Remembering Animals in War

Commemorative pins from the Ontario SPCA honour the wartime contributions of animals. They are intended to be worn as a complement to the poppy in remembrance of our veterans and the animals who bravely served by their side.

Mules carried artillery, horses transported troops and hauled field guns, pigeons delivered crucial messages, cats served as companions and kept ships free of vermin, and dogs have served as messengers, medical assistants, bomb detectors and search and rescue workers.

Sales from these pins help provide care for animals in need.

Graphic warning! Not for the the faint of heart!

Here's a photo of pyometra (a uterus filled with bacteria and pus). You can see how distended the uterus on the left is, compared to the normal uterus on the right.

The only treatment for this is a spay surgery. Left untreated, this could explode and become life-threatening for a female dog.

Signs of pyometra include low energy, discharge, drinking and urinating more, vomiting and not eating.

Spaying your dog at a young and healthy age can prevent pyometra.

October is RVT Month!

The Registered Veterinary Technologists and Technicians of Canada observes RVT Month every October to honour the vital role RVT's play in animal healthcare.

RVTs are indispensable to veterinary medicine. The average ratio is two RVT's for every one veterinarian. Basically, a veterinary practice cannot run without their RVT's!

We would like to take this opportunity to send a special thank-you to all of the hard-working, ever-smiling and dedicated RVT's in our clinic!

We would not be here without you and we appreciate you every single day!

Britain has a new statue memorializing Queen Elizabeth and her Corgis!

It was unveiled in Rutland, England on what would have been the Queen's 98th birthday.

According to reports, the statue is meant to sit on and the dogs are meant to be petted!

The dog days of summer are here!

In ancient times, when the star Sirius appeared in the summer sky, it meant that hot days were to follow.

Harry Potter fans take note - Sirius Black is named after the star (and he turns into a dog!)

Stay cool!
