*****UPDATE - both April and May clinics are fully booked. Thank you everyone!
We just had our 3rd positive case for Lyme already this year. Normally we reserve lyme vaccination for high risk patients but with the surge in cases in the maritime provinces over the last few years we are going to be offering a Lyme vaccine clinic Friday April 11th during our regular business hours (8 am - 2 pm). Please note this is for dogs who are our current patients only as the vaccine is not approved for other species. We also urge clients to keep tick prevention up to date anytime the temperature is above 4 C meaning that in many cases coverage may need to be kept up all year. For anyone interested in the vaccine clinic please contact us :)

With Spring on the way soon (we hope!) this is the time of year a lot of new wildlife babies are born. The clinic works in conjunction with the Atlantic Wildlife Center to care for sick/injured and orphaned wildlife. Here are some important tips to take into account when you encounter wildlife you are concerned about.
1) assess the situation from a distance. Does the animal appear injured or sick? Has it been left alone for an extended period of time or is it in immediate danger (ie a predator present)?
2) If so contact the Atlantic Wildlife Center, Department or Natural Resources or a veterinary clinic such as us who is able to take wildlife for more information on how to proceed.
3) Do not put yourself in danger! Wild animals can carry diseases such as rabies or avian flu as well as ticks, fleas and other parasites. Do not use your bare hands to capture an animal. Use a towel, gloves, a box/plastic tote or pet carrier. When in doubt contact the department of natural resources.
Please note that due to provincial regulations we are not allowed to take deer, moose or raccoons (please contact DNR for these animals). In some areas other species such as foxes are prohibited due to the risk of rabies but in our area we are able to take most species including all bird species, squirrels, porcupines, foxes, bobcats, etc.

In the last couple of weeks as temperatures rise and more clients are seeing fleas and ticks we have had cats coming in that have been treated with advantix instead of advantage. The names and packaging are so similar it is very easy to get the two confused however the 2 are very different. Advantix contains a medication called permethrin which is incredibly toxic to cats and often causes the reaction seen in one of our patients here. It can be incredibly dangerous, even fatal in high enough doses. Please use extreme caution when purchasing over the counter meds for your cats. Please share!

Although this paper is from Oregon we are seeing a large increase of avian flu cases in our avian wildlife in NB and surrounding provinces. If you feed your cat a raw diet and/or have cats that go outside and consume birds they are also at risk. So far we have not seen cases in dogs or wild canids but this is a virus that is very adaptable and resistant to cold, etc so this could possibly become a problem in the future. If you do have a cat that is a hunter that has symptoms including lethargy, inappetence, respiratory issues and/or neurologic signs please contact your vet. Also if you see sick birds in your area please use precautions (mask and glove) if handling them and contact DNR for further instruction or the Atlantic Wildlife Institute who can direct you to a veterinarian in your area who can send the animal for testing.

Rocket the pony is up to his adventures yet again. Once he grows a thick winter coat the electric fence doesn't stop him so he lets himself in/out of the fence frequently despite putting up other barriers etc. Please watch out for him in the parking lot although he is generally good at staying on the lawn most of the time. Thank you!
