Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) describes a variety of different conditions that affect the urinary tract of cats.

This time of year can be very stressful for our cats. Things like decorations in the house and the extra visitors can really upset them.

It is important that all cat owners know the symptoms and causes of FLUTD and to call your vet if your cat is showing any of these symptoms.

Further information is available on the ISFM website, which is an amazing resource for all cat owners. 😻

🐴 Some great info on winter care for our horses. 🥶

As the cold winter weather trudges on, Dr. Sarah Reuss, AAEP Vice President and a horse owner herself, shares the following advice to keep your horse safe during extreme weather.

1. While lots of hay is ideal for horses to eat to keep warm, now is NOT the time to introduce a round bale if they’ve never had access to one before. It may be more work, but keep throwing them their normal hay source, just more frequently.

2. Similarly, if your horse is not used to being in a stall, now is NOT the time. The stress of a major change and the decreased activity can be risk factors for colic. Be sure they have access to shelter, hay, and drinkable water but let them move around if they choose to do so.

3. Horses that are thin, older, or fully body clipped are those most at risk in extreme weather.

4. Well-fitting blankets are great but be sure that horses do not get sweaty under them, or that the blankets don’t soak through if snow or rain covered. Wet, cold and covered is worse that dry, cold and naked.

5. Some of the highest risk times are when the temperatures hover right around freezing, as that can result in sleet/freezing rain/ice that can make horses wet and therefore colder. Slippery footing is a concern, too.

6. If using electric water heaters, be sure they are functioning and not shocking horses. Take your gloves off and stick your hand in the water (briefly!!!) to double check.

7. Entice your horses to consume extra water by flavoring a bucket, adding electrolytes to their meals, or soaking their meals in warm water. If you’ve never fed beet pulp before, be sure to add LOTS of warm water. Dry beet pulp is a common source of choke.

8. The tips of your horses' ears can be at risk for frostbite. Putting on a waterproof, jumper-style ear bonnet or other waterproof ear cover can protect them from wind chills.

If you have any questions or concerns about keeping your horses safe this winter, contact your veterinarian for advice.

🎄Christmas holidays are right around the corner and that means vacations and family visits for some.
If you have someone caring for your pet while you’re away make sure you fill out our “Absent Owner Form”. No one wants to think about something bad happening while they are gone but being prepared for it, just in case, can be really helpful.
This form essentially gives the person who is caring for your pet the ok to make medical decisions on your behalf for your pet in the event they require medical care. Without it we have to wait to get in contact with you and sometimes, especially in life or death emergencies, we sadly don’t have that luxury. 😔
For more information please contact our office 250-782-5616
The forms can be picked up at reception or we can email a copy for you to fill out and drop off.

Attention Veterinarians - Join Our Team! Dawson Creek Veterinary Clinic is looking for a mixed animal or a small animal veterinarian to join our team. We are a mixed animal practice with 9 veterinarians and a wonderful team of skilled and caring techs and support staff with a great practice culture. Our practice is growing and we are in the process of completing a new large animal facility. We currently have 2 vets on maternity leave which is why we are looking to add another member to our team but have the capacity for continued growth. This new large animal facility will have a bovine ward, 2 equine exam areas, an equine surgery area, isolation room and several hospitalization stalls. The large animal part of the practice is primarily cow – calf and equine. The small animal clinic was built 10 years ago and is a large, beautiful working space with all the modern equipment. We have a great mix of surgery, dentistry, medicine, emergency and preventative care. Our practice values good work life balance, honesty, teamwork, positivity and reliability. With many experienced veterinarians and support staff, we have a strong mentorship program at our clinic. We were awarded the UCVM clinic of the year for teaching students this year. This is a privately owned clinic with a wonderful clientele in an affordable rural community close to the mountains with many outdoor opportunities. Our clinic also has an onsite daycare with childcare options available for employee children. For more information or to apply for a position, please contact Dr. Zoe Ross at [email protected].
