“Pet me hooman!”

Archie hasn’t been feeling well the past few days and required some diagnostics in hospital. Even when not feeling 100%, Archie made sure to share his affection with the staff.

We hope you you feel better soon Archie! ❤️‍🩹🐾

Infection of the external ear canal is called otitis externa and is one of the most common types of infections seen in dogs. Some breeds, particularly those with large, floppy or hairy ears are more prone to ear infections, but they can occur in any breed.

Ear infections are painful. Many dogs with shake and scratch at their ears to relieve the discomfort. The ears often become red and inflamed and develop an offensive odour.

To diagnose an ear infection, your veterinarian will have to evaluate the patients ear with an otoscope and obtain a sample from the ear to look under the microscope.

Microscopic examination is essential in helping your veterinary team choose the right medication, as there is multiple different kinds of infections that could be present.

Unfortunately for this patient, they had a significant yeast (fungal) infection in their ears. After a Registered Veterinary Technician analyzed the sample under the microscope, appropriate medications were prescribed and the patient should start to feel better soon.

Who knew something so unpleasant could look so pretty! 🔬

It has been said that it takes a special person to be a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

On a daily basis veterinarians are putting in long hours, dealing with difficult cases and emotional challenges. They are putting patient care and their devotion to clients ahead of leaving work on time or taking that lunch break.

This week we want to recognize our veterinarians, not only are they special to us, they are resilient, passionate, and dedicated towards every patient that comes into their care.

For every meal you’ve missed. The tears you’ve shed for that particular pet. The hours at home you have spent invested in finding answers for an owner - The pets and owners of our community thank you.

Join us in wishing our amazing group of Doctors a happy Veterinarian Appreciation Week. 🩺🐾

Happy National Sheltie Day! 🐾❤️

The Shetland Sheepdog, also known as the Sheltie, is an extremely intelligent, quick, and obedient herder from Scotland's remote and rugged Shetland Islands. Shelties bear a strong family resemblance to their bigger cousin, the Collie. The Shetland Sheepdog is a small, active, and agile herding dog standing between 13 and 16 inches at the shoulder. The long coat is harsh and straight, with a dense undercoat, and comes in black, blue merle, and sable, with white markings. The coat, along with a long, wedge-shaped head; small, three-quarter erect ears; and deep-chested, level-backed torso, give Shelties the look of a rough-coated Collie in miniature. Bright and eager Shelties are easy trainers and world-class competitors in obedience, agility, and herding trials. They are sensitive and affectionate family dogs, highly in tune with the mood of the household. They like to bark and tend to be reserved toward strangers.

Please share your little beauties below!

Happy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Day!🐶🐾

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel wears his connection to British history in his breed's name. Cavaliers are the best of two worlds, combining the gentle attentiveness of a toy breed with the verve and athleticism of a sporting spaniel. The Cavalier's all-around beauty, regal grace, and even temper mark him as one of dogdom's noblemen. A toy spaniel no more than 13 inches high, the Cavalier draws you in with his face: The sweet, gentle, melting expression emanating from large, round eyes is a breed hallmark. Another is the silky, richly colored coat that can be one of four distinct varieties. Cavaliers may be aristocrats, but they gladly descend from their royal high horse for a backyard frolic or a squirrel chase. They get along nicely with children and other dogs. Adaptable Cavaliers do equally well with active owners and homebodies'they can be upbeat athletes or shameless couch potatoes, depending on an owner's lifestyle.

Show us your Cavi’s in the comments!! ❤️
