start with loss of appetite, lethargy and fever then progress quickly, with cats exhibiting:

Neurologic signs (e.g., ataxia, circling, tremors, seizures, or blindness)
Severe depression
Copious oculonasal discharge
Other respiratory signs, including tachypnea, dyspnea, and possibly sneezing or coughing”

Keeping cats inside can help to reduce exposure and spread of the disease.

The Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative (CWHC) confirmed dead geese have tested positive for Avian Influenza (bird flu) at the stormwater ponds in Bolton and Southfields Village.

We’re currently working with the CWHC to monitor the areas and coordinate cleanup. The risk of Avian Flu spreading to humans is extremely rare and there are currently no indicators of increasing risk to the public. We ask residents to take the following precautions:

• Stay away from ponds or areas where waterfowl live.
• Keep cats indoors and keep all pets away from sick or dead wildlife.
• Remove birdbaths and bird feeders.
• Do not touch sick or dead birds or other wildlife.
• Call 311 to report sick or dead wildlife on public property.

🚗🐾 Flashback Friday 🐾🚐

In 1900, New York Veterinary Hospital introduced a canine ambulance to help pet owners transport their sick animals, an early version of today’s mobile veterinary services. This innovation made veterinary care more accessible, especially for pets whose owners couldn’t travel.

It’s incredible to see how mobile veterinary care has evolved to meet the needs of pets and families! You may be surprised at what a mobile veterinary visit is like today!

🐾 Our pets can’t tell us when something feels off, but they often show us through small changes—licking a paw, limping, or seeming a little quieter than usual. These subtle signs can be their way of saying, 'I need help.' ❤️

It’s easy to hope it’s nothing, but ignoring these signs could allow a minor issue to turn into something more serious. The sooner we address the problem, the sooner your furry friend can start feeling like themselves again.

Don’t wait for things to get worse. Let’s work together to uncover what’s wrong and create a care plan that gets your pet back to their happy, tail-wagging self. 🐶🐱

🩵 Planning Ahead 🩵

Pre-planning for your pet’s end-of-life care is a compassionate way to ensure you’re prepared when the time comes. By taking the time to explore options now, you can reduce anxiety, make informed decisions, and provide your pet with the most peaceful and personalized experience.

While it can be very sad & difficult to go through these anticipatory grief stages, this proactive approach allows you to focus on cherishing the time you have together, rather than rushing through difficult decisions during an emotional time.
