Our beloved pets have different nutritional requirements at various life stages.

Our younger pets require higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to ensure proper growth. 🐶🐱

Our pregnant and nursing pets require us to increase calories and nutrients in their diet. They need more proteins and calcium to support fetal development and milk production. 🐶🐱

Our adult pets require balanced proportions of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats along with essential vitamins and minerals to support daily energy needs and overall health maintenance to prevent obesity. 🐶🐱

Our seniors pets may require a diet a change due to a natural decrease in metabolic rates and physical activity, often leading to weight gain and muscle loss. Senior diets typically contain fewer calories to prevent obesity, a common issue in less active senior dogs. They still should include high-quality proteins to maintain muscle mass and support overall health. 🐶🐱

Stay tuned to learn more about pet nutrition this fall season. 🐾

The ANSWER to yesterday Vet Med Fun question is below. 👏👏👏

Did you make a guess on our recent video post related to a parasite infection?

ANSWER is: A.) Botfly 🪰

This parasite was recently removed from a 3-week-old kitten by Dr. Paine.

Botflies are also known as Cuterebras.

Adult botflies are big and fuzzy (similar to bee) and lay their eggs near animal dwellings like barns, burrows, etc. (this kitten was rescued from a nearby barn)

As these eggs hatch and larvae emerge when a potential host is close.
The larvae will grab on to the animal’s hair coat and will try to enter the animal's body through any opening (like the nose, mouth, ear, or a**s).
Once inside, they migrate through the body until they arrive in the tissues under the skin. They will then make a small hole so they can breathe, continue maturing, and eventually emerge and fall to the ground where they become pupae and then adult flies. The small hole in the skin is what we notice on an exam when cuterebra is present and is often found around the head, face, and neck area.

On our kitten friend, the cuterebra had entered the orbital cavity.
We are so happy to report that she is healing very well and recovering from her parasite infection! 🙏 We will post an update on her soon.

If you think your pet has a parasite infection, please seek veterinary care.

Vet med fun answer.

The question was: What do you think this picture is of ?
HINT was: it is parasite related!🦠

ANSWER is:
C.) Tapeworm

This is a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) view of the head of a tapeworm.
An adult tapeworm has a scolex (head), a short neck, and a strobila (segmented body) formed of proglottids.
Adult tapeworms can measure up to 4 – 28 inches in length. As it grows inside the intestinal tract, these segments (proglottids) break off and pass in the stool. Each segment is about the size of a grain of rice.

Tapeworms anchor themselves to the inside of the intestine of their host using their scolex, which has hooks, suckers, or both. They have no mouth but absorb nutrients directly from the host's gut.

If you think your pet has a parasite, please call or email us today to discuss how you can treat them.

Did you know that most internal parasites are intestinal worms and single-celled organisms that can live in the intestines of dogs and cats? 🙀🙀🙀

Common intestinal worms include: roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Common single-cell parasites are coccidia and giardia. Some of these parasites can occasionally infect humans as well.

Roundworms are the most common intestinal parasite in dogs and cats in the world. Animals with roundworms pass the infection to other animals when the worm eggs develop into larvae and are present in the animal's f***s.

Tapeworm infections are caused by fleas and rodents! Fleas and rodents ingest tapeworm eggs found in the environment, which then hatch into larvae and live inside of them. After a cat or dog ingests a flea or rodent carrying the tapeworm larvae, adult tapeworms develop and live in their small intestines.

Coccidia and giardia are two species of protozoa that reproduce in the intestines of infected animals and shed their cysts (microscopic egg-like structures) into the environment through the infected animal's f***s. These cysts can survive in watery environments and soil, long enough to be incidentally consumed by other animals or humans. They become infected by drinking contaminated water, eating contaminated grass, or just walking through (or sitting or lying on) contaminated soil and then grooming themselves.

Call today and speak with one of our knowledgeable veterinary team members to learn which option is right for your beloved pet,

Is your pet experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, scooting, and having a poor hair coat? If yes, they could have a parasitic infection. 🙀🙀🙀
A veterinary appointment is recommended to treat any of these symptoms. Having veterinary care for your pet will decrease their discomfort and the risk of intestinal damage from an infection.

It is also important to remember good sanitation habits as well as good hygiene when cleaned up after our pet. This will reduce the risk of infection to other pets and to humans!! 🙏

Internal parasites are something we should be concerned with and do our best to prevent them from our pets. If you have questions regarding parasite treatments or preventions, give us a call at 613-384-0986 or email us at [email protected]. 🐾

Does your pet have itchy, inflamed ears? Pesty ear mites may be to blame! 🙀

These very tiny parasites can cause significant discomfort, our beloved.
Ear mites also cause excessive production of black/brown wax. The combination of wax and dried blood creates the look of coffee grounds in the ears. (see photo)

If you see any substances in your pet's ear, they need to be seen by a veterinarian.
Call us today to book an appointment with our veterinary team and stop these parasites in their tracks. 🐾
