Cypress View Veterinary Clinic

Another day, another Thistle Thursday 🌸 Thistle has been doing well this week, she is still a little more sore than ideal. 😕 She's been getting laser treatments in clinic and now we've added in TENS at home this week to help reduce her pain. TENS (Transcutanseus Electrical Nerve Stimulation) can be used to help block pain signals to the brain to help provide temporary pain relief. *Ideally, this is done in an area that has been shaved down to the skin and cleaned with alcohol. Thistle's hair is still quite short and after being cleaned, a transmission gel was used between the pad and skin for proper conductivity.* Specific settings are determined depending on the area and condition it is treating. If you think this is something you could benefit your pet, contact us if you are interested in getting started with a TENS machine!

We have met our first Tick Friend of the year! 😳 It’s Flea and Tick season again everybody! It’s starting to finally get warm out (woohoo) ☀️, which means the ticks are here and they are here to stay! Give us a call to get your Flea and Tick Prevention today! 📞

Thistle decided to add some flair to today's Thistle Thursday! Her healing progress is going well! Today Thistle was so excited to show off her favourite thing, FOOD! 🌸 Joint/mobility foods are designed for pets that: are active and at a higher risk of joint injury, have an ongoing joint injury or are recovering from a joint injury. These foods contain added omega-3 fatty acids, and other select nutrients to support joint health. While a pet is recovering from an injury, like Thistle, their activity level is usually restricted. It is important to adjust their calorie intake while still ensuring they are getting all the nutrients they need to feel full with the nutrients to heal. Maybe you have a pet that's eaten a few too many snacks and could use some help getting that weight off while protecting those joints. These foods can help with that too! For weight loss/calorie restricted joint diets check out: - Joint Mobility & Metabolic Response from Purina - Metabolic & j/d from Hills - Advanced mobility & Satiety from Royal Canin For an healthy active dog ,Check out: - Advanced mobility from Royal Canin - J/D from Hills - Joint Mobility from Purina If you think your pet could benefit from a joint diet or need help with weight loss, ask your veterinarian which option might be right for them! ❤️

Who needs a puppy?! BUT!! These are special needs puppies. These little ladies came into our care on the afternoon of February 6th. They were originally a group of 10 puppies, 5 of which were rehomed, leaving 5 of them to find their furever home. Then they got sick. They started having diarrhea and vomiting, and then bloody stool. Their owners knew that they weren't able to provide the lifesaving care they needed. They phoned us and asked if we could take them on and provide them with the best chance of getting better and finding a new home. We commend them for reaching out for help. By the time they came into our care 2 little boys were too far gone and passed away despite our best efforts. It was heartbreaking. Parvovirus hits so hard and fast. We knew that this was an emergency situation. We had a hunch that these puppies had Parvovirus. We performed tests and confirmed that they had Parvo. The Angel Care Fund provided the means to care for the puppies. They received IV fluids, plasma transfusions, anti-nausea medications, and B12 injections and by the next morning they were holding their food down and their poop was firming up. Over this last weekend, they have gone from being peckish to scarfing their food down and playing like puppies are supposed to. We are so happy! Now to hold up the other side of our deal, find some loving homes. These puppies are friendly, well adjusted, just the light of sunshine in our day! So, do you have room in your life to foster or adopt these adorable babies? Here are some things you need to know! -We have named them after the Teletubbies, Dipsy, Tinky-Winky and Laa-Laa. You, of course, can change their name. -They were born Oct 29th and are all females -They are Cane Corso X Pitt Bull X Heeler X Border Collie. Dipsy is more Cane looking, Laa-Laa is more Pit Bull looking, and Tinky-Winky is more Border Collie. -They currently have Parvovirus, but are on the mend. This means they are still shedding the virus (they will be actively

We are here again with another Thistle Thursday!🌸 Today we are highlighting the importance of home exercises! Only so much Rehabilitation can be done in clinic, and it’s crucial that we continue to work with our pets at home to make sure their recovery has the best chance. Did you know that when your pet is in our rehab program, RVT Tracey makes you a personalized home exercise program? You will receive an email with a link to the exercises that Tracey has set up for specifically you and your pet. These exercises are dependant on their injury/where they are in their recovery period. The best part of this program? All of the exercises have How-To videos so you can always make sure you are doing the correct movements. Thistles recovery is going great so far, she is officially 4 weeks post-op! Way to go Thistle! 🌸💗

Week 3 of Thistle Thursday! 🌸 This week we started Thistle back in the Underwater Treadmill! The water helps take pressure off of her leg and allows her to use it a bit easier. This allows her to build her muscles back up in her surgery leg. Thistle used the UWT before surgery many times as she is a sports dog (meaning she is used to going very fast in the treadmill and does not like controlled slow walking) 😉 Stay Tuned for next week as we have a cool surprise! ⚡
