Moved fast for such a tiny little spec.
We had a cat and dog fight outside our door. I think they waited too long to get to the vets.
Happy Halloween!
And thank you to whomever dropped off these creatures.
No one likes having their lunch interrupted
Ticks love this cool wet weather. This one was found on a clientโs arm while here with her dog. ๐ซ
A beautiful snowy day! I think Daisy and Hugo agree.
Our collection of ticks in one week. The live one is coming for me! ๐ณ
Here we demonstrate how easy it is to remove an engorged tick from a dog using a tick twister. This tool can also be used to remove ticks from people. Thank you to our very cooperative patient "Maisie" for participating ๐
This is a live Otodectes cynotis (ear mite) a microscopic ectoparasite to dogs and cats. Also seen is an ear mite egg. They feed on ear wax and skin oils, leaving behind a black crusty discharge. Sorry if you now feel itchy. ๐
We removed this tick today. With the above 4 degrees Celsius weather conditions, ticks have been out and active and looking for a host to feed on. Call us for prevention and advice.
