We'd like to remind everyone to never leave you pets or children in a hot car. It is incredibly dangerous, even on days that aren't super hot.

Foxtail grass is a common summer plant that presents an extreme risk to your dog. Please keep your dog away from this grass, and be on the lookout for any signs and symptoms of exposure.

⚠CAUTION⚠
Chu Chu came into our care a few days ago for not wanting to eat and lethargy. Dr. Thusari performed a radiograph and determined that Chu Chu has bladder sludge.

What is bladder sludge?
Bladder sludge is a thickening of the urine that never forms into stones. It is comprised of any number of calcium salts and does not flow like normal liquid urine. If sludge is very thick, it can have consistency of toothpaste (image provided).

What are the signs?
1.Urinating more frequently than usual and often outside the normal toilet area.
2.Straining to urinate. Occasionally the straining can be so painful that the rabbit will cry out or moan when urinating, although this is rare. You should consider it an emergency if a rabbit is continuously straining without producing urine
3.Sludge in the urine. Urine that becomes thick with calcium carbonate crystals is not only difficult to pass, but will tend to stick to the fur around the rabbit’s hindquarters
4.Loss of appetite and depression

Meet Pickle!🥒🥒Pickle was the sweetest boy that was obsessed with cat lickable treats we offered. Even after his exam he did not want to go back in his carrier without a bribe.

Purr-actice manager Holly is pretty obvious about her tendency to sleep on the job. So obvious that she got a giant new bed which takes up way to much floorspace in her (shared) office. We still love her though!

Clara was absolutely perfect for us after her spay surgery, except she didn't fit any of the rabbit medical shirts. Here she is wearing a cat shirt in size small. She is a Flemish Giant cross.
