We couldn't resist sharing some photos of Gus, looking pretty comfortable in his new home. Sometimes, as in Gus's case, it is necessary to surgically remove an eye when it's not medically treatable. Looks like having only one eye isn't slowing Gus down at all!

and if you're looking for a worthy cat rescue organization - Keeping Cats Homed is amazing. We would absolutely LOVE it if you're into taking photos of your kitty, if you would post them here so we can see them too!

December is recognized as National Cat Lovers’ Month, a purr-fect time to celebrate the unique bond between cats and their humans! It's all about showering extra love on your feline friend and appreciating their quirky charm. Here are some fun ideas to celebrate:

🐾 Ways to Celebrate Cat Lovers' Month:
- Pamper Your Cat: Upgrade their scratching post or treat them to a new cozy bed.
- Extra Snuggles: Schedule some extra cuddle time—if your cat’s into that kind of thing. 😼
- Photoshoot Fun: Capture your cat’s best angles for social media fame. (Don't forget the hashtags: !)
- Give Back: Donate to local shelters or volunteer to help less fortunate kitties find homes.
- Healthy Treats: Whip up some homemade cat treats or surprise them with their favorite store-bought ones.

Meet Gus, the sweetest little 12 week old kitten. Sadly, Gus developed a very serious and very painful condition in one of his eyes where the only possible treatment option was surgical removal of the eye. Since his surgery just yesterday, Gus is much, much happier and back to his playful little self... and once healing is complete and his fur grows back, no one will even notice he's had surgery, but they WILL notice how cute he is!

Please HELP US say thank you. This week, veterinary clinics across Canada and the United States are celebrating their team members. Veterinary technicians and assistants do an incredible job, often behind the scenes... drawing blood samples, performing important lab tests, taking radiographs, inducing and monitoring anesthesia, performing various dental procedures, preparing for surgery...and the list goes on and on. They also cuddle, coax and reassure and almost ALWAYS have treats in their pockets!

Vet Tech Appreciation week is next week, October 14-18. Veterinary technicians and assistants work tirelessly to provide kind, professional, and compassionate care for all of your fur-babies! They come in early, stay late, and frequently give up their lunch breaks to ensure that your pets are not only cared for, but cuddled, consoled and loved during their visits with us. Much of their work happens behind the scenes but know that they are passionate about THEIR patients and YOUR pets. Please join with us next week for a week of celebrating and appreciating these incredible people!

Check out Astra's work day at New Perth Animal Hospital. Seems she gave everyone but Dr. Dave a helping paw. She would have loved to head out on call with Dr. D but things were just too busy around the clinic. 🥰🐾

Sometimes our patients just don't want to stay by themselves in their cages. When that happens, we might have to put them to work! Keep reading to check out how Astra "helped" at New Perth Animal Hospital yesterday...

We just wanted to share a photo of Magnus and Gracie who have very different ideas of exactly what "lounging" means. Can you guess who is who?
PS Neither one of THESE pets are responsible for the damage to the arm of the couch but THIS family does have "other" pets too ;)

Send a big Happy Birthday to birthday boy, Ridge, who just happened to visit the New Perth Animal Hospital on his big day! It wasn't easy getting him to sit still for photos but seems the treats and birthday bandana did the trick. (Ridge assures us it was the treat!) 🎂 💕

Tis the season, especially in the evening or after dark.

Do you know what to do if your dog gets skunked?

Skunks are notorious for their defense mechanism — a spray with an unmistakably pungent odor. Pet owners seldom witness their pets being sprayed by a skunk, but the smell is uniquely unpleasant.

Depending where on their body a dog gets sprayed, being skunked can generally be handled at home by decontaminating your dog with a special bathing formula. However, in some scenarios, a veterinary exam may be necessary.

Getting sprayed in the face can often cause eye irritation or damage. Dogs with multiple skunk spray exposures or a severe reaction to skunk spray could also develop dangerous anemia.
