Did you know that less than 10% of the pets that are unchipped will return home each year?

A microchip is a secure, reliable, permanent identification for your pet and the process is simple and affordable. Microchipping your pet can help ensure that if your pet goes missing, they can be identified and find their way back to you.

If your pet is chipped, make sure their information is up to date. To help keep pets close to their loved ones, share this post and remind your friends to !

Earlier this spring we admitted a weak, emaciated, and visually impared eagle. We were suspicious of avian influenza and had to use quarantine protocols while we awaited test results. Luckily this guy tested negative and after a couple weeks of care and feedings was strong enough to be transported to the Atlantic Wildlife Institute. He is currently still there under observation to further evaluate his vision and assess his releasability.

This girl has been in recently due to spinal issues. In this picture, Dr.Berry is performing electro-acupuncture to help reduce pain and to help with the healing process.

Sometimes when we are concerned about a possible intestinal foreign body, the initial radiographs may be unclear. If this is the case, we can give the dog "barium". This liquid is radio-opaque and we can take additional radiographs to see if it is moving through the intestines appropriately.
We usually have to syringe feed the liquid to the patient, but when a lab comes in we are usually lucky in that they will eat it right up for us!
Luckily the barium moved right through this goof and he didn't have a foreign body after all!

We recently had the tragic loss of a foster mama cat. Her one surviving kitten was placed with our technician Courtney until it was strong enough to join a foster family. Our assistant Jody had another mama cat with 4 kittens that were around the same age, and luckily she took this little guy into her family. The tiny kitten we named "Hans Solo" is doing very well with his new family and will be up for adoption in the near future.

It's officially kitten season! DAH is currently fostering 2 litters. The older litter is 6 weeks old (5 kittens) and the other litter was just born last night (7 kittens). We are looking for name suggestions for the first bunch (fruit/pie theme) and need a whole new theme for the brand new babies! Post your suggestions below!
We currently have a list for kitten adoptions, but if you would like to be added to that list please give us a call or send us an email.

Attention all pet parents! 🐾 Did you know that heartworm disease can affect dogs, cats, and other animals? It's caused by a parasite transmitted through mosquito bites, and it can lead to serious heart and lung issues in pets.

In Canada, where mosquitoes are abundant, it's crucial to take preventive measures. Don't wait for symptoms to appear – prevention is key! Talk with us today to ensure your pet is protected. ❤️

Did you know that pigs have a really nice ear vein that we can use for catheters. Intravenous (IV) catheters are very important for all species during a surgery or anesthetic procedure. They allow direct access into the blood stream for any fluids or medications the patient may need while under. This helps us maintain the safest and most comfortable anesthetic possible.

Have you ever wondered what it looks like to syringe feed a bat? To sum up...it's adorable. When bats wake up from hibernation early we focus on rehydration and warming them up before offering them mealworms and other solid foods. This big brown bat is being hand fed a critical care liquid diet and his cute little tongue is just lapping it up!

Dr.Jamael's desk is slowly being taken over by plants. Will work for miracle grow.

This snowshoe hare is one of the wild patients currently in our care. This girly was found extremely emaciated, dehydrated, and hypothermic. After some warmth, fluids, and a few days of food, she was like a new bunny (hare, technically!). She will be heading to the Atlantic Wildlife Institute soon, where they will continue to feed and rehabilitate her until she is able to be released back into the wild.

Getting neutered can sometimes make you feel a little down. Luckily we have lots of ladies here at DAH to cuddle these boys and let them know everything will be okay.

We may not always be as pumped about Monday's as this girly, but we can try! Happy Monday everyone!

Lucy was a BIG FAN of our new chicken paste and didn't even notice Dr.Sam giving her her vaccines!

We recently ordered in some liver paste to distract pets and help make vet visits more fun...and delicious! Cookie was a huge fan! VOLUME up for some adorable lip smacking sound effects. Nom nom nom.

It's impossible to worry about a nail trim when you're being fed treats and wearing an adorable yellow sweater.

Giving medications to tiny squirmy ermine (also known as a stoat or short tailed weasel) is not an easy job, but putting the meds in a yummy gravy sauce always helps! This little guy is recovering from a cat bite wound to his tail and is so far doing really well!

Just an FYI for pet owners, tick season is still in full force! Ticks are actually MORE active in cooler weather, such as the spring and fall. We removed these two ticks from a dog just yesterday. We suggest keeping your pet on tick prevention monthly until the ground is completely frozen over (usually late November). If you dog needs a top up of Nexgard, Nexgard Spectra, or Advantix to get them through the next month or two, give us a call!

Tiny kitten Mr.Bagel trying to adjust the IV fluid rate for a fellow patient. "Just here to help!" he says. Don't worry, we double checked his calculations.

Our Fredericton SPCA Foster kittens LOVE when we get a new order in and they can play with the packing paper.

Baby Bulldog Puppies

There were seven in the bed and the little one said "Roll over! Roll over!".

Pig Tusk Trim

Here Dr.Jewett is using a gigli wire to trim this big guy's tusks under sedation. He does not feel anything during these trims as it is similar to us trimming our fingernails, therefore the sedation is mainly to keep him still. Although female pigs also have "tusk" teeth, male pigs retain an open root that allows these teeth to grow throughout their life. They should be trimmed every 6-12 months or as needed to prevent injury to humans and other animals or damage to household furniture or flooring.

Wood Turtle Snack Time

This wood turtle came in to us at the beginning of September after being found injured by a river. On exam he was found to have a broken shell (both on top and underneath) and a severely mangled back leg. Dr.Jewett performed emergency surgery on him to repair the shell and amputate the injured leg. We can now report that after weeks of medication, TLC, and lots of yummy snacks, he is doing great and on his way to the Atlantic Wildlife Institute. He will stay there for the winter and heal a bit more before he is able to be released in the spring. We love success stories like this!

Hungry Squirrel

This young red squirrel we recieved the other day was a bit hungry on admission. As we were preparing her food she figured she would try and eat it through the side of her container. We got a good chuckle out of it and she was munching down on real food in no time!
