Happy 20 year work anniversary Kim!!!!!
Kim has been travelling from the valley for 20 years to care for your companions at Bayview Animal Hospital. She has seen many changes and advancements in the Veterinary field over the years and has adapted and embraced them all.
We are fortunate to have such a dedicated, compassionate individual as part of our medical team.
I remember the first time I had been in the treatment room after an end of life appointment. It was moving to witness the care, tenderness and respect that Kim showed that pet as she prepared them to return to their family. Her compassion and dedication extends to all areas of her job.
Kim has a special interest and love for the study of animal behavior. You will often find her in lengthy conversations with clients or team members about behavior concerns. She is our go to for all things in animal behaviour!
Don’t let her serious side fool you; Kim is full of s***k and mischief! She is fun to have around at our out of office events.
You are so much more than a Vet Assistant and co-worker, you are FAMILY!
Reminder that we will be closing at 12:30 pm today!

Do you have a barn home to house this duo? Please contact Friends of Ferals for more information.
UPDATE: We have found a home for them to go to! Thank you for everyone who reached out.
Courtesy Post: Looking for a barn home for Red (male ginger) and Stubby (female tabby) or someone willing to work with this bonded duo as indoor/outdoor kitties!
Red and Stubby were trapped and neutered/spayed and released by FoF 4 years ago as young cats. They have been lovingly fed and cared for over the years by the owners of the property they were found on. The caregivers will be leaving the province due to unforeseen circumstances, and would like to ensure the kitties are continued to be cared for. The cats have lived outdoors and haven't ranged from the large property, but were not ever indoor kitties. They may be able to be worked with to become indoor/outdoor kitties! Please reach out if you would be willing to help this sweet pair out, or if you have any questions about them! [email protected]
Heat warnings are in effect across . And while your four-legged best friend might want to join you for a car ride, the safest thing to do is leave them home.
Temperatures in vehicles soar fast, becoming dangerous for pets who are awaiting your return if you make a stop (on a 32C day, the interior temp can reach as high as 43C in just 10 minutes).
If you see an animal in a hot vehicle and in distress, call 911.
Thank you to our creative and thoughtful client who dropped off these adorable cookies!

**** NS SPCA Release
The weather is warming up. ☀️ So far this June, our Enforcement team has issued two fines to individuals who have left dogs in distress in a vehicle and tied outside without access to shade and water. In both situations the dogs did suffer from varying degrees of heat stroke and received care. 🐾 The owner of the dog in the vehicle received a fine totaling $697.50 and the owner of the dog left outside received a fine of $410 for causing an animal to be in distress.
The SPCA would like to remind everyone to please keep your pets safely inside and cool on hot days. If you must leave them outside, ensure that they have access to shade at all times along with a constant supply of water. High temperatures make it difficult for pets to cool themselves and heatstroke can be fatal. 💔
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤?
If you see an animal in distress in a parked vehicle, here are the steps to take:
1️⃣ Assess the situation. Signs that a pet may be in distress from overheating include exaggerated panting, rapid breathing, drooling, dark pink gums, lack of coordination, inability to get up, vomiting, convulsions or collapse.
2️⃣ Note relevant information:
1. Vehicle’s description – make, model, license plate, color, exact location
2. Pet’s description – species, size, color, breed (if known)
3️⃣ If you cannot find the owner and the animal is in distress, call your local police, RCMP or the Nova Scotia SPCA (𝟭-𝟴𝟴𝟴-𝟳𝟬𝟯-𝟳𝟳𝟮𝟮) and stay at the vehicle until reinforcements arrive.
Here are some strategies to help keep your dog’s water bowl cool and refreshing:
-Keep your dog’s bowl in the shade whenever possible.
-Freeze a water bottle and place it in your dog’s bowl. The frozen water bottle acts as a giant ice cube without melting too fast. The mini water bottles are a perfect size.
-Get your dog a clay or ceramic water bowl. These bowls will help keep the water much cooler than steel or plastic.
-Purchase a cooling pet bowl. These special bowls have inserts that you freeze overnight, they will keep your dog’s water fresh and cool for up to eight hours.
By using any of these tricks, you will be able to ensure your dog’s water bowl will be kept cool in the summer heat – helping them stay happy and healthy!
Happy 10 year anniversary!!!

This past weekend the Bayview team attended the Atlantic Provinces Veterinary Conference in Halifax. It was a good weekend of fun and learning. There are sessions specifically geared towards veterinarians, technicians, support staff, human resources and management. We always come away with so much knowledge and new ideas. This year we also came back with new dental tools and ordered an exciting new piece of diagnostic equipment. Stay tuned for more on that!
Many thanks to our Zoetis Representative ,Tara, for taking us out for dinner Friday night.

Amazing!!
A client recently brought this project to our attention. They tie a yellow ribbon on their pets leash to communicate their dogs need for space.
Regardless if a dog is wearing a ribbon on their leash; adults and children alike should ALWAYS ask permission before
approaching an unknown pet. Some pets are slower to warm up, may be recovering from an injury, training or may not enjoy interacting with people or other dogs.
⚠️ Graphic Procedure: contains blood ⚠️
This pet is undergoing a procedure to treat an aural hematoma located on the Pinna (ear flap).
Ear hematomas occur when a blood vessel in the ear bursts and bleeds into the space between the ear cartilage and skin. This is most commonly associated with trauma such as scratching or shaking the ears and bite wounds. Dogs with ear infections may violently shake their head or scratch their ears causing an aural hematoma.
It is important to treat the hematoma as well as the underlying cause. Aural hematomas are very painful and when left untreated it can result in permanent disfigurement.
The preferred method of treatment involves surgical correction of the hematoma; the skin is incised to drain the blood and remove any blood clots; sutures put in place to eliminate the “dead space”; a surgical drain may be used to promote drainage. If an underlying cause of the problem is found, such as infection, an allergy or a foreign body, it will be treated.
This pet recovered well from the procedure, went home with medication and will be rechecked by the Veterinarian in 2 weeks.
We wrapped up a busy week with shamrock smoothies. Yummy!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️
These beautiful kitties will soon be available for adoption.
This is what happens when you say the word treats at Bayview Animal Hospital.
Happy Friday everyone!
